Okay. So I've just started voice lessons [yay choir ^_^] and my teacher says no caffiene or carbonated sodas, and I've been off them since, but my sister [who has also been in choir] says that I can drink them and it won't matter. Right now I'm on the side of my voice teacher [she knows best, hah] but I would like to know for sure. btw she says that it dries out your vocal chords and whatnot. If there's any other foods I can't have please tell me, I want to keep my voice/throat/vocal chords in tippy top shape ^_^
Love,
Tarja

Please don't repeat what others have said. Foolish and uneeded.

It does matter. Drinking sodas will build up flem in your throat and the acidity can coat your tongue. I don't sing anymore so I can drink them, but when I was I avoided them like the black plague.

OK I'll upset the apple cart one time..... for ME PERSONALLY ONLY........ I cannot CANNOT sing a performance drinking water. I get more phlem and scratchiness on water.... I drink pop. I KNOW its supposedly a NO-NO... but it works for me. NO dairy though!!!!!!!! Dairy is the enemy for singers. Hot tea is good if I am having throat issues, but yes, DIET soda usually is my staple when I have a performance. OJ is good also.

Caffeine makes nerves worse, and I don't eat dairy products for a day before I perform. Also, eat lightly before you sing.

your voice teacher is right and what ever you do dont drink milk before performing it is thicker and wil cause your salivia to thicken causeing it to be harder to swallow
