Voice fatigue from screaming I've recently picked up scream vocals (about a week ago) and the first few days it kinda burned like I had low key strep throat. It went away the next day. so I kept tried again. I no longer have the burning sensation, but it now feels like I've lost my voice (from yelling at a concert or something for instance) I normally have a medium high voice when talking but now I sound like fucking Phil Anselmo. Along with that, when I sing, my voice gets very airy, and cracks when I go to about half way through my normal vocal range, unless I'm singing very loudly.

I usually do clean vocals so I'm worried if this is normal or if I've permanently damaged my voice. And yes, I am pushing with my diaphragm, not my throat. Any help or suggestions would help a lot. Thanks!
