Does humming improve your voice

Answer 1

Humming to the vocal cords is like stretching the muscles in your legs before you run. It gets them active and stretched and keeps them from getting injured from talking or singing. If you hum the octaves, do, re, me, fa, sa, la, te, do and hold each one for 10 seconds each, it warms the vocal cords up, so if needed during a song, if not, you could strain, injure or tear them and nodules can form or irreparable damage can occur and you may never be able to hit those notes accurately again. For men or women wanting to have a better speaking voice, humming can lower your octive range and make your speaking voice will be more bass like. The same is possible for higher ranges as well. I read a book called Improve your voice. Improve your life. Forget the authors name. In it the author praises humming as the best way to get the voice you want.
