Summer is here in just eight more days and the weather is doing exactly what it is supposed to. Today I am feeling a bit beat because I missed a jam session two days ago because my voice is hoarse. I’ve been singing too hard and I strained my vocal cords to the point where they feel raw and sore. I need to change the way I sing and not be so rough on my voice or it isn’t going to last much longer. I need to go with a smoother singing voice from now on, and work on heating up my singing before I sing hard. I need to do some scales and warm up my voice a bit more than I have been, but at least the problem is solvable. The heating corp owner had the same problem in his band years ago while singing for some HVAC workers at a party and he told me that you need to pay attention to your voice while singing so as not to strain it too much. I was a bit reckless with my singing and now I will change it so my voice doesn’t get so destroyed from doing what I love to do. My cooling contractor bandmate doesn’t seem to have a problem with his voice, cooling it down after each session properly, something that I need to learn how to do. I will maybe go get some singing lessons soon and see if they can help me with my issue. And the local business near my flat does just that.
