All of the things listed below are almost impossible to avoid completely so the next best thing is to monitor and keep them in moderation. Good Luck!;-)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stay away from milky drinks such as err\u2026milk.<\/strong> You don\u2019t want anything slimy to stick to your vocal cords during a performance as this could affect the quality of your voice. Water is your best friend during those times as it thins your mucus and cleanses your cords. Stay away from milk, flavored drinks, and acidic drinks (lemonade) three days prior to your gig. Check out this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.your-personal-singing-guide.com\/bad-singing-foods.html\">list of foods to avoid.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Stay away from alcohol.<\/strong> Ouch! This is a tall order. But alcohol\u00a0causes constriction in the blood vessels in vocal tissue which causes a\u00a0reduction in vocal control.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stop talking!<\/strong> Yeah it\u2019s impossible not to talk nonstop especially during tours but please remember you\u2019re touring to perform and your instrument is your vocal cords. Don\u2019t wear it out. Let the drummer and the triangle player do their yakkity yak til the wee hours of the morning. They can still play well without their voice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And <\/strong><strong>of course, Don\u2019t Smoke.<\/strong> First, no drinkin, then no talking, and now no smoking? Not trying to convert you into a monk here but it&#8217;s just that smoke is an irritant so no can do. If you smoke a lot, your vocal cords would swell. At the very least, limit your consumption. Sisha, cigars, pot\u2026no nuthin if you love your voice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quit that Throat Clearing Habit.<\/strong> If you\u2019re one of those annoying folks who keep clearing their throats out of habit, quit it now. Number one, it can damage your cords (surprise!) and number two, it\u2019s -as I\u2019ve said, annoying. If you feel the urge to clear your throat ever so often, consult your EENT specialist. If you can\u2019t help it, try sipping warm water with ginger to clear your throat from phlegm.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t Stop Movin.<\/strong> Aerobic exercise is a must for singers. Make it a point to jog or run on the treadmill at least twice a week. If you\u2019re out and about, bring a jumping rope. You need to exercise your lungs and develop your upper body and diaphragm. Watch your weight, too.<\/p>\n<p>Photo source<\/p>\n<p>_____________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p><strong>Unified Manufacturing<\/strong>\u00a0is a custom CD\/DVD and Vinyl Manufacturing facility based on both sides of the US.
