Does one just blurt it out! Nice meeting you Kitizie. Your voice is very elastic with rich overtones. After meeting you in person and listening to your demos, I know you are the one for me. Your ability to capture the moment is rare. After our interview, I told some others that, "Kitizie can make me cry in sorrow or out in pain" reading the same script! Damn, you good lady!! Best wishes with your readings. I am not a voice person but love the thought of gagging and spewing and how one works it into a “normal” non voice over conversation. Does one just blurt it out!

I thought at first it would be bad because of the sugar. It really balances out the mouth for me. I have noticed a big difference. But I am also apply some technique too, but the cider helps. Same idea as eating apples I guess. Also since a lot of noise can come from the lips, I use a chap stick type product that has emu-oil in it. It is absolutely amazing. The best I have ever used....even better than Burt's Bees, which I am using now because I am out of the emu oil stuff and need to get it mail order from a place in PA.

I fill it with sterilized water. For colds I use Alive! multi-vitamins and take more than I'm supposed to. They are GREAT!!!!! An atomizer (small spray bottle-Walmart) for mouth noise works wonders.

Do you drink it or inhale the steam? I also am a BIG fan of the neti pot. Or sniffing warm salt water up my nose and spitting it out when I'm in the shower. Gagging and spewing as I call it. It must sound charming, thank goodness Bill (my husband) is a tolerant guy. Hi Stephanie,

Vocal health is integral and you've provided some suggestions that will help keep your colleagues in good shape. If anyone wants a tip on how to get rid of congestion and drain the sinuses, boil some rinds of orange, lemon and a ginger root atop your stove for a few hours. The concoction is instrumental in loosening the gunk and warming up facial muscles. The taste is sour / bitter, but it is one that many people I went to university for voice with recommend. I first heard of it from one of my teachers, Susan Eichhorn Young. Best, Stephanie Hi Kitzie,
