Oky I help you how to hit the high notes I give a steps, tips & warning in hitting the high notes:
Steps:
1. Warm up your voice! Warm ups can include humming your favorite song or singing something like "row, row, row your boat." Another great exercise for range increase includes humming your lowest note, then moving up to your highest and back down like a siren. Do it a few times, and you should already notice a difference.
2. Breathe correctly. You should be breathing with your diaphragm, in other words, your chest shouldn't move, and your belly should move out when you breathe in and in when you breathe out. Stand up straight, and try singing some quick "ha, ha, ha" to feel quick the quick puffs of air that come right from the lower parts of your belly. This is called "support" of the voice.
3. This allows for the best quality and will help you move through your notes more easily.
4. Start in the middle of your range and sing higher and higher. Keep singing along the notes scaling up and down. Never strain your voice. Your throat should not hurt. Drink enough warm water to hydrate your vocal chords.
5. Repeat throughout a period of time until you get the desired results.
6. The secret of getting very high notes with ease lies in a simple "yawn". Next time you yawn naturally, try making a sound. This very open feeling in your throat, accompanied by vocal support in the belly, is the basis for good singing. Now try to sing "ah" with this yawning technique, making certain that you feel completely loose and comfortable in your throat. You will find that, if you simulate a real yawn, you can gradually reach higher and higher notes with no feeling of discomfort whatsoever.
Tips:
1. Get a voice teacher to help you. You are more likely to accomplish something with a professional at your side. If you can't get a voice teacher, you'll have to work at home. It would be best to have some instrument at your side that will go high. The best choice would be a piano or keyboard if one is available.
2. Practice, practice, practice!!!
3. Do this quietly at first, remember, you're just working for quality, not how loud you are.
4. Remember, your range can only go as far as you were born to have, a female soprano will never be a bass. You should be able to have at least 2 octaves with work.
5. These same tips apply for singing low notes, except play low notes with your instrument.
6. Use warm ups that concentrate on the front of your mouth and lips to bring the sound out of your throat.
7. Another Good Technique for singing high notes is to first sing as low as you can go, this streches your vocal chords so that when you sing higher they don't tighten as quickly increasing your range. Never strain when singing below your range as your voice may crack, causing you to lose your high notes.
8. An easy way to know that you're producing your high notes correctly is to place a finger on your larynx (voice box or "Adam's apple"), then sing up a scale to see if your larynx moves up higher on your neck. If so, this is the INCORRECT method. This is the most common mistake made by amateur singers.
9. Also, yawn. This sensation should be acquired when singing... especially high notes. Combined of course with support from the belly up. Pretend you're shirtless in front of someone you want to impress. Tighten up your abs... that is the feeling of support.
Warnings:
1. Never strain! Your head should always be in a normal position, and should never move up or down for note purposes.
2. Be sure to warm up your voice, it will allow best results and will help prevent injury.
3. Do not sing too much (if at all) if you have a sore throat. You're more likely decrease your range than increase it.
4. If you feel any pain in your throat, stop!
5. If you really like a song, but you have to 'step the song down' by transposing to avoid losing your voice, if at all possible, do that. It is not a sign of weakness, you may be sensible by doing that, or just do a different song altogether.
6. The voice you hear in yourself is not the one being projected outside so try recording your self sing and improve from that standard.
7. Most important of all? Concentrate on singing, and only singing. Keep remembering the ease you need to feel in singing, and the pitch you are trying to produce -- not what you'll be doing later in the day!!!
Oh I forget don't drink cold water if you like to sing too much or if you are finish in singing, you can just drink a cold water if you are not singing too much & don't forget to record yourself maybe hitting the hight notes is not only the problem maybe if there is some problem in your voice, so don't forget to record your voice so you can know the problem.....
That's all for now I hope I help you alot....
Goodluck B-)
