Why can I sing lower when I first wake up?

Your vocal cords are slightly swollen in the morning. The increased mass means that given the same tension on the vocal ligament, you will produce a lower sound. The “pitch” of a whisper is a different matter altogether. When you whisper, your vocal cords are not vibrating.

How long should you wait to sing after warming up?

Warm up your voice for at least 15-20 minutes, then rest it for half an hour, then start to sing. This will give your voice some time to rest before jumping right into it. Start by warming up your mid-range. When it is warmed up, widen your scale so you cover a few notes higher and a few notes lower.

Why is my singing worse in the morning?

Your vocal cords are made of semi-elastic folds of tissues located in the throat. Moreover, the body seems to develop more mucus during dawn and in the morning that usually causes your voice not to function well. For this reason, you tend to find it hard to sing and hit the right note in the morning.

Should I drink water after singing?

Hydrate your voice. If you’re wondering what to drink to sing better, the answer is simple: water. Water is one of the best drinks for your singing voice, with herbal teas (but not too hot) in second place. Drink water throughout the day, and keep a water bottle nearby during lessons and rehearsals.

Should you rest your voice after warm up?

Important: Unless your voice does feel warmed up, don’t sing full voice. If you’re practicing, stop till the next day, then warmup and try singing again. If it still feels stressful to use your voice, you might try vocal rest for a few days and try again.

How do I fix my morning voice?

If your vocal chords have dried out overnight, you’ll likely wake up with a raspy, dry voice in the morning. To get rid of the raspy quality as soon as possible, have a large drink of water, coffee, or even orange juice as soon as possible. The liquid will clear any phlegm or liquids that have built up in your throat.

How can I improve my morning voice?

Morning Shower – The perfect time to steam your voice box. A little extra hot water and deep breathing are great for getting the vocal folds moisturized. Performance Days – You need to give your voice time to “wake up,” shake off that raspy, deeper voice and get ready for a performance.
