Question: If you are a group singer maybe you shouldn't eat beans or gassy foods for the sake of the backup singers & maybe the audience too! Those high notes could be volatile.

How do you cover up a burp while singing?

[robertantonnyc]

@tayfan2 was that a question? lol. not everyone gets gas from beans. Have you been talking to Tay? He asked me that final question. I generally don't cover it up; I just try to ease it out during a breath or something. lol. Things happen ; -- )

[tayfan2]

@robertantonnyc Ha ha. No a coincidence. Always wondered about stuff like that.

[pushupful]

cool

[robertantonnyc]

@pushupful Hi Buddy, How you been?

[Unclewich]

I'm always better off going in on an empty stomach. A couple sweet sweet teas (Southern sweet tea), maybe some gum, and I'm good...

I'm able to feel the song better that way...

[nataliemedia]

I don't really follow any rules like no eating or drinking. The only thing I find is that when I have allergies in the spring, if I drink milk I get phlegm. But usually I can eat, drink etc. and I'm fine. I think u are rite, it really is a very individual thing. U gotta try and see what works or doesn't for u personall! The biggest one I hear is don't eat dairy products before singing. But I never really have had much of an issue with them b4 singer. SANG BOY! Peace, Nat

[JonathanGardnerTV]

Omg, Chocolate - particularly chocolate ice-cream DEFINATELY has an effect on my voice!!! However, food in general - as well as excercise/physical activity - tends to help my voice a lot more than it does hinder it

[robertantonnyc]

@renderface06 not too what? lol. wow, they must be a very superstitious person.

[0girlwiththecamera0]

I've noticed that the thing that messes my voice up is drinking orange juice. Not sure why... But my mom says it's bad

[robertantonnyc]

@0girlwiththecamera0 maybe the citrus doesn't agree with your throat? I don't know anyone with that problem, but I'm sure you're not the only one.

[0girlwiththecamera0]

is it true that you shouldn't drink anything with caffine before you sing?

[robertantonnyc]

@0girlwiththecamera0 Is it? Have you tried it?

[johnson2nasty]

dont have sex before you sing jk maybe not might be true but nice video fam

[robertantonnyc]

@johnson2nasty It that like the boxer thing? You know they not supposed to have sex before they fight. I guess it relaxes the muscles too much.

[johnson2nasty]

@robertantonnyc i think so im not sure but it might help if you dont bc u would be very tired

[mrpregnant]

Yea, people always tell me to put a shirt on and change my hat.

[robertantonnyc]

@mrpregnant I like you with your shirt off ; -- )

[bobitsuki]

Brilliant commentary !!! May I add,,,that drinking hot green tea before singing is bad for the throat I was told,,,,how true this is,,,I'm not sure.

= taka

[robertantonnyc]

@bobitsuki now I've heard that hot tea of any kind is 'good' for the throat, so I don't know who said that. Ah well. I like tea before, during, and after.

[BrittanyYoungxDuckie]

I was born a stubborn child, and still am. Haha. I do things my way, or it just ain't gonna happen. So, the things people have said not to do before singing, I do it! Like eating, drinking milk and those sorts of things. Nothing really bothers me. As for a quirk, I cannot, absolutely cannot sing without having at least 10 minutes of chewing gum. Why? I haven't a clue, but I didn't have gum one day before I performed..and my voice was just awful, completely flat.

[robertantonnyc]

@BrittanyYoungxDuckie It's probably a mental thing by now, but my voice teacher used to tell me that Opera singers chew gum to loosen up there vocal chords. I guess it releases some tension in the throat.

[cracker27]

The Chorus teach at my school has his students have last lunch so it doesn't affect their singing. I usually don't have trouble eating then singing as long as I take a drink of something first. I would like to ask, are there any things that really shouldn't be done before singing?

[robertantonnyc]

@cracker27 I really don't know. Maybe don't hang yourself before singing? Every thing is different for every person's body.

[Magikarp664]

I ate some KFC before a show once... Never doing that again... :))

[robertantonnyc]

@Magikarp664 lol, what happened?

[Magikarp664]

@robertantonnyc During the show not much, but after... I barely made it home without puking... I gave up on KFC a while after that, and I feel much better!
