Take Care of Your Mouth

Well, I've been out of commission for a little over a week. Here is the problem.

First off, here's a preface. This is going to be less about voiceover and more just about taking care of yourself. 90 percent of people who read this may never have this problem but those who do may benefit from this or may not.

Here we go. My teeth ain't so great. I've been chewing out of one side of my mouth for maybe 4 years just because I broke a tooth at some point and can't chew on it. Finally the days came where it started to ache. I'd be in pain for a few days then POOF gone. A month later again. Now, I get hit HARD. Can't even take it.

I hear about this great thing for toothaches, pure garlic. Guess what it works. I use it, it dulls the pain and sometimes gets rid of it all together. Here comes the next problem. Garlic in excess, ended up burning a few well place sores in my mouth. Not only is this ridiculously painful but the placement is so bad that SPEAKING is painful. Now, I've got a bad tooth and I can't even do VO anymore.

That is the last straw, I decide to get the job done. I end up getting a root canal (emergency) and it was bad. PAINFUL. I got out of it and I was shaking. Here we are a few days later, the pain has subsided almost disappeared and I did my first round of auditions. Finally, I'm back.

In conclusion, take care of that voice. Take care of your teeth. I still have to go back and see what else is on the list. YEESH!!!
