Hi everyone. I purchased SS about a year ago, but have recently started doing the exercises diligently. I've been doing them every day for the last couple of months and have since noticed a huge difference in my voice. Due to bad singing habits my voice had been shot for the last 3 years, and am so grateful to this program for the improvement I have seen.
I do have a few questions that I wish some of you could answer. I am learning about my mix voice and I feel like it is coming along very well, but there a some things that I'm a little confused about.
1. What is the difference between constriction and compression? I hear a lot of you talk about these two things, but am not sure how it's supposed to feel.
2. How do any of these two things relate to the digastric muscles or the outer muscles of the larynx?
3. Is it possible to overwork the vocal cords/folds? I assume that since there are muscles that shouldn't be active in the singing process and some that should, the muscles that should be active could feel sore from the workout. How would this feel?
These are questions I am asking because I feel like my voice is a bit tired and I do feel a little soreness in my throat, but not sore in the area under the chin (I haven't been tensing up in this area at all.) However, I do feel a little tense where the neck meets my body, right in the middle of the throat.
Could someone please clarify?
Thank you so much,
Melissa
