ending consonants
I have a big vocal range, but from the E (10 whole steps above middle C, on the higher part of the staff) on up, I can only sing vowels, like "ah" and "ooh" and "ee." I have to sing this song for a solo, and the phrase is "like a ship blown from its mooring" and I can't sing those ending consonants! It still like has a pitch, but it sounds like it's coming through my nose and I have to strain really hard and it sounds terrible! I mean, I can sing the note, but only on a vowel. Do you know what I mean? Can you help me?

Okay, first, stop straining. That's BAAAAD. Lol. Second, when you breathe in, you should feel like you're about to yawn, and when you sing, that "big-space-in-throat" feeling should stay there. You want to be using all your air, and don't be afraid to blast the high notes.
Who picked this song, you or your teacher? It's possible you just don't have those notes in your range yet. Range takes time to develop. I can hit a high E above the staff full-voiced, and I remember when I couldn't even hit the F IN the staff comfortably.
It takes time. Don't push yourself, or your voice. You could ruin your voice that way.
Concentrate on keeping the note feeling "low", if that makes any sense.
I suggest trying to find the piece in a different key, or try using more air, open your mouth more, and practice, practice, practice.
If you really want to improve your voice, I suggest you search for a voice teacher. They're amazingly helpful.
I hope this helped a bit!
