HEALTHY THROAT – HAPPY SINGER!
Every athlete warms up before a game to avoid strain or injury; it’s no different with the voice. The best way to relax and loosen up your vocal cords is to warm up the voice before singing, always warm up!!
Using the diaphragm and breath support can release vocal cord tension. Singing from the throat will cause major vocal cord tension. It’s all about controlling the release of air when you sing. You control the release of air with the muscles in the torso. The tightening should be felt in the torso around the rib cage and tummy. When you run out of air, you will try to support your voice with other related muscles in the throat. This will cause strain and tightness. Whenever you sing, some of your vocal cord tension can be lack of breath support.
Always bring water to your voice lesson or have water available when you are practicing. Keeping your vocal cords hydrated, it’s essential for relieving any vocal strain. Water helps thin the mucus providing lubrication and protection to your vocal cords as they vibrate. Coffee is a killer and I love my coffee, but it dehydrates and cause all kinds of throat issues as well as acid reflux. So, try and stay away from coffee when you are going to sing.
When you sing, it is important to keep the throat open. If you try yawning, that is what an open throat feels like. There are stretches and self-massage techniques to relieve vocal strain and tension for the neck and jaw.
So remember to warm up your voice before singing. Always use diaphragm and breath support when singing. Make sure you drink plenty of water for hydration and relax those vocal cords.
