How To Care For A Singing Voice

How to care for your singing voice: Well, I go for honey, lemon and hot water. It really soothes the vocal cords and prevents getting colds, flu, etc. It works a hundred percent.

Well, obviously, no smoking, no shouting in nightclubs. Most of the people that come to me that have lost their voice, have lost it through talking, not singing. In nightclubs or when you're over-talking, you're using your vocal cords and you really do lose your voice that way.

I use a method called "placement vocals," and I'll demonstrate how they work. It's very simple. If I'm playing, singing an "Ah" is basically not singing from your throat, so the vocal cords don't rub together.

So if I'm singing from my throat, "Aaaahhhh," that's the tiny vocal cords together, so I tend to go. If I'm going higher, place my vocal cords here, so I go "Aaaahhhh," which gives you much more control. Or if I'm going lower, bring it into the body, "Aaaahhhh.

" So you can hear the difference, and it's a mind practicing technique. Now, just to recap on how to take care of your vocal cords, hot water, lemon and honey; no smoking; no late nightclubbing before singing the next day and, of course, vocal placement and that's how to take care of your vocal cords. .
