Sing High Notes Without Straining

Do you freeze up and get tense every time that high note is coming up in a song?

Well that's one of the main reasons the high note can sound so strained. Don't worry, once you learn how to relax and breathe correctly you'll have nothing to worry about. Not only will you not strain, you'll have a better chance on singing the right pitch.

Breathing Tip: Lay on your back and inhale, once you inhale your diaphragm should expand. Then exhale, after you exhale your diaphragm should be back to normal. Practice this to have the correct breathing while you sing.

When we get to those high notes some singers tend to force them out so hard it sounds like a painful straining scream.

In order to avoid that you must learn to RELAX RELAX RELAX those vocal chords and open them up. You do this with vocal warm ups and excercises.

A good technique I use to open the vocal chords is to relax my tongue on the bottom row of my teeth, trust me it really works!! Click Here to learn all the techniques I know!

Yes, it is always healthy to sing correctly.
In fact, the health of your vocal chords is in jeopardy every time you strain or even scream. You could suffer from painful vocal nodules, to even loosing your voice permanently and no singer wants that.

Your voice is your instrument and its very important to take solid care of your instrument!!!

To keep my instrument working I stay hydrated with plenty of room temperature water I always drink mint tea or throat coat with plenty of honey no lemon. (Lemons dries out the throat.) And I like to suck on a ricola cough drop to moisten my vocals before singing!

You must and I emphasize MUST NOT FORCE THE NOTE or it will definitely sound forced!!

Do your vocal exercises and warm up before you sing. Don't forget to relax and breathe correctly. Take care of those healthy vocal chords and in no time you'll be able to hit those high notes you were once afraid of.
