Posted: 7/22/06 at 4:33pm

i'm playing Little Red Riding Hood in Into the Woods tonight. THANK GOD it's our last performance because I am kinda hoarse....once i warm up, it might not be AWFUL....and it's a character role. i realize that this isn't a part that even on my best day people are gonna say WHAT A TREMENDOUS VOICE

but please give me help! it's 4:30 and the show is at 8...i've barely talked all day, but i can only kinda squeak my "high" notes....i've had so much water, tea, and a personal steamer.

ANY OTHER WORDS OF WISDOM??? PLEASE!!!!!!!

I've heard olive oil works, but I don't know that from experience. Tea + honey is good. Don't drink/eat anything with milk. Don't talk, and warm up slowly

So, that was the Drowsy Chaperone. Oh, I love it so much. I know it's not a perfect show...but it does what a musical is supposed to do. It takes you to another world, and it gives you a little tune to carry with you in your head for when you're feeling blue. Ya know?

richola (sp?) the all natural kind. It doesn't taste the greatest but it helps a lot.

I'm sure this is would be a late response, but, there is this tea that'a great for your voice. It's called THROAT COAT, it's should be in most nutrition stores!

Throat Coat has saved my life on numerous occasions.

Like others have said, Throat Coat works really well.

I have no idea if you can get this where you live, but if you go to any kind of Asian Market, find some ginger cough drops. They are in a green package. I can't really tell you what they are called, because the packaging is in Korean, but I know they are AMAZING. Sorry, that didn't really help. haha
