There are many schools of thought out there all of which have different solutions to expand your reach. Experiment with them if you want to find one that's right for you, but stick to these ways to lead you to healthy singing, allowing for maximum expansion of your vocal range.
Step
Method 1 of 2: From the Inside to the Outside
Step 1. Lower your larynx
This is where your vocal cords are located. This is also known as the voice box. When he is at the bottom, this is the optimal position for singing. Unfortunately, as we sing and sing at a higher pitch, it has a tendency to increase.
- Releasing the “swallowed muscle” is a good move to reverse an inflated larynx. If that doesn't work, you can start singing at a lower pitch, which will also help release the larynx down. Finally, opening your vowel sounds (such as smiling) can also cause the larynx to expand, so, instead, think about making those sounds higher and narrower.
- Place your hand on your throat and feel your larynx. Move your tongue as far back as possible. You should feel a drop. Consciously, keep the drop as you move your mouth and tongue. This will likely be difficult at first, but with a few minutes of practice, you'll be able to get it down.
Step 2. Breathe using your diaphragm
Most people have a bad habit of breathing using the tops of their lungs. Place your hand on your stomach and watch it move up and down. It should expand and contract when you sing, not your chest.
Go on, sing while lying down! Place a book on your chest and don't let it move. This is a visual reminder of where you should be breathing using your diaphragm
Step 3. Experiment with vowel sounds
Each voice has one or two specific sounds that make it easier to hit higher notes. As you warm up, experiment with different sounds.
Stick to the darker vowels. It means "a", "e", "i", "o" and "u". Imitate an opera singer if you have to. Don't copy Canadians
Step 4. Warm up
This is absolutely necessary to sing healthily and expand your reach. Everyone has a favorite warm-up and what can work for them. Do various warm-ups to determine what you like best.
- Start at the very bottom of your range and work your way up arpeggio.
- At higher parts of your reach, quickly stop your breath by making a "hap" sound and releasing it with a "mu" siren-like sound. Aim higher and higher with each spin.
-
Start with a lower note to make a tubal sound, go up an octave and release it above with an "aw" sound down to the initial note (you can arpeggio if you wish).
Remember to prepare your mouth, lips and body completely for optimal warm-up
Step 5. Don't force it
If your voice indicates that you're going too high, listen up. Singing should be a natural thing. If you have to force him, he will sound tense.
If it starts to hurt, rest. You can restart it in a few hours, if you need it. The vocal cords are like any other muscle. They need time to get used to the training you put them through
Method 2 of 2: From the Outside to the Inside
Step 1. Drink water
Lots and lots of water. Keeping hydrated is key to staying vocally healthy.
- Stay away from cold water. It tenses your vocal cords when they need to be relaxed to reach those notes. Warm water is best.
- Milk coats your vocal cords. It may taste good to drink, but it is not good for your voice.
- If you feel tense, don't drink fluids that are too hot. Hot tea (perhaps with a little honey), a light, room temperature solution is best.
Step 2. Practice good posture
You know the girls you see wearing Victorian dresses in movies and television? That's not a bad thing to start with.
- If your chair has a backrest, don't use it. Keep your back straight and your arms loose.
- Don't hold your stomach. You breathe using it, remember?
- Keep your body as relaxed as possible. Relaxing the muscles you want makes it easier for you to relax muscles that aren't directly related.
Step 3. Use your arms
When you start to feel yourself achieving it vocally, do it physically. You will be surprised how physical will help.
- Start with your arms at your sides at the start of your siren and make a circle as you go, reaching as high as you can vocally and physically, simultaneously.
- Think you're throwing a frisbee when you do a high-pitched sound vibration and warm-up.
- Some trainers recommend literally pressing down while you're warming up with your arpeggios and reaching your vocal peaks. The idea is, by pressing down with both hands, this will remind you to keep your larynx low.
Step 4. Get a vocal coach
Quite simply, the guidance of a professional will be the quickest way to get the results you want. However, keep in mind that every vocal trainer is different and you will get different results from each.
Ask your potential trainer questions about their training, what techniques they use and what genre of music they will teach you to get started. Some trainers may give you a very pop sound and others a very classic one. However, the others were pleasant middle class
Tips
- Be patient. Chances are you won't hit new notes overnight.
- Healthy singing is the only way to maintain your singing voice. Otherwise, you will lose it as you get older.
Warning
- Never smoke. This is not good for any part of you and your body.
- Drinking alcohol will dry out your vocal cords. If you sing in public, it is very important to only consume water beforehand.
