    Yes, it can cause your voice to sound "tight" making you sharper and unable to hit your lower range. And then you get laryngitis, which is the singer's worst nightmare.

    Cold temperature has negative effects on any part of the body. Some maintain that overworking the voice in the cold can cause temporary to permanent damage, as I'm sure any cheerleader can attest to.

    Colder air is also much drier than room temperature air, and this can dry out the vocal cords and lungs (noticeable if running on a cold day).
    It is advisable to drink room-temp water while singing and avoid extremely cold temperatures. Warming up helps too.
