We're all aware of the role the nasal cavities, the diaphragm, lungs and throat play, but I sometimes wonder if indeed the entire body, to some degree, involves itself in vocal performance. Tired feet, an aching tooth, sore calf muscle, any of a myriad of ailments but they no doubt affect the vocalist's performance.

At younger ages, we seemingly get away with unhealthy behaviors. The better you treat your body and voice, the longer it will perform at higher levals. Lack of sleep will affect performances eventually too. <br><br>Kim Butler MS. Exercise Physiology Ohio University Eastern Long term your voice and body may pay the price.
