Sing Wet
No, I don’t mean in the shower! “Sing
wet” is something voice teachers have been telling students for a long
time, and it refers to how much water you drink. I know we are
nagged to death about the amount of water we drink daily, but it really
makes a difference to your singing voice to be hydrated enough.
I’ve heard recommendations from anywhere between two quarts to one
ounce per pound of body weight daily. Since most Americans are
chronically dehydrated, many people may not know what it feels like to
be properly hydrated. Here is what most people DO notice:
when you get a cold or contract any other kind of infectious critters,
usually the first place symptoms are felt is the throat. This has
many different reasons, but it is also an indication of how delicate
and fragile this area of the body is. Take care of it best by
drinking lots of water! Generally, the more hydrated you are, the
healthier you are, and all of that makes for better singing. |
