That's pretty handy to know. Could it be people thinking of soothing their throat rather than vocal cords?

WARM UPS.
10-15 minutes of warm ups.
I think simply warming up everyday before you sing will improve your singing a lot. At least it did for me. It gave me a chance to 'learn my instrument' better. And it left less up to CHANCE.
How did you warm up?

Seriously....the best thing out there is room temperature water. it take about 20 minutes for the water to get into your system...so if you drink 8 oz. of water right before you go onstage-then it won't get to your vocal chords until at least 20 minutes into the set!
In all honesty, The problem with singing is that YOU are the Instrument, and until we - as musicians- get that into our heads, we'll never really "get it"...I mean, you almost have to train like you are an athlete.
