Vocal Tip: Stay Hydrated

So you should drink water while performing right? Well, kind of.  When preparing for a show, it is important to be hydrated.   Your vocal cords and throat are moist and need to be lubricated to function well.  However, don’t expect to drink water during the performance to stay hydrated.   If you want to be hydrated, drink two hours before a performance.  If your voice is a little scratchy, try hot tea with honey.   Warm liquid will relax and open up your throat and honey naturally coats the throat.
