Is Your
Voice "Weather Shy"?
If you find
yourself shying away from singing
during certain weather
conditions, you don't have to
anymore. The tips below will show
you how to avoid those singing
blues when bad weather
arrives.
Believe it
or not, the weather is a key
factor in the success of your
singing voice. Dry weather can
cause you to have a "dry mouth"
or "dry throat." Then there are
temperature extremes - from
extremely hot to freezing cold
temperatures.
The extreme
cold weather can cause colds,
runny noses, the flu, and sore
throat - all hindrances to your
singing. The extreme hot weather
can cause loss of breath and
difficulty when holding long
notes. High humidity, high pollen
levels, etc. - all these can
affect your singing in a negative
way!
Moisture
and Breathing Problems while
Singing
With too
much moisture in the air or high
pollen levels, you might
experience heavier breathing than
usual, especially when singing.
To help, try taking slow, steady
breaths before your singing
event. Practice the song through
a few times and practice
breathing in between lines of the
verses. If you practice "when"
you will breathe and then think
it through as you are performing,
you will find it easier to keep
your breathing right throughout
the song.
Getting air
in between lines or after several
words of the song will keep the
flow of air steady as you are
singing and will also eliminate
that panicky feeling of heavy
breathing.
Extremely
Cold - Colds, Flu bugs, Runny
Noses and More!
If you are
very sick or have a fever then
you probably need to cancel your
singing event. If you only have a
common cold, runny nose, or minor
sore throat, there are ways to
help your voice and combat these
problems. With a runny nose, use
nasal spray before singing to
clear out any extra mucous.
With a sore
throat, use honey and lemon
mixtures to help soothe your
throat before performing. If
possible, take the mixture with
you to the event and take a break
to use the solution half way
through the performance when
singing multiple songs. In case
of an emergency, find some
soothing cough drops with honey
and lemon. If your throat is
severely sore and it hurts to
swallow, try postponing your
singing event until it feels
better.
With a
stuffy nose, use a humidifier the
night before near your bed. There
are also medicines to help clear
the nasal passages such as Vicks
(TM) vapor rub.
These tips
about singing and the weather
will do one of two things. It
will either reinforce what you
may already know about singing
and the weather or it will teach
you some new voice tricks. Both
are good for your singing voice.
Itchy
Throat Syndrome Affects a Singing
Voice
When you
have an itchy throat, the dreaded
coughs when singing can be
torment! Avoid eating or drinking
items that make your throat dry
on the day you are to perform.
Drink plenty of liquids to keep
your vocal cords lubricated.
While singing, avoid breathing in
through your mouth if possible.
When dry air hits a dry throat,
the "itch" happens! Breathe in
through your nose between lines
of your song. Practice doing this
beforehand so you won't feel
awkward.
To protect
your vocal cords, try these
tips:
- Practice
singing in the shower for
added moisture
- Drink
plenty of water each
day
- Keep
a humidifier on
hand
- Limit
dairy product intake on the
day of your
performance
- Add
lemon to your
water
- Use
honey regularly to soothe your
throat
Knowing
enough about singing and the
weather to take the right
precautions before performing on
stage cuts the fear factor by a
margin. If you use what you have
just learned about improving your
singing voice, you should have
nothing to worry about the next
time you step out on
stage.
