How do I hit high notes when singing?
I'm not sure if this is a local theatre thing, but when singing high notes, we use what is called a head voice where we imagine the sounds to come out of the top of your heads. One practice to get there is to start with your chest voice and move progressively higher. You'll notice the difference where the sound is coming from. Another way to do it is to mimic micky mouse's high pitch voice, and then try doing it without squealing. Also by looking down, you can hit a few more higher notes and you can hit lower notes by doing the reverse
Why can't I hit high notes when im singing?
Unfortunately, some notes may be naturally out of your range. But by practicing, you can extend your range. Also, some tips: Open your mouth super wide. Your soft palate (the soft part of the roof of your mouth) should go up. Try yawning-- it goes up when you do that. People always say it should feel like your mouth is a cavern or that you can fit a tangerine in it! Use breath support. Breath support comes from using your diaphragm, the thing under your lungs, so that when you breathe, your stomach moves instead of your shoulders. This is called "breathing low". If you lay down, you can only use low breaths. Try singing laying down to know what it feels like. Also, try letting go of the tension in your neck. If your voice is hoarse or you have a smaller range of notes than usual, try resting your voice. The singer's sins are: Screaming, whispering, and using your voice too much. While screaming is obvious, whispering surprises some people. The strain it puts on your vocal cords. Also, drinking uncaffeinated tea with honey helps. Dairy products create mucus in your throat, which distorts the sound. Good luck advancing your singing!
Singing - strong voice but can't hit high notes?
I love to sing and I'm pretty good at it. I have good range, but i tend to sing a little lower because it just sounds better. I've been told I have a unique tone, something sounding similar to Christina Aguilera. (If you know her voice I think you know what I mean.) The only thing is, I CANNOT hit higher notes. I have a very strong voice meaning I am able to hold notes/belt them. But I feel like I am not reaching my full potential because I struggle with the really high notes, someone with my kind of voice is expected to hit. My voice just always cracks. Will I eventually be able to hit them? I've never had any professional help so I need some advice!
How do you sing high notes?
As Rob Kerr said, in the top of your range it will probably never be effortless same way as the most comfortable part of your range. You can learn to make them more consistent, and done in a healhy way without wrong kind of tension/strain, but singing the very top notes will always require concentration and muscle work. For some voices they come easier than others.Learning is a process, and there is no magic formula that can be put in a simple Quora answer. But I try to give some ideas.Some things to pay attention to:Good body connection, but without pushing. Mental images like thinking down when the melody goes up help some people.The key to good high notes is how you manage the upper passaggio (register change going to head voice). Work the upper middle range first. When you can sing those notes smoothly and freely, you can go up.You need to open up more resonance space (high wide soft palate, open throat) and open your jaw (it is individual how much depending on the anatomy)You can vocalize high notes in many ways. Try some sirening exercises (gliding up-down or down-up between registers)It is easier to start with arpeggios than singing scales at the top of your range (in the beginning the upward scales tighten up easily). Or jump to the high note from 4th/5th below. You can do short staccato notes first just to reach them and find out how it feels, because it is harder to sing them sustained. Some find it easier to sing exercises with high notes from up to down hitting that high note first and then going down, because they get tense when they go higher from their "comfort zone". Also when you go straight to that note after breathing, you can prepare the body for the high note and open up resonance spaces with the inhale. Partly it is also a mental thing. If you are afraid of the high notes, it can create some tension that sabotages them. Try to not make it a big deal if it fails in some of the first attempts, or the quality is not consistent for a while. When you practice your top notes, don't overdo it. It takes time that all the muscle coordination that is required starts to function more consistently. Better to rehearse a short while well focused than repeat wrong functions.When you have a big high note in the music you sing, the critical thing to succeed is how you prepare them: how you take breath before that phrase and how you sing the notes before the high one. Your thought will be some steps ahead of the music.
How to sing high notes?
THE ONLY SAFE way to learn the correct singing techniques & to improve properly IS to take OFFLINE face-to-face singing lessons with a fully trained vocal teacher (in case you do not have a teacher yet)! The teacher HAS TO BE in the same room with you, so that he/she could give you proper feedback. Please do NOT rely on any dodgy web tutorials because that way you can misunderstand things VERY EASILY and develop bad habits, hoarseness, vocal nodules and other nasties IN NO TIME, and even though you would sound good! It is always much wiser to invest a little bit of your money/time to face-to-face lessons rather than wasting the same amount of money (or even more!) to frequent ear-nose-throat specialist visits due to aforementioned problems, so please reconsider this. If you can't afford vocal lessons, then joining a choir is the only SAFE alternative option. And believe me, but even MANY of those who have music as their hobby DO take lessons as well! Always remember to warm up your voice properly, but please know your limits and don't overdo your voice! Remember the diaphragmatic support, do not strain your throat too much! Also, remember good body posture! Avoid fizzy drinks (burp danger), dairy products (mucus risk), caffeinated products (coffee & tea included, they dry up your throat) and spicy food (irritation risk)! You can consume these things, but NEVER before singing! Do NOT shout, yell, scream nor otherwise abuse your voice AT ANY TIME! Also, please respect your vocal range; if your teacher says you are, say, more of an alto (baritone if you are male), then you ARE more of an alto (baritone). DO NOT try to imitate anyone famous, that will usually give you just bad habits and even damage your throat. You are YOU and your voice is unique, so please learn to cherish that. The world does NOT need copycats. Do NOT sing, whisper, shout, yell nor scream if having a sore throat/cold/flu, Also, do speak as little as you can if you have flu/cold/sore throat! Remember to drink at least 2 litres of room-temperature still water every day, not just during singing days! Smoking is a big no-no, as is inhaling secondhand smoke. Also, avoid staying in dusty and/or moldy environment.
I'm a girl, and can't sing very high notes :s?
There is nothing wrong with having a lower voice. Judy Garland (who I realize can hit high notes too), was basically an alto (I think the proper term for her voice is contralto, but alto is easier). Alto's get much less glory than Soprano's do, just like Basses get less glory than Tenors, and there is beauty in all the voice parts. I actually would kill to be a Alto, some of my favorite songs are sung by Alto's (I Dreamed a Dream from Les Miserables and On My Own also from Les Miserables). Alto's voices show emotion so fantastically, more layers of emotion anyway. Soprano's sing happy songs great, and sad songs sometimes great, but they typically don't get to do angry songs, or dejected songs, or bitter songs etc. Here is a link to a question I previously answered, that will provide you with vocal warm-ups and breathing techniques (this link is breathing techniques, the link at the bottom will take you to another question I answered with vocal warm-ups in the answer). And if you are really concerned with your ability, yes seek a professional, but you don't NEED to. You will NEED to eventually, but only if this is a career path you are thinking you would like to pursue professionally. Then you'll NEED voice lessons weekly, even when you are famous! http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;... Good luck!!!
