002 How to Have Good Vocal Health - Part 1

This is the first part of a series of two episodes about vocal health. What should we do to have an excellent vocal health? In Part 1, we talk about how our lifestyle affects our voice's shape. We analyse how our diet influences our voice's performance and stress the importance of keeping ourselves hydrated.  What You Will Learn In This Episode: How the state of our body impacts our voice The benefits of exercising What to include and what to avoid in our diet in order to have a healthy voice Truths and myths about dairy products and voice health What kind of medication affects our hydration The term vocal health is often associated with healing or repairing damage, rather than preventing wounds. But it doesn't have to be like that. We can incorporate simple habits and change our routines towards a balanced and voice health-friendly lifestyle.  Thanks to Jack Evans for creating the music for The Voice Coach Podcast!
