Singing Soprano: How Eden Keeps Her Voice Strong without a Loudspeaker

Eden, a professional singer, has been performing for long hours without a loudspeaker. Her voice is strong and clear, but how does she maintain it? According to Prof. Benny Negris, director of the otolaryngology department at the Meir Medical Center of the Klalit Group, vocal training can significantly help singers like Eden who perform in challenging environments.

Negris explains that the production of the voice depends not only on the vibration of the vocal cords but also on the work of the lungs and their strength. Singers can suffer from swelling of the vocal cords due to strain after intense rehearsals, leading some to use inhaler devices to introduce drugs or steroids to reduce swelling and improve voice quality. However, Negris notes that it can be assumed that Eden does not suffer from a lung problem and only uses substances like water or saline solution in her inhaler device.

Before a big performance, Dr. Slovik recommends that Eden drinks plenty of water, avoids smoking, stays in humid environments, and sucks on sour candies to maintain throat moisture. These practices can help keep her voice in optimal condition for a successful performance.

In addition to using an inhaler device, Negris emphasizes the importance of voice development exercises to train the voice. He points out that vocal training can significantly help singers who perform for long hours without a loudspeaker like cantors in synagogues.

Eden ensures to practice voice development exercises before every rehearsal to meet any challenge with ease.

Overall, maintaining a strong and clear voice requires both vocal training and proper care before big performances.
