Greetings, dear singers and friends! I'm excited to introduce you to something I've been wondering about for a long time – something that could possibly open up a whole new area of ​​study – how eating and drinking affect the voice. An understanding of the different parts of the throat and what it takes to actually sing is essential to good singing technique. The main parts of the voice include the vocal cords, larynx, salivary glands and diaphragm. The vocal cords (commonly called vocal folds) are a pair of bands of mucous membrane extending across the larynx. They vibrate, regulating the flow of air from the lungs. The vocal cords are controlled by the vagus nerve, which opens them when you inhale, closes them when you hold your breath, and vibrates them to speak or sing. The larynx is called the voice box because it is a major sound source in speech. The larynx generates sound when the vocal cords open and close, allowing air to pass through. Air from the lungs passes through the vocal cords and the vibrations are modified by the tongue and lips to produce speech. The salivary glands are found in and around the mouth and sit directly on the vocal cords themselves. When the salivary glands are stimulated, the mouth begins to salivate and the vocal cords are hydrated and hydrated. When you eat or drink something, this process of moisture reaching and affecting the vocal cords takes about twenty minutes. The diaphragm is the thin, dome-shaped muscle that separates the chest from the abdomen. The diaphragm is the main muscle used by the body for breathing. As the diaphragm descends, the lungs expand and draw air into the body. When it rises, air is pushed out of the lungs. Breathing is the fuel of the voice, therefore the strongest medium of the paper ...... of singing: system and art in vocal technique). He believes the same rules of healthy eating apply equally. He also adds that singers should be in the habit of consuming plenty of fluids to keep the vocal cords moist. Although some foods and drinks may be better than others when it comes to soothing the throat, it seems that few scientific studies have been done to prove this. prove how this affects the singing voice. Richard Miller may be right that the ideas the singers put forward are just superstitions, but the question remains how much of them are actually true. Writers Dr. Barbara Mathis, Dan Parilis and Roma Lightsey drew on their own experiences eating and drinking before singing to provide readers with information they believe might be true. Singers will continue to believe in these superstitions until more research is done on the subject..
