Q: What's the proper way to clear my throat?
A: Some say that you should never clear your throat, but excess mucous inhibits free vocal cord coordination.
The trick is to find a way to clear your throat without irritating it.
Do a gentle "whispered cough" (without tone) and then swallow. Repeat.
If this doesn't work, you need to deal with the excess mucous production.
Squeeze a 1/4 of a lemon in a tall glass of water and sip over about 20 minutes.
This should cut through a lot of the excess mucous. Furthermore, watch your dairy intake... especially cheese. You should never eat it on the day of a performance!
