DYSON – PRESHOW RITUALS

In this Preshow Rituals segment, the pop artist, DYSON, shares what she does before every show. You can check out her rituals, after the break.

So leading up to a tour I start to do some things for my voice. This includes not speaking very much which for me is hard!!

I also have to sleep with an air purifier in my room to help with allergies. FYI it sounds like a plane taking off and landing in my room lol!

Once the tour arrives which always seems to sneak up on you, I cut out all coffee and tea which is so painful for me as a caffeine addict. The only tea I can have is Throat coat tea and it tastes GROSSS!!

Back stage I warm up by making stupid sounds with my voice and funny faces , the worst thing is to sing without warming up.

I drink a ton of honey and lemon water, but I always take a shot or have a glass of wine before I hit the stage to help calm nerves, now its not recommended but it works very well for me.

When you re on the road for a long time it takes its toll , and the common thing that happens is of course I loose my voice, so I take a mini steamer with me so this is pretty much my best friend whilst touring it looks crazy but it saves me!!!

I also make sure I warm down which is just as important as the warm up , trying to be as kind to the chords as I can, and of course the big one is to get as much rest and sleep as possible!!! Hmmmm that doesn’t always work as planned lol!
