Vocal Coach Jaime Vendera's Vocal Health Series Part 3 Throat Care

[freemaaaaaaa]

one problem with tea, as I learned from a professional voice doctor from UMPC, is that it contains Caffeine, and caffeine dries the vocal cords. Also they said that product doesn't have any real effect except that its warm, and warm things in generally helps. Just saying

[venderaj]

I wasn't talking about caffeinated tea. I was referring to Throat Coat tea. Caffeine is a diuretic which dries out the voice, which I thoroughly explain in my book Raise Your Voice;)

my vocals are pretty much fried at the moment with flu, so I am unable to talk:( I have been watching your videos for tips and I like the sound of the slippery elm lozenges, I will have to search for them in the uk, we have these lozenges called Zubes here that are pretty good.

I had a allergy test done and I am allergic to lemon and caramel, so it's hard to find something without lemon. P.s thanks for the videos.

Good singing doesn't need any help like this. Sure drink plenty of water - it's the water vapour on your toungue and in your throat that does the work of soothing the vocal chords.

If you're in a hurry, just suck some water into your mouth, pout, lean over (so the water stays by your lips) and inhale through your mouth. This creates a very fine mist that will reach your chords.

I don't understand. How can anything you eat or drink affect the larynx? It goes now where near it! If it did, you'd know, because you'd be caughing like something had gone down the wrong hole, and we all know how that feels!

The vocal cords are right where the "air tube" and "food tube" meet. So yes, anything you eat or drink does come into contact with the vocal folds.
