Up to 2 months ago, if I had to sing a C5 I preferred to sing "please" or
"Si' (italian Yes)" than "mine" or "far", now I fear "please".
Why this change on that vowels?
I have to go, on 11 Nov, to a ENT, but in the meantime I'd like to have an

This is happening most likely because /i/ and /u/ induce vocal fold
lengthening and any swellings that may be there would interfere with that
type of production.
