A couple weeks ago I judged 'TeenStar' a singing competition ran by Open Mic UK and they handed out a little booklet that was full of great tips for aspiring and professional artists.
I'd like to share a few with you! Here goes ...
Protecting Your Vocals
Keeping your vocals protected is primarily about lifestyle choices. Two good vocal singing tips are avoid speaking loudly or shouting (no more yelling at your siblings or shouting in nightclubs!), and avoid whispering as this causes the vocal cords to squeeze together tightly, which can create trauma.
Hydration is one of the most key vocal singing tips, and drinking two litres of fluids a day, especially two hours before a performance, will do your vocals wonders. Avoid smoking, coffee and alcohol, as these will all dehydrate your vocal chords.
Finally, keeping your general physical health in check, working to reduce any muscular tension in your body, getting enough sleep, and maintaining a happy persona will each allow your vocals to shine.I hope you have found this weeks tips helpful.
