How To Prepare Your Voice For Recording
-
Get lots of rest
-
Make sure to drink lots of water (water should be room temperature, not cold)
-
Herbal tea is good if you need something hot. Try not to make it too hot
-
If your throat feels really dry when you wake, gargle with a light salt-water solution
-
Try not to gargle with mouthwash that contains alcohol. Alcohol dries out your nasal passages
-
Take deep breaths in the shower to moisten your breathing passages
-
Avoid acidic juices like orange juice or any other citrus items
-
Avoid too much sugar. It increases mucus production
-
Avoid dairy products a few hours before recording. They also increase mucus production
