<p>Anyone have any recommendations for a portable room humidifier for travel? Not a voice steamer, but something one can leave running in the room to increase the room's moisture content.</p>
<p>I see no one has responded. I think probably this is not seen as too much of a problem for most - but I do know what you mean about those electric heating units near the windows at many hotels. They can create a very dry heat. So, this might sound overly simple, but I have sometimes dampened a towel and put it on or near the blower. For longer stays a shallow dish of water on the heater will do as well. In any case, I think any discomfort is easily overcome with a hot steamy shower before you leave for the audition. Good Luck.</p>
<p>Thanks mtdog71 - good tips. We are definitely not used to forced-air heat as we have natural gas. We went to an audition last weekend and were raisins in the morning!</p>
<p>Our local CVS (an eastern drugstore) has little humidifiers that you fill with a bottle of water. It works nicely in a small space. You just need to be sure to keep it clean. I imagine it won’t survive for a real long time, but it would be nice for travel…</p>
<p>Thanks snoggie - I found one . . . <a href=“http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000UB8358[/url]”>http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000UB8358</a> It’s a good size so should pack well. I’ll let you all know how it works!</p>
