A peek behind the scenes! An actor in a play I am vocal coaching got very sick and therefore hoarse. They asked for suggestions, and I wanted to share them with you.
The actor shared that they are already drinking tons of water, taking allergy meds (even though allergies were not involved in the hoarseness), and are planning to get a humidifier for their room.
I sent this recording, and thought I’d pass it to you all (with their name redacted of course):
A note about the recording: I was not planning to post this when I recorded it, so sound quality was not on my radar at the time. I recorded on my phone, which does not remove the background hum of my neighbor’s air conditioner. And to my own chagrin, I hear the residue of a chest cold in my audible breaths. So this is not an example of a great recording, just useful information!
As always, if you would like customized assistance or guidance, reach out for a session!
