<title>museman: A healthy voice is will last you a lifetime!</title>
<link>http://karaokeboogie.com/board/article94.htm</link>
<description>museman: Read this important article for Vocal Training Warrior!

In my popular book, Singing and Speaking on the Edge of a Grunt, chapter one discusses the incredible health benefits associated with singing, speaking, laughing, athletics and other “natural” physical activities. Research has proved that these activities release human endorphin hormones into the body. It is also very important to accept your personal responsibility to make healthy choices every day to keep you voice healthy. Read these important tips to maintain a healthy voice.
 
Do Not Abuse Your Voice!

It is obvious that to continue to be a powerful vocalist one must take care of their voice. Right? The truth is that many of us take the voice for granted and expect it “just to work” no matter how much we may abuse it.

Voice problems may arise from a variety of sources including voice overuse or misuse, cancer, infection, or injury. Here are steps that can be taken to prevent voice problems and maintain a healthy voice.

Get Proper Training

This is above all the most important aspect of proper vocal performance. This is because many vocal ailments originate or are made worse by lack of proper breathing, controlled breath support, air delivery and poor diction.  Most people do not vocalize correctly out of the womb.  I do not care how great your voice sounds now.  Ask Elton John who had, arguably, one of the finest rock voices in pop history and ended up with surgery to his larynx in 1986 due to constant improper use.  His voice has never recovered.  Compare this to such people singers like 

Luciano Pavarotti and Beverly Sills.  Due to their proper training, they sang in high registers at an old age. Do not make the mistake of dismissing them because they sang “opera.”  All vocalists must have proper breath support no matter what style they perform in.  All styles change form the neck up and are the same from the neck down.

Drink Plenty of Water

Keeping your body well hydrated by drinking plenty of water each day is essential to maintaining a healthy voice. The vocal cords vibrate extremely fast even with the most simple sound production; remaining hydrated through water consumption optimizes the throat’s mucous production, aiding vocal cord lubrication. To maintain sufficient hydration avoid or moderate substances that cause dehydration. These include alcohol and caffeinated beverages (coffee, tea, soda). And always increase hydration when exercising.

Do Not Smoke 

I can’t believe that we must still say such a thing with all the evidence that smoking can kill you. It is well known that smoking leads to lung or throat cancer. Primary and secondhand smoke that is breathed in passes by the vocal cords causing significant irritation and swelling of the vocal cords. This will permanently change voice quality, nature, and capabilities.

Do Not Abuse or Misuse Your Voice 

Sorry to inform you but your voice is not indestructible. In every day communication, be sure to avoid habitual yelling, screaming, or cheering. And if you participate is such activities, project your power form your abdomen and not your throat. Try not to talk loudly in locations with significant background noise or noisy environments. Be aware of your background noise—when it becomes noisy, significant increases in voice volume occur naturally, causing harm to your voice. I am currently working with a 29-year-old woman who had vocal cord surgery last year because she was a bartender in college and had to speak over the crowd constantly. She had four vocal nodules on her vocal chords.  If you feel like your throat is dry, tired, or your voice is becoming hoarse, stop talking.

Minimize Throat Clearing

Clearing your throat can be compared to slapping or slamming the vocal cords together. Consequently, excessive throat clearing can cause vocal cord injury and subsequent hoarseness. An alternative to voice clearing is taking a small sip of water or simply swallowing to clear the secretions from the throat and alleviate the need for throat clearing or coughing. The most common reason for excessive throat clearing is an unrecognized medical condition causing one to clear their throat too much. Common causes of chronic throat clearing include gastro esophageal reflux, laryngopharyngeal reflux disease, sinus and/or allergic disease.

Moderate Voice Use When You Are Sick

Reduce your vocal demands as much as possible when your voice is hoarse due to excessive use or an upper respiratory infection (cold). Singers should exhibit extra caution if one’s speaking voice is hoarse because permanent and serious injury to the vocal cords are more likely when the vocal cords are swollen or irritated. It is important to “listen to what your voice is telling you.”

Do Not Take Your Voice For Granted

Your voice is an extremely valuable resource and is the most commonly used form of communication. Our voices are invaluable for both our social interaction as well as for most people’s occupation. Proper care and use of your voice will give you the best chance for having a healthy voice for your entire lifetime.

Thank you for reading!

<description>museman: Hello fellow singers and musicians!

I have researched the following FREE RESOURCES on the Internet to help you achieve your success as a vocalist and a consumer. 

The first resource I want to share with you is LimeWire. This is a Free (basic service) Music, Video, Images, Document and Computer Programs sharing service.  It is different from Napster or itunes in that you are sharing and not making a purchase.

I can’t count the number of times that LimeWire has been able to locate music files that I would probably never find in the marketplace. Further, I got them for free. When you take into consideration all the other types of files that you can search for other than music, this site is an incredible resource.  Further, unlike many music files services, LimeWire is compatible with Windows and Apple.

Read below all the great benefits of LimeWire and the cost.

Here is the best way I know to find lyrics. Just put the Song Title followed by the word Lyrics in the search box of any search engine and numerous listings will come up after you initiate the search. You will likely find one of the websites listed below.

Here is how you can import the lyrics into your computer. Create a new Word Document, Highlight the lyrics you want, Copy them and them Paste them into you Word Document.  Once there, you can change the Font and use your editing tools to make the lyrics look as you want.

Here are some more valuable and Free resources. There are many instances where I just want the chord structure to a song or the Guitar part written in tablature. The websites listed below are excellent resources that I have used on numerous occasions through the years. 

Just like the method above for finding lyrics, you can put the Song Title followed by the word Chords in the search box of any search engine and numerous listings will come up after you initiate the search. You will likely find one of the websites listed below.
