Hello dear listers, My name is Marina and it is the first time I'm writing to the group. I am a 28 years old soprano, basicly singing Baroque an Classical music. Two years ago I had a problem with my voice: after a tonsillitis, I begun to hear a sort of "Crack" in my low notes, a sort of laryngeal noise that was not controllable. People couldn't hear it outside, but for me it was terrible. It sounded like that: "Trk-trk-trk-trk"... I had to go on singing anyway, and, a few months later, the problem became worst and the crack appeared on many notes, even on the high ones, not only on the lower ones. I went to the doctor and he told me I had a tear ( but it was a little one ) in one of my vocal chords and that I had to avoid singing for awhile.
Now I began to sing again but the "Crock" is still coming some days, after 2 years, so I am very worried: I don't understand what exactly causes it and how I can definitively solve the problem. The doctor himself had told me that it was basicly a technical problem (breath support and cover of sounds, he said), but this is not so clear for me, as I sang for 4 years very softly without hearing any crack, and after the tonsillitis the problem started. Has any of you had the same problem? Any suggestions ? I would be very grateful if anybody could tell me how that hated "Crock" works and how I can avoid it completely. It really upsets me. P.s- I observed that if I "push" my voice out, the problem doesn't appear, but the sound of my voice is very forced and I don't like it. I love soft voices. Thanks for your help. Marina
