I’ve been to two separate dances where the lesson was taught in a smaller side room, away
from the noise of the set-up occurring int he main hall. Maybe that’s to save the
caller’s voice. Neither lesson did any actual dancing to music though, which some callers
like to include.
I also keep Throat Coat tea around.

It uses the same slippery elm bark as the drops mentioned earlier. I keep several bags in
my calling box.
I think that I should try vocal warm-ups. What is hardest on my voice is having to run a
beginner's workshop without a mic in a noisy hall. I'd rather run a shorter
workshop and give the sound engineer an extra ten minutes to get the caller's mic set
up for me to use, but this doesn't always seem to be possible.
