Doctor's advice for vocalists and non-vocalists.
1.Inhalations- there is no better direct effect on the ligaments other than aerosol (“inhalation”) methods. And therefore, if they are inflamed (say, laryngitis, etc.), then it is better to do inhalations - pour boiling water into a bowl or wide cup, add 3-4 drops essential oil eucalyptus or sage. Cover yourself with a towel and breathe, slowly inhale through your mouth and calmly exhale through your nose.
2.Falimints and other lozenges for the throat can help with sore throat. This is somewhat different (the throat has little effect on the voice, unless the process is started and the infection goes down to the ligaments), then it is better again to use some kind of aerosol (Cameton, Yox) and take a tablet of something anti-inflammatory (paracetamol, Coldrex etc.). If you don't like pills, it's never a bad idea to brew tea from medicinal herbs: chamomile, sage, eucalyptus. Again, they are just as powerful anti-inflammatories as the pills.
3.Lugol. Having practiced working in an ambulance, I can say the right remedy for a sore throat, wheezing, wheezing, or tickling in the throat area, use Lugol's solution (sold very cheaply at pharmacies). Wrap a piece of cotton wool on a stick, but so that it does not fly off, dip it in Lugol’s solution and lubricate the throat (that is, the tonsils and the back wall of the pharynx (if possible, as it happens) and where it hurts.
4.Drink. In general, for any ailment (colds, etc.), especially when there are a lot of performances and stress in a row, I advise you to drink plenty of liquid (and tea, coffee and juices do not count), you need mineral water, just water or a hot drink (herbs, fruit drinks in a thermos, etc.) and be sure to get enough sleep.
5.Hot wine or mulled wine- warms up the ligaments, but this is more like an emergency rather than a therapeutic measure, and it’s better not to get carried away.
6.Diazolin belongs to antiallergic drugs, it relieves swelling from inflamed areas (the same throat, ligaments, etc.), but has a sedative effect, so only at night, otherwise you will not be able to really get ready to sing, not because of the throat and ligaments, but from the fact that consciousness is dulled. and you will simply want to sleep. I honestly advise that if you are not allergic to anything, then it is better not to get carried away with it. Removes phlegm from the throat, coughs it up in chunks!

Exercises for vocal folds
Attention! These exercises are designed to develop correct sound production, promote the resorption of singing nodules, and restore the closure of ligaments.
So, the exercises should be performed for two weeks.
In the first three days, we perform the following exercises EVERY HOUR (of course, the exercises do not apply to the night!):
1. We imagined that we were gargling, only we didn’t throw our heads up, but slowly turned from left to right, making the sounds of “gargling” until we had enough breath.
2. Take deep breaths with your mouth, slowly exhaling, hum, while at the same time lightly tapping index fingers along the nostrils.
3. The same as the second exercise, only instead of tapping your nostrils with your fingers, we tap on the nasolabial (facial) wrinkles.
After three days, we add the following to these exercises, also doing them every hour:
4. Lightly tap your fingers on your upper lip, while saying “would-would-would-would-would-would” until there was enough breath.
5. Lightly tap your finger on your lower lip, saying “you-you-you-you-you” or “ze-ze-ze-ze”.
6. Take deep breaths through your mouth. We knock on the chest with our fist, from one shoulder to the other, chanting “A-a-a-a-O-o-o-o-U-u-u-u.” Let's not rush, save our breath.
After three to four days, add the following to these exercises, performing all exercises every TWO HOURS:
7. Taking breath with your mouth, we pronounce “MAM”, at the end we do not drop the consonant “eM”, but continue, exhaling through our nose, humming, simultaneously tapping our fingers on both nostrils until the supply of breath runs out. We took three small sips of water. Then we say “Mom” again and slowly turn our head from the “straight to the right” position, tapping the left nostril with the finger of our left hand. Again we took three SMALL sips of water. (It’s important to drink in small sips, then they work vocal cords!). And the third stage of the exercise is “straight to left”, tapping your right nostril with your finger. We drank water again. It is good to replace water with herbal tincture (calendula, chamomile, etc.). And don’t forget to take a deep breath with your mouth before each syllable. We do the same exercise for the syllables “Mom”, “Mum”, “Mim”, “Mym”, “Ma’am”.
After two days, we change the syllable “Mom” to “Bam” (hence “Bam”, “Bom”, “Boom”, “Bim”, etc.), after another two days to “Zam” and after another two days to "Zham".
Next stage:
1.Chromatic chants are very useful. But it’s too early to start singing. We hum the chant (c,#c,d,#d,e,f,#f,g and back - g,#f,f,e,#d,d,#c,c) in bursts while exhaling, highlighting each note in moving pace. The range is not large, first - a fifth (gradually increasing) in a low register with a comfortable tessitura.
2. The best song for the treatment and prevention of vocal cords “Moscow Evenings”. We take deep breaths through our mouths, then slowly, turning our heads from left to right, we hum into our nose the well-known tune “Not even a rustle is heard in the garden,” while tapping the left nostril with the index finger of our left hand. Accordingly, in the other direction: we turn our heads from right to left, with our fingers right hand tap on the right nostril. We raise it by a semitone and hum again. Another semitone, etc.
Finally, we begin to sing exclusively in staccato:
1. Don’t rush to vote! We won't sing any songs yet. We begin the well-known chromatic chant. We increase the size of the chant to an octave (in no case do we strain the ligaments!) After humming the chant, we sing it with open mouth, to "A! A! A!" in the same spirit as we mooed: before each note we take a breath, the vocal delivery is active.
2. Based on the sounds of the triad, we perform staccato on the syllables “Ma-mi-mo-mi-ma”, then raise it by a semitone, etc.
3.On one note we perform the syllables “Gra-gra-gri-gro-gru”, then “Da-de-di-do-du”, etc.
4. Alternating the syllables “Le” and “la” is very useful. In staccato, in one breath, we sing on the syllable “le” in a row the notes of the range of fifths (c, d, e, f, g), quickly take a breath and continue on the syllable “A” (g, a, h, c, d) and down first in a similar way (first on “A” a fifth down, then repeating on the note “g” we move to “le”).
And only when you are convinced that hoarseness does not appear, do we carefully switch to legato. At first, these are short chants, chants (you can use children's songs), then, gradually increasing the load, we move on to songs. Don’t forget to do very useful exercise No. 1 (gargling) before each lesson, and start chanting with your mouth closed. Much attention should be paid to breathing.
There are also a number of exercises to develop singing breathing:
1. At a distance of 10 cm, blow on a lit candle so that the flame tilts slightly, but does not go out.
2. Remembering dogs in the heat. Also, open your mouth, stick out your tongue, and breathe with your stomach.
Useful tips for vocalists.
Almost all vocalists (including our show stars) creative path are faced with the problem of losing their voice. This happens for a number of reasons:
-incorrect method of sound production (as a rule, no one teaches our vocalists how to properly pitch their voices)
- overstrain of the vocal apparatus
-work of the vocal apparatus during acute respiratory infections, sore throat, tonsillitis and other diseases.
- less often - under the influence viral diseases or functional.
Sooner or later, any person involved in vocals has a question: am I handling my instrument correctly? Unfortunately, this question often arises when something is already wrong: the voice does not sound, hoarse or wheeze, and so on. Meanwhile, this question is very important, because the vocalist has one instrument, and it is given to him for life. Therefore, let's try to figure out which of our actions harm our voice and which are useful for it.
First of all, let's note the obvious thing - vocal lessons should be beneficial. If after the lesson you cannot even speak, and the next day you are wheezing, then you should seriously think about what you are doing wrong, naturally, after going to the phoniatrician. It is harmful to sing for many hours in a row, as well as to “try” the extreme upper and lower notes many times in a row.
So, if your vocal lessons are successful, you see, or rather feel, that your voice is developing. You sing better, someone from the outside notices this, your range is developing, you can sing those works that were previously impossible for you. In short, you are singing correctly. It is also important WHAT you sing, because you need to sing only works that are suitable for your voice type. So, if you sing correctly, you can sing for a long time.
But since the singer carries his instrument within himself, and wears it constantly, this instrument is influenced by the environment and habits of the singer himself. The most obvious bad habit is smoking. A singer who smokes is simply a suicide... Someone will say: even Caruso smoked! Well, yes, he smoked, but you know what his last days life? Do you know that he has had several ligament surgeries? It’s not a fact that it’s because of smoking, but it’s not the best example. Unfortunately, now you can meet a smoking vocalist at every step, and these are not accomplished singers, but students of conservatories and music colleges (among accomplished singers there are also plenty of smokers)! It is well known how harmful this habit is, including for the voice. Therefore, avoid this addiction, it will not add anything good to your life.
To continue the conversation about what is harmful and beneficial for a vocalist, let us remember the fact that each person is unique and has his own incomparable body structure. This seems obvious, but just think about it: your larynx and the entire singing apparatus are not identical in the entire world! This is important, first of all, for mastering vocal technique. But now about something else. If you are so unique, then you must “adapt” to your device. What does it mean? Sometimes singers singing in a stuffy room begin to lose their voice, breaking a little; at the same time, in an interview, singer José Carreras admitted that he likes his house to be very hot, even stuffy, because it makes his voice sound better. Luciano Pavarotti preferred to hold a couple of ice cubes in his mouth before singing. Others get a sore throat from the cold. Some people need to drink water with lemon before singing; for others, lemon dries out their throats. You can give endless examples. In a word, through trial and error, determine what your throat reacts to positively and what negatively. This will make your life much easier.
But there are also general rules that are fair to everyone. We talked about smoking. Now about the food. If you know in general outline, then you'll wonder what food has to do with it. After all, during swallowing, the epiglottis closes the entrance to the windpipe, where the ligaments are located. But there is a mucous membrane. Its condition directly affects the sound. A healthy mucous membrane should be even, smooth, and moisturized. When you have a cold, your mucous membranes are inflamed, red and irritated, therefore: IF YOU HAVE A COLD, YOU CAN ' T SING! If you eat something very spicy, it will again irritate your throat. Ramon Vargas (tenor) lamented in an interview that despite being Mexican, he tries not to eat traditional Mexican food, which is known to be very spicy, in order to keep his voice fresh and sounding good. The same applies to nuts, seeds, and various crumbly cookies. It is especially harmful to eat them before vocals, as small particles of such food will irritate your throat. Also, keep an eye on the temperature of your food. Of course, you don’t need to do like one tenor in the 19th century, carrying a thermometer with him everywhere and dipping it into soup or a cup of tea. But if you think about it, it makes sense... In any case, your food should not be scalding hot. And experiment with ice cream yourself, it’s possible, but not for everyone. The same applies to sweets, it often makes your throat stick, which prevents you from singing normally. Strongly acidic foods are also harmful. As for the amount of food, it is better not to eat at least an hour before vocals, so that the food does not put pressure on the diaphragm. On the other hand, you shouldn’t sing on an empty stomach either; you need to get your strength from somewhere! It is optimal to eat an hour and a half before class.
Now a few words for the ladies. It would be useful to recall that during certain days You can’t sing, it’s not even recommended to speak loudly. How many days to observe a voice fast depends on your cycle, for some 3 days are enough, for others even 5-6, everything is individual. And a few words 18+. Just 7 years ago, in books by foreign authors, one could read about the harmful effects of oral contraceptives on a singer’s voice. Current literature states that modern means contraception does not affect the voice. As they say, trust, but verify, be vigilant.
This applies to everyone: shouting is harmful. It’s also harmful to sing unsung, especially if you are a beginner vocalist and have not yet fully mastered the singing technique. Why else can the voice die? From severe stress. If a person is experiencing some severe shock, his voice can become hoarse. It turns out that the cords seem to be in order, but there is no voice. We cannot protect ourselves from all stress, anything happens in life, but we can create for ourselves the maximum comfortable conditions life and work we are able to. In a word, watch yourself and adapt to yourself and to environment, think about what you are doing and how.
In contact with
Nutrition plays a big role in the life and work of a vocalist. Sometimes a hoarse sounding voice does not appear due to throat diseases, but due to poor nutrition. The problem concerns not only the singer's main meal, but also the consumption of certain foods before singing.
There is an opinion that vocalists are only prohibited from consuming seeds, as it is harmful to the voice, and they need to drink before singing raw eggs. In fact, the list of foods that vocalists should not eat is much wider than what vocal teachers say. Let's take a closer look at this issue, and also give the top 5 most useful and harmful products for the voice.
How does food affect your voice?
Any food has a different effect on the elasticity of the mucous membranes of the throat and larynx. Some promote better stretching of tissues, due to which the hoarse coloration of the voice can disappear, others increase the unpleasant sensation while singing. Therefore, in one case, food may be beneficial for the vocalist, in another - harmful.
Not only the color of the voice, its pleasant sound and ease of singing, but also the removal of some clamps will depend on it. After all, when there is discomfort in the throat, singing becomes difficult and very uncomfortable. Therefore, all products can be divided into useful for the vocalist, which contribute to the elasticity of soft tissues, and harmful.
Great importance has the amount of food. If the diet is unbalanced and irrational, then the voice may lose strength. Therefore, diets, especially fasting, eating less food, and avoiding fat can weaken the strength of the voice and make it dull and inexpressive.
A small amount of food can deprive your voice of beauty, strength and reduce its range, so you should not go on a diet before an important performance. You will sing much worse than before, as your voice will sound weak and inexpressive. But you shouldn’t eat too much, especially before singing.
Heavy meals can put pressure on the diaphragm and lead to weakness, difficulty singing, and a shortened vocal range. On a full stomach, you will sing heavily and with great effort, since there will be no elasticity in soft tissues larynx. That's why you need to eat an hour before singing so that there is support for sound, but at the same time the stomach should not be overloaded.
How does food affect your voice in general? It depends on what exactly you ate on the day of singing. Experts advise eating some solid food, such as mashed potatoes, porridge or a sweet baked pie, an hour before the performance. Then you will not feel hungry and your voice will acquire the necessary dense breathing support.
Long-term consumption of certain foods also affects your voice. They can cause irritation of the mucous membrane of the throat, cause wheezing, coughing and an unpleasant sensation, as if a speck or foreign body had entered the larynx. This is how food affects your voice, more precisely harmful products, which many, without knowing it, systematically use.
First of all, these include:
- Seeds, peanuts, seasoned crackers and salted nuts. They contain a lot of fat and salt, as well as irritating additives, so if they are consumed regularly, the mucous membranes may lose their elasticity. The voice becomes hoarse, its overtone color decreases, and singing becomes uncomfortable. There may be a tingling sensation, so even if you eat these foods on a day other than singing day, they may be harmful to you. The vocalist should avoid them altogether.
- Spicy ketchups, mustard, horseradish and seasonings. They can be added to food only in small quantities and in no case should they be consumed 6 hours before singing. All of them not only irritate the throat, but also contribute to excess mucus production, which makes singing difficult and can even provoke a cough.
- Fatty fried meats, potatoes and chips, as well as spicy fast food. Fat makes the vocal cords less elastic, which can lead to coughing and difficulty singing, especially at races and in areas where there are long notes. Any fatty foods should be eaten in morning time a few hours before singing, if we are talking about meat and cutlets, and chips should be completely excluded from the vocalist’s diet. Also, you should not add a lot of meat to salads.
- Ice drinks such as Cola, Fanta or Sprite. They can cause a shocking reaction in the mucous membrane and lead to hoarseness of the voice. Sometimes he may disappear completely for a while.
Alcoholic drinks, primarily strong ones. For the voice, the most harmful of them are beer, cognac, vodka and strong tonics, especially with ice. Just like any drinks with ice, they can burn the mucous membranes with cold and even lead to temporary loss of voice, and even to a sore throat.
5 useful products for your voice
They not only help you sing well, but will also help you restore your voice faster in certain cases.
These include the following foods and drinks:
- Warm sweet black tea. An excellent remedy for restoring the elasticity of mucous membranes and treating ligaments. For the best effect, it should not be hot, but warm.
- Low-fat milk at room temperature. You need to drink it in small sips, slowly, to restore your voice. It softly coats the throat and makes the voice stronger.
- Raw eggs. They should not be drunk before singing, as many vocalists advise, although their regular use contributes to the richness and softness of the voice. This remedy perfectly restores the vocalist’s strength and also softens the throat, promoting soft and beautiful singing. But you only need to eat tested eggs bought at the market so as not to get infected dangerous infection. It is enough to drink eggs once a week for a beautiful and clear voice.
- Butter. Qualitative butter You can add it to milk or simply suck it to make singing more comfortable. But this is usually done an hour before singing and washed down with still water.
- Plain water at room temperature. Sometimes it's the best remedy in order to quickly restore your voice. Just drink it slowly, in small sips.
Vocalist’s diet – what’s healthy on a daily basis?
- Start your morning with a hearty breakfast. If you sing during the day or evening, you should eat more heavily in the morning than in the afternoon to create respiratory support for your voice. You can eat meat, porridge or salads.
- During the day, it is recommended to eat a hearty meal, but without additives, especially spicy ones that irritate the throat. This will create good respiratory support for the voice.
- The vocalist's diet must include lean meat, but they consume it 3 hours before the start of singing.
- Vocalists include fish and caviar on the menu at least 2 times a week. They contain fats that are beneficial for the general condition of the body and vocal cords.
- Seafood can be eaten in unlimited quantities. Of course, you shouldn’t consume huge portions before singing, but they are a source of lean protein, which in some cases can replace meat. Unlike cutlets and lard, they cannot negatively affect the voice.
- Candies, chocolate, cakes and ice cream can be eaten no earlier than an hour after singing. Some children's choir directors give the choir members a piece of sugar before singing. This should not be done, as sweets can harm the beautiful and free sound of your voice.
If you want to make your figure beautiful, eat right and exercise. If you want to make your voice beautiful, eat right and... sing! Even if an elephant stepped on your ear. This is the opinion of Zhanna Seropyan, the author of a unique method of voice production and founder of the “Easy to Sing” vocal school. Zhanna assures that with the help of a special diet you can not only improve your health, but also significantly improve your vocal abilities.
Zhanna, how does singing affect your appearance?
When singing, only a fifth of the sound waves go outward, the rest is directed inward. These vibrations stimulate the functioning of the abdominal organs and contribute to a kind of massage of the liver and intestines, and train the diaphragm. As a result, the process of digestion and elimination of toxins is accelerated, and the process of ventilation of the lungs improves. In addition, a singing person actively works the muscles of the face and neck, which increases skin tone and maintains the oval of the face. Even in adulthood, artists often look younger than their peers.
So if you sing every day, you will live longer?
Exactly. The main thing that beginner vocalists are taught is proper breathing and self-control. This is why there are so many long-lived opera performers. So if you want to look and feel younger, sing! And right from the morning. The Japanese invented karaoke to combat stress in this way. And it works. After all, when a person sings, his brain produces endorphins, called joy hormones. Singing along to the radio or TV in the morning will set you up for a positive day.
Usually, the diet of singers is structured so as not to harm the vocal cords. The first product that should be excluded is alcohol in any form. Whatever they say about liberation, removing clamps and other things, strong drinks have a detrimental effect on the voice. It's all about the alcohol they contain. Try rubbing your hands with an alcohol-based product and you will immediately feel how dry your skin has become. The same thing happens with ligaments. When you drink alcohol, they become denser and thicker, and your voice becomes rougher.
Can also cause harm bulk products, crackers, seeds, nuts. These are real “glass shards” for your throat. They scratch the larynx, and their particles remain on the vocal cords. As a result, the elasticity of soft tissues decreases, the voice becomes hoarse, and loses volume and density. Instead of a soft pouring sound, you only feel the urge to clear your throat or drink water.
Third - chocolate and candy. They say that if you eat a lot of sweets, your butt will stick together. I assure you, this is relevant not only for this part of the body. Chocolate causes the ligaments to stick together and the sound is not as clear. The voice becomes less expressive and rich. Therefore, you should eat sweets only after the performance, and then no earlier than an hour later.
Sweet drinks– it’s also impossible. Chemical elements and harmful dyes burn the vocal cords, and sweets dry and stick them together. If ice is added to a glass of a drink, it has a shocking effect on the throat, which leads to soreness, increased phlegm production, and sometimes to complete loss of voice.
Coffee Tea- prohibited. It is difficult for us to imagine life without them, but, alas, these drinks dry out the throat and do not allow us to sing in a high, clear voice. Tea, among other things, has astringent properties, which also does not help full-time work ligaments
1) Cereals: rice, buckwheat and others
They remove harmful substances from the body and contain a large number of useful substances both for the whole body and for the voice. Another plus is that porridge is easy to digest, so it avoids heaviness in the stomach and other unpleasant consequences.
2) Broccoli
This vegetable is very rich in vitamin C, but unlike citrus fruits, it does not disturb the acidity of the mucous membrane. Vitamin C helps increase the elasticity of soft tissues and helps with the production of canithin, a substance that gives a boost of energy, which is especially useful before a long performance.
3) Blueberries and other berries
Antioxidants contained in blueberries improve the condition of the vocal cords, help maintain body tone, and effectively fight inflammation. Other berries will also work. For example, blackberries, olives, blue grapes.
4) Watermelon
This product is useful for those who cannot bring themselves to drink enough water per day. As you know, dry throat is the main enemy of a clear voice. In addition, the dietary fiber contained in watermelon ensures quick saturation, the stomach becomes full, but not overcrowded, so it is very easy to speak or sing.
5) Green apples
They are valuable, first of all, due to the presence of iron and vitamin C. This “bundle” maintains the stability of the immune system, therefore the risk of colds is reduced, and the voice does not become hoarse from the slightest drafts and dampness. Malic acid makes vocals clearer and more sonorous.

A runny nose makes the voice muffled, coughing irritates the larynx, and phlegm flowing into it causes inflammation. If the voice is hoarse, then the best thing for it is silence: constant irritation of the mucous membrane of the larynx increases inflammation and does not allow the ligaments to recover. Therefore, phoniatrists, in many cases when patients have problems with their voice, prescribe silence as a treatment regimen.
If this is not possible, you should try to reduce the vocal load as much as possible. Do not speak in a whisper: this forces the vocal cords to work with great effort. You just need to speak more quietly and calmly, and yet, less and less often.
Try to treat your throat throughout the day. Even if you go to work, take a bottle with you disinfectant solution, anti-inflammatory tablets and lozenges. Ideal if...

Why do they lose their voice?
The main culprit is inflammation of the mucous membrane of the larynx, or laryngitis. The vocal cords increase in volume and the sound disappears or loses quality. You can reach such a life in different ways.
All organs of the ear-nose-throat system are involved in the formation of sound, and if something doesn’t go well here, there will be problems with the voice. During a cold, sore throat, tonsillitis or bronchitis, the laryngeal mucosa...

As a rule, the disease begins with inflammation of the laryngeal mucosa.
After a few days, the process moves into the nasopharynx. In some cases, due to swelling of the ligaments, the patient's respiratory gap is blocked, which can cause suffocation. Shortness of breath is a characteristic symptom of swelling of the laryngeal mucosa. When this symptom appears, the patient must be hospitalized.
Causes
The development of laryngitis is often influenced by other diseases and infections:
Bronchitis; angina; measles; pneumonia; whooping cough; rhinitis; influenza viruses; scarlet fever.
Due to these diseases, the larynx and ligament become inflamed. However, inflammation of the throat ligaments also occurs for other reasons. The disease appears due to hypothermia, regular consumption of alcohol, smoking, heavy stress on the ligaments (screaming, singing, etc.), allergic reactions, exposure to gas, dust, etc.

Also, you should not strain your voice during such a period; attempts to pronounce words even in a whisper also cause no less strain on the vocal cords. Since inflammation of the ligaments rarely occurs on its own and is mainly associated with an infectious or respiratory disease, the first stage of its treatment will be the elimination of all irritating factors.
Treatment can be supplemented by applying Apizatron ointment to the neck area and wrapping the neck with a woolen scarf. Lungwort. The amazing healing properties of lungwort have been known for a long time, in folk medicine The plant is used to treat lung diseases. You can eat the berries and gargle with the infusion, while throwing back your head and pronouncing the sounds AI, AI. 4-5 such procedures per day are enough.

Sometimes there are cases when it is necessary good job ligaments (during singing, lecturing and announcer activities). At such moments, you need to consider what to eat, and what is better to deny yourself. However, it is worth noting that food itself does not affect the functioning of the ligaments, however chemical elements, the hardness of food affects directly as it passes through the throat into the stomach. Therefore, everything that will be written is on the list only because there is something “irritating to the ligaments” in these products.
It’s easier to start with what is best not to use:
Carbonated water (any: be it mineral water or a sweet drink) Seeds (scratch the throat) Nuts (similar reason) Crackers, chips (same) Chocolate (envelops the ligaments, prevents good sound). If you really want it, then you can only have a bitter okolad, with a high percentage of cocoa content. Honey in pure form(also envelops) “Sugary sweets”, such as candies, toffees, caramel, and so on (the reason is the same as for chocolate) Freshly squeezed...
