Hi Peter,
I don't suppose you're just getting a little dry, eh? Does it happen on
high notes? Loud notes (Maybe all your notes are loud?)? Does it only
happen when you've been singing continuously for four or more hours? D'ye
know that the tenor Jose Carreras used to practice singing while tilling
the fields, on a tractor? So the story goes. What range of your voice do
you usually sing in? Does it happen a lot? john

>Good-ay, I'm Peter. Please excuse my manner but I'm not up with all this
cyber-space and email technology. I came across this address whilst looking
for infomation about a wee, but damn annoying problem that I am suffering
from. I'm a truckie, a couple of years ago to help me enjoy myself at work
a bit more, I started studying classical singing. I was having a ball
driving around the joint, singing my head off, practicing my lessons. Then
I developed, the only way I can explain it is an intermittant, short
burning sensation in my throat. No warning when it's going to hit. When it
does occur I have to immediately stop singing for a brief period and when I
start again I'm fine, most of the time. I've been to a throat specialist
who stuck a camera up my nose and down my throat to have a gander at my
vocal chords. I sang a little and the Doc reckons that all is well down
there as far as he's concerned. This is probably a long shot but does
anyone out there have any idea what my problem is? I really love singing
