Home Forums Teacher Support & Exam Help Does anyone else who teaches a lot struggle from keeping their own vocal range in top shape? (Singing Teachers)

    Literally the exact same problem as you, word for word!

    I find getting vocal training myself is always useful. Getting another professionals perspective!

    The only thing is I think majority of vocal tutors where I live are not the best!!! I’m petrified that I am doing damage and could end up with nodules on the vocal chords!!! Xx

    Hey Lydia – sounds like something that you definitely want to get checked out. A couple of questions:

    Does it feel heavy and effortful when you sing (normally) on higher ranges?

    When you say ‘high notes’, do you mean the high notes of chest voice or the area when it flips over?

    Do you find making vocal fry(/creak) difficult?

    No usually I can slide to any voice chest/mixed/head with ease. I still can but the sound isn’t as strong and towards the high end of my range has suddenly disappeared! So yeah the part where it flips over! My throat seems to be getting really dry too all of a sudden!!! It’s not good!!!

    By getting it checked out what do you recommend? Ear throat nose doc?

    How about the last question of mine? That’ll tell us a lot.
