It's
not a matter of IF it is going to happen...it is
a matter of WHEN. If you are a singer you know
you are going to experience days when you feel less than ready to
belt out the big one. Whether it is because you have been singing
every night and your voice is tired or because you have been shaking
too many hands and catch that unexpected virus. Regardless, there
are products designed for singers that can make the gig go a lot
easier. Don't wait until the day before and pay an astromical amount
for overnight shipping, keep your gig bag stocked and ready.
We
get phone calls every day from singers asking which products are
good for specific purposes. Below are just a few products to consider
keeping on hand:
 |
Slippery
Elm Tea
There are two brands of tea with slippery elm that we recommend,
Throat
Coat Tea (Traditional Medicinals brand) and Throat
Comfort Tea (Yogi Tea brand). Perfect for the morning after
or the morning before. Slippery elm will coat the throat membranes
like a good coat of high quality paint, but without causing
mucous. Do not drink this too close to performance time as hot
liquids will cause the throat membranes to swell and interfere
with vocal control. |
 |
Slippery
Elm Lozenges
These are perfect throughout the day as needed. Be sure to let
them slowly dissolve in the mouth. Slippery Elm has been used
by singers since the 1800's and with good reason. We recommend
the sugar free option (Wild
Cherry and Original),
but there are also highly popular pocket size boxes available
for convenience or sampling.

Vocal
Eze Professional Throat Spray
This all natural hydrating throat spray contains echinacea which
has been known to promote healing. It also acts as a bronchial
dilator. Our staff singers and many customers support the idea
that this product can help you open the airways and passages
needed to hit those high notes. Highly recommended. You can
use this product during performance...but of course we recommend
using it during rehearsal first! |
 |
Entertainer's
Secret Throat Spray
This aloe hydrating spray is one of the most popular on the
market. It's honey apple flavor is easy on the taste buds and
works well to hydrate your dry throat and combat that hoarse
voice. You can use this product during performance...but of
course we recommend using it during rehearsal first! |
 |
Clear
Voice
Have a rasp you just can't shake? This product just might do
the trick for you. Available in six different flavors, this
product is highly recommended by rock singers due to the strain
rock "screaming" can initiate. Also, if you are in
a variety show where you have to move from songs made famous
by Janis Joplin to those highly recognized ballads like Unchained
Melody...this just might help raise your comfort and your confidence
level. You can use this product during performance...but of
course we recommend using it during rehearsal first! |
