Is it bad to sing from your throat?
You should never sing from your throat—the power behind your voice is your breath, and your breath should be supported by your diaphragm. Sing from your core, allow your vocal cords to relax, and let your voice resonate in your chest, pharynx and face.
How do you know you are singing from your throat?
Yes your throat will vibrate as the vocal chords move. If you want to check that you are singing into mouth/nasal passages the easiest way is to put your hand in front of your mouth so you can feel the breath coming out. Put the other hand on your throat lightly.
Why do I sing in my throat?
When you sing, you may subconsciously feel that you need to control your voice with the muscles that you can consciously control. So you activate your throat muscles and this creates strain in your throat as you try to control the notes you sing.
