Members Tomm Williams Posted August 17, 2015 Members Share Posted August 17, 2015 I perform in a cover band and usually cover my vocal parts satisfactorily. Lately it seems like I've been suffering from too many colds or stressing my voice. What are some simple remedies I could be doing regularly to help my voice ?

Members highmtn Posted August 18, 2015 Members Share Posted August 18, 2015 The best remedy is to prevent wear and tear in advance. Avoid oversinging by using good vocal support. Learn to cut back the air, and use good cord closure to keep from drying out the cords. If you have congestion, you can put a couple of drops of Tea Tree oil in some steaming water and gently inhale the vapors. That will help open you up. Have a great monitor system or In-ear monitors, to also help you to avoid over-stressing your voice. A bad monitor mix will kill your voice. You can't possibly outsing amplified instruments, if you can't hear your monitors. All the Best! Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RockaTrubadur Posted August 19, 2015 Members Share Posted August 19, 2015 1. stay hydrated, especially when you sing. Lots of water.2. warm up well before singing, I find singing in falsetto to ease the voice.3. if sick, rest as much as possible and avoid singing if not neccesary.4. work on your vocal technique, vocal coach, books, DVDs etc..
