Its that time again, for me to record vocals
and i already begun the preliminary practices
its been a few monthes
and i was wondering if anybody had techniques about making avoice stronger
i already do scales daily
is their anything else that can help?
eating habits, breathing techniqes?

so far i can stay in key, my voice isnt strong enough to sustain a note and usually goes flat or sharp after 2 secs of sustain
i heard that Lemons and Onions help make the voice stronger?
urban myth? or does anybody really do this?
what stuff do you do to make your voice stronger or increase range?

Get a better vocalist who can actually sing and not possess unrealistic aspirations in regards with my own singing voice developing into something it's not obviously not ever going to develop into.

seriously

Im a trained singer, just haven't done it "Professionally" in a year
and im not in the position to pay an overpriced vocal coach to help me

now anybody who really wan'ts to help me out?
Basically my vocal chords need stretching in the thyroid area, believe it's gotten weak over time.
i wouldn't categorize it as "Trashed" cause im in key
Back when i was taking lessons i believe the problem was Sharp and shrill
which was basically cause of my bad breathing habits which, through time i aquired again

i also noticed that i can only do two octaves of the original three =octaves i use to do in the tenor scale, having a tad bit trouble bridging the break into falsetto
so im just doing classic scales i've learned and have sheet music for
i know the routine
but does anyone have other scales or tips i can do
i get bored doing the same scales everyday

since i last sang i started smoking, and from what people told me that really just made things worse
so i quit last week

so anybody , tips?
