I need to fake a cough for the next few weeks/months for reasons of my own.

Does anyone have advice on accomplishing this? i.e how to make the cough sound authentic, things you can eat/drink that induce actually coughs, or irritate your throat.

Acting lessons.

Don't go over the top. Overacting will make it seem to obvious.

Just cough? It's not like it's difficult. 0.o

Faking a cough, perhaps requested for nefarious purposes, isn't really an appropriate topic for the forums.



More seriously this thread runs pretty close to our restriction on medical threads and similar threads in the past have attracted a lot of stupid suggestions and other problems.
