There are many students that come in to a musical studio with a frustrated face because they were not able to sing the songs that they love most simply because the notes are bit too high for their vocal range. And so for some of these students to compensate, they push their selves too hard and even beyond their limits just to reach the notes, while others have somehow eased out and simply settled on a karaoke app to practice , “if only I had more power on my vocal registry, then I shouldn’t be dealing with this dilemma.” Vocal coaches are well aware of this event and they have set various ways to conquer such frustration. After all, singing has to be something where you find yourself having fun with.
The ultimate secret lies on maintaining a balance. And so whether you are seeking to belt with a more powerful and a song with higher notes, or you only wanted to add a few more notes to further add power on your range, then the following tips should be able to help you significantly on how you can improve your singing ability.
For starters, you need to know and understand the importance of keeping a steady flow of air so you can maintain a vocal balance.
As we go up in pitch, we begin to make some modifications on our technique. The classic singer will either thrust greater air to force their way through (often leading to stressing and scratching in the voice), or they will just back off, creating likely so a sound that’s close to being breathy. None of these are ideal actually. A great singer knows how to keep steady flow of air, ensuring that you keep the entire lines as connected as possible, and you will have much better luck on this department.
Second is that you need to rely on your resonance space in order to create a sound… and not pressing.
Taking this formula to mind:
More Resonating Space = More Sound Created.
Resonance space could be found in the following: chest, mouth, throat, and head. And so if your mouth is hardly opened up as you sing notes higher, then you’re actually and dramatically limiting the amount of sound which could have been more.
And so while we’re still at it, the topic of space that is, it is also important to remember that we need to narrow down the vowels, creating a more vertical space than a horizontal space… especially when you’re singing a song requiring a higher vocal register.
Well this is so because when a singer widens more the vowel in the upper part of their vocal range, then it is almost sure that the back of their mouth also widens. Whenever this happens, the tongue will then tense up and the larynx will escalate, throwing the entire vocal mechanism off balance. To fix this, you’ll only need to narrow your vowels. The best way around this is to bring the corners of your lips together and then feel more of the tall open space (most especially at the back of your mouth).
And so to clarify things, you can sing songs with higher note while you’re enjoying yourself. It’s simply easier at the start if you don’t.
