A few singing questions - please help me!?!


Question: A few singing questions - please help me!!?
I have a few singing questions!. Please, if you have an answer to any of them, let me know! Thank you! =)

1!. What is riffing!? Would you please explain what exactly this is and how to do it!?
2!. After what note is a belting voice considered a "high belt"!?
3!. After what note is a head voice considered "high"!?
4!. How do I know if a voice teacher is good!?
5!. What are the qualifications for a note to be considered part of my range!? (besides not sounding screechy)

Thank you so much to anyone who can answer any of these questions!. =)Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
2!.) I think anything that's the C above middle C or above would be considered a fairly high belt!. If you can get a belt up to an E (comfortably and healthily, with voice instructor direction), pretty much any belting role is open to you, but that is a high note to belt!.

3!.) It depends on the person!. If you're a mezzo, then your high note tends to fall somewhere around the F below high C to the A below soprano/high C!. If you're a soprano, it'll be more like high G and above, though roles RARELY require a soprano singer to go higher than high C!.

But if you're talking more generally, you'd generally start using the word "high" in front of the note name at the F below middle C (at the top of the treble clef)!. So, for example, you'd say, "high G" to refer to the G below high C!. (Remember this is all referring to head-voice terms!.)

High C is also different for women than it is for men!. High C for women is two octaves above middle C, and for men, it's one octave above!.

5!.) If you can sing it (not just hit it) without straining your voice at all!. If you feel like you have to really, really reach to get that note, it's not in your range!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Riffing is improvising in the form of short, rhythmic, usually repeated phrases!. A note is part of your range if you can hit it and feel fairly comfortable with it!. In other words, you could perform a song in which you had to hit that note and sound reasonably good!. A voice teacher is good if they have at least a master's in music and have a good reputation!. also, they should be good singers themselves!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

1!. riffing - i guess i could best explain this by saying - listen to mariah carey - she does it A LOT!. it's improvising notes quickly in a song - it's good for an accent in a song - but sounds bad when it's overdone or you don't really know where you're going with the notes
2!. there really isn't a particular "note" that is the cut off - it all depends on your range - sit down next to a piano and start hitting keys and belting notes going higher and higher - the last one that you can successfully hit while still in your chest voice is your highest belt note - I would say a high B is pretty up there
3!. same thing!.!.!.essentially - I couldn't tell you which notes would be considered "high" in a head voice because most female singers can get pretty up there even if they don't usually sing high
4!. if you're improving! make sure to have someone with no financial interest in your success - and who KNOWS music - listen to you sing every once and a while - make sure they're honest!.!.!.if they notice improvement, you've got a good teacher!.
5!. i qualify notes in my "range" not just because i CAN sing them and they sound good - but if they're comfortable too!. there are notes that you will be ABLE to sing but that are still a strain on your voice!. continue up the scale and down until you reach notes that don't sound "bad" but that your voice is straining to reach - that is your range and you should stick with it for the most part!. use the notes slightly outside it when you want to be dramatic :)

hope this helps!Www@Enter-QA@Com
