How do you sing high notes with different styles and emotions?

This is a little simplistic. First of all, your range can change when you find a vocal coach who can help you gain the technique to sing higher. Most of my students gain the ability to sing much higher comfortable after training. Also, range is only one benchmark for singing a song. Tessitura, an Italian concept without an English translation, is better guide to whether you a song in a particular key. Tessitura refers to where most of the notes lie in the range of the song. For example, a song could technically be in a lower singers range but if it stayed in the high notes for too long or too strong, it could be tiring for the singer.

During my many years of teaching I have watched students range expand - some of them by more than an octave! You can sing up and down a scale to discern the range that you are currently comfortable with - a good place to start.

You can expand your range if you work with a really good coach. In the years I have been working with my vocal coach, my range has expanded greatly. I now can sing at a 4 octave range. I am a Soprano, although I can sing Alto and even high Tenor, we have worked to expand my vocal range. I am in my fifties and when I sing in my high range, I sound like I am in my 30s.

What are you warming up with your vocal warm up? Singing exercises the same way over and over only reinforces your current habits. Mindful practice - singing and observing how you are using your instrument and making the appropriate changes is transformative. https://singlikeyouspeak.com/what-warming/ This article shows you how with a video - an old video - and a step-by-step process. Have fun!

Singing with "Ma" sounds is good for me, it expands my throat at the back and makes my jaw drop more. This gives my mouth an open space, allowing the sound to have a deeper, richer sound. We go up and down the scales with the "Ma, Ma Ma Ma Ma" scale and I find that this is the best excercise for me to increase my sound.

I always cringe a bit at the term "proper technique." The description above requires a lot of thought. How will you ever sing when you're focused on so many factors? Yes, we need to breathe diaphragmatically. However, in Sing Like You Speak? we let the natural process become our technique. We use things you do in everyday life to inspire the natural use of the voice. Such as: Posture: Open your heart space and allow your posture to relax. This opens your body with core muscle. Breathing: Think of your inhale as opening from the top of your head to your lowest back. Then let your brilliant body do the rest. Far less thought involved and you body LOVES it because this process is recognized as natural, organic, the way it was meant to be.

Sometimes I am thinking about so many of the techniques my coach teaches me that I make mistakes with other things. I concentrate too much on thinking of everything that I miss the notes or inflection of the words. If you have a technique - breathing technique, posture, open mouth, etc., practice them over and over. Practice makes Permanant. Eventually muscle memory will take over and it will just become natural so you can concentrate on learning the words and notes of the song.

You can practice runs and scales all you want but if you believe high notes are too high for you, that belief will shut you down. You really don't know until you've worked with a skilled voice teacher what you can do. It all starts with an opening inhale. If you get an inhale that opens your vocal instrument and activates the deep abs, core and back muscles, then you are ready to let it rip. Try simply using a surprise inhale. How would you react if you won the lottery? Use that inhale and see what happens.

Breathing is key. Open your whole body, expand your ribs, raise your breastbone, expand out your back. One exercise you can do is to stand against a wall and breathe deep, expanding out. Your back should extend out and push you away from the wall somewhat. This shows that you are able to expand the breath in the back. Take deep breaths and expand out your ribs and breastbone, hold it and slowly release your breath. Count each second. Try to improve on how many seconds it takes. I can get up to 30 seconds sometimes.

To simplify the above - which seems way too complex - use the lyrics as follows: Say the lyrics are "hold my hand" You want intimate communication? Speak as tho to a lover. You want drama? Say the lyrics to an ex-lover. Your voice naturally responds to the need to communicate.
