Why is my voice cracking?!


Question: Why is my voice cracking?
Hi, I'm a singer- well not professionally or anything, just in my spare time I sing to myself- and recently my voice has been cracking. Not cracking like when a teenage boy goes through puberty, but like when my tone gets loud, my voice kind of cracks, not so much that its sounds scratchy, but the tone gets different. I drink quite a bit of pop, but in the past week I've been drinking only water. This has never happened to my voice before, and I'm just worried. I'm just wondering if there is anything to do for myself. Wither its practice, water, or anything else. Please help! :)

Answers:

See your health care provider as soon as possible (primary care doctor for referral), for consultation. This could be vocal cord nodules and polyps problems. Vocal cord nodules and polyps are non-cancerous growths that produce hoarseness. Vocal cord nodules and polyps are similar conditions that develop mainly from abuse of the voice (prolonged singing or shouting). Chronic irritation of the larynx, such as occurs with inhalation of cigarette smoke or industrial fumes, or backflow (reflux) of stomach acid at night may also cause a nodule or polyp to form. See a doctor.
I hope this helps you. And good luck.



if you have sang before in the same way and your voice hasn't cracked but is now suddenly cracking, then your vocal chords may be changing. girls voices change as well as boys, but the boys change is much more intense. If you've sang like that for the first time, then you can't hit that tone and need to have lessons or practice doing it more till you can.
