Water should be at room temperature.

3. Voice rest

4. Proper posture - Voices are strained if our bodies are not relaxed.

5. Proper breathing - Proper breathing fills with our lungs with air to its maximum capacity. When breathing is shallow, our voice doesn't have enough power, and this strains our vocal folds. Abdomen should be expanding, not the shoulders.

6. Don't shout or whisper 

7. Warm up - Your vocal folds are also muscles that need to be warmed up before working. 3 sets of warm up: breathing, relaxation and vocalization.

8. Salt water gargle - The salt helps remove mucus in our throat.

9. Avoid pollutants - Avoid exposure to dust, pollen and smoke.

10. Consult a doctor for a persistent cough, sore throat or other similar conditions.
