Miley Cyrus reveals her hidden vocal technique
Miley Cyrus Discusses Longstanding Vocal Condition
Pop singer Miley Cyrus, known for her distinctive raspy voice, has revealed a chronic condition that has been affecting her vocals for years. In an interview with Zane Lowe, the 'Wrecking Ball' artist discussed her struggle with Reinke's edema, a noncancerous vocal cord disorder.
Cyrus admitted to having a large polyp on one of her vocal cords, which contributes to her unique sound but also makes singing challenging. "It's like running a marathon with weights on your ankles," she explained, describing the strain that comes with every performance. She further highlighted the difficulty of touring due to the strenuous nature of her shows and the economic constraints involved.
The condition, which is often linked to chronic vocal strain, smoking, or acid reflux, has had both artistic and professional consequences for the artist. While Cyrus did not specify her treatment plan, standard options for Reinke’s edema include voice therapy, surgical intervention, and lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking and managing acid reflux.
In the interview, Cyrus refused to consider surgery, emphasizing her identity as a vocalist. "I am my voice," she stated emphatically. Although her wild partying in the past could have potentially impacted her voice, she emphasized that it did not cause the condition.
Reinke’s edema has contributed to her signature vocal tone, which she considers a "blessing" and a defining feature of her artistry. However, the condition also imposes physical constraints that limit her touring and performance capabilities, requiring careful management and vocal preservation.
