Choir Concert I'm in choir and we have this concert this Saturday, and I also have a solo in it. My voie has been cracking a lot lately while I've been singing...I'm not sick.
Is there anything I can do to stop that/fix it.
I would be horrified if that happened during the concert.

ALWAYS warm up your voice. singing without a warm up could badly hurt your voice. drink A LOT of water and tea. with lemon and honey. no milk, sugar or cream. don't drink milk or eat any dairy products until the concert. they make yor voice phlemy. be on voice rest. that means not talking or singing until the concert. and DO NOT whisper. it harms your voice more than talking. and if worse comes to worst, sing in your head voice for the concert. good luck! ]
Make sure you're relaxed when you sing, and WARM UP YOUR VOICE.
Drink lots of room temperature water, or warm (not hot) tea.
Lay off caffeine, it'll make your muscles tense and you might be nervous anyway.
You can stick a lemon slice into your water for the concert - the citric acid helps cut down some of the phlegm you might be struggling with, unless it makes it worse. Experiment beforehand, it made my phlegm worse.
No dairy products. No ice cold water.
Do not push your voice, and don't sing too much before the concert.
Also, it's important to sleep enough. Singing on not enough sleep is like going to the gym on not enough sleep. It backfires BIGTIME. Treat your voice well and it'll treat you well.
Good luck!
