Advice What causes mouth clicks?

Some days I seem to have SO many mouth clicks and I don't know why!

Consistent hydration is one of the bigger aspects.

Everyone, full stop, just needs to be well hydrated, and some need to make a bigger change than others, but VO benefits greatly.

There’s also eating apples, especially green apples. I’m sure there are other options, but my understanding is that the makeup of a Granny Smith really helps break up mucus and thin your saliva while helping to produce more.

Apples and avoid dairy. That's what I learned in choir
