Your singing performance can be either
helped or hindered by the foods you eat beforehand. You
shouldn't sing on an empty stomach; however, don't sing on a
full stomach either! Here are some tips on how and what to
eat before your singing event.
When to Eat Meals before the
Performance
Try not to eat only moments before the
event. This can cause harmful throat-clearing and affect
your vocal cords before or during your performance.
If your throat is not in top shape all
the voice lessons in the world will do little to help you.
Also, if your stomach is full while
singing, your diaphragm movement will be hindered. You will
find it difficult to take a full breath when needed. Also,
you might begin burping! That will definitely turn off any
audience!

On the other hand, don't perform when
you're starving. Your stomach might begin growling during
the performance. Also, you’ll need enough energy to be
vibrant for your audience. If you skip a meal beforehand,
you might develop fatigue, nausea, or headache, which can
hinder your singing voice and performance.
With these in mind, try to eat a
"normal" balanced meal about an hour or two before singing.
This will give your digestive system a chance to work. Eat
non-heavy foods that are easy to digest. Eating foods that
sit heavy in your stomach or overeating can cause you to
become extremely sleepy. Eggs are great because they offer
high protein, but are low in density.

discovering about foods and singing when you take a little
time to read a well-researched piece on the subject? Now, on
with the show about what foods to avoid before giving a
vocal performance.
Foods to Avoid before
Singing
Avoid foods that can cause you to
experience an increase in nose and throat mucous while
singing. These include dairy products such as milk or ice
cream. Avoid citrus fruits as well. These tend to dry the
throat. Spicy foods and coffee are throat irritants. Also,
avoid food choices that can cause too much air in the
stomach such as sodas and other drinks with "fizz." Try to
avoid ice cold food or drinks before a performance. These
can cause your throat to constrict. Avoid alcohol and large
amounts of junk food on the day of your performance. And, go
easy on the salt!
Foods to Enjoy before
Singing
While there are foods and drinks that
do harm your throat, there are a few foods that soothe the
throat such as candy or licorice tea. Drink lukewarm drinks
such as herbal tea or water. Some healthy meal choices for
your body and voice include chicken, almonds, fish, yellow
vegetables, apples, eggs, and rice.
Salt water or baking soda gargles,
sugar lozenges or some hard candies, and honey can help
soothe the throat if it's irritated just before a
performance.
When you take notice of the foods you
eat on the day of your singing performance, you'll be amazed
at how these affect your singing voice. Shoot for the
healthy stuff to enhance your vocal cords and give your
singing audience a real thrill!
