Merkaba, you're a fountain of knowledge.
Ever thought of compiling all these gems you've written over your time here onto a website or something?

Good info. Ive been trying outdifferent techniques, and ive found that guzzling milk, and drinking strait up apple juice helps keep my throat balanced. It also allows for easier, deeper screams (zao type stuff). Thanks for giving me some insight

Man, great info. I learned a decent amount of this from that Rock n Roll guide, of course. :thumb: But that pushed me to start eating better sometime last year (I'm already exclusively a water drinker though :D ). I kind of wanted to get a diet book to learn more about this. And how meats affect you and stuff.

Like for awhile now, I've mostly been eating fruits, vegetables, soup, sandwiches, and salads. I sure [i]feel[/i] healthy! Also, is chicken bad for you?

Very helpful and well written.

I'm curious, is there anything in tap water (or bottled) that could be bad for your vocal chords? Because my sister (who isn't a music major or anything but has taken some music classes at her college) never drinks unfiltered tap water.

Chicken is good for you as long as it isn't fried.

What if you smoked the weed through a bong filled with chilled water?

ahahaha, I love how this thread got bumped back up for a weed question.

Technically it won't be AS bad for you, but lets face it. Inhaling smoke is just bad for you no matter what temperature it is or how filtered it may be. And since you hold weed smoke in longer that will still affect it more than cigarette smoke will.

I know, right? :lol:

Anything that lowers the temp and filters it is BETTER than hotter and unfiltered.
And while there's not anything you could ever do to make particle inhalation good for you or your cords, any type of moderation is always of course better for you. :smoke: <---

and dont forget that many of us have drainage problems or nasal problems that might affect mucous generation, usually making it thicker and more abundant.

i have a problem with my nose, its harder for me to breathe and i'm what the call a "mouthbreather"
are you saying that will cause problems or special conditions?

really good writing by the way.

Thanks Merkaba, I was wondering why there was so much mucus build-up in my throat (and it was blocking things up and making it harder to scream!) today, and yet not so much yesterday.

Then reading this I realized I drank tons of water yesterday, whilest all I've drank today is tea, a lot of it.

I guess, long story short: I'm an idiot.

What property is it in meat that makes it so hard to digest? I mean.. theoretically if you go through a good workout under an hour after you eat like your supposed to.. could it burn/shed much of the digestion process...? or is the actually substance itself not being able to break down at all.. (like the shell of corn)?

Cuz im just thinking.. if its the protein that makes it hard to digest.. one could simply eat meat.. and excersize so the body utilizes the protein.. Where as dairy is not a source of protein.

I have a quick question, do all of your tips neccessarily apply to people who do inhale death metal vocals? Because, often, I find it helps more than hurts to have a decent amount of mucus in my throat. Not too much, but some extra.
