SINGING VOICE
I'm a singer, and recently my voice has been breaking a ton. Just a few months ago- i honestly DID NOT HAVE A BREAK! and I could switch registers so easily and perfectly without breaking. Now my head voice sounds all breathy and breaky and my chest voice breaks a lot too.
What happened? I got very sick a lot of times this year, could that have something to do with it? For a like maybe a month or 2after may, I wasn't singing very much, or at all... because I wasn't performing any or having voice lessons.
Do you think I can get my voice back to the way it was in december?
If I practice every day and do warm-ups will it go back to normal? After how long? or will it never be the same?

The answer to your questions depends a LOT on your age. If you're in your early teen years, your voice is probably growing/changing. Girls' voices change too, but not as dramatically as guys' do. Most girls go through a period where their voice is breathy and the vocal folds don't quite come together. Once the growth period is over it fixes itself.
If you stopped singing for a month or two, it could also have a major impact on your voice. Your technique probably changed - it's the effect of not working out for a month. When you get back to it, everything's really weird at first. You remember how to do it, but your muscles don't want to.
Most of singing is muscle memory. You have voice lessons to train your muscles to move a certain way (or NOT move a certain way, depending on which muscles where). Your muscles are stupid. They forget simple tasks, and it takes a little while to whip them back into shape. If you go back to practicing every day and warming up WELL, your voice should go back to normal within a month.
You should start taking voice lessons again if you can. Your teacher can help you.
Be nice to your voice - drink tea with honey, drink room temperature water when you're warming up, make sure you're hydrated.
If your voice doesn't go back to the way it was in a month, get checked out by an ENT - Ear, Nose and Throat doctor and make sure you don't have nodules on your vocal chords. (Those can be caused by like, viruses, singing with bad technique, etc...)
But in the meantime, try to get back into it. Start a workout routine with your voice, lol
Good luck. Lemme know if you need any other voice help, I went to college for vocal performance. (Doing an English major now, but that's what I went for!)

Being sick might have had something to do with it, but honestly, it just sounds like your voice is maturing. When you get into those early/mid teen years, your vocal chords change and so does your voice. Eventually you'll get the voice that you'll be stuck with for most of your life. It's a phase, I know it seems like it'll last forever, but it won't. Just keep warming up and practicing regularly.
You might want to talk to the person who gives you voice lessons and see if he or she has any advice on warmups that will do your voice good in its changing state.
Good luck!
