Beijer Studios

Hey everyone! I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. A little voice teacher PSA coming your way. As we are in fire season, with exceptionally hot and dry weather, I have had several students asking me about how to manage their vocal health during this extreme weather. Here is a list of my go-tos. Do a little research and make a plan for success to keep you vocally strong. I just heard on the radio that this fall and into the winter is expected to be hot and dry, ...so this is especially important. Dehydrated cords are unhappy cords, and I don’t want to scare you, but remember, dehydrated cords are at higher risk. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Hydration: Up your gameminimum of 8-12 ounces every hour. If you are dancing and/or singing, minimum of 12-16. If you can humidify your environment (see below) while singing, do it. Vocal nebulizer: Use before and after singing, for 20 minutes each, if possible. If you are feeling dehydrated when you wake up in the morning or before bed, nebulize then too. This is the brand I use and recommend, developed by a singer, for singers (yay!). https://myvocalmist.com/ Xlear nasal spray and nasal irrigation (netipot): This is more gentle and soothing than the traditional saline only netipot. Makes mucus membranes muuuuuch happier. You can find at most drug stores, I think. https://www.amazon.com/Xlear-Nasal-Spray-Sinu//ref=sr_1_4 https://www.amazon.com/XLEAR-Sinus-Xylitol-Sa//ref=sr_1_8 Consider wearing a particulate filter face mask whenever possible. Something like this. You can find at just about any home improvement store: https://www.amazon.com/BASE-CAMP-Breathi//ref=sr_1_1_sspa Ultrasonic humidifier (you can get a portable one like this): Sleep with it, and if you can get a travel one, you may even be able to humidify your practice environment. This is the one I have (brand name is different, but exact same model). https://www.amazon.com/BONECO-Travel-Cool-Ult//ref=sr_1_8 And of course, again, hydrate like crazy (rinse and repeat).
