Ready To Sing Vol 2- Exercises To Strengthen & increase your RangeDon't You Strain
First of all it is important that we all understand what straining is. Straining occurs when the muscles in the throat tense\Close-up, and prevent air from passing and carrying sound. The result of this is poor sound quality, cracked notes, and worst of all discomfort and damage to your voice. Straining usually occurs when we try to sing above our range with a closed throat, or singing when the voice is tired. -
Step 2
Increasing your range is all about approach. Imagine trying to enter a room by going through the wall ! yes you may get in however you will also hurt yourself and you may fear the thought of entering that room again. Use the door !

Step 3
When practicing notes that are in your upper range, focus on maintaining an open throat. To help you maintain an open throat keep your palete (roof of your mouth) up and the back of your tongue down. Envision there is an egg in the back of your mouth and the doctor is asking you to say "hah" this will allow air to pass and carry the sound. When practicing higher notes, air should preceed the sound. This will help you avoid closing your throat.Berathe in, release air folled by sound in the form of "HA", repeat at least six times then breathe in and release air and the desired high note in the form of "ha". Repeat this until the note is a part of your range.
Practice singing higher with an open throat. Use exercises from Ready to sing Volume 2 "Ha, Hey" and "Don't you Strain".
