In a dilemma
Aug. 11th, 2004 04:48 pmNot sure what to do. My voice has improved a lot since I quit smoking, but it still breaks up sometimes during high notes. I've been wondering if I should have a doctor look at my vocal cords. So I was singing scales (or half scales) earlier in the hopes of finding the spot where it breaks up, and of course, it didn't break up at all. I don't know whether I should call the doctor or not.
I also tested my range, and while I still have a two-octave range, it's shifted a lot lower. I'm singing in alto range (and a little lower!). When I was younger, I was a first soprano, so I've lost high notes and gained low notes.
I also don't know when to contact the voice teacher. I also think that the dental work that I'm going to have done will cure my intermittent sore throats, but that would push me into October.
Maybe I should wait until the end of the month and see what shape my voice is in then. If it still breaks up, then I'd go to the doctor. At that point, I'd contact the voice teacher.
Any thoughts on what I should do?
