  • Only time that happens if your singing from ur throat. You suppose to sing from your diafram.

  • wanna ask something..recently(actually today) I tried to hit D5 but always hit G5..is this consider a vocal damage??

  • this guy looks like horatios sanz!

  • @TheCheeseIndeed If by "belt" you mean "pushing my chest voice up to really high notes" or "yelling," then you're doing just about EVERYTHING wrong. Listen to gospel singers hitting high notes, or power pop singers (like Sum 41, the Offspring, Blink 182). They're actually using a very developed mix voice, they're not just yelling. You should train your voice instead of just expecting to be good automatically.

  • @Aldenif It would heal and return to normal. But you don't want to just jump back into it. Your voice will atrophy a bit from lack of use, so you want to build it again, slowly, over a week or two.

  • @kharlitoz This means you don't have proper cord closure. The remedy of this problem is to learn vocal compression.

  • @kharlitoz I have the same problem and my ent dr told me I had nodules on my vocal chords. He said nodules are essentially like callouses from overuse or abuse. I know mine are from belting without the proper breath support. see an ear nose and throat specialist and have them do a scope to see if you have vocal nodules. they can sometimes go away with vocal rest and sometimes need to be removed with a laser.

  • I had a Vocal Cord Infection... it was sooooo bad :( i'm gunna take better care of my gold cords ;)

  • @TheMnMEntertainment How can i achieve that?. What kind of exercises can i do?.

  • @kharlitoz Your chord closure is not complete.
