I sang with the New Orleans Opera Chorus in the mid-80's to the early 90's,
and they used the chemical fog in any number of productions (probably
because it was new). While I never lost my voice, it never failed to make
me cough, so I spent many a scene moving my lips and trying desperately to
only breathe minimally, and through my nose so it could filter a bit, until
I could get off stage and into clearer air.
This thread reminds me of a related (for me) problem: do any of you who do
(or have done) music in high Episcopal or Catholic churches (can't remember
if Lutherans use it as well) had problems singing during a processional
while following a trail of incense? There were always a couple of us in
every choir who fought coughing fits as soon as the thurifer started
swinging....
