W: Rock stars now face a new hazard ---voice abuse. After last weeks announcementthat Phil Collins might give uptouring because live concerts are ruining his voice, doctors arecounselingstars about the dos and donts of voice care. Here in the studio today, we haveMr.Paul Phillips, an expert from the High Field Hospital. Paul, what advicewould you give to singersfacing voice problems?

　　M: If pop singers have got voice problems,they really need to be more selective aboutwhere they work. They shouldntwork in smoky atmospheres. They also need to think aboutresting their voicesafter a show. Something else they need to be careful about ismedicines.Aspirin, for example, singers should avoid aspirin. It thins the blood. And ifa singercoughs, this can result in the bruising of the vocal cords.

　　W: And is it true that some singers usedrugs before concerts to boost their voices whenthey have voice problems?

　　M: Yes, this does happen on occasion. Theyare easily-available on the continent and theyare useful if a singer hasproblems with his vocal cords and has to sing that night. But if theyare takenregularly, they cause a thinning of the voice muscle. Most pop singers sufferfrom threethings: lack of training, overuse and abuse of the voice, especiallywhen they are young. Theyhave difficult lives. When they go on tour, they do avast number of concerts, singing in smokyplaces.

　　W: So, what would you advise the singers todo?
