Does the humidity affect one's ability to sing?

Answer 1

Yes, to some people are more sensitive to drastic changes, a place too humity or too dry can affect in a positive or negative way your voice.

I grew up in Puerto Rico, very humid country and my voice was always really good. Then I moved to Phoenix, and at the begining my voice was really afected it because no huminity in here.

I had to start drinking more water than usual and I even some nights I sleep with a humidifyer to help me to sleep better.

So for my voice Humidity is good!

Answer 2

The humidity affects my ability to function!
Can't sing a note in any weather.

Answer 3

Oh yes, humidity is good for the voice. By definition, humidity is just water in the air, so breathing in the humid air is good for your voice like drinking water is. Ever wonder why you sound so much better in the shower?

Answer 4

It effects the warmth and tone of one's voice. The more humid the air is, the better the sound carries and the more rich you sound.

Answer 5

I know when it's really dry out my throat and all that fun stuff gets really dry. For me it's easier to warm up when it's more humid.

Answer 6

yup. Ever noticed that it's harder to breath when there's more water in the air? Imagine trying to sing! Also, very dry weather can be hard too.

Answer 7

Yes. Discomforting external factors affect any physical and mental activity you undertake. Try singing in the rain. Maybe not as good as singing in the shower.

Answer 8

Not really. I can't sing regardless of weather. ;-)

Answer 9

Yes, just as reeds can warp, so can the vocal cords...try drinking heated root beer before performing.
