Julie B Preparing for a performance (40) RE: Preparing for a performance 21 Jan 02


Regarding dairy, if you're lactose intolerant like me, I'd say definitely avoid it for 24hrs before singing. For me it produces mucouse, and also swells the mucous membranes (including the tongue) leaving far less in the way of 'resonant spaces' for the sound. Of course, this is all a matter of my anatomy. Lucky singers who are blessed with a naturally good anatomy for singing probably wouldn't notice the difference, but I know if I stuff myself with dairy and wheat, I don't sound very nice!

Also, lactose intolerance can make you want to pee every ten minutes too, so that's another good reason for avoiding dairy before a performance if affected! :-)
