You need to be hydrated long before the gig, because it takes a long time for water to get into your body and reach your cords. Water that you drink does not arrive at your cords for about a half an hour.
You may be using too much air. In other words, you may need better cord closure, if you are drying out your cords.
I'm not sure which piano tracks differ. Is it all of them or just a few? Fill me in on which ones, and maybe I can find out. It may be inadvertent.

with the volume two workouts,am i supposed to be practising with the first lot that ken sings on, or the second lot with the piano exercises?.
the piano exercises seem longer to me.could you please explain in short the volume two work outs they seem to be higher up the scale.
thanks bob kind regards darrell
The Volume Two exercises are just a notch harder than the Volume One exercises. I think they are about the same with the piano as they are without piano.
Some students wanted to be able to sing without hearing Ken's voice, so Piano was substituted. This allows you to try singing without thinking the sound of Ken's voice is coming from you. Some students were hearing Ken and not fully doing the work themselves.
The exercises may go higher up the scale in some instances, and they are moving along faster. Volume 3 exercises go even faster and even higher. Some of the scales are harder, also. Volume 2 is just kind of in the middle. Harder and moves along a little faster than Volume1.
You should be focusing on your vowel modifications a little more now than you did in Volume 1.
All the Best,
Bob
