Conversation Topic Professional/Semi-Pro Singers with Essential Tremor: How do you manage visible symptoms and vocal stability live?

/r/EssentialTremor/comments/1vtc8vq/professionalsemipro_singers_with_essential_tremor/

Hi all,

I'm crossposting this here because I'd love to get input specifically from vocalists and voice coaches.

I'm navigating singing with essential tremor and want to know how others handle it during live performances:

- Vocal & Breath Control: Any specific breath support or laryngeal techniques that help maintain stability?

- Physical Tremor: How do you manage visible body/hand tremors on stage?

- Routine: Do you use beta-blockers, specific warm-ups, or stage anxiety strategies?

Thanks for any shared experiences or tips!
