Thread Name: Help! My singing voice is dying!
Subject: RE: Help! My singing voice is dying!
I was amazed to find that many people share my allergic problems
I have suffered from very bad hayfever for many years and taken an inhaler which has helped greatly to virtually irradicate the symptoms

I feel that too much alcohol at festivals can lead to voice loss, as well as smoky atmospheres, pub singing with back ground noise puts up the pitch leading to strain

Water take up is vital as alcohol tightens the vocal chords

general health, walking running and even weight training can help with the power aspect ~ chest exercises such as bench press and pull and push downs on the lat machine give good chest and lung workout, and no alcohol in sight
