MANILA \u2013 After suffering an acid influx in the recent years, Regine Velasquez-Alcasid today disclosed that her voice has been slowly getting back to its old form.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank God. My voice is returning to normal. I still have a tough time every so often, but it\u2019s something I just have to manage. I\u2019ve been singing more often these days too, so my voice gets used to the grind again,\u201d Velasquez told reporters at a press conference, adding that she has also been regaining her confidence in singing once again.<\/p>\n

\u2018Asia\u2019s Songbird,\u2019 who used to effortlessly reach stratospheric notes, often got frustrated when her voice starts to crack as she tries to sing high notes with the acid reflux irritating her throat.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are times when you think you\u2019re doing well, but then your voice cracks and you can\u2019t do anything about it. My confidence suffers as a result,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

But trusting her capability as a singer, Velasquez continued to sing fearlessly \u2013 never mind flubbing a note.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrue enough, things got better when I wasn\u2019t being too conscious. What will be, will be. Never mind if my voice cracks, eh di rocker ako (then I\u2019m a rocker)! But of course, I always make sure to take care of my instrument,\u201d she said, noting that she will continue singing while putting her acting career on hold.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to maximize my voice since it\u2019s better now and is cooperating with me!\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

The 45-year-old singer has been scheduled to hold two concerts at Solaire & Casino\u2019s The Theatre on November 20 and 21. In here, she will be singing both foreign and local songs.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany songs here, I\u2019ve never done before. So, I\u2019m really going to prepare for this one,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
