i wish i could reschedule but i flew in from out of town. i can painfully speak for a minute or two but its pretty unpleasant for me and anyone that has to listen
Even while drinking tea? Maybe you could extend that to three minutes.... I'd get a big thermos and bring it with you, and cross all toes and fingers while you're at it. Since you're in from out of town, I think you should show up regardless (unless, of course, you're actively vomitting or the like). Maybe you'll be able to speak a little better by then, and regardless, they're not going to be able to fill your spot.

Oh, and of course be careful with the caffeine if you're sensitive. I overdid some black tea at a B&B the morning of an interview and was bouncing off the walls.
i agree. bring a fat jug of tea and the chloraseptic numbing throat drops that i spoke of earlier.
Man, I lived on that chloraseptic spray when I had mono.
I would suggest using a remedy I got from one of my good friends
1) Karo syrup (like maple syrup but gross)
2) Baking Soda (just a shake or two)
3) Salt (slightly more of this than baking soda)
Mix them up and gargle with it. It will really hurt but you should be able to talk. It worked for me well enough to sing to a large crowd for 2 hours. Good luck!
This totally works! Give it a shot!Try gargling with some salt water. I lose my voice a lot and it helps. Just dont make the water too salty!
