Title says it all. I plan on singing my ass off at the next show in Quebec and have to work the next day. Is there anything that I can do to prevent this from happening? I googled it and all I got was what to do after you get laryngitis.
Take a pack of cough drops with you and eat them during the show. The trick is to keep your throat well lubricated. I get the halls that have 2.7% menthol (compared to the 7% or 9%) usually flavors are honey (NOT HONEY LEMON) strawberry or cucumber. There's watermelon flavor now too. Bags are about $2-3 at Duane Reade, security won't give you shit about it.
I'm actually kicking myself at the moment cuz I forgot to bring them tonight. Again.

This is what I was looking for. Seems so obvious too. Thanks for the advice.
Loquat syrup. find it in an Asian market...it's magical stuff.
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
It must be a sign. My wife brought Halls home from the grocery store and they are black cherry flavour. There already packed away. Thanks for the advice again.

Think about when you are in a loud bar, and how you yell to talk, and by the end of the night you are hoarse. Just sing/"yell in tune" like you do in the car. You lose your voice because you try to hear yourself over the rest of the crowd and the band. If you just belt it out like you would at home or in your car, you can last all 3 hours, and be able to have a good conversation on the ride home.

The ear plug idea is also a good one.
Good tips though I am unsure when certain songs come on how much I will be able to restrain myself. I am just going to do the gum/halls trick and see what happens and on the not so sing a long songs I will rest my voice. Thanks again everyone.

Good to feel the vibe that a refreshing Canadian date will have with Pearl Jam.
They can't wait to get here.

But I agree with the above. One can really sing without screaming at the top of their lungs. Good for your throat and everyone around you.
