Woke up this morning with some really bad swelling. I didn't even have to start talking to know that my voice was swollen. I had refluxed, and part of me wonders if my swelling was so bad because I over sang a little yesterday.
I did very gentle exercises today, not putting any pressure on my voice, even if that meant that no sound came out at all. I did a lot of panting to help loosen up the vocal folds as well. Thought sneezy breaths.
I've been thinking back on my voice lesson with Thomas Glenn, and after several days of deliberation, I've decided that I wasn't necessarily pressing my voice to get the projection I wanted, but as I started practicing to get that same resonance, I start pushing with my breath, and that's where my problems started.
I still have that weird muscle twitch in my neck that periodically comes and goes. Don't know what it is, but it doesn't seem to be hurting my singing in any way or affecting my technique... Weird.
