Hi everybody...

I've been singing all my life but I started singing publicly at the age of 14...I'm 17 now and my birthday's on the 21st of this month. I just joined choir at the beggining of 2008 and my teacher was impressed by my voice but the thing is I haven't been singing the same since November of last year... She's put me in almost every choir at the school and my voice seems to be getting lower and weaker...and I don't do weak. Tenor lines seem too high and Bass lines too low...I want to rest my voice but right now I really can't because we have IMEA auditions at SUIC and I have to practice a lot to get into the Illinois state choir. Should I wait on the state choir? And how should I work on getting my voice back...I'm too young to strain my voice completely out aren't I?...They think i sound good now...I want them to hear me BLOW like I use to!
