▼Using:Vocals
These are just a few tips, please refer to other sources to get the best out of your voice and make sure you don't damage it.
"You only get one voice, so don't screw it up."
If your voice is misused nodules grow on your vocal chord, like a callous on your hands, your vocal chord will develop knots. Some singers have to have surgery eventually. Always sing from your diaphragm (the muscle under your lungs that makes you breath), never with your throat as it will permanently fry your vocal chord. It takes practice but that's how you sing, from low in your gut, not up high in your throat. You push the air through your throat from your gut. It will give your voice a lot more power to and you shouldn't hurt or strain yourself.
The old Honey and Lemon trick:
The trick is to eat the lemon first, then drink the honey. How it works is the lemon is supposed to tighten up your vocal cord, then the honey coats it. Drink the honey with a warm drink of your choice. Another advantage is that it helps keep the nodules from developing on your vocal chord.
