Hey fellow musicians! So I'm always been a musician in my soul, and writing my own music too. Although I've been too shy to share it. Now I'm putting myself out there and I'd really appreciate your opinions, tips and tricks on what I did good, and what I could do better! So here's two links to my original song I've made public so far. They are really personal with the lyrics and emotion. Hope you'll take your time to help me out!🤗 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85Qjxz9MnpI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOMvcKHHtQ4

I noticed @Capo3tanya commented about her cold effecting her singing right now. I have similar issues. Mine seems to be a seasonal cough that doesn't go away. Usually it starts sometime between February and April. Its June now and I still have it. This year is the longest its ever lasted, so I figured maybe its an allergy. I started taking an allergy pill thinking it might help. It doesn't seem to, but I still take it daily. For awhile, I was also having severe heartburn and bloating, even if the only thing I had was just plain water. If you didn't already know, heartburn can cause a persistent cough. Round about late April, I gave in and went to see my doc. (I hate going to the doc). Hah! She actually saw me looking so bloated, I looked 3 months pregnant---I had strangers asking me boy or girl?---lol. How do you reply to that? Well, I just said we didn't know yet. Why make them feel bad. I REALLY DID LOOK PREGNANT! so I just rolled with it. So she sent me to a gastroenterologist and he put me on a fodmap diet for 8 weeks to straighten out the flora in my gut. I'm still doing that and the heartburn is gone as is the bloating, but not the cough. So in my case, the heartburn isn't causing the cough. Back to the doc for my cough. I was exhausted from regular coughing and on account of the fodmap diet, couldn't have certain sugars in cough drops. It seemed unproductive and my best friends were Altoid mints and water, which just weren't cutting it. If I talked for any length of time or ate, that seemed to set me into a coughing fit. Funny thing was, I could get through a song better than a conversation, except for when I hit a certain range. I usually carry the melody and they sing the other harmonies when all female. When guys are there, too, they also do melody and I sometimes do harmony, so sometimes I could get away with backing off at that range and sometimes I couldn't. I could feel the urge to cough, but often could make it through the song and would have a coughing fit between songs--go figure. I have discovered unexpectedly that doing vocal warm-ups and breathing exercises at home (I found some that I like on youtube) before singing helps me tremendously when it comes time to sing with the team. Its really surprising how proper breathing can get you through the holds when you feel like coughing. It turns out I have some inflammation that's' causing the cough, so she put me on a 5 day regimen of Prednisone and one of those puffer things, which I don't like to use because, though it soothes the cough, it wipes my energy. In the meantime, with another type of cough, I have discovered certain things to work for me and I thought I would put those tips here. - a humidifier next to the bed at night - drinking lots and lots of water throughout the day - Altoids - Homemade Ginger Tea (recipe below) VERY SPICY GINGER TEA Wash a 2 inch piece of fresh ginger root shred the root, peel and all with a grater (I use a cheese/carrot grater) bring 1 quart of water to a boil in a 2 or 3 quart saucepan add ginger (I use a metal mesh strainer with a handle that sits on the saucepan to keep grated ginger in to easily strain ginger later) turn off heat. Put the lid on and let steep for 10 minutes remove the saucepan and strain the ginger Add honey or real maple syrup or sweetener if desired/lemon -- optional to stir in If you are using a teapot and boiling water in it, let it steep for about 15 mins. I find this warms and loosens congestion, but it is a very powerful spice, you may choose to dilute it to your taste if overly strong. I hope these few tips might help someone to sooth their cough. There are many different causes of coughs and many different remedies for colds and coughs. IF YOU'VE HAD TROUBLE WITH CONGESTION, DRY COUGH OR A COLD OR ANY TYPE OF COUCH, PLEASE SHARE YOUR COLD/CONGESTION/COUGH TYPE, REMEDIES AND TIPS BELOW. Maybe we can help each other out.

This is my second attempt at engineering my own track, if any of you have any experience in this field I would appreciate a few tips as I've just been learning on the go. I feel like if I had the right instruction, I could really build upon this skill and make some magic in the studio. With that being said, I'll drop the link to the song down below. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3Ki8A0y67NQYVZ2VDJVZDFhS2M

Hi everyone, My name is John and i'm 27 from NY. I have been playing music on and off since high school. I started just playing bass in the school orchestra and got into electric and played in garage bands. Since then I have messed around with recording programs and at one point had a make shift studio. It's rewarding but very challenging, especially when it comes to arranging parts and getting over the 8 bar loop and moving on to the next part of the song. Does this happen to anyone else? How do you manage to finish the song? Best of luck to all of you on your musical endeavors John
