[QUOTE="Jaylee, post: 543724, member: 101136"] Hi, I have to stress this is what I do.. I certainly wouldn't recommend for everyone... A few things in my "ritual"... Avoid coffee. I tend to only have it with breakfast on a gig day.. I tend not to eat for at least 3 maybe 4 hours before a gig. Digesting food restricting the diaphragm breathing wise.. Plus I like the hungry "sing for supper" feeling that drives the gig for me. I spent 3 years in a Surrey dance college. So I tend to warm up prior.. Though I'm not technically performing dance it does save the aches & pains the following morning... (Mainly the "whiplash".) lol As I mentioned earlier keep the sugars within healthy perimeters.. & keep a sugary drink stage side (normally near the drum riser.) just in case. But to be honest on the larger venues I think adrenalin pushes em up slightly anyway.. Because if I do crash, it tends to be on the come down after the gig...? Drink water but just to replenish sweat lost & wet the throat.. Guzzling water as with food tends to restrict breathing & agility.. Alcohol. Avoid too.. If you have to do a gig when not well..? Say a cough? Cough mixture kind of "dopes" the vocal chords..? It's more noticeable if you have to sing. I rarely get sore throats, dodgy chests or coughs.. & hardly ever feel the need for painkillers either.. But like I said what I do is more brutal... Here is a sample.!
