Well, I'm convinced anyone can train their voice now

Was just casually checking out some videos from this voice coach lady... when suddenly I find out she's trans too! Kinda makes me feel inspired, with progress like that.

Wait, why no caffeine or alcohol? I thought only smoking harmed your voice?
I don’t know about caffeine (though it will dehydrate you), but everything you swallow touches the muscles involved in speaking, and I know when I’ve been drinking my voice gets hoarse as heck. When I used to drink heavily I called my mother once and she asked if I’d started smoking.
Idk about voice training but I when it comes to singing, you want to avoid smoking, and eating or drinking anything that might coat your vocals cords beforehand, like dairy. (Smoking coats your vocal cords with tar and mucus.) Makes it much harder to finely manipulate the muscles in your throat. Staying hydrated helps keep your throat clear, I suppose caffeine might affect that.
Yeah those things might be healthy but I don't see how it's relevant to this discussion....
They dehydrate, which strains your voice when training
