Singers who are hypochondriacs will always find reasons why they "don't sound good today". If you are nervous because you think you did something wrong, then it WILL affect you. Singing is mental, very mental! So be self aware of what makes you feel good. I love spicy food, but I don't eat it before singing simply because it gives me the burps! So be well rehearsed, well rested, and well fed! Done!
@ovidiubobaila The diaphragm can't push the viscera down all the way and make enough room for the lungs to naturally expand. There is a difference between a heavy meal and too much food. one gives you energy(meat, sauce, carbs), the other just over stuffs you.
@ovidiubobaila I dont think she meant it before the performance... And she is absolutely right! I never liked if someone is so missish. Before the performance and in this day is natural that you dont eat some type of food, or too much. And don't drink alcohol :-) But in your everyday life I dont think it deytroys everyone's voice. But it does not mean you eat oe drink too much from spicy foods. Btw a lot of opera singers smoke...And they are good. (i dont agree with this habit )
@ovidiubobaila what??? she is a very good opera singer and her mind is free and is out of all the stupid rules and poses of the world of the classical music!... Enjoy your life! Great Anna!!!!
anything with dairy in it is bad soon before singing. it coats your vocal chords and sits in a little pocket above your false folds. acidic foods like lemons and oranges are good for you but try and avoid things with high levels of sugar in them.
This is a huge problem for me! I think I psyche myself out though...then I usually don't eat and end up feeling sick ha. Thank you Anna! You're my favorite...I"ll be singing at my university in two weeks for a competition and I'm emulating your performances of Quando Men Vo :)
[II] and warm but then they can dry your throat. Fizzy drinks can give you problems with breathing and emission because you have surplus air. Garlic and onion can cause same problems of lemon and alcohol ...
So, a little bit of attention to what you eat is necessary, because these things CAN happen!
[I] I do not agree that eating certain types of food is something "wrong in your brain".
There are certain kinds of food that cause chemical reactions which are not good for the voice: for example acid food (lemons, tomatoes, oranges) can cause acidity, as well as milk: drinking too much milk can cause acidity in the blood and to re-allign the PH the calcium can be taken from the bones, causing lack of calcium in the bones. Furthermore, alcohol and chocolate give you a first sense of pleasure
но просто, я сама пою, и мне очень сложно во первых кушать из-за нерв, а во вторых есле я покушаю до пения, мне ведь сложно петь из-за тяжолой еды, так что помойму надо мало кушать перед представлением/пением?
Most singers have rituals, and many are neurotic ( I was for many years) which leads to more problems that just acting normal the day of a show. It is true that food can affect your voice, but so does : sleep, humid air, dry air, pollen, sore muscles, etc. A singer must accept one fact: You will never be 100% healthy the day of a show, so mentally, you need to rise above that. You need to find the diet that works for you (aside from voice, you don't want to be running to the bathroom either).
mi mas grande respeto para usted la admiro mucho y me fascina su formidable y extraordinaria voz :) me fascina cuando canta la opera llamada " quando men vo " con esa opera la conocí y hasta a hora no puedo dejar de escuchar su bella voz :)
yo nunca he ido a clases de opera pero algunos maestros de ese genero me dicen que soy Tenor aunque la verdad no lo se, quisiera que me diera consejos para poder llegar a esas notas altas :) por su atención y tiempo gracias :)
I love Anna's videos and I think what she is doing, is really inspiring specillay to young singers like me. However I have to say that in this case It depends on the person,because some singers have acid reflex and if they eat somthing that can cause acid reflex on the day of the show it will affect their vocal chords. But it is just in the case of people that have a disease like that. If not, I completely agree with anna: what can affect you is in your brain, not in the food.
a drink any singer should avoid on the day of a performance: any kind of carbonated drink. ;) i remember last season during a met broadcast of la boheme anna netrebko said that she had been eating french fries and chicken during the rehearsal the day before. she definitely eats whatever she wants!
She's a sweetheart! Opera is definitely in need of a reform and she is very much like the revolutionary that does it. With her instantly identifiable timbre, she has accomplished this talk and her influence is very much felt.
@beersibley Do you mean simply performing and selling tickets? If so, I'd like to remind you of Renee Fleming, Kiri TeKanawa, Price and Horne, Joan Sutherland. All of these women, from the 60s onward to today sold or sell enormous numbers of tickets. How is what Netrebko is doing - in performing or singing - different? I think she's a terrific performer, but how is she different?
I LOVE YOU ANNA!!!!!! You are the one an only opera sing I truely love an enjoy your performance. When I first seen you I feel in love with opera. I go an see you every time you perform at the MET.
Ah...but if you are allergic to dairy products, and you get a lot of mucous in your sinuses or lungs that can be a problem.

It's true, if you can sing you can sing
But if you can sing only lack of sleep and sickness would affect the voice
Not what you eat
