So... as a full time musician, I sing a lot! I mean... a LOT. So much so, that I recently discovered some of my technique failures and had to struggle through my singing. I sing an average of 17 hours a week and it started to wear on me. So... I did a lot of research on super fast recovery and came up with a recipe to live by. It keeps you recovering during times you maybe can't stop talking/singing for a full 24-48hrs (which btw, is the absolute BEST thing you can do for yourself.)
Reminders - WARM UP and WARM DOWN when you're done singing. Trust me, I've learned the hard way. :)
Ok... here are the steps to live by and my "Singer's Cocktail":
Morning:
20-30 second gargle (do not swallow)
*1/2 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in 1 cup of warm water with 1 tablespoon of honey.
Throughout the Day:
Take two Advil to aid the inflammation and drink five 16oz bottles of water -- in each one, put:
Two droppers of Sage Extract in bottle one
Two droppers of Turmeric Extract in bottle two
Two droppers of Marshmallow Extract in bottle three
Two droppers of Licorice Extract in bottle four
One dropper of each of the above extracts in bottle five
After dinner:
Traditional Medicinals' Organic Throat Coat (two tea bags) in 8oz of hot water. Drink as many cups as desired.
Stop 1 hour before bed.
Spray throat with "Singer's Saving Grace - Professional Strength - NO alcohol"
Right before bed:
Brush teeth and gargle with one 2oz of warm water mixed with one dropper of Sage, Turmeric, Marshmallow and Licorice Extracts and 1/2 tablespoon of honey.
Finish with a spoonful of honey and 6 drops of pure Propolis Extract.
And.... rest your voice as much as possible :)
It's a lot I know, but it's keeping me going! Hope it helps you like it's helped me :)
Cheers!
