With all the work those VAs do, playing those cartoon characters, it's no hype that all that work can play havoc on their vocal cords--I only hope they get the best medical treatment for that. In fact, for all furture VAs, can they get the best advice to protect their v cords?

I heard somewhere that drinking milk damages your vocal cords, although, I'm not sure if that's entirely true, but if it is.
I suppose stay away from milk. :0

Great. I read that just as I finish off a tall glass of milk. LOL!
I've heard about voice actors doing voice exercises to keep their voices in shape. Some characters may be more of a strain that others, but I think most roles in episodes/movies are recorded in about one day, so it's not like the actor is talking constantly in whatever extreme voice they're doing.

Apparently Harry Shearer needs plenty of honey when doing Mr. Burns.
In his later years, Mel Blanc lost the ability to maintain his Yosemite Sam voice for more than a few minutes at a time; it was just too much strain on what had to be the most flexible set of vocal chords in human history.
But it's true all around. Both Sean Schemmel (Goku) and Christopher Sabat (Piccolo, Vegeta) had repeated bouts of laryngitis from all the yelling they did during the recording sessions of Dragonball Z. And Mark Hamill strained his voice doing the Joker's hysterics in Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, that left him unable to speak for two days.
