I love Bessie Smith.

I have a performance coming up on Sunday but I think I'm coming down with strep throat or something 'cause my vocal chords are really raw. I was planning on doing Forever Young, but that song involves a lot of vocal acrobatics so I guess it's out of the question, even though I could do it really well before. I'm probably going to do One Too Many Mornings or something that's also less challengng but impressive nonetheless.

Does anyone have any tips to keep your voice in good condition before a performance?

None or little dairy products, no beer, keep throat warm....chewing gum if it is still sore on the day helps me.

Consider also...honey and a good pasta meal at around 2hrs before performance.

Hope that may help.

I know for a fact that Rick steers well clear of alcohol before his performances (well, mostly!!).

As long as you're singing the truth, it doesn't matter what you're voice sounds like.

The worst thing for a singer is to sound like everybody else.  Be glad some nitwits don't like your voice or think it's different.  If you had no soul or personality (like those Idol contestants and their bigleague counterparts), you'd sound like everybody else.

It's cooler to sound like dylan or joni mitchell than maria carey.


wayyyyy cooler (unless your my sister )

Well, the performance went good, not great, but not terrible either. I really shouldn't have tried to sing with a cold, though.

No you shouldn't have. I'm sure you knocked them all out though.
