Daily routine for maintaining vocal cord health: hydration, avoiding irritants, warm-up, rest.
Morning: glass of warm water with lemon. During day: 2 liters water, no dairy before singing, no shouting. Evening: quiet hour before bed.
Vocal cords are mucous membranes — they need moisture. Dehydration = dry cords = higher injury risk.
Professional singers have 'banned days' — 24 hours without speaking after a demanding performance.
