Further reminders. Stop drinking caffeine, alcohol, smoking and remember to drink water.
Oh, ok. So this might not be an option after all.
"I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes. That way I wouldn't have to have any voice training"
I guzzle coffee like it's water and my voice is ok. Things like this are very much the side things that can help, but won't make or break your overall success
Honestly, I'm not far off from you on the caffeine. What I said was. Mostly (not 100%(but idk) a joke)
Wait, why no caffeine or alcohol? I thought only smoking harmed your voice?
I don’t know about caffeine (though it will dehydrate you), but everything you swallow touches the muscles involved in speaking, and I know when I’ve been drinking my voice gets hoarse as heck. When I used to drink heavily I called my mother once and she asked if I’d started smoking.
Yeah those things might be healthy but I don't see how it's relevant to this discussion....
They dehydrate, which strains your voice when training
