Dear Everyone,
Lately, when I go into my upper range (for me, F5 to Bb5), I feel a
tickle in my throat. The area behind my tonsils gets irritated and
remains sensitive for several minutes. It is an unpleasant sensation
which makes it difficult to stay open.
It's a range I rarely use any more (I'm concentrating on alto
repertoire lately) so my technique is probably getting a little
sloppy up there. Still, I'd like to know the notes are going to be
there if I need them!
Does anyone have any experience/insight into this phenomenon? Maybe
it's just advancing age...
Thanks!
Tako Oda,
Countertenor
