I remember when Mariah and Whitney were on Oprah with for When you Believe,
Whitney said that Mariah had some vocal troubles during the recording. When
they asked Whitney what she meant, she said it was Mariah's 'time of the
month.' Mariah was really embarrassed, and explained that during this, like
you said exactly, most notably her range decreases considerably, and the
best thing to do is rest.

Although this subject may be a little titchy for some, I was wondering
whether other women vocalists are as badly affected by their period as I am.
I lose almost all vocal control and body support some during and even some
days before my period. This can be very trying during auditions, vocal exams
and even lessons. Does anyone have any suggestions besides vocal rest?
Sometimes it's not possible to rest the voice during my singing exams
orconveniently reschedule auditions.
Thanks,
