was just sharing with my friend TK tonight that it is hard to be vocalist. To be able to sing well on any particular day if you are not as gifted as my band members, you’ve got to …
- Stay away from alcohol as it dehydrates you
- Stay away from coffee as, again, it dehydrates you
- Stay away from spicy food as it irritates your throat
- Have enough sleep otherwise your voice will tell
- Have enough exercise otherwise you will easily run out of breath
- Do the 30 mins warm-up exercise prior to any recording or performance
- Last but not the least, drink plenty of water throughout the day because it takes 30 minutes for the liquid to be absorbed and travel to your throat
See, it’s not easy to be a vocalist. Not to forget to mention that some day your voice sounds worse than others and you will feel quite down because of that (again, if you are as gifted as …)
