Fans are breathing a sigh of relief after a video of Qin Lan speaking at a press conference showed that the actress is slowly recovering her voice.
The actress recently made an appearance at a press conference on 4 July, revealing that her short hair has grown slightly longer and that her voice has recovered significantly.
However, there has been no official confirmation that she has fully recovered.
Qin Lan previously spoke about her altered voice, stating that her vocal problems stemmed from her filming “Story of Yanxi Palace” in 2018, when her numerous crying scenes and intense vocal use led to her developing chronic pharyngitis.
After filming another drama in 2020, she was diagnosed with unilateral vocal cord paralysis, and despite four months of rest, the condition was not completely cured. Filming at high altitudes in 2023 further exacerbated her throat problems, making her vocal cord issue more severe. Her unique husky, electronic voice became her trademark, accompanying her on screen for nearly three years and, along with her short hair, earning her the nickname “Electronic Dora”.
Fortunately, after a long period of rest and recuperation, her voice is now smooth and stable, without hoarseness or stuttering, and the quality of her original voice acting has been restored.
