What are some good foods for your voice when your about to sing?

Answer 1

try drinking hot tea with lemon

Answer 2

NO COLD WATER! It must always be room temperature water. Cold water makes your vocal chords tense while room temperature water will moisten and expand them while keeping you hydrated.

When I'm doing a lot of auditioning - or before a show, I'll drink a lot of Throat Coat - I've grown to love the taste of it and even if its only psychological, it makes me feel better and therefore sing better.

Answer 3

Lemon is good. Lots of water to keep your mucus membranes thin. The warmth of tea is soothing, but avoid caffeine as it dehydrates you and hydration is really important. Also stay away from milk and other dairy.

Answer 4

I always drink hot tea before I sing. If I don't have any available....room temperature water works pretty well....I would avoid really cold water.

Answer 5

I've heard that a lot of professional signers swear by ginger tea...it's supposed to loosen up the vocal cords and reduce irritation.

Answer 6

Something like chocolate milk to coat the throat, then after a little while try something with lemons or lemon flavor.

Answer 7

Tea, especially ginger
I say avoid milk products, it gives me more flem
I say NO SODA, carbonation rips the vocal chords
could be an old wives tale

Answer 8

tea with honey,,, lemon juice,, stay away from dairy and even mints or gum.. they create a mucus in your throat that can cause your voice to crack or warble.

Answer 9

I grew up in choir and I found tea to be quite useful.

No soda, no milk though.

Answer 10

Put some lime into cool water.
