Little Shop Of Horrors Throat Problem?

Blackburn Boi · Guest

i am playing the plant in Little Shop and as you know Audrey 2 has a very crackly grufty voice. I have a good singing voice and im male and the problem my music teacher is saying is that she is worrying that singing and doing the plant voice will reck my voice. After 1 rehearsal today i had to go and see the nurse because my voice had gone with a short space of 30 minutes. This is a problem because were performing 3 nights. Any throat tips to keep my throat sounding right?

i don't know how to prevent your throat from dying, but i have a few rememdies that could help get your voice back b4 opening night.
drink hot liquids. mix honey with lemon juice and drink it. mix equal parts of benadryl and mylanta (i think) and gargle. try googling for rememdies.

Hi! I just finished LSH. I played Ronette and sang the alto party, which is totally out of my vocal range since I'm a soprano and caused me to have some problems; our Audrey 2 had some of the same problems you had, as well. Our musical director and my voice coach basically told us to not overuse our voices during the day, drink plenty of water, use your diaphragm, not throat, to project and give your character its toughness, and make sure that when you are singing you are actually singing, not singing/screaming. And, if you feel like you're getting mucus and junk on your vocal chords and throat, there is a great product called Alkalol that you can gargle and it'll clear it right up.

Break a leg with your performance! Hope you have as much fun as I did with LSH Smile

I too was in a LSOH production - its such a fabby show. I always resort to Vocalzones when I have a performance - they are not really good for your throat as they simply numb any pain and so you still strain over it. However when you need a last resort to help you get through multiple performances, they have been a life saver in the past. You can get them in Boots or any other chemist, they are throat lozenges/pastilles and are in a red box. Oh and I should warn you that they taste minging! Hope this helps, the other answers are full of good advice too.
Break a leg Tooey!

make sure you are very warmed up if you arent a baratone or bass it will prolly be harder for you to sing lower for longer times. im a tenor but with a range down to a 2nd bass, main thing i suggest is dont force it all of the drinks and tips listed are all good ones i have been singing for almost 20 yrs and i have used alot of them.
