Things singers Avoids to have better voice

Having problems with your voice? Do you find that some days your voice seems dry?  I'm not going to go into the normal nag about smoking although you should try to avoid anything that is likely to dry out your voice before a performance, so here are a few tips on what to avoid before & during your show

1. Milk & other dairy products - furs up the throat, avoid drinking Milk, Cream, Tea and Coffee prior to singing.

2.  Dry Ice Machines - The chemicals used dry up the throat.  If the effect is an essential part of the show use a Fog Machine with cooler (water & glycerine based) or Haze Machine (chemical based but non-toxic).  Both can still affect the voice if inhaled, make sure you have plenty of water to lubricate the throat

3. Sing out of your range - save the top notes for when you can sing them correctly and don't over-reach or you could end up damaging your voice!

4. Alcohol - although a small drink may help to relax you, alcohol may numb the chords and too much will cause lack of control (vocally & otherwise!!)

5. Coughing and clearing your throat - swallow or sip water instead.

6. Smoke filled environments - pretty impossible to do if your playing pubs n clubs but do what you can by taking a wander outside for fresh air during the breaks.

7. Excessive loud talking and yelling - can lead to vocal strain

8. Eating heavy meals , the food doesn't have time to digest and sits heavily in your stomach.  This makes it harder to control breathing, vocal reach and projection.
