I'm interested in becoming a vocalist, but there's one catch: I wake up with a sore throat more often than I don't. Now, I could huff down some cough drops like candy, but that doesn't sound very effective for a singer, and I imagine that a singer wouldn't let their voice dictate their singing schedules (unless they've actually lost their voice, in which case I'd imagine there's nothing they could do about that). Is there anything you could recommend to at least make it not hurt to speak, if not completely take away your sore throat?
