According to a study published by the Miller School of Medicine at the University of Miami, singers are at increased risk of developing voice-related health problems. The report noted that 32% of musical theatre students and 18% of contemporary singing students had evidence of vocal fold pathologies such as vocal nodules and polyps, highlighting the importance of maintaining vocal hygiene for those learning to sing.

For singers suffering from allergies, 'Singing and YOU' explains that conventional antihistamines should be avoided as they dry out the throat which can worsen congestion, affecting vocal performance. Instead, singing students are advised to try natural antihistamines such as stinging nettle which can alleviate symptoms without causing throat dryness. Additionally, consulting an ENT who has experience with singers is recommended to learn more about treatment options.

'Singing and YOU' also provides tips to help singers with asthma maintain their vocal health. For instance, breathing exercises such as those taught by Paul Sorvino in his book, How to Become a Former Asthmatic, can be effective in managing symptoms. Using a quick-relief inhaler approximately 15 minutes before singing is also recommended to prevent asthma attacks.

In addition to their educational resources about vocal health, 'Singing and YOU' offers a Q&A forum on their website where singers can post questions about vocal health and other challenges they are encountering while singing and receive advice from Gretchen Greenfield. The service is offered at no cost and allows singers to receive personalized support for the issues they are facing.
