A
Sore Throat and Your Singing Voice
Should I Sing with a Sore
Throat?
When your vocal chords are
dry and brittle, your sound will be scratchy. You
may want this sound with certain styles or songs
but it is not the best way to treat your voice.
There are several ways to prevent a sore throat for
singers.
Number One Tip
One of the best things to do
is to avoid singing with a sore throat when you get
one. This will cause more damage to your vocal
chords, making it harder to recover. Perhaps the
best thing to do is to drink a cup of herbal tea
every day. It is even better if you squeeze half a
lemon's juice into the brewed tea.
The combination will provide
a soothing layer around your vocal chords and down
your throat making the tissues softer and more
pliable. This can be tremendously comforting and
will keep your voice, whether talking or singing,
at it's best.
Improving Vocal
Quality
In order to really improve
the quality of your voice, remember to practice
your breathing techniques as well as singing scales
once a day. This will keep your voice in practice
and you will be improving your talent
simultaneously. Whether you sing at a local karaoke
event or even give professional performances on
stage, it is good to keep your voice in good
health. You only have one voice box so protect
it with a vengeance!
If You Sing with a Sore
Throat You Could Damage Your Vocal
Chords
The damage incurred by trying
to sing when your throat is sore can become
permanent if you continue to vocalize when your
voice box is begging you to stop. Listen to your
body. It's your instrument and should be finely
tuned. If you are feeling discomfort while singing,
then it is probably wise to stop for a few days and
help your voice recover.
When you continue to sing
with even just a dry or scratchy throat, your vocal
chords become increasingly irritated as they
vibrate together with no lubrication. So drink a
lot of water and remember to support your voice
while you sing. Don't try to sing above the whole
group. Join in with them and
blend.
Most Importantly
Drinking liquid is worth
repeating as a dry throat can become sore quickly
and hinder your singing performance. You should
always be aware of keeping your vocal chords moist
and flexible for maximum strength.
