Drama exam crisis

I have a drama exam in approximately 13 and a half hours...and I’m losing my voice and coming down with a serious flu. APART from drinking Lemsip and resting my voice- can anyone suggest alternatives to me getting better in this space of time?
I'd ask my mum but she's out of the country; which is exactly what I need when I’m turning ill!

Thank you.x

Gargle with salt water.

Fruit juice... lots and LOTS of orange juice and even more lemon juice. Stay away from anything processed or that contains sugar, and eat lots of vegetables salad and drink vegetables juices as well. Also lots of fruit.
That's the only thing I can prescribe.
And if you're not vegetarian (I am) you can eat chicken broth. I've heard that works. My dad, who is a nutritionist, says that it's the marrow of the bones that helps you, so make sure to cook the chicken bones, not just buy a can of the stuff.

Lots of luck.

I don't know if your exam already passed, but there are three things that helped me IMMENSELY when i was in a play and had to avoid getting sick and cured me from scratchy throats:

a little bit of lemon juice (squeeze a lemon) mixed with honey and heat it up

salt water gargles ^^^ which was stated above and really does work

and airborne...airborne is my LIFE

Thanks guys :]

My Drama exam has been rescheduled now for tomorrow morning. Let's hope it's better by then!x

Just got back from the exam. My voice was fine, but according to my teacher, I had 'excellent vocals' lol.

Drama Exam: The Crucible, 2007:
Mark- 28/30
Grade: A*

WOOT :)

Excellent! Well done!
The crucible is an ace play, i'm studying it in English .
What did you have to do? Did you play anyone in particular. I always play Mary when we read it out in class. lol

Seeing as I attend an all girls school I had to play a male character: Mr. Hale. I hated him at first and cursed the girl who played Proctor (I so wanted that role!) But then again, I gave her as much advice as I could've for her to manipluate the role and act it the way I would have done (she isn't the greatest actress, you could say!)

Thank's girls :)

YOURE KIDDING.

the crucible?!

my advanced theatre class just did that at my school!!! but they did a night performance. i couldnt go but i heard it was really good!
