I am an aspiring opera singer: I take private voice lessons and only practice about an hour per day but lately I have been experiencing fairly sharp pains on my vocal chords after singing. These pains usually do not last more than a few minutes but I am worried that they might be a sign of possible voice damage. Is this something every young singer goes through or is it a serious cause for worry?
