That's a good idea too, just make sure you get a quiet one.

Okay, so last time I asked you pretend friends to supply me with some cold remedies and I got some great ones. Now I have another problem: On Friday, I have to perform (sing) but my voice is incredibly hoarse from being ill and I'm worried it will affect my performance. My throat isn't actually very sore but my voice has suffered incredibly for some reaso a remedy (natural or otherwise) for something like this?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

yeah, eating loads of honey has been known to be used during recording sessions to help sustaining the voice.

and avoid smoke, of course. and whiskey! that'll just kill what is left of your voice.

all other things failing, throw a blues gig.

haven't tried salt, but it sounds like a very bad idea, as it will mess up your hydration balance.

Have you tried GETTING DOWN ON YOUR KNEES AND BEGGING FOR FORGIVENESS FROM CHRIST?

Let us know how you get on.

I don't think salt water is such a good idea. I'd suggest sipping tea or something warm. Cut down on the volume if you can and let the mike do the work. Be a crooner.

Tea with honey, but I'm sure that's already been mentioned.

If you're going to go all Mel Gibson on me, I'm off!

For REAL!

And I'm taking the TRUTH with me this time!

Congratulations, by the way. I only hope the lack of a WEDDING ring won't be a problem when ST PETER greets you at the GATES OF HEAVEN!
