Vocal Health
As singers, your voice is your instrument. As humans, it
is your means of communication. It is the only voice you
get, therefore it is imperative that you take care of it. But
what does that mean? It means consciously avoiding
those things that are detrimental to your voice and
embracing those things that are beneficial. Below are
two lists. One list contains items that, at best, can fatigue
your voice and, at worst, create major vocal trauma. The
other list is a list of things you should do to take care of
your voice (both while healthy and while ill) to keep it
working properly for as long as possible.
