Trevor,
One consideration is subglottic pressure, or the amount of breath "flow" you allow through your vocal cords. In operatic, or classical, singing there is usually a greater amount of subglottic pressure. This makes the sound louder, and also has a tendency to make the pitch go sharp. Most good singers learn to compensate for the change in pitch when you add subglottic pressure. It could be that you are lessening that pressure, but not adjusting for the pitch.
