Hello and thank you for your question.
Staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water and avoiding caffeine and alcohol is the most important. Taking vitamin C is good and also using a high quality chap stick can be helpful. As far as losing your voice, staying hydrated and resting your voice are the most helpful. Losing your voice, laryngitis, can be caused by viruses or allergies. Rest, drink water and keep lips moistened.
Regards
