Sore throat

Proftrh

Hi all! I just began the KTVA about a week ago...and I notice my throat is sore after practicing each day. Sore meaning it feels a bit raw and I feel like I must clear it more often. Is that normal?

Feeling like you need to clear your throat may be a little bit of swelling on your vocal cords. That would normally be an indication that you may be singing with a little too much volume. Try to monitor yourself and bring the volume level down just a bit, until you no longer have this feeling. It may take a few days to go away.

Otherwise, it's normal to feel like you've worked out muscles that haven't yet built up to the challenge, like going to the gym for the first time and being a little bit sore until your body gets used to working out regularly.
