is anyone here a singer?
i have a big performance tomorrow with my gospel choir, and quite a big solo also. however, today in rehearsal i might have overdone it a little. my throat is sore sore sore! i can talk, but i don't want to push it so i'm drinking HOT tea with honey and refusing to talk for the rest of the night. i'm pretty much driving people crazy by scribbling on a little whiteboard everything i want to say : )
does anyone have any tips to help me keep my voice? It's the first time my director has put this much pressure on me and i really don't want to let him down!

Define "singer"; I'm inclined to say I am, but I'm not much of one...
I was the vocalist for a band at one point in time long, long ago - I screamed and smoked cigarettes a lot and never had any problems with my throat or voice. It would get sore from time to time, but that's what they make cough medicine for... I don't care much for performing, but recently people have been dragging me out to karaoke bars, and I've gotta say that I love it. Get enough drinks in me and I'll be on stage singing an off-key rendition of "My Way" and making up my own lyrics. And if I'm really drunk, I'll do a nice little striptease too... So to answer your question: NO, I don't have any tips for you.

Better smoke about 5 Camel plain, and wash down your throat with some Jack Daniels on ice...that'll do it!

Like I said: cough medicine. Some Robitussin and a couple of Halls cough drops and you're good to go...

You'll be fine.
Be sure to warm-up slowly and lightly. Don't warm up your high notes right away, rest comfortably in the middle of your range. Don't be on vocal rest the morning of, but do not scream or press at all. You need your voice to wake up with you.
