Question Posted Saturday September 15 2007, 7:35 pm

I'm trying out for my all state choir in two weeks. I'm getting braces in one week. Will the braces affect my singing in any way?

It might alter it might not. It depends on how comfortable they feel in your mouth. The important thing is to practice practice practice as soon as you get them. As long as you do that, you'll have adjusted by the time you audition.

I personally have had braces, so I know what it's like. Don't worry, they won't give you a lisp because they will be on the front of your teeth where they won't interfere with your tongue. I'm sure you'll still be able to sing just fine.

Good luck!

It can, but it might not. When I first got braces, it didn't at all. However, when my friend got them, it did. But, she also got this metal bar thing behind her bottom teeth because her tongue was pushing her teeth forward or something. But that lasted like a week. My Spanish teacher had them and she had a lisp. I'm not sure if that was because of the braces or not, she just got them off and I didn't pay attention. Anyways, if it does, it most likely won't last more than a week. Nothing to worry about. :)

It CAN affect your speech- yeah, but after a week or so, your mouth shouldn't hurt anymore, and you should be used to talking. You'll be fine.

It CAN affect speech, because it takes some getting used to when you have metal fixed to your teeth!
I reckon you'll be fine though. It didn't affect me or my friends but I know it did to someone else because their mouth was pretty swollen.
Don't worry about it. You should be used to it by the time your audition comes.
