Want to sing high notes but can't get it? Can't afford to hire a good teacher? Follow these tips and learn on your own.

Steps

  1. 1 Warm up your vocal cords. A warm-up can be humming your favorite melody or a song like "Beetle, beetle, where is your home." Another great chanting exercise is to sing the lowest note, then hit the highest note for you and return to the lowest to sound like a siren beep. Do this exercise several times and you will notice the difference. It is best to sing in the middle range before moving down to the lowest and highest notes.
  2. 2 Breathe correctly. Breathe with a diaphragm. In other words, when you breathe in, the abdomen should rise first, then the chest. Stand up straight and try to chant "ha ha" quickly. You will feel rapid air vibrations emanating from your lower abdomen. This is called "supporting" the voice.
  3. 3 Start in the middle of your range and gradually hit higher and higher notes. Continue chanting the notes up and down. Don't strain your voice. Your throat shouldn't hurt. Drink enough WARM water to moisturize your vocal cords. Do not drink ice water or milk before singing. It is best to drink water at room temperature.
  4. 4 Think through the entire phrase that includes the high note. From the very beginning of singing, you will have to constantly maintain your voice, associating the high note with all the previous ones.
  5. 5 Use your belly, not your throat. Using your throat while singing high notes will strain your vocal cords, and you really it will hurt. Stuck out your belly so that it resembles an inflated balloon as you sing the high notes. It may look silly, but this position allows you to draw as much air into your lungs as possible.
  6. 6 Remember that "high" notes are not physically high. They are in the same range as other notes. No need to raise or tilt your head, try to imagine that the note is in front, and not hovering above you in the air.
  7. 7 Determine the correct vowel modification. In each vocal range there are certain vowels that a person can take high enough. It's worth experimenting to determine which vowels work for you. Once you find your version, gradually reshape your singing, moving towards the highest vowel you can sing. (Don't be afraid to mix up vowel sounds, such as singing the "e" sound while rounding your lips like you do when pronouncing the "o" sound.)
  8. 8 Sing in high notes. During rehearsals, do not be afraid to sing longly (as if you are yawning) at extremely high notes. The position of the mouth while yawning is best for singing these notes. This exercise is great for tuning your articulation apparatus.
  9. 9 Repeat the exercises. Train until you achieve the desired results.
  10. 10 Try to hit the highest note for you and sing it. Then take the next one.
  11. 11 Do not hurry. High notes are not easy, so work your way up gradually.

Tips

  • Breathe deeply and stand / sit upright.
  • Don't give up, it may not work out right the first time, but the more you work, the better the result will be.
  • Practice, practice and more practice !!!
  • My throat hurts badly. What should I do? Stop.
  • Open your mouth wide, giving it an O shape and pressing your tongue to the lower palate.
  • Not try to strain your voice with force, as this will lead to breathing problems and you will feel unhealthy.
  • Explore your range better. Men take a particularly long time to build a range, but there is no need to rush - singing high notes is impossible without training.
  • Drink some warm tea - it helps too. To sing even better, say tongue twisters, for example, "Senya is carrying a cart of hay." Say "Once upon a time there were crayfish."
  • Follow the same advice when singing low notes, except when playing low notes with a musical instrument.
  • Clear your throat before singing, otherwise your voice will sound choking.

Warnings

  • If you feel any sore throat, stop! Pain occurs when you overextend your vocal cords.
  • Do not overvoltage! The head should always be in the normal position, and you should never lower or raise your head to play a note.
  • Your inner voice is not at all like how it sounds from the outside, so record your singing on a voice recorder and rely on this recording when working on your voice.
  • Make sure you swear before class, this will show the best results and prevent ligament injuries.
  • What's the most important thing? Focus on singing and singing only. Remember to feel light while singing and listen to the pitch you are trying to achieve, not what you plan to do after the lesson.
  • If you like a song but have to “sing it down a key” in order not to lose your voice, do it whenever possible. This does not mean that you showed weakness, perhaps you are acting wisely, or just choose a completely different song.
  • Don't sing too much (if you decide to do it) if you have a sore throat. Chances are, your voice range will decrease rather than increase.
