JAMES MENY: Okay so now we're going to talk about vocal health. There's a lot of great things out there for vocal health and then there's a lot of myth out there for vocal health and so let's just talk about how--what you eat and how your body affects your vocal cords. Your vocal cords unfortunately are carried around with you at all times. So it's not like your guitar, we can leave on the bus. So everything you eat and do or don't do to your body actually does affect your vocal cords. So if you go to your football game on Saturday night and you yell. That's going to affect your vocal cords. If you don't talk for a month, that will affect your vocal cords, so just be aware that everything you do to your body does affect it. Okay. Even down to your emotions, feeling sad or happy can affect how you sound.
