High performance voice
-
I'm starting to give lectures a lot more now and my voice starts to crack after about 5 hours. I typically then get a sore throat afterwards. I drink some water during the sessions, but really want to solve this as it's going to be a pain when giving lectures for a few days in a row. Any ideas on what I should be doing before/during/after the talks to keep my voice constant and not pain the penalty when I get home? Some special family recipe of vodka and tabasco sauce perhaps?

Black tea, with lemon and a teaspoon of honey. Works like a charm every time. Vodka, on the other hand, is always a good idea, but usually it will give you side effects on the next lecture.;)

Talk less? Use a microphone? Seriously, your body is trying to tell you something :-) I play a lot of saxophone and have a similar problem when I'm playing gigs for hours, night after night.

Maybe I will take a thermosflask with me next time. Thanks for the tip. Cheers, Simon > latest article :: animation mechanics in SVG > blog:: brokenkeyboards > another site of mine :: JeanPant.com > CV :: PDF

My sister is a teacher, and she uses a wireless microphone connected to a portable amplifier.

The room is small so I think it's just my voice that can't last more than +- 5 or so hours of constant talking. Cheers, Simon > latest article :: animation mechanics in SVG > blog:: brokenkeyboards > another site of mine :: JeanPant.com > CV :: PDF
