Tips for Maintaining Vocal Health in the Colder Months

Winter is upon us and with the winter weather comes some complications that singers have to go through. The cold can affect our voices more than people think. Here are some ways to make sure your voice stays in good condition during the most wonderful time of the year.

01. Stay Hydrated

Hydration is extremely important for singers year-round, but drinking plenty of water is key to making sure you maintain proper vocal lubrication.

02. Limit Caffeine and Alcohol

Caffeine and alcohol act as diuretics, which result in dehydration. Consider a warm tea with honey if you need a warm drink.

03. Protect Your Voice

Wearing a scarf can protect your throat from the harsh cold air, and avoid speaking in loud tones during your holiday parties, which can cause vocal strain.

04. Avoid Irritants

The holiday season always comes with strong fragrances, which can be irritating. Opt for more natural alternatives for your peppermint candle.
