Singers BEWARE of the Super Bowl!!!

Just a quick reminder to all my football fans out there. If you are interested in singing, then you need to think about protecting your voice. That means all the time, even during your favorite Super Bowl party. And if by any chance you actually have tickets to the event, amazing, but you are in triple vocal danger from the average party goer.

In general if you are at a super bowl party, just watch the screaming. Make sure you are supporting your voice at all times from your diaphragm even during the craziest play.

Yelling or talking over a crowd to be heard is really one of the worst things you can do for your voice. It completely knocks your voice out of wack and swells your chords. Don’t try and yell over people to be heard. Either wait for a quiet moment to speak, or speak at a normal volume closer to someone, instead of across the room. Also, seriously, why not warm up your voice, www.voicelessonstogo.com, before you go so that you are in a good spot vocally when you get there.

This advice is even more important if you have a singing gig coming up. Your voice will recover from the event within a few days, but if you have some big singing to do afterwards, you could start the beginings of a bad problem. If your chords are swollen and you sing on them you will use your throat muscles more than normally and create more swelling, maybe even vocal noduals. So be careful.

Support with your voice when you show your team support singers!
