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?

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
