Help Please! Voice Problem?!

Hi,

for the past week, i've experience a slight tenderness in the throat, but not it's gone. The problem is that I found that something's wrong with my voice. When I speak, nobody notices any changes. I did some time ago, but now, everything seems to be normal again.


But the problem is that sometimes, when I "start" speaking, it feels like there's an air leak in my throat: meaning I let out a very quiet and hardly noticeable whistling sound. Then as I speak, everything seems to be normal. And that air leak doesn't happen always, maybe like 2 times out of 10.



When I emit a constant sound, meaning for example: aaaaaa - iiiiiii

i tried it last night, and the sound seemed correct and normal. But I noticed that whenever I do that while stretching my throat, meaning leaning my head back, the sound changes completely, and it turns into a somewhat breathy and weird voice. But it's not very breathy and very weird, I was comparing it to my "normal" voice.


For your information, i've been training moderately "hard" for a play, in which I had to speak in several different tones. And the throat tenderness occurred afterwards. But since two days ago, the tenderness is gone, and everything seem to be a lot better. Now, there's only that little air leak that troubles me.

Oh, and after I finish talking (usually varies from 1 to 10~15 minutes), I try to rest my voice, but then I feel this dull tenderness in my throat. It usually disappears in about 30-60 minutes after I stop talking. It's not really pain, just some kind of dull ache... I also noticed that when I talk, I sometimes run out of breath, even for short sentences. It doesn't look good, does it?

Can anyone help? Give advice?


Thanks!
