What are your methods for removing mucus in your throat?
A month ago, I started online lessons with the best vocal coach ever (comparing to the two others I had).
My big issue with singing is mucus in my throat. My new vocal coach gave helpful tips regarding how to reduce mucus, especially days before or during recording sessions:
- Avoid drinking coffee and eating dairy and spicy foods.
- Avoid clearing my throat or coughing. Drink water or swallow instead.
- Don't chug water. Sip it and gulp it down.
My big problem is clearing my throat and coughing to get the mucus out. I avoid doing it during vocal sessions, but it's such a bad habit that I want to train myself not to do it often.
Can anyone provide guidance on how to deal with mucus?
