May I ask if I can ever sing with just one vocal chord left to me after surgery to remove my thyroid?
Thank you.

I’m sorry to hear about your vocal cord problems after surgery. Of course, I am not an ENT expert, but the bottom line is that if you can speak then you can sing. Most people already have quite a range of tones in their speaking voice; singing just exaggerates these, lengthening the amount of time we sit on each pitch. I suggest you start with gentle humming – something simple like a lullaby or spiritual or folk song. Good luck!
