Question: state your sources please
Answers: state your sources please
Cold air(also cold water, etc.) will make your vocal cords contract, making it harder to sing. Also, the wintery air will dry out your throat. Smart singers wear scarves or turtleneck sweaters in the winter to keep their throats warm because of that.
The best things to do for your vocal cords in the winter are to keep warm, drink lukewarm water, drink tea with honey, warm up VERY well before you sing, and don't push it if you're feeling at all under the weather.
My choir teacher said his opera singing roomate in college always kept their room freezing and wore a scarf at night because he thought it would keep is throat better.
but i dont know if anything works
I try to drink lots of warm drinks like tea and coffee. Warm - not boiling or hot enough to damage my throat. It not only keeps my throat warm, but also stops my throat from drying out. Scarves? I have no idea how that would be any help as you still have to breathe cold and dry air, and the scarf doesn't protect the inside.
cold air doesn't dry the throat or damage it. The important thing is keeping your throat and your body well-hydrated with water. The voice gets affected when the body is tired, hormonal changes, illness such as the cold or allergies. I've been singing for many years and scarf or no scarf, I can still sing.
