Hi all,
I need advice. (That should turn you on!)
I manage a 17yo singer with a problem. She has a continual swallowing problem when she sings. Her high school choir teacher told her that she wasn't drinking enough water so she started drinking 8 glasses a day and she says it helped a tad, but she's still doing it. She also thought it might be the cause of nervousness - except she still finds it necessary to swallow when she's by herself singing at home, or in a choir. In fact, sometimes she has to swallow more at home than when she's in performance. I think it's a habit. I have seen this before in younger kids but with this one I am at a loss, and was wondering if you have any suggestions.
