Vocal cracking occurs when a voice is under strain, either from the rapid growth of the larynx as a result of puberty, or from pushing the voice into higher or lower registers. Learning to soothe a tired voice using home remedies and how to use your voice properly will help you avoid awkward cracking.
Drink plenty of water. Staying hydrated will allow you to speak more comfortably, sing more fluidly, and will promote all-around throat health that will strengthen your voice and keep it feeling comfortable. Drink up to eight cups of room temperature water every day.
If you are a screamer, singer, or strain your voice regularly, take it easy on the icy cold water. Drink lukewarm water instead. Imagine getting doused with ice water after a workout. You involuntarily tense up, no matter how awesome it feels.
Drink warm, soothing beverages. If you suffer from regular voice cracks, it's common to soothe your throat with warm water-based beverages. While milk and other cloying liquids can coat the throat, making it more difficult to speak clearly, teas, coffee, and other hot beverages are all recommended.
One of the most common home remedies is some hot herbal tea, mixed with about a teaspoon of lemon juice and honey. Chamomile, spearmint, lemongrass, and licorice root teas are all soothing to the throat.
Don't drink scalding hot tea, which can burn your throat and make it more difficult to speak comfortably. Drink it warm.
Avoid coating beverages and foods. Some foods will tighten your throat and make cracking more likely, while others will coat the mouth and throat,
Spicy foods like chili peppers, curries, and salsas
Oily foods like buttery biscuits, cookies, or other desserts
Fried foods like French fries, fried fish or chicken
Understand why your voice is cracking. A voice crack is most commonly associated with a boy entering puberty, which can occur any time between the ages of 10 and 16. Some boys will pass through puberty and never notice vocal cracking, while others will experience it for long periods of time. Depending on your age and your circumstances, your voice may be cracking for a variety of reasons, some of which are manageable and some of which need to be waited out.
When boys go through puberty, the testosterone production is increased drastically to promote rapid growth in the body, the larynx (or "voice box") included. When the larynx gets bigger, the voice becomes deeper and more resonant, but it can take a while for the body to get used to the rapid changes. Eventually, your voice will settle into its new, and usually deeper, range.
For girls, vocal cracks most commonly occur when the voice is strained during singing or from other periods of intense usage. Risky behaviors like smoking and abusing alcohol can also put a strain on the voice, resulting in the occasional crack. Strengthening the vocal chords via singing exercises and eliminating risky behaviors is the best way to avoid vocal cracking.
Speak and sing in your normal voice. Don't try to speak in a lower or higher voice if you feel your voice changing. While, during puberty, this can be harder and harder to find. Speaking in your range is the best way to avoid vocal cracks.
For singers, it's common to want to stretch your range. Do this in rehearsals and practice, not when you're trying to perform. If you're not confident you can hit a note, practice expanding your range, don't try to stick the note for the first time in front of the rest of the choir.
Try not to get frustrated if your voice cracks occasionally. It's a normal part of growing up for lots of people, a sign only that your body is changing and that you're turning into a grown up.
Warm your voice up before you speak. If you tend to crack a lot during performances make sure that in your warm ups you do lip drills before you go up the scale of your vocal range.
Try lip drills, slowly going up and down the scale as high is possible while buzzing your lips. Doing this drill every day will expand your vocal range and make your voice stronger and bolder in places where you might usually crack.
