QUESTIONS
ABOUT YOUR PERSONAL HABITS
Page numbers refer to detailed explanations in the Rock &
Roll Singer Survival Manual
Q.
Will one drink hurt?
A. Definitely not (page 14).
Q. How does alcohol hurt your voice?
A. Alcohol dries your vocal folds which need to be wet so
the two don't mix well.
Q. Why do I sing better when I drink?
A. That's what you think. Actually it's true that liquor will
relax muscles and reduce inhibitions; the trouble has always
been discovering you drank too much, too late. There is an
easier way......(page 193).
Q. Can I drink after I sing?
A. That depends on your schedule. Remember the drying qualities
of alcohol won't take effect until you're asleep. When you
wake, you'll have to work to regain the voice.(page 16).
Q. Are cigarettes harmful to my larynx?
A. Yes (page 10).
Q. What about occasional smoking?
A. Less harmful because you allow for recovery. Your body
appreciates moderation.
Q. What's a good way to quit smoking?
A. (page 10).
Q. Is junk food bad for my voice?
A. Yes, it doesn't provide the lasting energy necessary to
sing. Sugar eats up vitamins and leaves you depleted after
the inital charge (page 27).
Q. Does eating on the run hurt my
voice?
A. Your body needs to focus energy to digest efficiently.
The stress of rushing around while cramming food creates mucus
because the system is over-taxed. If the dashboard and floor
of your car is littered with McDonald's bags, it's time to
re-think your schedule (page 24).
