Shayne Smith thats true !!!
Shayne Smith what's mean drink port which port I know just port that have a boat hhhh.
Diana Summer but don't soo hot cuz it will burn your tongue x_x
I have one worst drink
Very cold water it gives tension to your throat so it will be hard for you to control my voice coach told me that
warm water is one of the best drink as well
Arianna Faylona G
Arianna Faylona OMG YES COLD WATER IS THE WORST!! I have an audition tomorrow so I will avoid that thank you!
Arianna Faylona Thats also with running so if you drink cold water it strains your insides making you slow down while running
Regular room temperature is what I drink and the only drink I drink. That and coffee and that’s about it.
Throughout high school and my first two years of college, music was a big part of my academic studies. I performed in many different choirs as a baritone vocalist and often had issues with losing my voice during concerts. One time during a choir show, my baritone register completely dropped out, so i jumped a whole octave and sang tenor for the entire 2nd half of the program. It took me three weeks to get my voice back completely.
After that experience, i started a routine of relaxation and loosening my vocal cords via steam inhalation and drinking herbal tea. To this day, i still keep three boxes of my favorite herbal tea blends on hand so that i can have them ready to go in the colder months. My favorite herbal teas are Traditional Medicinals Throat Coat Lemon Echinacea, Traditional Medicinals Roasted Dandelion Root, and Stash Lemon Ginger. All of the tea that i keep on hand is caffeine-free.
I usually drink hot water with turmeric and ginger powder and honey :)
Tumeric is bad for you heart

Warm honey water!
I've never really done a video about drinks and diet but this has really inspired me to make one, thank you Nicola!
The green tea really surprised me! Also, coffee is really bad for your voice too
Angelica Schuyler what's means drink port ?
Green tea has more caffeine than coffee but herbals and caffeine free teas are great
Angelica Schuyler e
Yea green tea makes my throat pretty dry, the tea has so many leaf particles that cling to your throat.
Right. I would’ve thought that the green tea would soothe or relieve your voice.
Good knowledge. Thank you for precious tips.
peppermint tea! that's good to know :)
Thanks for the drink tips, i do drink licorice root tea before i sing and during but never heard about drinking port which i also love.
Thanks again for all your info,
EvR
Great info. Thanks for sharing.
I heard milk and I'm like: *WELL THERE GOES ANY HOPE OF MY SINGING CAREER*
Just drink hot water
You can drink dairy this is just a dumb myth there is literally no proof for this but if your throat does feel weird after drinking milk just eat pineapple
It doesn't really damage your vocal cords, just don't drink any of those bad drinks before a gig, your performance will be 👎
Lmao me too I love milk 😹😹😩😩
I guess these can also apply for Voice Acting.
can you do funny charachter voices? I have many from making fun of my family and friends, but it is really a Gift set up for me by Angels ")
+Russel Well not exactly "funny" voices, but I can indeed imitate some voice tones and accents.
oh, nice, you replied, cool.
I have a bunch of comedy voices lol, and 90 songs im trying to find a band! lol
unless you are looking to act out a phlegmy voice, then milk would be good!
Thanks heaps for this :). I’m paranoid about losing my voice ALL THE TIME, and this just gives me a little bit more peace-of-mind, with these drinks at the ready. Keep up the great work! You’re helping a great deal of people
You're welcome! :) Just so you know, all my new tutorials are being posted here: czcams.com/users/NicolaMilan
Thank you so much! That was very useful info.
You're welcome! Glad you liked it :)
Singers Secret I love your videos I known drinking dry your vocal cords could you make a video how to set up studio
Singers Secret please what mean a port I know just prot taht have a boat not drink port
Thanks for the excellent tips!! :D
Hey Nicola - I live in the Barossa Valley in South Australia and have been sipping on port for my singing voice and found it really good, but now I have another one.... still port but a port that's produced here in the Barossa called Sable, it's a chocolate port and not fiery like some of our ports and I find I can pitch much better. In fact I really can't sing very well without it. Of course you still have to go easy with it as you don't want to end up drunk! I found your exercises very helpful and I am going to keep doing them to give me better control. Thanks again!
Omg I love your channel! I'm a classical singer wanting to change to jazz/blues and it was been super helpful.
Thanks Lory!!
Great info, thank you for sharing.
Many Thanks for your Brilliant video, Best and Worst Drinks tips for singers. I also like peppermint tea.
Thank you so much♡
Awesome. Thx
Thanks your the best💕
TERRIFIC VIDEO - NICOLA. I LOVE YOUR CHOICES!!!
THANK YOU!!
i love youuU!!! shes soooo dreamy
Hot tea + honey. I always take a ricola cough drop after too. They taste amazing as well.
Thank u soo much for the tips . It helped me so much
Thanks this video really gave me some great advice.
Great information, thanks :)
I like beer the best. The foaming action of swallowing really help me.
I drink non alcohol beer and it works really good. I eat a lot of Halls cough drops in the first set too.
Non iced water is a must too
i heard that cold drinks shock your vocal cords thats why i drink room temperature water
Yeah same room tep room is great
good advise or tips thank you soo much that was a really amazing tips😍
for me the best Lubrication for me while singing is lukewarm water and the worst coffe before singing and carbonated drinks. coz those two makes my voice to cracks and breaks.
Loving that port recommendation ;)
Ginger tea with lemon and honey is very good for singers!!!
Much needed post ⭐️
I don't know about green tea...But black tea with Ginger is extreamly good for both health n voice as well....
thank you so much! I do all the bad ones!
Thank you for these videos. 😊 I'm 13 years old and I'm doing my very first audition for singing on America's Got Talent this year in November and this stuff helps.
Late but all the best for your future 💜
Thank you so much! I'll have to test it on my system; but having some kind of a compass is extremely valuable. I'll stay away from seltzer and just go with water now. Keto will keep me away from port ;{. Took me awhile to realize Scotch whiskey doesn't work(guess I just like it). I'll try brandy as I like that too. Not many options with keto.
thank you!!
Thanks, Lady! 'Very helpful.
A drink I have twice a day every day is boiled water with fresh lemon juice and grated ginger. Not only is it great for your voice like normal water, it also boosts your metabolism :D
Levi Taylor my metabolism is already very High and im underweigjt
thank you so much it works you made me a better singer thank you❤
Thnks very much for the tips
My pleasure 😊
I have friends Who swear by sparkling water to help them clear their throat, they drink it in periods where we practice a lot or have many performances. not during performances though.
Thank you
I am so glad you included Port. I drink it often before I perform because it tastes so good but I always thought it was bad for your voice. I am happily mistakin!
Gravely James.What does the bottle says,I've seen several marked port wine,even dry and sweet ones.Which is better
Thank you for the advice. My voice has been scratchy lately. Now I know why, too much chocolate milk. I will go for the peppermint tea ☕️
Where Do You Purchase Port, (Don't know if I'm spelling it correctly) From I'm In The United States You Are Stunning As Well. Great Video
Coconut water at room temperature can help a lot if you're dry raspy at the gig. Drinking it after a gig before bed will also help your voice recover faster and improve your endurance. I learned this from some of my friends who are professional opera singers and they say it is an absolute necessity during performance season. If you need something for nerves, a tiny bit of brandy mixed in can do the trick.
Thx for your advice 😇😀
Wonderful video.....I would add to stay clear of teas with caffeine because caffeine will dry out the vocal folds.
Thank you so much! Back then a few years ago my singing was really pretty and I just love to sing all the time where ever I went. And then out of nowhere, my voice dropped. My voice just went from really good to bad and I wondered why and I found out I've been doing a lot of bad habits for my voice but now I'm trying to regain my singing voice again and so far it's working!! :)
PeachTeaDud what did you do to get back? I’m trying to get my voice
I absolutely love the way you pronounce the word gig
Great tips - I didn't know about the benefits of peppermint and liquorice-root tea!
Timian tea got me through 1 month of intense musical practice as the lead and with a song like One by U2 (the Mary j. Binge version) sung at least 3 times a day at last.
Yesss!!! You nailed it! I do find anything with milk or drinks that are carbonated are a complete no-no! (ie. pop or beer!) I have found no issues with my beloved red wine, but then that is just me... Have you ever tried having a shot of olive oil (or similar) just prior to a more challenging song?? Supposedly, that just opens your throat and allows you to achieve those challenging notes! Let me know what you think! :)
Thanks much
Thanks 😍💜💙
Thankyou
Oh peppermint tea! Thank you I will try it :D
Wow! I drink green tea before singing everyday and have been noticing dry, cracky vocals lately. I've noticed orange juice is very harmful as well. I'm curious to see if cutting out green tea and switching to a peppermint tea will help!
Thank you! That was very informative. I always thought that coffee is bad for the voice (especially when consumed with chocolate...)
FeyonaT agreed. caffeine is a diuretic so leaching more moisture! not helpful, is it?
Thanks for an informative video. : )
What are your thoughts on Gatorade?
thank you so much this was amazing. i have an audition tomorrow and this helps
You're welcome and good luck!!! :)
Singers Secret it went well and i didnt drink milk. i drunk lotsvof water. thank you. ibsubbed ur channel is good
I didn’t get one is it vot ?
@@Singerssecret Dear Nicola, I am ur new Subscriber and, i like ur vdo very much.
I'm a new singer, i want to know, what is " VOT" u'v just mentioned ?
And, how to get rid MUCUS from the the THROAT and from CHEST, Plz let know asap, if possible. Thanks in advance
For those without steamer i find that pouring a bit of boiling water into a mug and leaning your whole mouth nose to enclose it works!! So the water shouldnt be more than a third of the mug so it doesnt blow back to your fave when you exhale
You're absolutely right about green tea.
I really enjoy watching this video
Yes, I have a lot of phlegm production, even when I’m not singing I can feel more crud developing if I have any cow’s milk. I’m lactose intolerant anyway so it’s best to avoid that. I learned the hard way that cold water is a baaaad idea! I didn’t know coffee was bad. If I can’t get hold of water before singing, I have grabbed some hot decaf coffee-no milk, only creamer-and that seemed to help. I did not know peppermint tea was good for singers. I love mint tea anyway! I will have to carry it with me, and drink it more often otherwise.Thank You!
Thanks, Beautiful. We have a gig 12-29-24 and I've been sick since Thanksgiving. My voice is improving but has a way to go. ALL of your suggestions are gonna happen here. Many thanks.
You got this!
What about turneric decoction with basil leaves, crushed ginger, pepper powder, cloves, etc ...this is a herbal decoction, need your opinion
Is the peppermint tea that is a good a black tea with peppermint or more an herbal infusion? Kind of curious your thoughts on coffee too. Thank you ♥ ♫
So I used to sing so well last year but I've been slacking due to me being busy and my throat would hurt at times. Now when I try to sing it sounds strained and I feel like I've lost a bit of my high range. I wanna practice to get it better but it hurts which also is part of the reason I slacked a bit. What's the best thing I can do for my voice?
what do you recommend warm or cold water
What is best for whistle notes?
Hello 👋 what is port? Thank u for the info . I really appreciate it 💪🙏💯👑👑❤
Thanks for the tips! If I may add: tea and wine (especially red) are drying on the throat due to tanins (tanins are astringents, so they dry the mouth). Can you tell me why warm tea is better than cold water? I figure the cold water would help with the inflammation, overusing the muscle and the vocal cords... What do you think?
I always find warm helps more than cold
omg u have got to be kidding me i'm 11 years old and i sing in a choir but my voice hasn't been doing well so i looked at this video, the problem is i have to drink milk to make my bones not too fragile but i'm not suppose to drink it, i also really like drinking green tea it just calms me down, and i drink pop sometimes, and cold water is bad for u but i hate warm water...have any suggestions?
Fellow singer from Ironton Ohio USA, saying hello! I sing in a southern gospel male Quartet called the Hallmark Quartet.
Thank you for advices, have to admit that I haven't heard fkr half of these good for singers drink :)
But some things depends from person to person I guess,
Any sort of alcohol I tried is the worst dring for me, most of the time I lost voice for at least 3,4 days. Cold drinks 2,3 dayes. Fizzy max two days, most of the time after fizzy drinks I just need good sleep to recover my voice. Both cold and fizzy add rock rhasp but that can't be heathly I guess. Coffee middle voice sounds better and more comprrsed,upper register like blocked, but for some reason coffee also protects my voice, so I find it useful when I am not singing. Milk I haven't notticed any difference, maybe bit sore thorat, but def. not the worst option for me. Sour juices like lemonade or oragngade are way worse thing for me.
I am male (tenor).
There is peppermint green tea so does that work? Is it still bad?
Peppermint tea. Heard your advice, bought it, drank it, sang, so true!
"The Lady In Red"
I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight,
I've never seen you shine so bright,
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance,
They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance,
And I have never seen that dress you're wearing,
Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes,
I have been blind;
The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek,
There's nobody here, it's just you and me,
It's where I want to be,
But I hardly know this beauty by my side,
I'll never forget the way you look tonight;
I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight,
I've never seen you shine so bright, you were amazing,
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side,
And when you turned to me and smiled, it took my breath away,
And I have never had such a feeling,
Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight;
The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek,
There's nobody here, it's just you and me,
It's where I want to be,
But I hardly know this beauty by my side,
I'll never forget the way you look tonight;
I never will forget the way you look tonight...
The lady in red, the lady in red,
The lady in red, my lady in red,
I love you...❤️
No one's mentioned this very obvious fact often enough; you're a very kind, intelligent, generous, talented, sweet, funny and very lovely lady Nicola, also looking very lovely in red.
It's definitely your color.😉
Excellent videos, enjoying all of them, thank you! BTW, I've always brought my own bottled water to gigs (trusted source) and drink them at room temperature, never cold, sometimes poured into a glass with a straw, adding a clean slice of lemon, and drinking regularly throughout the performance, whether thirsty or not. It's always worked best for me, compared
to anything else I've tried/tested.
A side note; the great power/pop/rock singer Robin Zander of Cheap Trick insists on always having a hot pot of coffee in his dressing room before their gigs - it's been in the band's technical rider for many years. Proving once again there's usually an exception to the 'rules', as coffee is known to dry out the throat. Stick to what works for you individually.
What.... you don't have any likes .
I wish you good luck and my wishes are with you wonderful person.
Kaempferia galanga is good as well to our voice because it has a benefit to come out mucus.
Hi there is room temperature/warm spearmint tea as opposed to peppermint tea good to drink before and while singing?
What about ginger tea?? Your thoughts on that??
what about lemon honey tea is that good?
I have a question. My name is Joe and I play piano w vocals for Royal Caribbean currently on the Grandeur out of Baltimore. I’m doing 4 month contracts working 14 days straight w 2 off...I don’t drink. Don’t smoke. Lots o water and sleep, good gym ethic. 52 and vox are starting to go! 40 50 songs per nt. Jokes help keep song count down but...still, any ideas?
some people vocals work differently though some can drink cold water and still be able to sing comfortably and warm up their voice even though cold drinks are not usually good for the voice but some people have that ability but i say honey tea or peppermint tea are good drinks for your vocal muscles also
What's the story with the drawings in your backgrounds? Very Burtonesque, like them! Informative videos, thank you!
Please recommend some warmups for increasing voice range ...
I think mead (honey wine) could be beneficial too.
Are you all in England? anyone in NJ ? i wrote many songs and I need a 2nd acoustic and vocal to rule the stage, the songs are catchy and I have all different types
What if your in a rock band? What bar cocktail is best?
I find milk terrible, but usually when I've done open mic I accepted coffees as a thank you instead of beer etc. Would alcohol be better than coffee - given it doesn't have much milk in it (normally)? Also, what about ginger beer or just ginger water? or lemon water? lemon, honey, ginger? honey, pepper? I read chocolate can clear things, but I guess you would go for one without dairy in it. :)
Is lemon,curd good for singers ??
Is there any drink that can bring out the best in your voice
LOL im not a professional but fizzy drinks usually indicate carbonated water which is very bad for your vocal cords as it burns then which is why everyone says stay away from soda if you want to sing
