Thread Name: Can dairy products affect your voice?
Subject: RE: Can dairy products affect your voice?
It's always a bit of a puzzle that some performers appear to need to drink gallons of water while on stage, and others can get through at least a whole 40-minute set without ever touching a drop of anything liquid. Others I know chew gum as if their lives depended on it.
My son was telling me of one disaster he had when he took an anti-histamine for his hay fever, only to find his mouth, throat and larynx were totally dried up after taking it, and he could barely squeak out his songs, So better to sing with red watery eyes!
He also tells me he has found slippery elm to be good for the voice: any other takers of/for that one?
