I'm looking at a possible tonsilectomy this summer. I've had a peritonsillar abscess. I really hope it would not affect my singing voice. I'm 26 and have played Pinocchio in Shrek, and have done a pretty good impression of Ariana Grande. Any tips on what to tell the surgeon if I end up having to get it done?
Just remind the doctor that your voice is very important to you. They'll do the best they can. More than not, your singing voice usually improves following the removal of tonsils; especially if they always give you trouble or constantly cause irritation/infection/etc.
