The best way to get your voice back is a squeezed ginger juice, grind the ginger first before extracting its juice and mix it with water. But not so hot, just warm enough so that you can drink it.
Trust me, it really works.
I hope this helps.. ;)

Complete abstinence from talking, including whispering, which can be worse for your vocal cords than talking. Definitely warm drinks -- w/out caffeine -- can help, and yes, honey would be a good addition.
You might also want to set up a humidifier in your bedroom while you're sleeping, and a hot, steamy shower to start the day may also help.
Try to avoid anything that will act as an astringent like lemon juice, or even the mentholated cough drops. Hard candies might help to keep your throat & vocal cords lubricated, which will reduce the raspiness.

Natural healing of tissues has its own schedule,so "rushing" that process doesn't help,and may worsen your problem. There are a few things you can do to "help" the healing along,gargle with warm salt water,several times a day,using a throat spray or lozenges like "choloraseptic" may help.Adding some humidity to your sleeping area with a "cool mist" vaporizer,chicken soup does wonders for sore throats and chest congestion,and of course hydrate yourself well with juices and hot tea,and water. Take care. SW RNP

Sore throat is usually due to a viral infection. Gargling with warm salty water or mouthwash can reduce the pain and inconvenience. You can find some good home remedies at http://ailments.in/sorethroat.html

Don't drink soda or milk!
Don't use ice, or drink/eat anything too cold.
Have tea with honey and lemon
Gargle with salty water
Use honey lemon cough drops
Some people actually eat pieces of lemon
If you have mouthwash or throat spray, use them
Hope you're better tomorrow :)

No talking, do not use your vocal cords. Basically when you lose your voice your vocal cords are sick so they need a rest.
Warm drinks with lemon and honey and NO TALKING FOR AT LEAST 24 HOURS.
Good Luck.

Hot tea with honey works good, with no talking whatsoever.
