This is something that I have felt I have mastered over the years. -Long warm bath/shower, let your body physically rest and recover -Some vocal rest, give yourself a chance to take the day that little bit slower, and limit vocal use where possible. -Hydration, get going with your water, your herbal teas (or decaf beverages) -Some light vocal exercises, like lip trills and sirens, vocalising through straw exercises -For me, electrolytes are my friend; I often will make an electrolyte drink; or if I am on the go, maybe a lucozade sport often does the trick.

“Real World” singing requires a more industrial approach. Back to back gigs are nothing compared to eight shows a week on Broadway or even six shows a day at a theme park. A union session is a minimum of four hours and you are expected to have the same voice at the end as when you started. So, great technique is crucial and fundamental to working as a singer. That’s why it’s important to treat singing as an athletic event. The body is as much a part of the instrument as the voice is. Both need rest and both need activity to stay in shape. We always say in the studio “If it hurts you’re doing it wrong.”

To add to the great suggestions already posted, I’ve found that one of the biggest things to prioritize and become more aware of is the casual use of your voice in-between gigs: Limit the conversations you have, try not to schedule work calls or meetings where you’re the main presenter. If you don’t have to talk before you start warming up for your set, don’t.

All of the advice shared in this forum is helpful. I hope singers will avail themselves of the suggestions. As a performer/singer/actor myself, with 2 shows a day, and constant vocal demands, the one thing I keep in mind is to hydrate, hydrate and more hydration, especially with herbal teas or hot water with lemon and honey that I can sip when not onstage, or between shows. And I agree--limit the casual conversations--give your voice a rest! And use those days off to do minimal speaking. Warm up (tune up) before every singing gig, regardless of how long or how demanding as well. My 2 cents....

Prévoir des moments de repos (sieste sommeil) pour une récupération efficace. Et avoir tout le long de l’année une routine pour entretenir l’appareil vocale
