You could try playing recorded music that people reflect on or listen to. Or maybe just tell them you can't sing so need them to do the work this morning?

Thanks Linda,

I managed to find someone to cover for me.. but I really want to figure out if there is a last minute deal someone could do that wouldn't wreck my voice... or something that is really innovative. Our crowd and tracks would never work, I have seen it done though and successfully, so thanks Mark! Any other ideas?

For me, when I get sick, my voice is totally gone. If I still want to try and sing, I don't talk unless absolutely necessary for about a day, and I suck on a lot of lemons. It doesn't help that much, but I learned it back in speech team in school, so I still do it.

If my nose is all stuffed up, I honestly eat hot salsa before church, along with taking some mean decongestants. It makes my throat all scratchy sounding, but it works. It makes me sound more hip.

All in all, there is no magic trick I know of. If you are sick, you are stuck with whatever voice you have.
