Learn how to sing better right now with our free report - "5 Tips To Sing I’ve heard stories from friends that say they leave vocal lessons with their throat throbbing. I promptly tell them that this is not good and they should talk with the instructor or even find a new instructor. It is never good when your throat is aching after a vocal session. You have most likely been pushing way too much air through your vocal cords or raising your larynx and have been causing unnecessary strain on your cords. Remember, as you ascend in your vocal range, your vocal cords thin out and require less air to produce tone. Don’t confuse less air with less support because a distinction can be made. You still need good support from your diaphragm to help you control and steady your tone, but less air to produce the tone as you go higher into your range. If you find yourself blowing out tons of air in your higher notes, you are not enacting correct vocal cord closure or vocal compression. The vocal cords are delicate folds of tissue that can easily be damaged if not taken care of properly. Nodules and cysts can form on your vocal cords if you strain and push your voice often, so be sure to take care of your cords by forgoing singing when your cords begin to get sore.
Remember, vocal health is vitally important to successful singing. If you ever begin to feel pain when singing, stop immediately!

Not bad article, but I really miss that you didn’t express your opinion, but ok you just have different approach
That’s true, you should never leave a vocal coaching session feeling hoarse however, as you know the vocal chords are a muscle, and like any muscle it is ok to work them like a muscle where the muscle feels like it has been worked. It’s how they grow

Vocal cords are a very delicate muscle so it can’t be treated like muscles such as biceps and quads. What you do to your vocal cords is teaching it the coordination to sing with least amount of tension. We sound so much better when we are relaxed so giving it unncessary tension is counter productive.
