10 Daily Habits for a Healthy Singing Voice 

"Be thankful for what you have and build on the gifts you were givin..." Brought tears to my eyes. Very beautifully put. Thank you.

1- drink enough water 2- take care of your gut, throat and mouth 3- proper warm-up 4-fix your speaking voice 5- have a good posture 6- meditate and be at peace with where you are; assess what you need to work on 7- deep breathing 8- physical exercize 9- sip warm ginger tea 10- sing through your entire range at least once a day

Going to start doing this. I love singing. Can't sing though. But hey, if Ed Sheeren can do it, so can I. (For anyone wondering, the guy used to sound like 2 cats were going at it whilst also dying. Now look at him)

Yes...you are so right be grateful what we got from God our voice. I loved your comments about singing. I learn a lot from you.

I have band practices everyday...and EVERYDAY i keep watching at least one of you video for motivation and tips...WORKS WONDERS!!! LOVE YA FREYA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am really scared that I might not find the voice, but your advice on positive mindset, really hit home. Will work on it slowly but surely. Thanks Freya.

You forgot to add sleeping .. as resting your body and mind is so important too

I am so grateful for my voice and all the opportunities I’ve been given even though my voice is not where I’d like it to be I’m so happy I can practice everyday and be able to improve myself.

And omg!!! that head voice was 0___0 WHOA

I work nights and the money I need but my voice has been damaged due to smoking so I'm on a weight loss fitness and stopping smoking regime. Also I don't get alot of very good sleep as my situation is so sad and hard right now. Hope I can beat this and be with my children again soon as possible. I sing so much better with them around

... and congratulations on 100,000 subs!!!

Love this video❤❤❤

Great advice!!

Great video, thanks 😊

Thank you freya❤️

Thank you for the tips Freya! Great ones!

Danke Shön ❤️

And the deep breaths. VERY helpful when your stressed! Problem is remembering to do this "in the moments". 😒

Great video, Freya! Just watched it 6 months later. I'll hang onto it for awhile and make notes!

thank you so much! this was very helpful :)

Finally finished watching this with note- taking! Thanks again!

This was a wonderful video. Thank you for making this content.

Appreciate you a lot. Your awarness is inspiring and contagious. Thank you, im gonna check out more of your videos. Excited to see where i can take my vocals

Love these tips- thank you kindly!

This was super helpful thank you

Thank you 😄

Hi Freya! Thank you for your great tips! I got work injuries when I was only 23 years old & because of those, Chronic pain (nerve pain) in my neck, shoulders, lower back etc & my muscles around my wounds are always tense. I’ve been singing solo since I was 2 years old,but because I got injured I lost my chance to follow my dream to become a professional singer. I was ready to go to the Music University but had to call & tell them I couldn’t come. I use many of your suggestions, & warming up my hurting body is the most important one for me. Pain killers & pain shots just isn’t enough so I do what my body allows me to do that day. I recently lost my voice for almost 7 weeks when they injured my vocal chords during an operation! I was so scared! Thank God I got it back! Keep up the good work & thank you again for your videos etc 🙏🏼❣️God Bless you 😇❣️, Lena from Sweden (btw,my American fiancé lived in Germany for many years & he says you cannot drink tap water in Germany? Only bottled water)? Maybe it depends on where in Germany you live? Just curious 😊. In Sweden we have good water 👍🏼🙂. I follow a very experienced Nutritionist here on RU-vid (Dr. Berg) & he says that you shouldn’t drink if you’re not thirsty & also not eat if you’re not hungry 😊‼️ I highly recommend him for any health issue(s) you might have 👍🏼‼️ He’s helped hundreds of thousands how & what to eat to get healthy etc & he’s helped (helps) me a lot 🙏🏼❣️ I’m sorry Freya, but I just had to recommend him! Even if people think they’re eating healthy - just search for Dr. Berg’s Healthy Keto (it’s different from “normal” keto)! If you need to lose weight - his Healthy keto is the answer & you won’t get the kilos back if you stick to this keto plan 👍🏼! I’ve always been skinny but with muscles,but got hormonal, Thyroid problems, + more, & gained 26 kilos in a year! I’m only 148 cm tall! My doctor couldn’t/wouldn’t help me?! I found Dr. Berg & after 2,5 months I’ve lost 20 kilos! If I could exercise more I would’ve lost it all already! I’m so grateful 🙏🏼❣️

Thank you Freya! I started doing daily vocal warmups recently and couldn't figure out why I sounded worse after a few weeks. Now I know! I'll definitely be starting out quietly and building strength from now on.

Thanks because I have a very nice voice and I want keep it that way

I really needed to hear all of this today. I’ve been very discouraged because I’ve been a little I’ll. Very good advice thank you!

That's an interesting one. Thanks so dearly

Thanks for the tips I Put them in life useful. ☝️👍😊

I ADORE this video, its wonderful to see a someone not only tell you facts but sing and prove they work. The proof is right there and I just feel I can trust every word she says. What a brilliant video on vocal health. Thank-you for making this.

The video was very helpful..could you pls guide through warm up

I mean I use the tips you given to in my own life everyday you have such a beautiful singing voice like a angle in heaven and you are so pretty I love your make up too 👍❤️😊🤗

Thank you ❤❤

Warming up by hearing with less dialogue is learning by doing and educates the ear. Thank you.

I love your positive attitude. I'm learning how to speak correctly, cause it does tear my voice down.

I had no idea you had another channel until about a minute ago. LOL. I discovered you like in 2014.

Thanks a lot Freya! this is such so great tips! I am going to do this everyday at least for few minutes..in regular basis...Love yah....Mwaahhhh...what are the best foods to eat to maintain healthy and powerful voice...just to confess, i really love drinking coffee..Does it matter? Hoping for your guidance...more video tips!!!

Thank you for this wonderful video! 💛 I love the “stay positive” and “breathe deep” talk points. Also I didn’t think about the stamina you get from fitness can positively affect your vocal chords. This video has so much great information! 😊✨

Tku Freya! Am suffering MTD post a Car Accident. Not the best at my voice. Will get back some day.

I can sing pretty well but I always get this feeling like my throat needs to be cleared. Any tips?

*Freya, i love your channel SO much 💫💙 I wanted to ask you if you could, please, make a video talking about the ego, the competition and the jealousy in the singing world, specially when there's so, so many ways to upload our voice to social media this days. How can we stop comparing ourselves and focus only on our career and our voices. And i would love to hear about your stories and experiences dealing with the hard part of the singing industry* Thank you, from Chile.

Freya, what an awesome video! Just like you believe, being grateful to God every moment is the basic principle of my life. Taking care of one’s health, as you have so adequately stated, is part of the devotion to God. After all He is the one who created our body! Because of your ideas, and your talent of course, I have great respect and love for you! God Bless You!

Hi Freya! Loved your singing tips. With respect to head voice, what exercises can I do to improve my head voice. I have a very difficult time knowing when I’m in my head voice or if I’m in head voice at all! I’m really struggling with this. Can you advise?

How did you manager your voice while you were sick? How do you care for a sore throat and cough. Any remedies?

My voice doesn't feel healthy at the moment. That's why I was so happy when I came across your video. I'm currently practicing to get into music college and my voice just feels weak. I can't tell whether I don't have enough breath support or I am straining my voice too much

Hey Freya, this is awesome info! Could you please share where to find your recipe, mentioned at the end of the video? I believe it’s a juice we make? My immune system is the pits. I’ve had colds and sinusitis/ post nasal drip since Feb! I am a soloist weekly at church, plus singing for funerals, and it’s brutal trying to get the voice working with this hurdle.

Freya are you my vocal coach from RU-vid

13:32 Snow white, is that you?

This is very interesting 🤔

I’m only 18 and don’t have a career and singing but I often find my self singing once everyone leaves the house for school and work, I often sing songs like defying gravity or the wizard and i and each time I’m done my voice always has this burning in my throat

Freya how many languages besides English and German do you speak/understand?

Would it help me with actors/actresses getting healthy food❤and drinks

I have sang in a choir in and off throughout my life but stopped about 8 years ago, I have started back singing in my church choir now 70 yrs, but my voice needs some desperate training, love your videos and advice, thankyou

9) made me wince as i was sipping my ginger tea 😂😂

Physical Exercise really hits me😂😂 and I really noticed it, I'm an obese person and everytime I'm tired from school then going home I noticed that I am able to reach some high notes when I get a good exercise and I was shocked.

My voice is too low and I want to sing not too low , what should I do Pls help me, 😶. What should I drink or do anything to achieve it

1. Drink enough water. I recommend warm water infused with honey & lemon in the morning, as it helps warm the throat (especially in winter) before even starting warm-ups. 2. Keep your gut healthy. Eat well and avoid stress. Good nutrition will improve muscle health. Protein aids muscle repair, which will be helpful after vocal injury (or even after a tough day of rehearsal). 3. Warm-up correctly. Sing through your entire range and progressively grow your power as you get through it. Get in about 10-15mins of warm-up in before singing. 4. Speak on the right pitch. Don't speak too high or too low, or too rough or too breathily. Soft head-voice is ideal. 5. Fix your posture. This may even give you better range! 6. Keep a positive mindset. Be objective and don't get hung up on perfection. Improve a little each day, and take rests when necessary. Meditation may be helpful, especially meditating on where you've improved today, or even celebrate if your voice stayed the same. 7. Practice deep breathing. It will keep you calm, reducing cortisol, loosening your muscles (including your vocal muscles). 8. Get enough physical exercise. Cardio can help to expand your lungs to improve breath capacity, and strong abs will help you with belting! 9. Warm Ginger Tea, like warm water, will definitely help your vocal health. 10. Sing through your ENTIRE RANGE (chest and head-voice) at least once a day. Practice good larynx posture.

I had a cold last week and couldn't pratice anything even if try and now it hard for to even do warm up or I'm singing anything i was feeling pain in my throat and my confidence has drop i felt a my mind tense and confuse in my body .i don't have any vocal teacher to help

I have heard about green tea being drying to the throat, is it true?

I have sour throat infection and my nose is close from 3 months Bcz of this i upset bcz i can't sing 😢

My strenght in voice goes on decreasing as i sing. I can sing a lot high at first. Can u suggest anything

I drink Licorice Cinnamon Tea before singing...should I switch to ginger tea?

Good and consistent sleep;)….

So basically, be healthy. and also practice.

I have anxiety and I find that the more anxiety I have the more acid reflux I have and it makes feel sick sometimes especially now that I've been a stressful situation

Hey freya ive been singing for a long time and for a couple of months now when i start to sing the back of my throat starts to feel like its burning or just a very uncomfortable feeling. I even tried to work on my breathing technique with a proper posture and my throat still feels the same way. I tried to go to one of those mouth, nose, and throat specialist to check my vocal chords but they said everything is fine and I'm worried that i will never get my back or better to where i know it can be. Please if you have any suggestions help me!!

is her name freya after the norse goddess?

Speaking habits I just scream all the time..I might be hitting higher notes while screaming than actually singing 😂😂😂 (but I'll try not from now on)

My voice breaks while singing What should I do .....to sing correct notes

Question: how do you remember to do all these things on a daily basis PLUS work, daily house chores, etc... Will you give me an example of what a daily schedule looks like for you?

Not sure

I think my voice is healthy, but I’m in Paris right now and the water here sucks. So I’m constantly thirsty!

Drink Cool boiled water .... and stay away from alcohol at all costs

Holy shit, I understand now. Learning to sing is reaching peak consciousness. It incorporates every aspect of a happy and healthy life. This is why artists are the translators for life, helping people cope and understand the deeper meanings. No wonder my spiritual path has led me here. Every step I take perfectly connects at this point

I have a nice singing voice but I feel like there’s something missing sometimes

I’m studying latin & singing is journey not a destination ;;

I’m not very active,

What food that good for voice?
