Hi all,

I've only just joined the list - so if my question is a bit off topic or
something then please excuse me! I say that because most of the messages
seem to be with reference to opera / classical style singing. However with
the wealth of vocal knowledge in this group I'm hoping someone will be able
to help me out!

Firstly when I'm trying to sing in a high note I can't get any clarity. I
can reach the note with respect to its tone, however it sounds like there is
a lot of air just slipping out that doesn't seem to be part of any
vibration. Like a sort of hissing sound but coming from the back of my
throat.

Also after about 3 minutes of singing I get an intense tickling at the back
of my throat and the after that can't continue. I just start coughing.

Any advice? Are there any exercises I should be doing?

Thanks
Richard
