2022.09.02 - 0610 – Top ‘Studio Day’ Tips
On the day of a recording or live ‘mic moment’
· Eat early - Don’t take a growling bear into the studio with you: the mic will hear it as it will gurgles. Fizzy drinks will make you burp. Spicy food may cause acid reflux.
· Lots of water – to top-up your systemic hydration
· Exercise and fresh air – to be mentally and physically alert in the often small, windowless studio where you may be for hours at a time
· Morning shower and exercises – to freshen up your body and warm up your voice for the studio session ahead.
· Arrive in good time - to reduce stress. Again, stress will be heard in your voice and overall performance
Toilet exercises – eh? Not how to go to the loo! But exercises you can do in a cubicle: lip trills, tongue twisters and stretching exercises that you can do immediately before, or in a break from, a session.
