Thread Name: Singing problems......
Subject: Singing problems......
Hello,

I have been a singer for a number of years now and have recently started having some voice issues. I still have my range (low A to top C, Tenor/Counter Tenor) but i can only sing AAAAAAHHHHH. If i sing EEEEEEEEEE i can only reach an E or an F. Above this my voice cant settle and wobbles off the note no matter how hard i try to keep it there. I have seen three ENT doctors who say i have no nodules or polyps, but i have a very slight inflamation of the vocal chords ( i think this is a side effect of straining to sing EEEEE above the notes mentioned). I have taken 2 bouts of steriod, with 2 bouts of antibiotics. Also i have taken 3 different types of nasal sprays, i have steamed, i have used difflam and i have just rested (for over 6 months of no singing) and nothing has made a difference.

Does anyone have any ideas? FYI i am due to fly to italy tomorrow to start a new singing contract.

thanks in advance of anything useful anyone has to offer.

:)

by the way im 25. thanks.
