The larynx works best when it is moist, like the inside of your mouth, so drink plenty of water, daily. 6 to 8 large glasses of water a day are usually recommended, especially for a voiceover. The thin mucus that lubricates your vocal folds (and your nose, throat and chest) depend on the water content of the body.

Without plenty of water it becomes thick and sticky. The vocal folds may become dryer and stiffer making them more vulnerable to damage through excessive or inefficient voice use. The sticky mucus can also cause irritation leading to coughing or throat clearing which may further damage the vocal folds.

And there’s nothing worse than trying to get a smooth read from a voiceover when they sound like the Sahara.
