Members m26uk Posted July 31, 2010 Members Share Posted July 31, 2010 hey everyone, for the last 3 weeks ish my singing voice has not been up to scratch, its slightly crackly, and not sounding as smooth also it feels like certain notes are not coming out properly, it also gets weak quite quickly. when usually it would be fine. and after i feel dry and hoarseish. admitiley I do feel a bit bunged up in my ears if you know what I meana and I think I have been suffering a bit with hayfever, sometimes sneezing, and feeling bunged up. but its been like it for a while, and i've not had this before like this. any ideas???

Moderators davie Posted July 31, 2010 Moderators Share Posted July 31, 2010 some sort of allergy maybe? upper respiratory tract infection? if you're concerned then you should go get it checked out by your doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ido1957 Posted July 31, 2010 Members Share Posted July 31, 2010 Davie's right - see the doctor and it sounds like allergy/cold/infection. Maybe take a rest until you get a diagnosis so you don't do any straining... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members YeahDoIt Posted August 2, 2010 Members Share Posted August 2, 2010 I think part of the problem is the heat. It's the middle of summer. When I sing my throat partially closes down after about three songs, I feel hot, I'm coughing and sweating all over the guitar. I think there are lots of allergies too, mold spores, pollen, my neighbors are sneezing and coughing also. I think part of being a singer is managing all the challenges. I heard somewhere that drinking ice water, or cold things shocks the vocal chords and reduces performance. I drink ambient temperature water between songs. There are outdoor festivals his time of year and it's challenging to sing out in the heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members m26uk Posted August 2, 2010 Author Members Share Posted August 2, 2010 Yea I think I've got some pollen allergy or something, its really annoying cause I want to practice my singing, I might invest In one of those sinus pot things!
