  2. Vocal Health As singers, your voice is your instrument. As humans, it is your means of communication. It is the only voice you get, therefore it is imperative that you take care of it. But what does that mean? It means consciously avoiding those things that are detrimental to your voice and embracing those things that are beneficial. Below are two lists. One list contains items that, at best, can fatigue your voice and, at worst, create major vocal trauma. The other list is a list of things you should do to take care of your voice (both while healthy and while ill) to keep it working properly for as long as possible.
