Hey all...I just wanted to see what anyone would recommend for a singer who is playing a demanding role in a grueling tour. Does anyone have any tried and true remedies for tired, sore voices? Remember, I'm on the road, so I don't always have access to fantastic drug and health stores. Thanks!

Honestly, sleep and eat well. It's amazing the difference it makes when you ACTUALLY do that.

I know Sutton Foster uses ginger tea and throat lozenges.

NO throat candy thinggies!! (Like Halls etc) they dry out the vocal bands. LOTS of Fluids (Mostly water) LOTS of sleep and no Talking! Keep warm! No Adult Beverages!

Warm ups

"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive. "Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot." "No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one." Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.

Thanks amneris...it's fun but very grueling. We're in Michigan right now and the weather is not making performing every night very easy. I especially feel sorry for the dancers!

Welcome to the frozen tundra that is Michigan in January! This has to be one of the colder januaries that I can remember in recent years. Good Luck staying warm! Layers are a great thing. Good luck in the show!
