Hi there, I m an amateur singer currently studying my a-levels. For several years my voice has always cracked when I get to a certain part of my range. At first I believed it was because I have never been trained to sing so I always thought it was my lack of technique. However, it is painful to sing and Im always trying to clear my throat because it feels like there is something on my vocal chords. I m always swallowing and constantly drinking water to try and clear it but it just doesn t make any difference at all. The crack is constant too, it never happens just once when I sing the high note, it always cracks. I m worried because my final singing exam is coming up soon and my throat is just getting worse. Thank you.
