Question: I can't hit my high notes anymore!?
I love to sing!. My voice isn't amazing but some people have told me it sounds good!. I mostly just do covers of my favorite artists!. A few months ago I lost my voice and it took a week to get it back!. Ever since then, it's been hard for me to sing!. Every time I wanna go a little higher or get a little louder it just puts strain on my vocal chords!. Is it gonna be like this forever!? What happened!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

I wonder if you might be trying to sing out of your natural voice class!. That is the most common reason for untrained singers to have problems!. Just be sure the throat is relaxed and that you are not forcing the voice to register!. Try to do some vocalizing only on Italian vowels like ah, eh, ee, oh, and ooh!. Again, don't force your voice to register!. Use a keyboard if you have one available to help you sing scales and check your range!. When your voice goes out on you like that, you will not have full command over it again immediately when you get it back!. You will have to nurse it for a while in order to restore full function!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's not gonna be like this forever!. Loosing your voice is like any other injury, and it takes time to heal from!. Sing daily, slowly working your way though things like scales that let you monitor how high you're singing when, and do it daily like you would physical therapy on any body part that was injured!.
If it really really bugs you, get a singing coach (a professional, not a friend) and have them work with you on getting your voice back up to where it was!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

join the club!. the same thing happened to me!. what happened was i wasnt singing correctly and damaged my vocal chords!. make sure you know the proper way to sing or else it can permenantly effect you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

How old are you!?Because that happens when going through puberty!.If not,then maybe you might have a throat problem,and you should get it checked out!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
