Bono Helps His Voice
August 13th, 2008
How does U2’s Bono keep his singing voice in tip-top shape? Very simple…he sniffs salt water. The water is used as an antiseptic solution for his throat and ensures he can hit those high notes, according to The Script frontman Danny O’Donoghue. Says O’Donoghue:
“Snorting salts - it’s actually a singing technique.
“Myself and Bono share a vocal coach. Whenever the high notes aren’t feeling that high or in the morning you’re groggy, you snort salt water up your nose.
“It cleans out cavities, it’s a natural antiseptic for your throat.”
Interesting. I didn’t know that Bono still used a vocal coach. Maybe it has to do with his “aging” voice? There are a lot of older rockers who can’t come anywhere near those high notes they used to hit so effortlessly. Looks like Bono doesn’t want to become one of them, at least vocally.
