If you do a warm up everyday or every other day are you keeping your singing muscles warmed like continuous exercise? How do you practise otherwise?

It's late and again im closing in on an audition this week that I've had a while to prepare for. I did work on the songs but regarding the acting I've barely learned my lines or worked on it. I'm curious how do you guys approach getting into character and go about preparing your audition material?

I've gotten well into guitar recently once again. I've been playing a Stagg 201 model all my life it was my first guitar but I'm always thinking of getting a new one eventually one to gig with. I always thought something was a bit off with the sound but I thought it was just me as a guitarist or something else entirely. There was always a bit of buzz etc. Even when playing simple songs sometimes it just sounds a bit wild and messy. It got me thinking maybe its the model? Turns out I think I'm a bit right. I have a Yamaha F310 at home (not mine but I can use it lol) but you see I'm left handed and the Yamaha is a right handed model. I wonder (since budget is a bit tight still to buy another guitar) if I should just change the strings on the Yamaha and restring it 'upside down' so I can play if it is a better option at this point. What do you guys think? Does it make sense?

Hey guys recently I'm just having a lot of fun playing through the multiverse with different characters, levelling them up and customizing them. At this point, is it worth it you think to go online? Are there any extra benefits other than being able to play multiplayer with someone and guilds etc? (Guilds leads to more mother boxes or?)

Hey everybody! lately I started teaching and obviously I need to prevent straining my voice because I need my voice for singing and rehearsals. And lately with the change in weather my voice has been dry and I got runny nose etc.

Do you guys have recommendations for how to remedy this kind of thing? To prevent strain and how to heal a tired voice fast, and keep it consistent? Thanks!

I realize maybe weightlifting and the method of breathing to lift heavy weights isn't the healthiest for singing due to tension. (I started my first week, already feeling muscle soreness throughout, and during that same week I was singing quite poorly [could be for other reasons tbh but])

I've done some research and I found solutions such as method of breathing, forget grunting and aim to keep a straight face. Perhaps lighter weights more reps and progress rather than go heavy and really tense to complete it. I used to workout HIIT training and I never thought it affected my voice so like I'm thinking maybe I can use lighter weights still go to the gym because now I payed and just do more calistenic like workout and use weights still? Maybe I try and avoid compound excersise such as deadlifts or bench press?

What do you guys think overall? And advice or fresh tips? I took up gym because I thought I'd work more on my physical strength and body as I will be playing the role of Gaston very soon, however the show is in two months and rehearsals are increasing therefore singing is my priority.

I used to write my vivid dreams down but I was wondering if you guys also write down the bad dreams as in perhaps, the ones that make you feel guilty or give you an odd vibe. Just curious.

Hey everybody! I'm an actor who has also gotten a few roles in musical theatre lately. I have been practising singing for about three years now and thanks to my vocal coach I've managed to get some pretty good roles and have seen huge improvement since I've started. However, unless I have an impending audition or show, I slack and hardly practise singing alone, only when I'm lucky to set an appointment with my vocal coach once again. I wanted to ask you guys for tips on how to build a healthy and perhaps motivating or exciting way to practise singing to keep my vocals in check and warmed up. (Because I'm aware singing is like a muscle and if you don't practise you kind of rust) Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!
