Cooling down is just as important as warming up. Here are three easy steps to cool down your voice!

A singer told me she won't drink cold water before a performance. But did you know that cold water doesn't actually touch your vocal folds?

The research tells us: there's no evidence cold water harms your voice. Warm liquid might help thin mucus and make it easier to clear, or it might feel relaxing. But these are short term benefits.

Really, you can choose the temperature that you like the most without worrying if it's going to harm your voice.

What truly matters is systemic hydration. The water you drank yesterday!

Questions? That's what SLP On-Demand is for. 🔗 Link in bio.

Are you a singer who is overstimulated? Give this nervous system hack a try!

Everything you need to know about a steamer vs. nebulizer! Nebulizers increase superficial hydration, which reduces phonation threshold pressure, which makes it easier for your vocal folds to vibrate, which means you can sing with less effort.

If I missed any info you need, let me know in the comments!

FYI If you get a nebulizer, you need 0.9% saline vials.

Singers get a lot ads. Most of these products are preying on our deep connection to our voice and are not worth your time or money.

Things that you can try instead to thin mucus in the throat, in order of potential:
1. Systemic hydration
2. Mucinex (ask your Dr.)
3. Saline nebulizer
4. Warm salt water gargle
5. Hot tea
(It’s like a hydrating hot pack)
6. Herbal sprays or gargles
(often a placebo effect)

*Only 1-3 can directly impact your respiratory tract tissue

If your voice has not been working consistently for more than two weeks (and even that is a long time), it’s time to do something about it! I sincerely want everyone to have all the knowledge and skills they need to keep their voice healthy, and that is why I developed SLP On-Demand membership. It’s an affordable community coaching space where you can get answers immediately, heal, and maintain your vocal health for the long run. Ask me about how to join before registration closes next week.

SLP On-Demand is a community of singers that are passionate about vocal health. Some have had past vocal health challenges, some have not, but everyone wants to learn from each other, maximize their vocal health, and prevent any future problems by learning from a voice therapist (a licensed speech-language pathologist)! No more myths and no more fear. Just research, evidence and critical thinking to guide you!

If you have had vocal health problems for more than two weeks, it’s smart to go to the doctor. But which doctor, what kind of exam, and what’s the most important thing to remember when you are there?

Here are the three things you need to know…

Being a singer is glamorous approximately 4% of the time. The other 96% is figuring out how to keep a human body, a nervous system, and two tiny vocal folds functioning well enough to do the job. 😂

Understanding that taking care of your voice does not mean becoming terrified of using it.

Vocal health is not about constructing the perfect little bubble where you never talk loudly, never get tired, never eat the “wrong” thing, never go out, never sing when conditions aren’t ideal, and follow 47 rules perfectly every day.

Your voice is supposed to be used.

The goal is resilience.

The goal is knowing how to make decisions when rehearsal runs long, you have three performances in a week, you wake up tired, your voice feels different, you’re traveling, or real life simply refuses to cooperate with your ideal vocal-health routine.

That’s the part I wish we talked about more.

A sustainable singing career is not built by being perfectly behaved. It’s built by learning your own instrument, working with good professionals, making informed choices, and knowing when to push, when to modify, and when to stop.

That’s very chic.

What would YOU add to the “kinda chic” singer list?

How do I work with MUED teachers who have wrecked singing and speaking voices?

It can be a journey and sometimes a procedure in consultation with your laryngologist is an option. But you always have to do the work at home to change habits, do the anti-inflammatory exercises, and tune into the messages from your body as it heals.

The path is not the same for everyone, so reach out if you are trying to get your voice back!
