Things You'll Need:
- Your diaphragm
- Have confidence
-
Step 1
Open up on your vowels when singing your high pitches. This will allow you to have more room for your tones.
-
Step 2
Breathe please. Deep breaths and support is everything to give you the support you need during singing. When singing more of a faster song, work on getting quick deep breaths.
-
Step 3
Visualize the note or high note when you are singing. I always imagine, smoke coming out of my head when I am singing my very high notes. This helps me to place the note where it belongs making my high pitches more clearer and narrower like smoke coming out of a chimney.
-
Step 4
Think even higher on upper tones by giving them breath and support immediately. This will help your pitch and intonation to be more clearer and more open and lovely.
-
Step 5
Make sure your jaw is relax. Do not grab your jaw when you are singing. It really kills the tone quality of your voice and makes you go sharp on high notes unnecessarily.

on 8/30/2009 As an opera singer I have always had to open my mouth
as much as possible for the high notes. To not worry about high notes, you can lift a light weight chair by
leaning over as you inhale air and lifting the chair up over your head doing a cultivated yell called a "siren sound". Fear causes one to tighten up and therefore high notes become impossible to sing. I have to sing with abandonment like a leaping ballet dancer. Cultivated yelling does not hurt the throat if done with a professional standing by to comment. If you can
yell in the high female falsetto voice you can sing high
notes in the female falsetto voice. Ribs have to be up
and out, lungs filled up, and you literally grip with your abdominal muscles as though you were lifting
something or yelling over to another mountain. The throat must be relaxed and open when doing this exercise
with abandonment and open your mouth...

on 6/28/2009 Good advice. Another thing that helps is in practice doing a little squat as you soar up to the high note. It just floats out then. If you move your body downward as your pitch goes upward, it doesn't feel as though you are stretching and reaching for it (which would cause vocal strain). After practicing it for awhile, you get a feel for what it's like and then you can do it without the squat. Anyway, sorry for the super long add on. I can't stop myself when it involves music. Anyway... great article. 5* :)

on 12/7/2008 I remember these directions from choir. I wish that I could hear you sing because you sound well-trained. Thanks.

on 11/18/2008 Good practical vocal advice. I am really learning how to harmonize with my band, eventhough I can't really sing. Maybe this will help me sing high parts better. Good interluding article!
