How to Hit High Notes When Singing: Tips on Singing High Notes

Tips for Singing High Notes


Many singers wonder how to sing high notes with power

and richness. The notes that fall within speaking voice range are easy to sing, but higher notes are notoriously

difficult for beginners.

If you’d like to learn how to sing high notes without compromising your vocal quality, use these tips to get

started:

Tips for Singing High Notes -Finding Your Upper Limit

You can find the upper limit of your vocal range by singing

progressively higher notes until you can no longer sing

comfortably. The highest note you can sing without straining is the top note on your natural vocal

range.


Use a guitar, organ, or other properly tuned instrument to help

you identify the notes in your range. Play a note, then match

your voice to it. Keep doing this until you reach the top of your

range.


Any notes above the top of your vocal range will require some practice. The goal is to learn how to sing high notes with good vocal control and without straining your voice.

Tips for Singing High Notes -Spanning Your Vocal Break

As you reach the top of your range, you will notice that there is a point

where your voice changes in quality. The deeper notes are sung in your

“chest voice”, which is close to your regular speaking voice. This is the voice that resonates deep in your

throat or chest.


At some point, your voice will shift to a lighter, airier sound that reverberates in

the top of your throat or back of your mouth. Some people describe this

voice as nasal, but that’s not accurate. This higher, thinner voice is known as the “head voice”, because it resonates

higher in your head.


The point where this switch occurs is known as your vocal break. Beginning

singers find it difficult to sing notes immediately above and below this break, but with some practice, you

can learn to bridge this break and sing most songs seamlessly.


- Improving Your Head Voice

There are two major steps you can take to improve the quality of your head voice. First, you’ll need to develop your “mixed

voice”, which is a combination of your chest and head voices.


- Improving Your Head Voice The mixed voice is the result of

practice; most people don’t come by it naturally, but experienced

singers incorporate it so smoothly that it’s impossible to tell when they switch from chest voice to

head voice.



To strengthen your mixed voice, you need to sing the notes around your vocal break. As you sing progressively higher, you should

practice using a bit less of your chest voice and a bit more of your head voice. You can

practice this skill by paying attention to where each note resonates in your throat

and mouth, and putting slightly more emphasis on the “head” notes as you go

along.



Over time, you will learn to place the notes where you want, making the transition from chest to head voice

very smooth.


- Breath and Diaphragm Support

The second part of singing higher

notes with ease is learning to use your breathing and diaphragm to support the high notes. Without breath and diaphragm support, your head voice

will sound thin and reedy. With breath and diaphragm support, it will sound rich and strong like your chest voice.



Practice rationing your voice as you exhale a note, not letting it out too fast. This will help you

sustain high notes and give them just the right amount of breath

support.



Your diaphragm is the muscle in your stomach area that flexes

when you laugh or exhale sharply. Practice flexing it as you sing to give extra support to your high

notes for a more powerful sound.

With your full vocal range and the

power of your breath and diaphragm behind you, you’ll soon learn how to sing high notes like a pro – and how to belt out money

notes your audience will never forget!
