AB  - OBJECTIVES: It is acknowledged generally that professional contemporary 
      commercial music (CCM) singers engage in supplementary employment ("the day job") 
      to achieve and maintain a reliable living wage. In this paper, consideration is 
      given to the impact of such nonperformance employment on CCM's sustainable vocal 
      health. METHODS: Collected data from a survey of 102 professional contemporary 
      gig singers were analysed using descriptive statistical procedures from the 
      Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. Although these data provided 
      descriptions of the personal characteristics of individuals in the sample, the 
      inclusion of open format questions encouraged participants to report details of 
      their "lived" experience. Additionally, a meta-analysis of a range of associated 
      literature was undertaken. RESULTS: Sixty-five participants (N = 102) reported 
      that in addition to their heavy performance voice use, they were employed in 
      "other" work (the "day job") where their speaking voice loads were high. In 
      responding to open-ended questions, many proffered written comments that were 
      unprompted. The collected data from this element of the research study are 
      reported here. CONCLUSIONS: We propose that at least some causal factors of 
      singers' reported voice problems may lie in the misuse or overuse of their 
      everyday speaking voice (as demanded by their "day job") rather than a misuse of 
      their singing voice. These findings have practical application to all whose 
      concern is care for the vocal or emotional health and performance longevity of 
      professional singers.
