So you guys don't have to watch 8 mins... Worst milk Green tea Wine Carbonated drinks Best Peppermint tea liquorice root tea Vot? sounds like she's saying Pot (marijauna) Water
Throughout high school and my first two years of college, music was a big part of my academic studies. I performed in many different choirs as a baritone vocalist and often had issues with losing my voice during concerts. One time during a choir show, my baritone register completely dropped out, so i jumped a whole octave and sang tenor for the entire 2nd half of the program. It took me three weeks to get my voice back completely. After that experience, i started a routine of relaxation and loosening my vocal cords via steam inhalation and drinking herbal tea. To this day, i still keep three boxes of my favorite herbal tea blends on hand so that i can have them ready to go in the colder months. My favorite herbal teas are Traditional Medicinals Throat Coat Lemon Echinacea, Traditional Medicinals Roasted Dandelion Root, and Stash Lemon Ginger. All of the tea that i keep on hand is caffeine-free.

I am so glad you included Port. I drink it often before I perform because it tastes so good but I always thought it was bad for your voice. I am happily mistakin!
Thanks heaps for this :). I’m paranoid about losing my voice ALL THE TIME, and this just gives me a little bit more peace-of-mind, with these drinks at the ready. Keep up the great work! You’re helping a great deal of people
Thank you for these videos. 😊 I'm 13 years old and I'm doing my very first audition for singing on America's Got Talent this year in November and this stuff helps.
Thanks for the drink tips, i do drink licorice root tea before i sing and during but never heard about drinking port which i also love. Thanks again for all your info, EvR
You can drink dairy this is just a dumb myth there is literally no proof for this but if your throat does feel weird after drinking milk just eat pineapple
A drink I have twice a day every day is boiled water with fresh lemon juice and grated ginger. Not only is it great for your voice like normal water, it also boosts your metabolism :D
Coconut water at room temperature can help a lot if you're dry raspy at the gig. Drinking it after a gig before bed will also help your voice recover faster and improve your endurance. I learned this from some of my friends who are professional opera singers and they say it is an absolute necessity during performance season. If you need something for nerves, a tiny bit of brandy mixed in can do the trick.
@@Singersstory Dear Nicola, I am ur new Subscriber and, i like ur vdo very much. I'm a new singer, i want to know, what is " VOT" u'v just mentioned ? And, how to get rid MUCUS from the the THROAT and from CHEST, Plz let know asap, if possible. Thanks in advance
Hey Nicola - I live in the Barossa Valley in South Australia and have been sipping on port for my singing voice and found it really good, but now I have another one.... still port but a port that's produced here in the Barossa called Sable, it's a chocolate port and not fiery like some of our ports and I find I can pitch much better. In fact I really can't sing very well without it. Of course you still have to go easy with it as you don't want to end up drunk! I found your exercises very helpful and I am going to keep doing them to give me better control. Thanks again!
Thank you so much! Back then a few years ago my singing was really pretty and I just love to sing all the time where ever I went. And then out of nowhere, my voice dropped. My voice just went from really good to bad and I wondered why and I found out I've been doing a lot of bad habits for my voice but now I'm trying to regain my singing voice again and so far it's working!! :)
If I have a cold then I stick to warm drinks, so yes it can make a difference. Some singers don't have ice in their water but I've not had a problem if I'm not sick.
Thanks, Beautiful. We have a gig 12-29-24 and I've been sick since Thanksgiving. My voice is improving but has a way to go. ALL of your suggestions are gonna happen here. Many thanks.
I like beer the best. The foaming action of swallowing really help me. I drink non alcohol beer and it works really good. I eat a lot of Halls cough drops in the first set too. Non iced water is a must too
So I used to sing so well last year but I've been slacking due to me being busy and my throat would hurt at times. Now when I try to sing it sounds strained and I feel like I've lost a bit of my high range. I wanna practice to get it better but it hurts which also is part of the reason I slacked a bit. What's the best thing I can do for my voice?
I’m looking for an alcoholic drink that won’t impact my vocal cords, I know wine is bad and surgery mixed drinks are bad.., any tried and true good tips? Is Port a wine or a mixed drink? Do you drink it warm or cold? Where can I buy it ?
For those without steamer i find that pouring a bit of boiling water into a mug and leaning your whole mouth nose to enclose it works!! So the water shouldnt be more than a third of the mug so it doesnt blow back to your fave when you exhale
for me the best Lubrication for me while singing is lukewarm water and the worst coffe before singing and carbonated drinks. coz those two makes my voice to cracks and breaks.
Whiskey is the best during long night gigs! avoid beer at all times! Peppermint tea during day gigs and Pineapple (NO ICE during hot days!) Thanks! Milk is Kriptonite for singers!!!
Is the peppermint tea that is a good a black tea with peppermint or more an herbal infusion? Kind of curious your thoughts on coffee too. Thank you ♥ ♫
I find milk terrible, but usually when I've done open mic I accepted coffees as a thank you instead of beer etc. Would alcohol be better than coffee - given it doesn't have much milk in it (normally)? Also, what about ginger beer or just ginger water? or lemon water? lemon, honey, ginger? honey, pepper? I read chocolate can clear things, but I guess you would go for one without dairy in it. :)
Yesss!!! You nailed it! I do find anything with milk or drinks that are carbonated are a complete no-no! (ie. pop or beer!) I have found no issues with my beloved red wine, but then that is just me... Have you ever tried having a shot of olive oil (or similar) just prior to a more challenging song?? Supposedly, that just opens your throat and allows you to achieve those challenging notes! Let me know what you think! :)
i had 3 times green tea with lotsa lemon and ginger in a day?? suddenly felt ,my voice is cracking dry and cant talk properly..now should avoid green tea and does excess of having lemon damage throat?? plz inform..Thank you
Thanks for the tips! If I may add: tea and wine (especially red) are drying on the throat due to tanins (tanins are astringents, so they dry the mouth). Can you tell me why warm tea is better than cold water? I figure the cold water would help with the inflammation, overusing the muscle and the vocal cords... What do you think?
I have a question. My name is Joe and I play piano w vocals for Royal Caribbean currently on the Grandeur out of Baltimore. I’m doing 4 month contracts working 14 days straight w 2 off...I don’t drink. Don’t smoke. Lots o water and sleep, good gym ethic. 52 and vox are starting to go! 40 50 songs per nt. Jokes help keep song count down but...still, any ideas?
I have friends Who swear by sparkling water to help them clear their throat, they drink it in periods where we practice a lot or have many performances. not during performances though.
Also Nicola, Idk if you see this comment or not but I really want to know a bit about singing and smoking. By smoking I mean one and a half packs of Marlboro red everyday so yeap... I want to know if my voice is changing to Janis Joplin/ Sia because of this or how can I recover my voice even after I quit it. I really gotta see if it will heal or not you know if it's worth quitting.
im a regular smoker, it changes your voice to james brown lol i started singing 2 years ago and over time, i realized my singing voice is gettin deeper and deeper. i dont think it makes my voice worse but surely, its more difficult now to apply the techniques. you are stuck within a certain range and style when you are a smoker. i might try to quit in future if i start singing professionally.
Sed Centric my voice is deeper due to smoking. My voice now cracks on high notes that i was once proud to hit. I'm quitting.. also good warm ups will help
I used to be such a good singer, I used to sing all the time, at churches(even though I'm not religious) and always had solos on school plays, I used to always be able to hit high notes say Adele could(when I was 12) after a year of not singing properly and not training my voice it went to shit, now I'm 16 and I'm trying to regain that voice back haha.
so many people insist on bringing Perrier into my studio and swear it helps them. I'm just the mix & mastering engineer so I have no idea if it really helps or not
I've read that lime I think or lemon tea Is good I'm not sure but not too much lemon and cranberry juice are good is that right or should I think again about drinking those I mainly drink cranberry juice even though I'm not sick but I do have allergies can you help me out with that
Wow! I drink green tea before singing everyday and have been noticing dry, cracky vocals lately. I've noticed orange juice is very harmful as well. I'm curious to see if cutting out green tea and switching to a peppermint tea will help!
Please madam, I am Emmanuel.. I really want to learn how to sing melodically with my own voice because I don't like the way it sounds 🤧, please teach me 🙏🙏🙏
What’s the 3rd drink on the best drink list? Can you spell it? The accent is making it hard for me to understand. Sounds like “Port” is it a wine or what? And does the alcohol in it dry your vocal cords? I must say I’m glad your addressing this it’s been on my mind!!
"The Lady In Red" I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight, I've never seen you shine so bright, I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance, They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance, And I have never seen that dress you're wearing, Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes, I have been blind; The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek, There's nobody here, it's just you and me, It's where I want to be, But I hardly know this beauty by my side, I'll never forget the way you look tonight; I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight, I've never seen you shine so bright, you were amazing, I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side, And when you turned to me and smiled, it took my breath away, And I have never had such a feeling, Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight; The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek, There's nobody here, it's just you and me, It's where I want to be, But I hardly know this beauty by my side, I'll never forget the way you look tonight; I never will forget the way you look tonight... The lady in red, the lady in red, The lady in red, my lady in red, I love you...❤️ No one's mentioned this very obvious fact often enough; you're a very kind, intelligent, generous, talented, sweet, funny and very lovely lady Nicola, also looking very lovely in red. It's definitely your color.😉 Excellent videos, enjoying all of them, thank you! BTW, I've always brought my own bottled water to gigs (trusted source) and drink them at room temperature, never cold, sometimes poured into a glass with a straw, adding a clean slice of lemon, and drinking regularly throughout the performance, whether thirsty or not. It's always worked best for me, compared to anything else I've tried/tested. A side note; the great power/pop/rock singer Robin Zander of Cheap Trick insists on always having a hot pot of coffee in his dressing room before their gigs - it's been in the band's technical rider for many years. Proving once again there's usually an exception to the 'rules', as coffee is known to dry out the throat. Stick to what works for you individually.
How many glasses of peppermint tea does it take to clear your throat?… i’ve already Drank two in a day and another one today and my voice sounds worse then before I started. What are your thoughts my good woman?
Actually, white wine is the prescribed drink for singers in old europe, or certain parts, at least. They will only serve the singer white wine, in certain European countries... Just saying... I have used this a jam booze and I do find that it is one of the best... I agree with milk, green tea, fizzy drinks as well, as I've sung on them all! I drink Throat Coat, by Traditional Medical... not cheap.. includes peppermint and licorice teas... Port wine? Red.. interesting... I will def try!
Timian tea got me through 1 month of intense musical practice as the lead and with a song like One by U2 (the Mary j. Binge version) sung at least 3 times a day at last.
So you guys don't have to watch 8 mins...
Worst

Rich Hlywka thanks
I have one worst drink
Very cold water it gives tension to your throat so it will be hard for you to control my voice coach told me that
warm water is one of the best drink as well
Arianna Faylona G
Arianna Faylona OMG YES COLD WATER IS THE WORST!! I have an audition tomorrow so I will avoid that thank you!
Arianna Faylona Thats also with running so if you drink cold water it strains your insides making you slow down while running
Regular room temperature is what I drink and the only drink I drink. That and coffee and that’s about it.
Hot water with honey and lemon is a massively good drink for singer
thanks!
Diana Summer :)
Shayne Smith thats true !!!
Shayne Smith what's mean drink port which port I know just port that have a boat hhhh.
Diana Summer but don't soo hot cuz it will burn your tongue x_x

The green tea really surprised me! Also, coffee is really bad for your voice too
Angelica Schuyler what's means drink port ?
Green tea has more caffeine than coffee but herbals and caffeine free teas are great
Angelica Schuyler e
Yea green tea makes my throat pretty dry, the tea has so many leaf particles that cling to your throat.
Right. I would’ve thought that the green tea would soothe or relieve your voice.
I guess these can also apply for Voice Acting.
can you do funny charachter voices? I have many from making fun of my family and friends, but it is really a Gift set up for me by Angels ")
+Russel Well not exactly "funny" voices, but I can indeed imitate some voice tones and accents.
oh, nice, you replied, cool.
I have a bunch of comedy voices lol, and 90 songs im trying to find a band! lol
unless you are looking to act out a phlegmy voice, then milk would be good!
Warm honey water!

Just drink hot water
You can drink dairy this is just a dumb myth there is literally no proof for this but if your throat does feel weird after drinking milk just eat pineapple
It doesn't really damage your vocal cords, just don't drink any of those bad drinks before a gig, your performance will be 👎
Lmao me too I love milk 😹😹😩😩
Omg I love your channel! I'm a classical singer wanting to change to jazz/blues and it was been super helpful.

I don't know about green tea...But black tea with Ginger is extreamly good for both health n voice as well....
What about turneric decoction with basil leaves, crushed ginger, pepper powder, cloves, etc ...this is a herbal decoction, need your opinion

You're absolutely right about green tea.
thank you so much it works you made me a better singer thank you❤
I think mead (honey wine) could be beneficial too.
What about ginger tea?? Your thoughts on that??
Hi there is room temperature/warm spearmint tea as opposed to peppermint tea good to drink before and while singing?
what about lemon honey tea is that good?
Are you allowed to eat chocolate?
Is it good or bad for your voice/throat?
Chocolate is def. A no. Unfortunately haha even if its non dairy
If having mucus issues Apple Cider Vinegar is excellent to use.
I agree!
so many people insist on bringing Perrier into my studio and swear it helps them. I'm just the mix & mastering engineer so I have no idea if it really helps or not

Does drinking lemon and vinegar destroy the voice ? And how to heal it ?
About the milk - does that include coconut or almond milk?

Michelle Eaglin Look up 'How to get rid of sore throats fast' on TH-cam. They help a lot.

What’s the 3rd drink on the best drink list? Can you spell it? The accent is making it hard for me to understand. Sounds like “Port” is it a wine or what? And does the alcohol in it dry your vocal cords? I must say I’m glad your addressing this it’s been on my mind!!
"The Lady In Red"
I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight,
I've never seen you shine so bright,
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance,
They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance,
And I have never seen that dress you're wearing,
Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes,
I have been blind;
The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek,
There's nobody here, it's just you and me,
It's where I want to be,
But I hardly know this beauty by my side,
I'll never forget the way you look tonight;
I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight,
I've never seen you shine so bright, you were amazing,
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side,
And when you turned to me and smiled, it took my breath away,
And I have never had such a feeling,
Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight;
The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek,
There's nobody here, it's just you and me,
It's where I want to be,
But I hardly know this beauty by my side,
I'll never forget the way you look tonight;
I never will forget the way you look tonight...
The lady in red, the lady in red,
The lady in red, my lady in red,
I love you...❤️
No one's mentioned this very obvious fact often enough; you're a very kind, intelligent, generous, talented, sweet, funny and very lovely lady Nicola, also looking very lovely in red.
It's definitely your color.😉
Excellent videos, enjoying all of them, thank you! BTW, I've always brought my own bottled water to gigs (trusted source) and drink them at room temperature, never cold, sometimes poured into a glass with a straw, adding a clean slice of lemon, and drinking regularly throughout the performance, whether thirsty or not. It's always worked best for me, compared
to anything else I've tried/tested.
A side note; the great power/pop/rock singer Robin Zander of Cheap Trick insists on always having a hot pot of coffee in his dressing room before their gigs - it's been in the band's technical rider for many years. Proving once again there's usually an exception to the 'rules', as coffee is known to dry out the throat. Stick to what works for you individually.
What.... you don't have any likes .
I wish you good luck and my wishes are with you wonderful person.
Thank you so much♡
How many glasses of peppermint tea does it take to clear your throat?… i’ve already Drank two in a day and another one today and my voice sounds worse then before I started. What are your thoughts my good woman?
Actually, white wine is the prescribed drink for singers in old europe, or certain parts, at least. They will only serve the singer white wine, in certain European countries... Just saying... I have used this a jam booze and I do find that it is one of the best... I agree with milk, green tea, fizzy drinks as well, as I've sung on them all!
I drink Throat Coat, by Traditional Medical... not cheap.. includes peppermint and licorice teas... Port wine? Red.. interesting... I will def try!
I mean to say I agree with YOU on milk, green tea, and carbonation.
yes liquor is proven and boosts confidence.. with confidence you can hit high notes
What is best for whistle notes?
does cold water has a bad affect to your voice??
Timian tea got me through 1 month of intense musical practice as the lead and with a song like One by U2 (the Mary j. Binge version) sung at least 3 times a day at last.
I drank a glass of soda a while ago but i why can i still sing well? Does it count?
