I usually attend one game per year. The last few years have been cupcake games so I never end up yelling too much after the first quarter.

I went to the Florida game and yelled quite a bit all night long!

Now I'm paying the price! Its nothing to bad, but I was thinking about going to the Bama game but not sure I could / want to mess up the vocal cords anymore Lol.

How does one yell without losing your voice?

Stay with deeper tones. It will carry better also. Tear the bottom out of a cup for use as a megaphone.đź“Ł

If you stick with a “smoother” tone you can still be very loud without fatiguing your voice as much. Think how people do the sustained “Oh” sound on kickoffs. When you yell and your voice “distorts” is when you really wear your cords out.

How Do You Avoid Losing Your Voice?​

I think the better question is, Should All Vol Fans over 65 Own a Defibrillator?

Speaking for myself, I taped the game and caught up with real time just as the Gators scored their (not improbable) TD w just seconds left. I then taped the next half hour before I turned it back on to see the Vols march to Victory. However, my blood pressure was through the roof during that 30 minute period reflecting back on nearly 20 years of heartbreak and massive disappointments. If I had drank one more bottle of Jack Daniels or eaten 4 more Smokey Mountain Market Chili Cheese Dogs, I would have been a goner.

Gonna check Amazon for Defibrillators today...... Feel confident it will get good use the rest of this season. Go Vols

This is true. Opera singers have to project their voices to the back of 2000 seat auditoriums without any amplification.

Another reference, think Tarzan’s call that he does. Very loud, not hard on the voice.

I'm gonna try that, but I'm already worried about the looks I'm going to get. Lol

I was there Saturday, still don't have much of a voice today. I'm 62 and thousands of younger people around me just standing not yelling or clapping their hands, I tried to get them yelling, but to no avail. Wish they would just stay at home or let someone get their tickets that would give their all. It's been that way the last 4 years around my seats.

I can't believe an almost blue hair is fussing about millennials not standing yelling and other wise being obnoxious toward us of the boomer population. What is this world coming to?

I must do it right because I do yell but have yet to lose my voice. (Probably just jinxed myself for the Bama game lol).

This is what I do - just be loud but don't scream! The only time I scream is when something great and unexpected happens - then I don't control what I do very well.

Take ibuprofen after the game and it’ll heal up quicker.
