I am a mezzo and very comfortable in middle range, but I am trying to develop my high register. I get a very tired sore throat after I practice, is this normal?

    From one mezzo to another...there's a reason we're mezzos; we're not comfortable being in our top registers for very long. It's okay to practice and develop it, but sing other stuff that uses your low and middle registers too.

    You should never feel discomfort after singing that means your using the voice incorrectly.Try thinking of your voice as light make sure your soft palate/jaw is dropped your mouth doesn't nessecarily have to be wide open. Imagine your voice as light not in color or tone but in strength use the least amount of pressure & let it flow . Go easy do some staccatto notes / quick and short closed vowels such as ee's to vocalize softly and go higher in range.When you are singing high it should not be felt in your throat try to feel the sensations through out your head and primarily on the roof of your mouth. I am a spinto soprano(the above helped me get higher). I'll spare you the details of my range since you didnt ask. Sincerely good luck with those notes be patient they take some time to strengthen and develop.

    No, you are straining and thus, you are hurting your voice. You might not have learned the break between registers. For example, my actual speaking voice is alot lower than my soprano voice. It sounds like I would sing alto (I can sing bass, tenor, and alto quite easily - but I am using a version of my talking voice). When I go into my upper range, I use the head voice and let my notes become lighter and resonate. ( I have a 3+ octave range if that helps).
