I have an emergency! Please, I need some help ASAP!I have an audition for HSM on Thursday and I'm losing my voice! Does anyone have a super secret trick or anything that could possibly help me? Right now I'm guzzling water with a dash of lemon and cough drops by the dozen. I even went to the doctor to get prescription cough drops but nothing seems to be helping. I would really hate to get stuck with a chorus part because of my lack of voice rather than a lack of talent (which I do not have!). I really need my voice backkkk!

Gargle peroxide and swoosh it around in your mouth then spit it all out. Do it tonight, tomorrow morning, tomorrow night, etc. It kills germs in your throat | ||

Is that safe? I think I'd try anything at this point though. | ||

Gargle warm salt water a few times a day up until your audition. | ||

I hope you aren't taking mentholated cough drops...those do more harm than good...
We have a lot of vocal threads in here and I'll try to find a few that will help... http://www.musicals.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=57284&highlight=sore+throat http://www.musicals.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=56619&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=sore+throat&start=0 http://www.musicals.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=56556&highlight=sore+throat http://www.musicals.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=56229&highlight=sore+throat Those don't even touch the tip of the iceberg! LOL!

No, no, of course not. I've been sucking up Halls Defence vit-c drops, anything to keep me from losing my voice entirely. I have the WORST luck with stuff like this! |

Get as much pineapple juice in you as possible. I swear, the stuff works miracles. I got sick monday of last week going into tech week for my show and my music director told me to drink pineapple and by tuesday by voice was ten times better! I know swear by the stuff.

Actually, a lot of tribal cultures used it to ward off infection... The best thing with pineapple is if you can get a fresh one and cut it up! I tend to swear by it when I know the weather's changing and I tend to get bronchitis/sinus infections.... Just be careful if you tend to have acid reflux... |

have a spoonfull of honey before you sing, normally thats bad as it coats your vocal cords... but if youre throat hurts then its better to have some voice than none at all. | ||

Please don't forget to check out the links I sent you because this topic has been covered a number of times...(They talk about Throat Coat, etc.) | ||

Thanks everyone, I drank about ten mugs of Throat Coat today and my speaking voice is back almost completely. I'll just have to hope and pray for my poor singing voice. I'm hoping that I'll be able to sing in the alto range at least. |
