Losing my voice?

Question

I am in a play tomorrow and I really need some tricks for helping my voice be as strong as possible for it. I am losing it because I have had a horrible cold for about three weeks. so what should I do?

Answer 1

Try gargling with salt and warm water, and just relax and take it easy. good luck, god bless.

Answer 2

Drink lots of water- not cold... room temperature

Drink Chamomile tea- soothes and relaxes throat

Don't talk unless you absolutely have to!

Buy CVS brand lemon drop candies. They are inexpensive and I suck on them when I am sick and before I sing.

Also, when I have a cold I take Robitussin CF- it helps break up mucus in the chest.

Good Luck!

Answer 5

make sure you drink lots of water, that should help your voice come back

Answer 6

Drink tons and tons of tea with honey and go to bed at 6:30. That way you'll get tons of sleep because you need it so your voice will get better. Also, right before you go to bed put really hot water into a bowl, put a towel over your head, and place your face OVER the water--> do not let your face touch the water. Do this before you go to bed and tomarrow after you take a long hot water. Also, drink tons of tea with honey and water! Break a leg!

P.S. DON'T gargle with salt water--> it makes your voice scratchy that is only if you have a cold and don't have to sing!!!!!!!

Answer 7

My sis had the same problem not to long ago...

She tried whiskey and honey..then just whiskey-only a Table Spoon though lol

and if you don't want that-or it doesn't work, try some lemon juice-NOT lemonade, just the juice 100% if possible

I hope all goes well!

Answer 10

Don't talk!  The other thing that works, as a short term solution only, is some stuff called Throat Coat Tea.  It doesn't solve the problem, only masks the symptoms, so it is very much a one-off thing, because otherwise you'll damage your throat by continuing to sing when you shouldn't; however, for a one-off like your situation seems to be, it should help.  It does taste nasty though!
