- Cold Weather Cures for a Scratchy or Weak Voice:)

The cold weather is coming and/or is here. I get a lot of questions about voices feeling itchy or scratchy, so here are some home remedy gentle things you can do to help your voice feel better.
First of all, remember, if you're sick, GO TO YOUR DOCTOR! These are just minor things you can do so you can still do your voiceovers or sing with greater comfort.
If your voice feels a bit weak, get a steamer and inhale the steam twice a day for just 60 seconds. Breath it in through your mouth and nose. Doing so will help clear the mucous and strengthen your voice  temporarily. The steam helps improve the circulation in the throat and that can be beneficial. Steaming in the shower with Eucalyptus oil can really open things up. Hot herbal teas like the ones made by YOGI TEAS are great. Breathe Easy and Breath Deep are wonderful.
