Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Save your voice!. Talk as little as possible!.

DON'T WHISPER! Believe it or not, whispering actually makes your vocal cords worse!.

Go to the store and get some throat coat or throat comfort tea (Yogi tea is a great choice)!. It tastes awful but if you drink one tonight, one when you get up, and one just before the audition it works wonders!.

Sweeten the tea with honey, not sugar!. In fact, it's better if you don't sweeten it at all!.

Make sure the tea isn't piping hot, just hot enough to be comfortable and toasty!.

Do lots of vocal warm-ups before the audition, but nothing that requires you to belt!.

Be sure to tell the judges you have a sore throat, but tell them before you audition!. It's a very bad idea to get up for an audition and say, "Sorry, but!.!.!." never begin a performance with an apology!. Pull one of the judges or the teacher aside and give them a heads' up!.

Break a leg!

(Another great thing to try is Airborne, that medicine that gets rid of colds!. But if nothing else, definitely go for the tea!.)Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't know!. Im sorry! But, listen to the other answers, and if it doesn't work, ask to reschedule the audition!. Oh, save your voice, make sure to let the judges know if you have to do the audition!. :)
I'm sure you'll do fine!!!!
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!! :D
