I'm losing my voice, and I have a school play tomorrow. What should I do?

Question:Try this gargle....

6oz. warm water
1/2 tsp. salt (sea salt is best, if you have it)
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. white karo syrup

Take small mouthfuls and gargle and spit (don't swallow it). Gargle all of it in about 2 minutes. Then, don't eat or drink anything for about 30 minutes. Do this three times a day.

You can also use it once or twice a day to maintain good vocal health when you're not having problems.

A vocal therapist in Fort Worth, TX recommended this to me. I was experiencing hoarseness almost daily, because I talk so much teaching piano lessons. It worked like a charm.

Don't talk at all today and drink herbal tea. I lost my voice this morning, and this is what I'm doing. It usually helps quite a lot!

don't talk today and drink lots of honey and lemon water

drink hot honey lemon water =) it helps. and have plenty of sleep too.

Let them know asap that you have an obvious problem.

try to be quiet. you can talk, but just dont limit it. drink hot lemon honey tea. or even you can eat some lozenges. well, good luck

Gargle with hot as hot as you can take salt water....don't make it too salty though...1tsp per cup should suffice...Good Luck at the Play......as they say "Break a Leg"!!!!

Try taking some throat medications and relievers, and limit your talking as much as possible until the play. Also, practice your lines in your head so you don't forget them!

Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if u have to sing gargle with some olive oil
it will loosen ur throat
