Winter is tough on your voice! ❄️

Cold air, heaters, illness, and even common cold meds can dry out your vocal folds, making them more prone to injury.

Singers need more than just water during the winter season.

What they need is a layered hydration approach which consists of the following:
✅ Systemic hydration which combines regular water intake and eating high water content foods
✅ Incorporate electrolytes when possible
✅ Surface hydration through steam or nebulization

Implementing the layered hydration approach helps keep vocal folds pliable, friction-free, and resilient.

Stay hydrated. Protect your voice. Sing safely this winter! 🎤

Your voice does so much for you ➡️ teaching, performing, leading, connecting.

In 2026, we’re shifting away from “push through it” culture and choosing sustainable voice care instead.
✔️ IN: listening to your body
✔️ IN: rest, hydration, gentle vocalizing, and mindful resets
✔️ IN: working with voice professionals when something feels off

❌ OUT: expecting perfection
❌ OUT: ignoring symptoms or going it alone
❌ OUT: quick fixes that don’t actually help

Healthy voices aren’t built by working harder—they’re built with intention, compassion and informed support.

That’s exactly why we created the Voice Teacher Collective. A professional learning space for voice teachers who want support in navigating the real vocal challenges that show up in the studio. Debut session begins January 23rd!
