read more Yes it affects those more who do no rehearse daily. Student who does riyaaz everyday,has very less impact of the food,but overall it's better to eat good nutritious and well cooked food at home. Hotelling and eating on roadside vendors is not advisable as the same oil is again and again used for the preparation of fast food. Fast food should be avoided as far as possible. Once in a while it is ok. Gargling daily in early morning with lukewarm water is very effective in clearing the throat before you start singing Also good happy positive thoughts also play a major role of the best food which is the raw material for calm,cool mind with happiness in it profoundly ! Take care of your vocal chord and talk softly as far as possible !. read less

read more Different things affect different people's voices differently. Some singers are affected by the slightest things such as drinking cold water and fresh juices, eating ice cream and even spicy food. Some singers can even manage well if they smoke and drink regularly. The important thing is to know what works with your voice and what doesn't. The style of your singing is important to consider. If you're a rock or soul singer, having a slightly rougher edge to your voice tone brings out the best in your style. If you sing western or indian classical, you might want to be a little more careful of your habits! read less
