Hi group,
I wanted to give you some great advice that I received from Sherrill Milnes in a master class. Mr. Milnes said that you shouldn't sing for 24 hours after a performance. He said that the chords get swollen and out of shape, and it takes 24 hours for them to heal. He was so steadfast about his advice that he didn't sing one note during the class. I suck on a lot of ice cubes now, which I hope is good? I have also heard that taking any medication that numbs the throat can damage your chords? Does anyone else have any good tips for protecting your vocal chords?
Steve P.S. I attribute vitamin C for keeping my chords strong, and I take it every day.
