Allergy season is upon all Artists worldwide. I am having Artists call with hoarseness, coughs, and sore throats just to mention a few of the symptoms. First off, if you are not under a doctor’s care for appropriate allergy medications that should be your first step. Next, make sure you are hydrated with water and gatorade if you seem excessively dry. Drink hot teas and hot lemonade to help with the hoarseness and sore throats. Get extra sleep and vocal rest for a 24 or 48 hour time span to help with the vocal fatigue that can result from allergies.
When singers are enthusiastic about a Resolution, they tend to become over zealous and overwork the voice to a point of hoarseness. This applies to both veteran artists and singers in artist development. I recommend building your stamina by starting out with practicing 20 minutes a day rather than jumping into 2 hours of practice that can leave the voice tired and with other possible injuries. Build up daily to longer rehearsal time.
