Tips for Improving Your Singing Voice for Karaoke or Junior Auditions - Even with Allergies

---

Taking the Time to Warm Up and Practice Breathing Techniques is Essential in Becoming a Better Singer 

Learning how to cope when you do not have ideal vocal conditions is something all serious singers must confront. We would all like to feel terrific and have perfect weather when we are demonstrating our talent at auditions. If it's our turn at karaoke, the last thing we want is to be bothered by our allergies. There are several tips that will help should you find yourself in such a situation.

 

An improving singing voice can still reach the high notes and rise above the weather and illnesses when necessary. Allergies come from so many sources. The most common ones, mold, food, and dust can attack you almost anywhere, and they can play havoc with your voice, even your improving singing voice.

Excess mucous clogging up your vocal chords will definitely change their ability to produce the sounds you want. Some allergies can even cause edema, or swelling of the vocal muscles. Not a good thing either. The solution may be to build up your immune system to fight off these little critters before they can take up residence.

Healthy eating and natural supplements can go a long way towards improving singing voice abilities in less than perfect conditions. Since antihistamines tend to dry out the throat, it might be better to sip herbal teas for both preventing allergy attacks and relieving yourself from the discomfort if they have become entrenched.

Watch out for sugars, excess dairy products, and wheat in the spring if you need to sing and are prone to allergy issues. The old mantra, drink plenty of fluids, holds true, and some folk swear by Vitamin C for improving singing voice quality.

As you loosen up your voice by practicing the scales, keep using good breathing techniques. In hot, humid weather, you will tend to be more breathless and shorten your notes. You can study your music carefully to see where you can take breathing breaks without spoiling the flow of the song. No one wants to sing when he or she is sick, but it does happen.

Junior auditions or contests are not scheduled around how you are feeling on any given day. The old remedy of honey and lemon mixed together can soothe a sore throat as can using cough drops. Nasal spray can open up a stuffy nose so that you can breathe while you sing, an absolute necessity.

Even humidifiers at home can give you improving singing voice quality. Don't have one? Try a bowl of hot water with a towel over your head like in the old days, but not more than 10 mins. at a time. Now, go to do your performance. Put on your best smile, act at ease, and your voice will follow.
