Amplifying Voices of Singers with POTS, hEDS, & HSD

Chronically Singing seeks to gather and share the stories of singers who are navigating invisible and dynamic chronic health conditions, such as postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS), and hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD). We share these STORIES through our website and social media platforms, along with resources for singers and teachers seeking information about singing with these conditions.

If you are a teacher, please visit the RESOURCES page and download our free quick-reference guides for POTS and EDS/Hypermobility. We will continue to update as new studies emerge.

If you are a singer, feel free to share our guides with your teachers, choral directors, theater directors, and peers. We hope to help you advocate for accommodations that will allow you to reach for your vocal goals!
