Why is my voice tired? Any tips?

Question

For the past few days (3 days to be exact)...I've been singing for about 2 or 3 hours a day to prepare for an audition. My voice is very tired...and I've been reading a lot of other questions that talk about tired voices but is my tired voice caused by over working my vocals or because I'm doing everything wrong? If I'm doing something wrong, can you give me some tips on how to strengthen my vocals, my breathing, and other tips on how to not make my voice tired?

Answer 1

Drink lots of water and get lots of sleep, if the 2-3 hours a day has been sudden, then that's probalby why. It probably would've been better if you worked your way up. Like maybe one week earlier you could've practiced fifteen minutes a day, then 20, then half an hour, etc. Good luck!
