Ep3 Top 10 Foods To Avoid Before Singing – What Not To Eat Guide For Singers

This is the most frequently asked question from my students, or from people whom I encounter and realise that I’m a singer/vocal coach. “What not to eat before singing?”

Here is out list of TOP 10 types of foods you should avoid before singing. To be clear, you are not singing through your throat (!!!) – your vocal cords are contained in the trachea (colloquially called the windpipe), hence whatever you eat does not pass through the vocal cords (ewww). But what you eat plays a major role in your singing, mainly because the food may induce phlegm/mucus/acid reflux/heart burn, and affects the clarity of your voice, causes irritation and make you want to clear your throat more often, or block your resonance.
