Did you need? @singingexercises_femifaronbi 1. Train your voice and body just like an athlete: Learn proper singing technique, don’t overuse the voice, get plenty of rest, eat a balanced, a healthy diet. Singers are like vocal gymnasts who traverse their artistic range with apparent ease and flexibility. Gymnasts are extremely disciplined people who spend hours perfecting their craft and are much more likely than the general public to sustain an injury. Professional singers carry some of these same risks and must maintain a disciplined practice schedule with intervals of rest and recovery to perform at an optimal level. 2. Pace yourself. When you are preparing for a show or audition season, you must pace yourself and your voice. You would not think of trying to get all of your exercise in at the gym by going one day a week for 5 hours. Rather, you should sing (and exercise) in smaller increments of time (30-45 minutes) each day, gradually building muscular skill and stamina. As you improve, you should be able to increase the amount of time as well as the difficulty of vocal skill. 3. Avoid phonotraumatic behaviors such as yelling, screaming, loud talking, singing too loudly. When you increase your vocal loudness, your vocal folds bang together harder (much like clapping your hands really hard, loud, and fast). After a period of doing this, your vocal folds begin to react to the impact by becoming swollen and red. Long term phonotrauma can lead to vocal fold changes such as vocal fold nodules. 4. Adequate hydration. Be sure to drink plenty of water to keep your body and vocal cords hydrated. Run a way from from anything that affects your voice negatively. #mysingersdiary #vocalhygiene #singers #transformation #vocaltechnique #singingtips #yourvoice #vocalexercises #warmup #selfdevelopment #speech #musicschool #vocalhelp #practice #discipline #voicelesson #singing #vocalization #vocalists #musician #music #vocalhealth #voicecoach #worshipper #choir #singinggroup #solo #singingexercisesandprinciplesforsingers #femifaronbi https://www.instagram.com/p/B7n542Llkf7/?igshid=1vhngor920n4i
