Chapter 450 Second Voice Change
Zhou Mo asked his aunt to make a lion head.
The dishes that Gu Qingning brought were black pepper beef tenderloin and turtle soup made by her parents' aunt.
Yu Zhiming cooked some dumplings as the staple food.
The three of them had a delicious dinner.
Afterwards, Zhou Mo and Gu Qingning discussed and started to clean and tidy up the bedroom and living room.
This made Yu Zhiming grin secretly!
The bedroom and living room were cleaned every day and were not dirty at all.
He was just a movie star, and he came to see a doctor. Was it necessary to give him such a grand welcome...
Around eight o'clock in the evening, Yu Xiangwan finally returned carrying two large bags of about twenty steamed buns.
"Old Five, the big star hasn't arrived yet, right?"
“Not coming!”
Yu Zhiming replied, "The appointment is at nine o'clock, so I won't come so early. But, sister, why did you bring so many buns?"
"Big stars are not gluttons. If I can't save my face, the most I can do is eat one of your buns."
Yu Xiangwan rolled her eyes at him.
"Old Five, you don't understand this, do you?"
"A senior celebrity is surrounded by assistants, agents, bodyguards, and many other people."
"I'm worried there won't be enough buns to go around."
As he spoke, Yu Xiangwan took the buns to the kitchen, put them in the steamer, and lit the stove to heat them up.
After Yu Zhiming waited for his fourth sister to finish her work and leave the kitchen, he threw the box of branded men's leather goods given by Dr. Weng to him.
"Sister, you can consider it as something you bought and give it to Zhang Bai."
When Yu Xiangwan saw the logo printed on the box, her eyes lit up.
"Haha, Gucci, a luxury brand! Lao Wu, where are you from?"
"Are you willing to send me off?"
Yu Zhiming said, "It's a thank-you gift from Dr. Weng."
He said proudly, "I have proven myself and do not need such luxury goods to decorate myself."
"If Zhang Bai goes out to discuss business, he still needs some external things to prove his strength."
Yu Xiangwan hugged the box and said with a smile, "Old Five, I love you so much. You really are worthy of being my brother."
"This thing has entered my heart, hehe..."
At 8:30 in the evening, after the three women had cleaned up the bedroom, living room, and bathroom again, they could no longer stay in the room.
After the three of them discussed it, they decided to go downstairs and guard.
This made Yu Zhiming look disdainful.
You don't even know who the other party is, why are you so excited?
He couldn't help but remind them, "Three beauties, senior stars, please pay special attention to the word 'senior'."
"It also has another meaning, which is that it means you're no longer young, you could be an old man."
"It's definitely not the young fresh meat, or the middle-aged handsome man or handsome guy you imagined."
Gu Qingning rolled her eyes at Yu Zhiming.
"Are we so superficial?"
"Anyone who can be praised by famous singer Rao Yi must be a talented film and television star."
"If I count on my fingers, there are only a few of them."
"No matter which one of them comes, it's worth us waiting downstairs to greet them."
Gu Qingning said very considerately: "Zhiming, don't go down, don't catch a cold."
Yu Zhiming snorted softly, "I didn't even think about going down."
After the three women came downstairs, Yu Zhiming couldn't sit still anymore.
Who could it be?
Ge Dawang's big forehead? Comrade Daoming? Comrade Excavator...
Yu Zhiming hadn't been guessing for long when he heard a chaotic sound of footsteps coming from outside the door.
He went to open the door immediately and saw Fourth Sister, Qing Ning, and Zhou Mo surrounding a tall, middle-aged man with a very familiar face walking towards him.
Yu Zhiming recognized him immediately.
Oh shit, it turns out to be Zhao Zhiwen, a famous film and television star from Binhai.
I have heard of Yu Zhiming and have watched some TV series he starred in, and I have a very deep impression of him.
In particular, his voice is very magnetic, extremely contagious and penetrating.
In terms of voice expressiveness and line delivery skills alone, Yu Zhiming personally believes that Zhao Zhiwen is definitely one of the few domestic film and television actors who is at the ceiling level.
Now that he has problems with his voice, he still offered to pay a million yuan, which made Yu Zhiming understand.
His voice is also a signature.
This also made Yu Zhiming feel extremely responsible, and he was determined to find out the root cause of his voice problem.
"Hello, Mr. Zhao! I'm also your fan and have watched many of your films and TV series."
Zhao Zhiwen said politely, "Hello, Doctor Yu!"
"I've admired you for a long time, and I came here tonight specifically to seek your help. I hope you don't mind bothering me."
This sound was not so pleasant to Yu Zhiming's ears.
Not only hoarse, but also harsh.
"Mr. Zhao, please come in!"
Yu Zhiming let Zhao Zhiwen into the living room.
After the two parties sat down on the sofa, he asked directly, "Mr. Zhao, what's your voice like now?"
Zhao Zhiwen sighed softly and said, "Doctor Yu, it was more than three months ago that I suddenly realized that my voice had changed."
"At the time, I thought it was because I overused my voice."
"I rested well for over half a month, but my voice hasn't recovered and is actually getting worse."
"I consulted several medical experts, but they couldn't find any problems."
"They told me it was the natural second voice change of my voice and told me to learn to accept it."
Yu Zhiming naturally knew about the so-called second natural change of sound.
Seeing that his fourth sister, Qing Ning and Zhou Mo were all looking at him inquiringly, he organized his words and began to explain things to them.
"You must be aware of the first puberty voice change."
Yu Zhiming explained: "When people are young, their vocal cords are shorter and the mucosal lamina propria attached to them lacks fibrous components."
"As we age, our vocal cords gradually lengthen."
"During puberty, as male and female gland hormones are secreted, our vocal cords increase dramatically in length."
"During this period, boys' Adam's apples grow larger, their throats become wider, and their voices become deeper."
"Girls generally enter puberty around the age of ten. After the voice change period, girls' voices generally become higher-pitched."
"It's because you girls have small larynxes, relatively short vocal cords, and a high vibration frequency."
After a pause, Yu Zhiming continued, "When entering middle age or old age, many people will experience a second voice change."
"At this time, women are usually between 45 and 55 years old, and men are mostly between 50 and 60 years old."
"At this point, their voices will become shaky, their volume will decrease, and their timbre will become deeper."
"This is mainly because the elderly have reduced hormone secretion, which causes the vocal cords to gradually shrink, the vibration amplitude to decrease, and the glottis to not close completely, thus leading to unstable voice."
Zhao Zhiwen waited patiently for Yu Zhiming to finish his introduction before continuing, "I knew about this second voice change and took proactive measures to prevent it."
"As a professional actor, I usually scientifically and systematically train my throat muscles and vocal cords, as well as my neuromuscular control and coordination."
"Such long-term persistence and systematic and scientific training of the vocal cords and muscles should help me avoid a second voice change and keep my voice clear."
"Also, I'm sure my voice didn't develop gradually. It suddenly got worse one day."
"So, the change in my voice is a second natural voice change, which I do not approve of."
"But several medical experts couldn't find the problem."
"Doctor Yu, I can confirm that my throat has never been injured. In the past five or six years, I haven't even had a fishbone stuck in my throat."
After a two-second pause, Zhao Zhiwen continued, "To be honest, Ms. Rao Yi and I are very good friends."
Zhao Zhiwen said earnestly, "She knew my situation and recommended you, Doctor Yu, to me based on her own experience!"
"She told me that if anyone could discover the real reason for my voice change, it would be you, Doctor Yu!"
"Doctor Yu, please help me."
Yu Zhiming met the other party's expectant gaze, stood up, and said, "Mr. Zhao, since I have agreed to accept Ms. Rao's request, I will naturally do my best to find the problem."
"Come with me to the bedroom..."
After the two entered the bedroom, Yu Zhiming reached out and stroked Zhao Zhiwen's throat, asking him to practice pronunciation as before.
"ah……"
"ah……"
As Zhao Zhiwen practiced his voice with a slightly hoarse voice, Yu Zhiming calmed down and explored and analyzed his vocal problems.
The human voice is produced by the air flow from the lungs hitting the vocal cords in the throat, causing the vocal cords to vibrate, and then resonating through the pharynx, oral cavity, nasal cavity and sinuses.
As Zhao Zhiwen continued to practice his voice, Yu Zhiming had already carefully constructed a three-dimensional perspective diagram of all the organs involved in vocalization, as well as a path diagram of the airflow, in his mind.
However, in Yu Zhiming's perception, no organic lesions were found in Zhao Zhiwen's vocal organs.
He also did not find any sudden bumps or other abnormalities that would hinder the airflow.
There is no problem with the vocal organs and pathways!
Could it be caused by lesions elsewhere?
Yu Zhiming knows that some diseases may also affect the voice, such as Parkinson's disease, various tremor diseases, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis and other neurogenic diseases, which can affect vocal function.
In addition, some mental illnesses may also cause pronunciation disorders.
Yu Zhiming, who had no results for the time being, asked Zhao Zhiwen to lie on the bed and gave him a thorough full-body examination.
To Yu Zhiming's disappointment, after a physical examination that lasted more than ten minutes, he found no useful clues to the cause of the voice changes, except for a few insignificant physical problems.
Could it really be just the second natural voice change?
After thinking for a few minutes with his head down, Yu Zhiming looked up at Zhao Zhiwen, who was full of worry.
"Mr. Zhao, I might be able to try to determine whether your voice change is caused by a second natural voice change or some other reason."
"What method?" Zhao Zhiwen asked with anticipation.
Yu Zhiming pondered and said, "I need a high-definition recording of you practicing your voice or speaking."
"I will try to reconstruct the working state of your various vocal organs when you pronounced the words based on the recording."
"Compare it to the current state of your vocal organs. If the changes in your vocal cords are more significant, then it can be confirmed that this is caused by a second natural voice change."
"Doctor Yu, can you do it?" Zhao Zhiwen felt it was unbelievable, like a fairy tale.
Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "I've done something similar before. Based on a person's voice, I was able to determine which part of their vocal organs was diseased."
"There's still some confidence."
He then asked, "High-definition recording?"
Zhao Zhiwen nodded and said, "This is what I have the most. I recorded a poetry recitation in the studio four months ago..."
