Rest. Always does wonders.

I also find it extremely useful to go over your music in your head, with or
without your score in front of you. Besides being a good way to use the
time when you're not (but want to be) singing, I find it's a great way to
*gel* the piece, especially in terms of interpretation and focus. It's a
valuable exercise regardless of whether you're "staying off" your voice.

Good luck with the audition!
