Thanks muchly!

Any milk based drink should be avoided and don't eat chocolate. Avoid sweet drinks as well even fruit juice can be an issue. It increases the production of phlegm as well. No hot drinks as they remove the needed tension in the vocal chords, no cold drinks as they tense them too much. Sorry Jeff but alcohol is really not a good idea even if you don't swallow. Tea and coffee if you must drink them should be black with very little sugar and be at their hottest, tepid. To be frank the only drink that is really safe is room temperature water.
Don't overload your stomoach before protracted use of the voice, a light snack is best.
All this came from a workshop I did led by Cicely Berry in London.
She was for many years the RSC voice coach and while some of her theories have been partly discredited this sort of info is basic.
Is that all there is? Well if that's all there is my friend, then let's keep dancing.
