Question:

Help! Audtions for a musical in less than two weeks and I have a scratch voice caused by allergies!What to do

I am auditioning for a musical at my local community theater and I have come down with a case of allergies complete with stuffy nose, draining and a scratchy voice due to trying to cough up phlem. (lovely, I know) Here's my question -

Besides taking an antihistamine and a decongestant, drinking lots of water, and resting it as much as possible, what can I do to restore my voice ASAP?

See your doctor.

If you don't want to see your doctor or your doctor gives you useless advice, the best remedy I've heard is hot tea with honey to relax the vocal cords, and DON'T TALK, because that will only make it worse.
