singing concerns
hi i've been singing for about a month now, and am doing pretty good. my only problem is after about 5 minutes my neck starts to hurt, i get a little lightheaded and dizzy, and my sinus like tingle. i'm pretty sure i'm breathing right whats this all about?
I can't believe that we would lie in our graves,
dreaming of things we might have been.

the sore throat and the light-headednessare 2 seperate issues.
your throat hurts because you are not singing from your diaphragm, so you are straining your vocal chords. you should always be relaxed no matter how high or loud you are singing. this is especially important because you can do permanent damage if you are not careful.
the dizziness is due to improper breathing, but not in the sense you might think. it used to happen to me when i was first learing songs (classical songs not pop songs) that require a lot of air (loud songs, high songs, long songs...). when you first learn a song, it's not natural yet, so your breathing doesn't really have a pattern...it's almost like learning a strumming pattern for a song. if you breathe too much or not enough, or in an uneven rhythm, the lack and ruch of oxygen to your head can make you dizzy.
keep practicing...

"Forget about what you are escaping from," he said, quoting an old maxim of Kornblum's. "Reserve your anxiety for what you are escaping to."
