Vocal Health: How Singers Maintain Strong Lungs and Perform with Ease.

The lungs play a crucial role in the production of the voice, as explained by Prof. Benny Negris, director of the otolaryngology department at the Meir Medical Center of the Klalit Group. According to him, the strength and function of the lungs are essential for projecting a strong voice. However, singers may experience swelling of their vocal cords due to strain and overexertion from intense rehearsals or performances. In such cases, some singers may use inhaler devices to introduce medications or steroids to reduce swelling and improve voice quality. It is important to note that young singers like Eden are unlikely to have underlying lung problems and may only use such devices with substances like water or saline solution.

In addition to using inhaler devices, voice training exercises are crucial for maintaining vocal health. Prof. Negris mentions how vocal training has benefited cantors who perform for long hours without amplification. Eden, being a professional singer, likely engages in such vocal exercises before rehearsals to ensure optimal performance.

Before a big performance, Dr. Slovik recommends that Eden drink plenty of water, avoid smoking, and stay in humid areas. To keep the throat moist, sucking on sour candies can stimulate saliva production, maintaining hydration in the throat. These practices can help prevent vocal strain and ensure a strong voice during performances.

In conclusion, it is important for singers to maintain healthy lungs through proper exercise and hydration techniques while also utilizing necessary medical devices when needed. With these practices in place, singers can ensure optimal performance and prevent injury while showcasing their talent on stage.
