Does Dairy Ruin Your Voice? And Other Real Questions About Singing – Voice Science

This week, we’re doing something a bit different.

Instead of our usual deep-dive into one topic, we took live questions from singers and teachers—and answered them on the spot. It was fast-paced, wide-ranging, and full of insight. Here are the questions we covered:

• Does dairy actually affect your singing voice?

• What’s the most common thing you’re asked to do when teaching?

• What’s the least effective thing you can do when learning how to sing?

• What’s the one song you should stay away from in your repertoire?

• What’s the best way to adjust to singing with a microphone when most of your practice is acoustic?

• If I should rest my voice when it’s sore from overuse, how do Broadway professionals sing 8 shows a week?

• How does singing sitting down differ from singing standing up?

• My student gets easily frustrated when they hear a recording of themselves—what can I say to help them get more comfortable with their sound?

• What makes VoSci Academy better than other vocal training out there?

• What topics do you plan on covering in future Voice Science Academy units?

Whether you’re a singer, a teacher, or just curious about the voice—there’s something in this one for you.
