Voice/Throat Care for Preachers.

EA · #1 03-22-2009, 10:22 PM

Here's the deal.

I have preached at least three times a week for the last 9 years.

That adds up to around 1400 sermons that average around 35 minutes.

That total does not incude personal bible studies.

I am thinking I may have overused my voice.

For the past two months I have struggled mightily with my throat/voice.

It comes and goes in spurts.

However, today it is so bad I can barely speak.

Have you guys ever experienced this?

What do you do to combat it?

Not usually.

I rarely scream.

I mean I get excited, and I can get a bit loud every now and then, but I am not a screamer.

These past two months, there has been a deluge of colds and sore throats going around Ed.

Maybe you been fighting some of them bugs.

I've had three colds in 2 months. I just seem to get over one and get hit again.

I hope that's all this is.

I am really, really worried.

So much so that i am thinking about scheduling guest speakers for the whole month of April.

We haven't had a guest speaker for almost a year.

This might help, us singers use this to help our golden pipes.

"When the pipes get scratchy use the following:

3 tablespoons liquid honey
2 ounces of lemon juice (pure)
2 teasponns of granulated sugar
1 Xtra large cup

Boil water, add ingredients, pour hot water in cup, stir until honey is disolved....drink it while it is hot and drink it as hot as you can stand without burning your mouth. Do this once every 2 hours on preachin' day and your scrathy throat will be clear."
