10 Vocal Health Tips
1.) Rest is very important. Get as much rest as you can. Even if this means cat naps in between shows, on the bus… rest wherever you can and learn to sleep in busy or noisy places.
2.) Eliminate any unnecessary talking if you have a heavy singing schedule. If you can come up with a series of ‘hand gestures’ or sign language to communicate with others to cut out unnecessary talking, this is good. When touring, make an Artist Pass/Lanyard or sign that says “Today is a no talking day for me”. Do this if you feel that your cords are particularly fatigued. People need to understand that you make your living with your internal instrument and it needs plenty of TLC.
3.) NEVER WHISPER! This is about the worst possible thing you can ever do as it grates the cords together like sand paper and this is terrible for your voice!
