10個保持健康聲音的小貼士：上集 10 Tips to Keep Your Vocal Cords Healthy: Part 1

1）多喝水保持水份，避免接觸酒精和咖啡因

唱歌時，聲帶振動的頻率非常快，因此有足夠的水分，保持聲帶濕潤是非常重要的。有大量水分的食物，例如蘋果，梨，西瓜，桃，蜜瓜等的水果，都是保持喉嚨濕潤的好水果。

2）給于聲帶充足的休息

需要長期運用聲帶的時候，給予聲帶足夠的休息就變得更為重要。因此，聲樂老師應該在休息的時候避免說話，或者在午飯時自己找個安靜的地方休息，避免過度使用聲音。

3）戒煙，絕對不要吸煙

吸煙會大大增加患上咽喉癌的風險，吸入二手煙也會刺激聲帶，影響聲帶運作。

4）不要濫用或過度使用聲音

避免大叫和尖叫，也不要在吵鬧的地方大聲說話。如果你感到喉嚨乾旱，疲憊，那就代表你有用聲過度的問題，聲帶受到過多的刺激，那你就必須減少使用聲音，好好保護嗓子。

5）唱歌時放鬆喉嚨和頸部的肌肉

有些歌手會在唱高音時抬高頭，唱低音時低下頭，但這樣的習慣一點兒也不好，長遠會對喉嚨造成張力，增加壓力導致音域收窄。

1) Drink plenty of water; Avoid alcohol and caffeine Since our vocal cord can vibrate very rapidly when we singing, it is important that we drink plenty of water to keep our vocal cord moist and flexible. Fruits such as apples, pears, watermelons, peaches and honeydew melons are perfect for keeping our throat moist and giving us a needed dose of glutose after a period of practice.

2) Have enough rest to the vocal cords Always remember to rest your vocal cords after a long period of practice. Try to avoid big crowds and noisy places where you need to talk loudly, straining your already tired vocal cords.

3) Quit smoking Smoking increases the risk of suffering from throat cancer. The inhalation of secondhand smoke can threaten the health of your vocal cords.

4) Don’t scream Avoid shouting and screaming, and do not speak loudly in noisy places. When you have a dry throat, try to speak softly (but not with excessive breath) to protect your vocal cords.

5) relax the throat and neck muscles when singing Some singers will tilt their heads upward when singing high notes and downward when singing low notes. This is not a good habit as it will cause tension in the throat and increase its pressure, narrowing its vocal range.
