Vocal health for singers is an important topic. After all, as a singer, your voice — and, actually, your entire body — is your instrument! It only makes sense to fully understand how it works, and how vocal health really affects your performance.

We’ve debunked the myth that drinking milk is bad for your voice, and that not all lozenges and sprays marketed to singers are created equal.

Editor’s Note: Joanna from The Voice of Your Life blog pointed out a few things that we thought are worth adding in:
Lung capacity is important, but not as important as training to MANAGE the outflow of air. I agree that swimming is a great exercise for singers, because it requires both. Many people I see with damaged voices have tried to push out (expel) too much air; this is the opposite of real breath support.
Also, recent acoustics research resonators are mainly in the throat, even though we experience them in nose and face.
Thanks Joanna!
