Non-singer here, trying to learn to sing. Question.

How much does your voice strain when you sing? Is it natural for your throat to be a bit under pressure while singing or is it all clear?

Also if you could recommend a YouTube channel or a few for complete beginners please share them.

There’s bound to be some pressure when you first start singing. Never do something that really hurts, but a little bit of strain after practicing for a while is normal. With more practice you’ll stretch your vocal cords and be able to sing for longer and hit different notes.

▪︎ My voice strain only if its a tone that doesnt fit me
▪︎ it can happens to a lot of singers if you use your voice not correctrly or if you just woke up or a lot or reasons

you have to exercise your stomach and make sure to relax your entire body, including your larynx

It's normal just don't push your throat over it's limits and you'll be good also make sure your not in a humid place it can mess up the airflow in your windpipes makeing it harder to sing also if your strainging your voice you might be going pass your limits it's good to stop every 30 minitues and take a 5 minitue break so your throat is fine and get lots of water in you! I've been singin since i was 13 i am now 18 so 5 years and i still struggle with these things it's hard to know what your capable of but if you don't try to see you'll never know your true potential,
