Wellbeing and maintenance tips

Hi all,

So I've been doing this about a year now, and my band is currently in the process of tracking a demo ahead of doing our first EP in the new year, which I'm excited to share with you all, but in the meantime I was curious if you have any tips and tricks to share in terms of looking after yourself while we do this incredibly fun but unnatural thing to our bodies?

I personally find, for example, that popping a throat soother/lozenge sweet type thing before starting my vocals really helps...kind of prepare my throat for what's ahead. No jokes please btw, I just read that back immediately after writing it and realize how questionable it sounds!

obviously, we all know to stay well hydrated. I was just curious to know if anyone else has little things they do themselves to help with the strain on themselves?
