DEAR DAIRY

DEAR DAIRY

Milk creates and leaves a thick layer of phlegm on your vocal colds,and eventually make you sound less than expected. Don't get me wrong,milk is good nutrition but as a singer who is always on the milk stand/on stage or in the studio, milk is not the friendliest liquid you can absorb, it won't damage your vocal cords but gradually its residue will leave a hitch in your flow.
When ever you have the urge to take dairy, always gargle with warm water with a slice of lemon. Don't over do the citrus, its known to dry out the vocal area.

FOOD vs. SINGERS

FOOD FOR SONG...FOOD FOR THOUGHT "Drink raw eggs and your voice will be perfect" I guess you have heard that a lot. Well singers who fall prey often come to me with complaints of vomiting or general nausea afterwards. This is because raw eggs contain salmonella which can be harmful to ones general health and cause irritation on the vocal folds(due to excess vomiting). I would not say #don't take it I would admonish you #KNOW YOUR BODY. Also, as singers we hear alot about what to/ not to take to enhance vocal performance. But here are my submissions: 1) Eat what you desire but time them after knowing the rate at which they digest(following the chart below) and when you are to perform. 2) Take foods that go down well with you. Some people don't go well with certain food/fruit types. Personally I can't stand garlic...so study your body before ingesting anything. 4) Honey, ginger and lime should be a staple in your meal plan 3) Finally, the only thing I may say

It was such an experience working with me.  Tierra Dawn is a pediatrician and a very creative singer, who is blessed with a soul warming soprano. I was privileged. To work with her in preparation for her album release in September, 2020. She is one voice to look out for! Listen to what she has to say...

EMMA THE GREAT!

By -
Emma is a singer from Massachusetts,USA. She possesses an extremely soothing voice, but at first she failed to 'see' and feel the power locked up in her throat. Teenagers! Her first audition audio almost discouraged me (Clip 2) but I listened beyond the uncertain tones and timbre and heard something hidden there. And so we went to work. Talk about being focused? A ready name on your lips would be 'Emma', amidst her busy academic schedule, she would still make out time for practice and practice she did!  Today I shed tears of joy as I listened to what sheer grits and strategy has produced. (Clip 1) Whilst we celebrate her victory today, I am assured that the hurdles ahead of her career/hobby as a singer would be surmountable. Well-done Emma!  Drop a comment and share!
