I hit high notes easily, can I still be straining my voice?
I breath form the diaphragm
Keep my chin down
Never force a high note
Yet, I feel a dull burning or itching in my voice box not the throat.
I sang for about an hour today, I hit a lot of e6 and higher in my natural soprano voice. Did I just sing too much, or is it still possible that I am singing the high notes incorrectly? And before anybody starts bitching about getting a vocal instructor, I have one, but he is not available at the moment.

When you sing super high notes, your voice does go into a small 'chipmunk' like voice, which can cause discomfort by how small your voice has to position itself in. Maybe after a long time of using that 'small position', you could get some discomfort.
If those notes are your highest notes, I don't think you could mess up the phonation and still sing them. But on the other hand, people always manage to mess up in every little increment; meaning it could be a very minor problem. I can't say for sure.

Any sound whatsoever affects a voice box. But the human body is so amazing that it can usually withstand high pitches. Though constant singing and constant high pitch can eventually put a strain on your vocal cords. But I wouldn't truly worry unless your stressing your voice like Steven Tyler or something. Keeping hydrated also help with room temperature water.
