The key to keeping your throat from getting sore is to not swallow that stupid frog in the first place!How about a smart frog? 😛

This one was used by the actor who voiced 'Gollum' in the Lord Of the Rings movie, his voice was being trashed badly. I have used it frequently and works suprisingly well.
Lemonaid + Honey + Ginger -- It may take a few times to balance the flavor to be ok.

I would break up the presentations into smaller chunks. Spread them out over a few days. It's hard to take all of that in one sitting. It also helps you to get a break and possibly alter the preso to be more geared towards the interests of the group

With regards to the beverage, I used milk and honey and that did a good job.
But I will take it into my notes.
That breaking up will indeed be needed if I want to take it to user groups.
For now, after this first presentation, I've already modified it. Left out topics my devs found to deep into the engine and added some details on things I thought my devs already knew about it, but confirmed they needed more info.

Unmentioned so far, but useful, and easily hidden... cough drops. Halls in particular are my preferences, the Vitamin C ones with no menthol. They also don't excite the bladder as much as you might with other solutions. You can tuck it in a cheek or under the tongue and use it sparingly.
A lifesaver when, during my incredibly short college acting career, we were doing a lot of work in the round.

Thank you all !
Todays session went fine.
Still having a good voice after 4h+.
I banned coffee and consumed 1,5L water, nicely planned 10min break every 75 minutes. The speaking speed will need more attention, to not speed up to much. Intonation was OK. It was not monotonous.
And furthermore, I think the main parts of the message was received well because of the kind of questions that have been posed.:w00t:

Glad everything worked out for you. Make sure to drink some hot tea (or just hot water) to help keep your throat loose.

I payed attention the plain water (no bubbles ) was at room temperature. ( and it wasn't freezing in the room 😉 ).
I'll try out the warm tea the next time.
I'll have to taste it first to see it I can survive on it :hehe:

Well, both, of course.
If you're going to bring some, bring enough to share.

Worked in broadcasting for years. My favorite throat treatment is a medicinal tea called Throat Coat. Works every time.

A mentor taught me to always put a little lemon in the water I'm drinking while presenting. It cuts the phlegm and keeps your throat from getting hoarse in the first place. Always works for me, so now I snag some of those little lemon juice packets from wherever I can find them and keep a stash in my briefcase.
I have asthma, so the stress, heat, and twisting my neck up oddly to write on the whiteboard or point to the screen used to get me choked up and coughing. I had to learn to use the lemon juice and make a point to relax my throat whenever I take a breath.
Also, laughing at anything (especially yourself) helps relax you and get your breath back. Stick a funny slide or cartoon in the presentation once in a while to surprise everyone and get a "mini-break".
