Voice actors - how do you keep your voice sounding great throught the day?

[gwyneth_galvin]

I struggle to maintain a healthy-sounding voice after about noon. My voice feels tired and my throat gets sore, meaning any recording I do suffers in quality.

Any tips? What exercises do you do to keep your voice healthy and fresh?

I’m not a voice actor but I think apple juice, honey / lemon in hot water or tea and peppermints are great for your voice. Mixing a bit of honey, lemon and whickey in hot water is very good for your throat as well. They’re mostly cold remedies but they work very well.

If you watch some of the pixar behind the scenes videos, you can see a lot of voice actors drinking all kinds of things 🙂
