to make our voices work, we use all the little inteconnected muscles surrounding the voice box!. when we let this little wonderful machine do its job the way it was meant to, we rarely feel anything going on!. The minute, or even, the second we try and do something that's not really meant to be done, we start to put strain on this apparatus!.
Strain can take many forms, but they generally fall into two or three main categories:
1) we don't fuel our voices by using good breath support!.
( without an air flow, we don't get much sound generated at all!.) since the air needs to move to make the vocal cords vibrate, if no air comes through, we start to compensate by using the muscles surrounding the larynx to do this job!.
You get vocally tired very quickly, your throat hurts, you get hoarse!.
2) we try to exert too much strength to make the larynx do its job!. Would you rip open your computer and trash the chips in there, just to make this program work!? Me, either!.
The larynx is built to do its job just perfectly!. As a matter of fact, we cannot control any of those little muscles in there consciously, so if we do try to do something, it's guaranteed to jam the works!. Leave it alone! Let it do the job it was built to do! Get out of the way!
3) a combination of both
This is why singing lessons are a good idea- there's someone there who can tell you what it is you are doing, and why or why not you should be doing it!. ( it's one reason why I'm against CDs or DVDs for lessons, it's just not personal enough for your exact needs)Www@Enter-QA@Com

Straining your voice is when you are singing way too long or too much and you won't rest it!. Some people do this just to be in a different range!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
