Hi Camille.

    I need some advice on a few things. You said something about watch for intake on dairy and soda and sugar before singing. But since I try and practice everyday. Does that mean no sugar,dairy,or soda at all? Also how long should I wait to sing after eating especially if I eat those things? Thanks. 

Foods affect us all differently! If dairy or caffeine negatively affects your voice, I'd avoid it a few hours before singing (if possible). I personally don't avoid anything unless I've got a performance or recording session - and then I cut out dairy and sugar for a day or two prior. But if you notice no difference, no need to deprive yourself! See below for more advice on food, drink and medication:
