The ability to sing high notes with a thick voice can be developed if you practice diligently. The sound will change if you do the following steps consistently! The most important aspect of singing is taking deep breaths whenever possible to keep your lungs filled with air so you don't run out of breath.
Step
Method 1 of 2: Improving Sound Quality Using Correct Techniques
Step 1. Begin the exercise sitting or standing with a relaxed body
Make sure you sing with your back straight and a neutral posture so that your diaphragm and lungs can expand optimally and air flows smoothly. Since the energy needed to sing comes from the diaphragm, a relaxed body helps you focus your mind on the parts of your body that play an important role when singing.
- Relax the stomach. Do not tighten or contract your abdominal muscles as this will prevent you from breathing normally.
- Gently massage the front and sides of your neck with your thumbs to relax your vocal cords so you don't strain when you start singing.
Step 2. Breathe while activating the diaphragm
Diaphragm is a muscle under the lungs that will contract when we inhale so that the lungs can expand larger. When exhaling, you just need to relax the diaphragm little by little in a controlled manner. If you want to know what it's like to breathe using your diaphragm, bend forward at the waist and sing. Observe what you feel in the stomach and the sound produced.
When singing, don't inhale through your nose as this will make it difficult for you to hit the high notes
Step 3. Warm up before practicing
Make meaningless noises by blowing air through your pursed lips for a b-b-b-b-b or p-p-p-p-p sound, making a long "shhhhh" hissing sound, saying a few consonants and vowels to flex your facial muscles. This exercise helps you produce a more melodic, tension-free sound.
The condition of the vocal cords is like a balloon. A balloon that is stretched before being inflated will be easier to inflate because it is already flexible
Step 4. Warm up by singing a song whose notes match the vocal range
Instead of singing a new song, choose a song that has been sung many times as material to warm up before practicing vocals. To make practice more challenging, find a song that's slightly higher in notes than the upper limit of your vocal range and work your way up to it.
Step 5. Practice singing the scales while continuing to raise the basic note 1 note
The vocal cords are very delicate membranes and must be properly prepared if you want to sing with a new vocal technique.
Step 6. Train your body to hit the high notes
When singing high notes, contract your lower abdominal muscles, but allow your upper abdominal cavity to expand. This vocal technique is called "promoting sound using the lower abdominal muscles". Lower the lower jaw as far as possible, but make sure the vocals stay round by adjusting the shape of the lips. To be able to sing higher notes, bend your knees slightly so that you feel as if you are moving downwards.
- When raising a basic note, don't lift your chin so high that your vocal cords are stretched, although many people often do this when trying to hit a high note. In addition to causing tension in the neck muscles and vocal cords, it makes the voice sound like a choking sound. Prevent this habit by placing the tip of your index finger on the front of your neck and improving your vocal technique so that you don't lift your chin when you sing.
- Don't look up when singing high notes. Keep your gaze straight ahead so you don't look down or look up when you sing as this makes the sound unpleasant.
- Relax your tongue and point it forward to make high notes sound more beautiful.
Step 7. Don't force yourself to sing
Don't want to rush into singing notes with too high a key. This method can damage the vocal cords.
Drink water before rehearsing or performing at a show to keep your voice stable. Prepare water to anticipate emergency conditions
Method 2 of 2: Changing Your Lifestyle
Step 1. Improve your posture
To be able to sing with a louder voice, get used to standing or sitting with the correct posture, not just when singing.
Step 2. Maintain physical fitness
Increase lung strength and capacity by running or doing regular interval training.
Step 3. Flex the facial muscles
By exercising your facial muscles, you will be able to produce beautiful, perfect sounds using your oral cavity, for example making witty facial expressions, stretching your mouth and tongue in all directions, yawning while opening your mouth as wide as possible to the back of your throat, and relaxing your lower jaw until you can pressed or pulled by hand.
Tips
- Drink water mixed with honey so that your throat feels comfortable before practicing or performing at a show. Do not consume dairy products, alcohol, chocolate, other strong drinks or eat large portions of food before singing. Get in the habit of drinking more water. It is better to drink warm water so that the vocal cords do not go into shock.
- Don't sing too much. The ability to sing a tune has its limits. If your throat starts to hurt, don't keep singing. Drink room temperature water. If available, add lemon wedges or lemon juice. Don't cough too hard to clear your throat, as this can damage your vocal cords. To flex your vocal cords for high notes, warm up your vocals in front of a fan, if you have one.
- Take a break to relax yourself every time you sing for about 1 hour.
- Keep on singing without feeling scared or nervous. Imagine that you are alone in a fun place. Practice in an empty room to make the sound echo (for example, in a room with no furniture). This will help you sing better. Singing in a quiet place makes it easier for you to reach higher notes. Singing in front of large crowds is beneficial in overcoming "stage fright." For beginners, singing with your eyes closed is very beneficial even if you don't have stage fright.
- If you want to sing a song so high that it's hard to reach, warm up by singing the song an octave lower. Practice every day to widen your vocal range by singing notes within your vocal range while singing easily achievable highs and lows! Take vocal lessons and expand your knowledge of music.
- Get in the habit of sitting up straight and raising your eyebrows while forming the letter O with your lips and facial muscles and then sing in a relaxed manner so that sound production is not hampered. Get in the habit of relaxing your body and practicing breathing techniques. To make your voice sound more melodious, try to relax your shoulders and imagine you're descending on a high note, instead of shrugging your shoulders.
- When singing, let enough air in because the sound will be thin if you blow too much air. Practice holding your breath underwater while swimming to strengthen your lungs.
- If you want to be in a show, but aren't ready to sing a high-pitched song, choose a slightly lower base note. Your voice will choke if you push yourself to a high note. Practice hitting the high notes by warming up your vocals first. You can sing as high as you can when you warm up.
- Get in the habit of standing up straight while extending your back and holding your head up. Imagine your body like seaweed to keep the spine straight and relaxed so that the vocal cords work naturally. Do not use the vocal cords with the wrong technique because the vocal cords are an important means of achieving high notes. So, try to take care of it as best you can.
Warning
- If you're a teenager, remember that voices can change with age.
- If your voice is low, don't force yourself to sing high notes. Start practicing to the best of your ability. Over time, you will be able to reach higher notes if you practice diligently.
- Do not do things that can injure the vocal cords.
