I have just gotten the role of Grandma in the play Little Red Riding Hood and the Power Mutants for the high school production. In April we're going to be performing in our States drama festival. I am very excited, but the only flaw is that speaking in my "grandma" voice makes my throat hurt and feel a little hoarse later. Before we perform, we always have numerous rehersals, and I always have nightmares that by the time we perform my throat will be cracked.
This is the first time I have gotten a major role, and I do not want to give it up. Is there any tea I can drink in April, to keep my voice strong and clear? Or anything I can do?

I have had this problem many times before!! If you want to keep your voice really clear before you're on stage, not ingesting dairy products for a few days before the show usually works. If you're too lazy for that (like me) then just don't have dairy the day before the show. Also, for a last minute throat clearer, drink lemon juice and eat lemons. Break a leg!

Drink lots of water all the time. Stay hydrated. Do not over do your character voice. It only needs a hint of character to be effective.

The very best drink to make is based on fresh ginger, honey and lemon. Some professional singers use this.
