vocal hygiene practices

Vocal hygiene involves habits that protect and maintain your voice health. This includes staying well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water, avoiding excessive yelling or whispering, and minimizing throat clearing. It’s also important to rest your voice when sore or tired and avoid smoking or exposure to irritants. Managing reflux, practicing good breathing techniques, and avoiding excessive caffeine or alcohol can help prevent strain. Regularly warming up your voice before use and using proper speaking techniques can reduce stress on your vocal cords. These practices help keep your voice clear, healthy, and less prone to strain or damage.
