Practicing Too Much

There is such a thing as practicing something too much. Today, I realized that and I learned it the hard way. I'm constantly singing songs from Kiss Me Kate so I make sure I know my vocals and sometimes I push myself. I sing the high notes too many times because I don't like the quality or I'm not holding it out long enough or I hiccup in the middle of the high note. Overall, pushing yourself to practice is a good thing but to a degree. You don't want to exhaust yourself. If you're already exhausted from something else, it doesn't help either. I was exhausted from merely surviving the day at Herricks High School, which is rough since we have one of the longest school days on Long Island and singing too much definitely did me no good and did absolutely nothing good to my throat. So, my throat is killing me know and I am going to take it easy.
