Good Voice Requires Healthy Body
Try asking a professional singer and he or she will tell you how physical fitness and wellness is important in singing.
We could not deny the fact that though singing is a form of art and expression, we still use our body to create those beautiful notes with our voice. A swelling throat or an inflamed tonsils keep any professional singer in rest (unless he wants to kill himself, hehe).
Kidding aside, physical preparation for any singing engagement is a high requirement. Stretching plays a big role as it prepares the body, like the abdominal area and shoulders, keeping it relaxed as tense muscles degrade the quality of voice. yoga poses for men and women can be of great help.
Vocal stretching or "warm-up" also prevents strain for the vocal cords and the surrounding area.
Lack of preparation and poor physical condition not only diminishes the voice quality but may even cause physical damage and pain if not acted upon.
