It’s time to lift
December 1, 2024
Did you know that lifting weights doesn’t just provide physical benefits, but several mental boosts, too!
The Holidays are a time for gatherings and socializing, which means a lot of talking and potential strain on your vocal cords.
As a vocal coach, my top piece of advice is to stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your vocal cords lubricated.
Another tip is to warm up your voice before engaging in a lot of talking or singing. Humming or doing vocal exercises can help prepare your voice for the festivities.
Keeping your voice healthy and strong during the holiday season may take several different approaches. Try a combination of the below, as well:
If you know you have busy day of talking or singing ahead of you, try to space out your activities throughout the day. Take breaks in between conversations or performances to give your voice a chance to rest.
If you’re going to be speaking or singing in a large or noisy space, consider using a microphone or other amplification device. This can help reduce the strain on your voice and make it easier for you to be heard.
When you feel the urge to clear your throat, try coughing or swallowing instead. Clearing your throat can actually cause more irritation and strain on your vocal cords.
Standing up straight and keeping your shoulders relaxed will help you breathe more easily and speak more clearly.
If your voice feels tired or strained, don’t push yourself. Take a break and give your voice a chance to recover. If your symptoms persist, see a doctor or vocal coach for further guidance.
Remember, your voice is an important tool for communication and expression. By taking care of it, you’ll be able to enjoy all the festivities of the holiday season without any vocal issues getting in the way.
