So recently I’ve been asked by a friend of mine to start a band with him and I’ve agreed to be the vocalist!
Anyone here have any tips on looking after my voice? There’s already a bit of damage to my vocal chords, and I also need to reduce the amount I smoke/quit (as much as I don’t want to quit 😂) I do clean vocals btw if that helps

Do warmups before you sing maximum intensity / highest range. The most important thing is to listen to your body and be aware of when you are straining or need to adjust your technique some days, but you probably already got the hang of a lot of that unconsciously. Eating pretty much anything before you sing, so long as its not dry and dusty like nuts, will help soften/comfort the throat if it feels off.
How have you damaged your vocal chords already? Do you throw your voice out a lot?
