Help! I lost my voice and I have a job interview.?
Hey people! I need some advice. I just got diagnosed with Bronchitis and the flu, and it really did a number on me, the worst part is I've had no voice for 2 days.
I am currently unemployed, and just got out of homelessness. And tomorrow I have a 2nd job interview for this place. I REALLY need this job. and I have ever intention of going to the interview.
My question(s) are 1) how can I get my voice back today? and 2) if it doesn't come back, what should I do/say/whisper at the interview??
thanks!

Since other answers address the potential health solutions, I'll address preparing for the possibility that your voice might not come back.
Everyone gets sick now and again - your optimal strategy in this case is to show that you can still be productive even in the face of adversity. Prepare a printed resume that looks great, but in addition to that, I recommend creating another document outlining how you would help the company. If you're a marketing professional, design 3 sample campaigns. If you're going to be doing product assembly, talk about how you'll be focused on efficiency improvements, and would like to meet with your supervisor in 3 and 9 months to discuss your findings.
The people I hire are the ones that impress me with their initiative - and you can convey that impression without your voice.

I recommend a big tablespoon of honey and fresh lemon to restore your voice at least twice today which helps my daughter who is a public speaker, teacher and often becomes ill with bronchitis. This remedy is used by my singers who stretch their voices and others when recovering from i.e. colds, flu etc. Good luck and give them a big friendly smile.
