The rest is silence.

I can't speak. Or well, I can but my voice disappears if I try to speak a lot. It's rather annoying since I like to talk. Or sing. Or yell. Now I don't do any of those things - not singing along to the music in a movie or shouting with the song I'm listening to. Of course, I know that's it's better for my throat to stay silent and rest it... but I wanna talk! And sing! And shout!
