Voice Acting with a Cold or Sinus Condition...

When you do voice work, one of the worst things that can happen is to have a cold or sinus infection. I am curious what others here do to try and mitigate that and sound as "natural" as possible!

Saline nose drops, throat coat tea, and cough drops are always my go to and have gotten me through voiceover work many times!

Cliff Chapman

I swear by VocalZones...

Nick Soave

Very interesting, Cliff, and thanks. I have never heard of these but I am going to pick some up just in case!

Red and black box. Usually behind the counter rather than with regular cough sweets. They're very licorice-y/aniseed-y - that "horrible but good for you" old fashioned medicine taste. The first one will blow your mind like a hardcore whiskey, but you get used to them quickly! I forgot to check where you're from of course! Can only speak for UK...

Ha! Well, I don't know if they are available in the States, but for a $5.84 shipping charge I can buy some online! I have to give 'em a try!
