If you live in a cold, winter climate, make sure you safeguard your voice throughout the winter. Avoid directly breathing in the cold air by covering your mouth with a scarf. Drink plenty of warm liquids to keep your vocal cords hydrated.

Breathing in cold air dries out the vocal cords and can cause a scratchy, rough sounding voice. Be kind to your voice this winter!
