hey fellow vocalists,
Ive been reading a few books recently (and also alot of people say) that if you have to do a performance then drink plenty of water during the day and keep warm and stuff.
So on the weekend i had my first ever 'Payed gig' (yeeeha) and i made sure i drank heaps of water (maybe too much) and i also kept my voice warmed up all day.
I think it was the wrong option. I had been singing too much all day and although my vocal chords should have been nice and moist because of all the liquids i'd drank, it seemed i was a tad raw.
It went pretty well mind you, but i wasnt happy with the way my voice was performing.
next time im gonna try it MY WAY and see if its better.
My question is, is there a RIGHT way to warm up and stay 'lubricated', or should i just do what works for me??
What pre- gig habits do you all have?????
