i sing..and if u work ur voice alot..for example ima cheerleader and i yell alot..is that good or bad for ur voice power? does it make ur voice stronger or weaker?

thx

If you yell a lot and you don't warm up your voice beforehand or have the proper RIGHT training, you will end up losing your voice. Sometimes temporarily, sometimes permanently. You have to take good care of your voice whether you are yelling cheers or belting out a tune.

Look at Kelly Clarkson, for example. She doesn't have a good trainer and she yells CONSTANTLY. She's already starting to lose her voice. It cracks everytime she performs.

Whitney Houston is beginning to have even more troubles with hers. No it's not because of the drug use, but it's because she's straining her vocal chords constantly. Years of abuse [vocal abuse, silly!] can have permanent effects you don't want to go through.
