I use my diaphram and relax my shoulders, but singing loud gives me horrible headaches.

WHen that happens my teacher told me that it doesnt matter if you are using your diaphram ....it means you are not breathing right...even tho you are using ur diaphram... you should try breathing exercises and going from loud to low and see what happens...

That's really strange. My only thought is that you might be dehydrated, or you might be singing too loudly in too small of a room. Other than that I have no idea. I have a powerful voice, so singing in my room, which is really small, was a real problem LOL but I've never gotten headaches from singing. You might want to go see a doctor, no joke. Or at the very least talk to a voice teacher

TOO MUCH MUSCLE.
Breathing properly isn't the only important thing. If your throat is not relaxed, all the breath support in the world will not prevent the strain to your instrument. Also, how much time do you spend doing breathing exercises? Singing loud requires a lot of air, NOT MUSCLE, and if that's not something your body is used to, your headache may be the result of a different oxygen ratio then your body is accustomed to. Panting exercises might help.

I actually agree with what Charlee Brwon said, with the addition that you need to learn to sing "ee" vowel with closed cords. The basis for all professional singing is closure of the cords, which can only be acheived by learning ee vowel and incorporating that into your other vowels. This will give you power and high sound quality. The rest of the shaping of the vocal tract as described in the other message is correct to gain resonance, which is the other ingredient to development of a powerful voice. Unfortuinatly, you cannot leasrn these on your own. You must find a GOOD voice teacher who has performed. These are rare and usually expensive, but well worth it.

TMJ is a disorder that 1 out of 3 people have. It is when the joint the connects your jaw to your skull wears away. When you sing, your jaw is very active. If you do have TMJ (you can ask your doctor or dentist to check for it), than the headaches are simply the symptoms. Other symptoms include a popping sound produced when you open your mouth too wide, and a ringing in your ears. If these match you, definately get checked, because if untreated, TMJ will lead to arthiritis, worse headaches, and other adverse symptoms.

You could be clenching in your throat. You can still be using your diaphragm, but if you aren't mixing your technique with your emotional ability, there is a good chance that you are clencing the muscles in your throat. Try singing in the mirror and if you see veins popping out of your throat, then to remember to allow the sound to move freely through the throat for relaxation and optimal vibration on your chords. Good luck.

singing requires no work at all by the throat... all it takes is plenty of air, a strong diaphragm, and basically focusing on what you need the sound to do.
this happens to me though, too. whenever i push the sound, and force it to that place where it almost hurts, it ends up giving me a headache. it's not really good for your voice, but it depends on what you are singing.
but take care of your voice. if you push your voice too much, it'll just damage your chords and make you feel like crap. rest your voice often and don't force the sound too much.

You could be resignating in your head too much. Try opening your throat more and closing off your nose for every consanant but N and M. . If this doesn't help, just carry lots of tylenol!

When you use large amounts of air your blood lvel looses oxygen which is what is making your head hurt.Try holding a note for as long as you can every day. that will help
