Try resting your voice for a day or two and see if the problem resolves itself. Drink plenty of water in the meantime and sleep with a humidifier on if you can. If this is a reoccurring problem, practice engaging your ribs, intercostals, lungs, and head while you speak to decrease the tension on your throat.

QuestionDoes lip wetting help during reading so we can read more?Community AnswerLip wetting will not in itself help. You read more, but you could absolutely do it if you feel like it makes you more comfortable. The important thing is to keep your throat and vocal chords moist, so your voice won't crack.
