following tips: Vocal Hygiene • Avoid odd laryngeal sounds and excessive throat clearing. • Keep the speaking voice at a low intensity. • Avoid talking and singing over loud noises. • Blow away tension before talking or singing. • Rest the larynx when not using it. • Reduce vocal demands. • Avoid smoking and second hand smoke. • Avoid using an unhealthy voice. • Avoid mucosal-drying agents such as caffeine and alcohol. • Maintain mental health and manage stress. Vocal Management • Reduce quantity of singing; fewer lessons, more use of instrumental arrangements, feature other members of the group. • Use monitor speakers facing the stage. • Discuss vocal needs with the sound technician. • Avoid use of chest voice at high pitch levels. • Rest the voice on performance days. • Rest between sets or scenes. • Arrange the music to suit your voice; change keys if necessary. • Pace your practicing. • Pace your chorale/choir singing. |
