HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR VOICE?

I guess that you’ve heard many times that the worst thing for the voice is coffee*** or cigarettes, but... it is only drop in the ocean. I will show you 10 ways how to take care of your voice better. Let’s go!

1.     Do not smoke cigarettes because tobacco smoke can irritate the vocal cords and dry them.

2.   Do not drink alcohol for it dilates blood vessels of vocal folds and makes them swollen.

3.      You should avoid air conditioning because dry air dries the mucosa.  

4.      Do not sing and speak when you have a sore throat.  

5.   Drink plenty of water at room temperature for it is very important to take care of hydration of our body!  Dehydration harms!    

6.     Ensure that you achieve the right humidity in the room where you are.

7.      Avoid speaking and singing in the cold!

8.      Ensure to your body sufficient rest and relax during the day.

9.  Take a break after vocal effort! Your vocal cords should have some time to   regenerate.

10.  Warm up your voice every day after waking up.
