son as to why you should avoid alcohol and smoking, butlogically and long term neither are good for your voice.Medicate when required. There are some special medicinesyou can buy, including clever throat sweets, whichcan help save you if you do suffer from a sore throat, butthe best type of medicine is preventative. Using hot orwarm water can help lubricate the throat and honey in tea(if you like that kind of thing) can also do a lot to help preventcracking and scratching in the throat. I wouldn’t recommendtaking strong medicine during an event, however,and obviously you should seek medical advice when takinganything stronger than cough sweets. I’ve used VocalZonefor a few years now, and they help a great deal if you dosuffer a sore throat and need to get through the day.42
