I see you know a lot of singing, and I need help.
I'm a soprano. Recently, something horrible has happened to my higher register. I can sing fine up to an F, but from G5 on up, my notes are sounding squawking, tight, and just no vibrato, whereas I used to have strong, lovely high notes with plenty of vibrato. I used to sing up to a High D…now, I can only sing to a High B. And I can only sing those notes on an open vowel, like “ah.” On “eh” or “ee” no sound comes out at all. I’ve checked, and it’s not because I’m not singing right. It’s something wrong with my voice. It’s been like this for about a month.
First of all, you should be singing ee through oo lips. So, if you can sing oh or ah, then you should be able to sing ee.
I suggest drinkning warm water with honey and lemon and gargling with salt water. After that, try to warm up. Do this for a week, and see if you can go higher. If not, then I suggest seeing a doctor.
