Any time that you abuse your voice, you are likely to experience hoarseness. This can come from screaming at sports events or from lengthy vocal performances without rest. Resting the voice is one of the most practical ways to attend to hoarseness. If you feel you must, set aside a few hours when you will not use your voice for anything. Perhaps, you can use this time to sleep. Be sure to handle any spoken activities before this period and keep a notebook nearby to communicate.
