Taking Care of Your Voice

Oh oh.... Ms. Rempel has lost her voice.... Thanks to all the students and staff who helped out today :)

Now that winter is here and we are going to be doing lots of singing in the next 3 weeks, here are some VERY important tips for us to do to help us keep our voices healthy and strong.

• Your singing voice is an extension of your speaking voice.  Whispering is harder on your voice than singing.  Sing more, talk less!
• Get a lot of sleep, drink plenty of water, and participate in exercise
• Going in and out of changing climates (cold/dry/warm) irritates vocal cords.  Wear a scarf!
• Don't yell or scream
• If you have to clear your throat, do so gently, not in a harsh way

 DID YOU KNOW THERE IS FOOD THAT IS GOOD and BAD FOR YOUR VOICES?
