Hi everyone! This is most likely a part 1 of this video because there is so much info to share.
This week's video is all about Vocal Health and hygiene for singers, actors, teachers, fitness instructors, public speakers, presenters, or anyone who uses their voice is high demand settings! I've performed 8 shows a week over the span of 14 years in some of the biggest commercial musicals across the globe. (Wicked, Frozen, Grease, Singin' in the Rain, Pippin, Mamma Mia, etc). Over the years, I have developed an ongoing interest in Voice Science which has led me to currently studying my Masters in Speech Language Pathology. I am also a professional voice coach and singing instructor which allows me to share some of this information with my students. Outside of vocal warm-ups, exercises, and vocal technique, these are some tips, tricks, and products that I have come to love and trust for my own vocal needs. I have listed any mentioned items below.
