Episode #4: How To Make It Through The Cold & Flu Season When You're A Singer
It's not easy when your body is your instrument. Other musicians get sick too, but their instruments don't wheeze or get clogged up with mucus when attacked by an infection.
In this podcast episode, you'll learn how to stay healthy during the cold and flu season, what to do when you're sick, and how to decide when it's time to cancel a performance.
“Learn to listen to your body. It’s your most precious resource. Give it the love and support it deserves. Get professional help and advice if you need it. Then, when you walk on stage, you’ll be able to trust that it will be there for you, giving voice to all that you are. ”
Here's a simple exercise you can use to regain vocal cord flexibility after you’ve been sick or trashed your voice from overuse or talking. It’s simple and safe to use no matter what kind of shape your voice is in.
