Afraid of Singing with a
Sore Throat? - You Should Be!
How to Protect Your Vocal
Chords when Singing with a Sore Throat
There are many hazards for your voice
which can be caused by singing with a sore throat. It is
never a good idea to try to sing your best when your throat
is at a weak point. Think of what is housed in your throat.
That's right, your vocal chords. They are also known as your
"voice box."
As a singer, the one part of your body
you don't want to "break" is your voice box. This is your
"musical instrument" of choice, so to speak. So when you
feel that dry irritation in your throat, put off the karaoke
contest for a while.
An Ounce of Prevention
...
All of the famous singers, the people
you and I love to listen to, are aware of how important it
is to protect their voices. The way to do this is to do your
best not to get sick in the first place. I know, you can't
always avoid it but taking care of your vocal chords sure
doesn't hurt either! But, when you do get a sore throat you
have to fight it and be gentle to your singing voice.
If you can prevent your throat from
becoming sore, you don't have to deal with the annoyances
caused by having to overcome it. One of the best ways to
prevent a sore throat is to drink a lot of water. This helps
to keep the throat well lubricated, preventing irritation
when the vocal cords vibrate together.

Repairing Your Singing
Voice
When the unfortunate happens and
damage to your vocal chords is done by singing with a sore
throat, there are a few things that can be done to help
repair the damage. You should never have to suffer
through pain and irritation after a performance. But if you
do, try drinking herbal tea to help coat the lining of your
throat, softening the tissue around the vocal chords. Also,
there are voice exercises and breathing techniques that can
be done to help soothe and strengthen the voice
box.
If Your Voice is Straining, Ease
Off
Whatever you do, don't strain to hit
high notes in order to give a better performance. It isn't
necessary to damage your vocal chords on your way to being a
better quality singer. After all, you've worked hard and
practiced with a passion in your quest to finding your voice
so why undo all that work? And keep in mind that preventing
a sore throat is always better than singing with one!
So whether you have an important
contest, an on stage performance or local audition to go to,
if your throat is dry and sore, put if off if possible so
that you don't have to sing with a sore throat!
