Staying Healthy

As you all know the flu has been going around and  a lot of people in our school have been getting very sick.  As a performer you always have to stay on top of your game and stay healthy. I constantly have to worry about my voice. It's a huge aspect of what I do as a performer. Doing something as simple as screaming at a football game can mess with your voice. I made a promise to my voice coach I will give up screaming, which is kinda hard because I'm easily frightened. But I commit to it.  I also have to be put on special vitamins and have to gargle all different types of disgusting mixtures that are good for your throat. Some of these mixtures would be such as, salt water, drinking Honey, gargling whisky, lemon juice, etc..  Those would be some of the tortuous things singing performers have to deal with to keep your voice healthy. Vitamin C is also a great way to keep your immunity up. Orange juice is delicious I drink it almost with every meal. It's sounds gross to some people but hey this helps keeps me healthy. 

 If you have read my last blog I mentioned how I haven't been sleeping much which is not too good.  At the moment I am sick right now and it's not too fun. I blame my sleeping patterns, and busy schedule. My immunity must have gone down and I must have caught something. I've been coughing non-stop for the last week. I'm sure if your in my second hour, you witnessed me having a cough attack of some kind. I feel like I'm dying right now, and I need to get better. I have an audition later this week! It's kinda important I don't cough the whole way threw. Hopefully I will recover before the audition!
