Singing trouble
Hey! Ok, my problem isn't something too big, but it is something I'm needing help with. I'm going to be going to camp over the summer, and doing the talent show with one of my good friends. She picked the song, but it goes really high up. I told her I would have to do alto. I'm a more soprano singer, but this song is really really high. To be honest, I'm not even quite sure how to do alto, and I need some advice on where I can go so when I sing, it will sound right. Also, I have another problem. Ok, not to get all gross or anything, but I always seem to have some flim in the back of my throat and it often causes me singing problems. I want to know the right foods and liquids I should be having till then, so my throat will be prepared when I get up to sing, because there will be a lot of people and I don't want to embarrass myself. And how can I get my throat muscles prepared for this? I've tried countless video lessons and have done research, but nothing seems to help me and I can't afford singing lessons right now. When I finally get to afford them, the talent show will be over, so what do I do? Please help! It would also be a great help if someone with singing experience could help me! I'll try anything!

See if you and friend can come to an agreement on another song whose notes you can meet easier. Some people, like myself, have a fairly short musical scale range they can sing, not able to go too low or too high and therefore, only songs in certain keys can easily be sung.
Beyond that, I find I have that film in the throat too often when trying to sing. If I've had an dairy or breaded foods--starchy, flour foods before hand, I tend to get more phlegm (as I think its spelled) in the throat.

If you go down far enough, they mention the lemon honey tea I know of as a help. The astringent quality of lemon or even apple cider vinegar added to a tea can help break up any existing phlegm and they also mention a gargle with salt and water which I didn't know of. Good luck
