Singing can be difficult

I did a four hour set last night. I enjoy singing, I'm not complaining. Still, I forgot to look after my voice throughout the evening. I started with some acoustic songs (Golden Touch, All You Need Is Love), and then some quieter ones with backing tracks (Come Back and Stay, Tempted, Yellow), but they have high-pitched vocal melodies and I hadn't warmed up. Consequently, I began to get a little croaky around 11:30, which is early for me. That means picking songs that give my voice a break (Bohemian Like You, Make Me Smile), and avoiding songs with falsetto in them, because that's gone. It's not that anyone else noticed, but it matters to me.
