Those of you who are already professional speakers or singers will undoubtedly already be aware of the importance of taking care of your voice.

In today’s world, there are many different factors that can and often do contribute to putting great strain on your voice, which can affect your ability to perform.

These may include:

• Tiredness – If your body or mind is tired, the strain of this will often affect your voice and its quality.

• Pollution: If you are in a smoke-filled or smoggy environment.

• Dehydration: This is one of the main things that affects your voice and can occur from lack of fluids, polluted environments and fatigue.

• Weather – If you are in an atmosphere that is too humid or too cold, this will have an impact on your voice.

• Congestion – Coughs, colds and viruses can create a lot of mucus and general congestion and this can directly affect the clarity and tone of your voice.

• Noise Pollution – If the environment you are in is too noisy, you are probably shouting against the background noise and this is having an impact on your voice.

• Stress – The tension caused by stress often tightens the vocal cords and throat and this has a negative effect on the voice.

As you can see, there are many negative factors that can have a huge impact on your voice, so you can understand the need and excitement for a possible “miracle cure” for vocalists, in the form of “over the counter”. Tablet!

But what are Vocalzone throat lozenges and how well do they really work?

Vocalzone was created by Dr. David Lloyd in the early 20th century. Dr. Lloyd was a chemist from Carmarthen and worked for a renowned Italian singer named Enrico Caruso. Vocalzone are throat lozenges that are designed to soothe a dry, scratchy throat that can occur from talking too much, singing, or simply being exposed to polluted environments. They are also designed to help with symptoms often associated with the common cold.

So what makes Vocalzone so great?
• Helps maintain a clear voice
• No artificial colors or flavors
• They advertise themselves as the world’s number 1 throat lozenge.
• They have natural active ingredients

My personal description and experience of using Vocalzone
I am a professional singer and session musician, specialized in Weddings, Corporate and Private Events. It is imperative that I take proper care of my voice and I am using the best and most suitable products to achieve this!

The professionals
• Your chest and throat are cleared almost instantly, leaving you with a clean, fresh feeling in your airways and lungs.
• By effectively clearing the airways, the granules help keep the voice in a good tone.
• The granules also give a lubricating sensation to the throat and this prevents it from feeling dry, which is great when you sing or talk a lot.

The cons
• The biggest con has to be the unpleasant taste they have! I would best describe it as an overwhelmingly bitter taste, which lasts until they completely dissolve in your mouth. I highly doubt anyone can claim to like the taste of vocalzone and I’m still not sure why they have to taste so bitter. However, its effectiveness totally outweighs the negative taste!
• It is not allowed to take them if you suffer from intolerance to carbohydrates.

Score of 10
I would confidently rate them 9/10 and this could be improved if the taste was also improved!

I personally think Vocalzone is a must have for all singers and public speakers and what makes them even more appealing is that you can buy them over the counter at most pharmacies or online and they are very reasonably priced.
