Subject:  throatache - first performance tonight :-(((((


Dear Listers,

I have my first paid gig EVER tonight, with a small close harmony group I
sing in. We're doing a 15-min set in Xaviera Hollander's (Happy Hooker
turned Impresario) X-mas Cabaret. Extremely exciting, however, I have an
awful throatache which crept up on me after some concerts I did last
weekend...I have been reduced to a bass but must sing an alto part tonight,
with a few solos...

Any last-minute remedies you might know of? This is what I'm doing already:
drinking lots of camomile tea with honey, steaming, taking cough drops,
sleeping; and I have started doing some very soft resonance and vocalising
exercises in the middle and low registers, without applying any pressure
but simply trying to see if I can 'loosen things up' down there...

hope someone out there can help me,

best regards

Else Kramer
(sorry, no time for an introduction, hopefully next time!)
