Links ( but not scientific studies) where others have noted this phenomena You can also try singing or just talking aloud to limber your cords in the morning. :) So try either the lukewarm water or a hot drink and see if it makes a difference. I've never heard of this effect lasting for a couple of hours though I haven't gone around quizzing people. I never drink coffee but, personally, I've found that first hot cup of tea in the morning doesn't just help my voice return to normal but wakes me up. Supposedly, drinking a cup of lukewarm water first thing in the morning helps, and tea or coffee is supposed to dry out the throat even more. Hence they'll practice singing notes up and down the scale. They practice hours each day but before a performance, they need their voice to be at its best.
#DEEPER VOICE IN THE MORNING PROFESSIONAL#
If that idea sounds far-fetched, just remember opera singers and other professional singers need to limber up before performing. Vocal cords stretch to reach higher pitches.
Unused through the night, they're nit as limber and can't stretch as well as later. Vocal cords, being muscles, need to stretch and contract to vary the voice's pitch. This effect is much worse in people who are mouth breathers.Īnother possible reason is what voice teachers and singers think happens, too. To counter the drying effect, the body secretes more mucous as a protective coat. So while the tissues swell a little, their outer membrane dries a little. During the night, we're not using our vocal cords either but while breathing, air is still passing over them. It's why our eyes look more puffy first thing when we arise. After all who's going to fund research into something that's mainly a curiosity with no medical repercussions or profits to be made? Still, there are various thoughts on why this occurs (outside of acid reflux irritating the vocal cords).ĭuring sleep while we're in a horizontal position, a certain amount of fluid collects in our upper body ( read from the neck up), so our vocal cords will swell and thicken slightly. There's been no solid research on why that I know of. Speech pathologists, voice teachers and professional singers are certainly aware of this. If a person doesn't need to talk for the first 15 minutes to hour, they might not realise their voice is deeper and/or raspier first thing in the morning. Thats why your voice is higher than an adults. It's quite possible that not everyone finds this to be true for them or possible they've never even noticed it. Before you reach puberty, your larynx is pretty small and your vocal cords are kind of small and thin. I'm surprised there hasn't been any answer or comments but yes, this is a fairly well known phenomena.
