Voice wears out quickly after falsetto even when not pushing it

NoviceSinger

I'm still slowly developing more proper technique and without falsetto I can sing for fairly long periods of time without strain, however with falsetto even when I don't push and keep it gentle it doesn't take long to get the classic build up of mucus/irritation.

Of course the main thing is probably still incorrect technique, however I'm also wondering could it be a lack of warming up enough or anything else? Any advice is appreciated.

are you warming up? it is likely tension and straining that produce the sensation you describe. it would be good to post a sample of your falsetto in order to tell you more

I do the vocal siren warm up for like 5-10 minutes, the only time I really sing is to record an original song and my vocal melodies are often very staccato. The only examples I have of my falsetto are in my tracks so I'm not sure if any processing on the vocal would mask technique. I used falsetto briefly in this song for example: https://youtu.be/rg9ZrPySpi0
