30 Tips in 30 Days: Vocal Tip #30

HEALTHY BODY, HEALTHY VOICE:Let’s start on the ground floor.  Your voice is an organ; a valve in your respiratory system.  As such it relies on the systems of your body - your neurological, respiratory, vascular, endocrine, muscular, and skeletal systems - to be healthy and function well. If something is out of whack - or not optimally healthy - with any of the systems in your body, it will affect your vocal health and functioning as well. Like anything else, it can’t function optimally if it’s not optimally healthy.TAKEAWAY:Exercise, proper hydration, meditation, and good nutrition will all have positive effects on the sound and function of your voice.
