I hope this isn't an April Fools' joke But someone should reach out to him. I've seen patients with laryngeal cancer and one of the hallmark signs is sudden voice change . .

Not sure if anyone discussed this since there are 8 pages here already, but it's a real concern. It could be nothing or it could be major.

He uses his diaphragm to cast. A method he has also very kindly taught to me.
That means he does not damage his throat while he is casting (Most of the time) and that's how most high-level shoutcaster survive... or they wouldof died by now.
Good example of casters who uses diaphragm to cast would be TotalBiscuit.


Haha that's funny to read, I play a metal(core) band and I know that vocalists that scream/grunt also 'sing' from their diaphragm in order to not fuck up their voice.

Smoking does not make your voice change that quickly. Cigarettes change your voice over decades, not five years. I've smoked for 7 years and no one has ever said my voice has changed. More than likely it was a natural change or due to the amount of casting he was doing and this straining his vocal chords (yelling, speaking rapidly, etc).

I can't believe all the jobbers who are talking bad about Nick in this thread considering how much he spend his time casting and bringing us great games.

He does NOT take drugs. It's just smoking cigarettes. And it is not like he is an addict who has one stuck between his lips all the time.
Stop exaggerating things and making a big deal out of nothing.

And his voice is so husky and deep not because of smoking (though I make fun of him about it all the time) but simply because he has been commentating for so long.
It's called shout-casting for a reason and for a period of time his voice was so evidently strained.

TBH Nothing wrong with his voice now. Sure it is different but his voice is still AlmightyTasteless.

Old Bamboo: I'd switch to smoking hookah

-No. That kills your voice. Tried and tested more than 3 times.
Your voice dies if you are casting the next day and you do Hookah. Plus he doesn't like it lol.

Peace.


I honestly don't think people are talking bad about Nick, who can? It's just people are concerned for his well being and are expressing it. Whether they are expressing it properly and are being understood properly, thats a different matter.

This is not smoking....this is the same thing that happens to singers in a band when they have to scream/talk very loudly for hours and hours a day.


It's true, even in that interview they say he was casting non-stop for long periods of time. It just happens some times.

I'd assume that it's a mix between smoking and constant casting of games.

While it probably is a contribution from smoking, I do think there is more to it, such as a lot of commentary, aging, and different methods of speaking/casting; likely all of the above at the same time. Like someone on the first page posted, his voice changed a lot between [the video in the OP] and [that Artosis interview] in only a year.

I like his new voice better anyway. His voice was really smooth, but I do enjoy the deeper pitch of his current voice.

Plus if he still had his old voice his laugh would sound way too much like Day9's and I'd get more lol'y than I already do when he laughs hard enough that they sound the same.

Great example -- love me some Jason Lee in the Mallrats era. People who think smoking caused his voice to change that dramatically clearly are not smokers themselves. They'd realize how ridiculous it is to presume smoking makes your voice change that dramatically in one year. Completely silly assumption. As I said, smoking alters your voice over decades, not a handful of years. Having a profession that is based on constant talking and yelling, however, will certainly damage your vocal chords in a short amount of time.

Tasteless said he doesnt smoke it was just a lot of years of casting and yelling.

Tasteless smokes and knows how to party. Years of that combined with nonstop casting and yelling at Artosis will have an effect on your voice.

That said, its not a bad thing at all... a voice like that gives character. I don't mind it one bit
