I'm a professional singer, this is an easy one if you know how. First whispering is worse for your vocal folds than speaking, never whisper when voice is gone. Steam is good, do it for 2 minutes as it's the fastest way to hydrate the vocal folds. A small pot with a lid, boil water to a fury so the steam lasts 2 minutes, take pot to below chin and lift lid a little, breath in slowly, replace lid and repeat for 2 mins. THEN, here's the part that works. Sing all 5 vowels in falsetto. Nothing may come out at first, start as high as you can, then go higher. Falsetto (head voice) realigns the vocal folds to proper position. Do this, with 10 second breaks as you'll feel it in your head, for 5-10 minutes. You'll find U, or oooos, are easier than AAAA's. Do all five until you can sing all five. The longer it goes you'll hear the rasp start to vanish, 15 minutes later voice is back. Once it is shut up for a couple hours if possible, and repeat singing part. (and steam if needed) I can take anyone from a Metal concert who screamed their head off the night before with no voice and bring them back to life, this is how, and I use it too if I didn't cool down after a show properly. (or had a Jack and Coke afterwards like I'm not supposed to)
