I have a low voice. When I sing high songs by Queen, my Adam's Apple goes us 1.25 in. Is this bad? Advice?

My throat hurts when I hit particularly high notes, and sometimes becomes a little hoarse. I usually stop singing when this happens. Is it really bad for my throat? Do I have a raised larynx? Are these connected in anyway? Will it adversely affect singing ability?I have a low voice. When I sing high songs by Queen, my Adam's Apple goes us 1.25 in. Is this bad? Advice?
Your larynx is raised and you have tension in your throat and jaw.





Try relaxing your jaw and using your lower abdomen to sing. Your lower abdomen is the gasoline that helps your breath resonate into your facial bones and out. Your vocal chords should not be involved in any way while you are singing. I believe that you are trying to create sound in your throat and your vocal chords are slamming together (hurting) when you vocalize. You are probably not releasing your jaw when you try to hit the higher notes - so open your mouth. Also the higher you go, the more abdominal support you need.





You can do major damage if you continue to sing your way because it will cause nodes (calluses) on your chords and you won't be able to sing properly. Nodes can be treated in two ways: silence or surgery.





If you really want to learn how to support your breath properly find a voice teacher who can help you ';belt'; in a healthy way and be conscious of your technique until it becomes muscle memory.

I sincerely ignore it. Myself, and although I don't think my voice can be classified as ';low';, I get very frustrated when trying to sing along with Chris Cornell...





Another one of those is ';What a fool believes'; by the Doobie Brothers. I can do the backing vocals, but my throat must hate me afterwards.





As for the adam's apple, I haven't noticed any displacement.





Perhaps pushing with your diaphragm might help a little bit, but basically I think its genetics.





Sorry.
I know how you feel, I have a low voice as well. I also love singing queen songs, let's face it, guys like us aren't meant to sing Freddie Mercury's parts!
dont sing high if you have a low voice. find something else to do besides watch your adams apple?
When I was in high school, I tried to avoid drinking soft drinks because they said it would hurt my voice. Now that I've got a masters in music, I smoke cigars because I've realized that no body really cares about the fine details of the quality of my voice- they only care about my musicianship- and the cigars only help that.





Yes this will hurt your voice. You're a low singer- Freddie Mercury was a high tenor. But rest it for a couple of days, and do it agian till it hurts again. You're adams apple will raise, there is probably no physical was to do without lifting your adams apple- I'm a bass, and mine moves around quite a lot too. Of course there are ways to hit higher notes without this tension in your voice, but then you wouldn't sound like freddie mercury. My advice- enjoy music.
