If you’re looking for opportunities to talk loudly and at great length, try signing up for a public speaking class or simply holding conversations in a crowded bar or club.
Obviously, you’ll want to make it a point to avoid performing warm-up exercises before you sing. If you’re embarrassed to sing loudly, try singing in the car with all of the doors closed and the windows rolled up. Other motorists will assume you’re just singing along to the radio.
As with shouting and singing, excessive coughing in the long term can cause lasting pain and damage to the throat.
If you’re worried about how you’ll look after adopting a “slack-jawed” look, try sleeping with your mouth open instead so that no one will see you.
Be reasonable when it comes to this rule - don’t avoid any source of moisture to the point that you become dehydrated. If you’re looking for a water alternative that will wear your throat out further, try a drink that’s acidic or contains dairy (see below for more info).

If you’re worried about bothering people with your yelling, try attending an event where people are encouraged to yell, like a sporting event or rock concert.
It may go without saying, but, to be perfectly clear, it’s never a good idea to knowingly expose yourself to serious diseases. Use common sense.
If you have a serious allergy, don’t flirt with danger by triggering an allergic reaction simply to lose your voice. Severe allergy attacks can be fatal.
Keep in mind, however, that you put your voice at risk by doing so. Wearing your voice out (especially doing so over and over again over a long period of time) can cause permanent vocal damage. For example, many once-powerful singers find themselves with diminished abilities after years of vocal fatigue.
