Seriously; I have a question for anyone here who can sing and has formal training or not. I'm pretty much an okay vocalist,but lately; whenever I try to sing or even talk; my voice cracks, and it actually hurts to speak. I can't even sing on key hit notes as high or as low as I normally would. I could upload a snippet but it's embarrasing considering I'm a good singer, and the audio clearly would disagree.

Can anyone help me?(Besides a doctor because they suck)

Drink hot water. Breathing exercises. Don't try to push your voice farther than what you know your limitations are (stretching it is okay, but when it's not in good shape, probably a bad idea). Resting it. Swim. Don't scream too much. Don't squeak purposely or do retarded things with your voice.

Just random things off the top of my head.

Thanks EJ

Whenever my voice is in bad shape I always drink... Throat Coat Tea it helps a lot.

If this is a reoccuring thing... don't hit notes you can't hit. If you're straining to hit those notes it will damage your voice. To hit those higher notes properly you have to breathe VERY deep, and have straight posture. And yeah... what EJ said.

Umm most of the time a person's voice might crack because they didnt take a big enough breath, so maybe breathe more i guess.
