Question:

When I sing, how can I make my high notes, stronger, louder, and more clear?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: as everyone, especially Aaron Spencer, has pointed out, breathing is crucial for singing those high notes. Volume and power come from breath flow management, and not by getting cramped up in your throat.
Place your thumbs on the lowest rib along your back, and fan your hands and fingers forward along the lowest ribs in front. When you inhale, you will feel plenty of muscles at work there. These are the main muscles of exhalation as well, and it pays to train them. ( People train these and call them abs, but we don't need to go overboard)Our goal, as singers, is to inhale, and keep the "gesture of inhalation" in place as we go about singing. it's not that we push on these muscles to keep them in place, but we do maintain the balance between the muscles of inhalation and the muscles of exhalation there.( By the way, put your hands back down, keeping them there is bad for the basic posture) This gives us the basic motor of our voice. Until we can use our motor efficiently, our sounds comes out weak, or underpowered. Learning to breathe in this way will give you all the "noise" you ever want to have.
It's a good idea to practice under the guidance of a good voice teacher to make sure that other niggly ( or huge) mistakes don't creep in.
Please watch out. There are some bad fads out there for clearing phlegm away by drinking lemon juice pure. While lemon juice will help momentarily, it is an acid, will scour the enamel off your front teeth, leaving them dirty gray, and your body will respond by producing more mucous to replace that which you so forcibly removed. Sip room temperature water instead. Source(s):
opera singer and voice teacher Sing from your diaphragm--your rib cage should expand out and in, if you are doing it correctly. Don't tighten up your shoulders..relax them. If you're a singer, then you probably already know this, but.
Breathe from your diaphragm. It really helps with breath support which is another really important aspect for singing. Especially if you want to sing high notes, breath support is crucial. Also, when you're singing, try not to move your shoulders, that means you're breathing from your diaphragm. I hope this helps! breathe deeply from the diaphram,Push the oxygen up from the diaphram with controlled force .This will give your tone
strength and volume as for clarity keep your throat and sinuses
clear of excess phlem and other debris(tea with lemon alternated with tea with honey and nasal steaming help
considerably.)Most of all....Practice. Warm yourself up, completely when you are working on your upper range. You can utilize that time to sing out, sing those dreaded high notes! and sing them on strong, long held tones. Once the note begins to "die" or crack, take a deep, full breath to the bottom of your lungs and come back in.

So many of my students are afraid of high notes. They tighten their throat and eeeght its gone. Kind of like a kid that tenses up at the foul line and can't do what they know they can. You just need to keep in control of the situation b filling your lungs, and practicing up there often- do it when you are by yourself if you prefer. Places I tell my newer private students to practice these things- in your room or a place where no one can hear you- my favorite one is in the car, just parked in the driveway if you don't drive yet! Its all you in there, and you can hear it all, and its like a little sound proof room where the sounds of the world around you go away.
keep it up! Breathing from your diaphragm is an easy thing to say, but a tough thing to explain. First, make sure your singing posture is correct - feet firmly planted and shoulder width apart, bottom tucked, stomach relaxed, shoulders relaxed and the head sits on the neck freely and easily like a bobble-head doll. Then take a deep breath. You should feel expansion all around your stomach, sides and even your back. The shoulders should not move during inhalation. Now, about your question. You should NEVER attempt to make a note sound louder. A note, especially a high note, carries because of resonance and life, NOT because of volume. The trick is to relax and let a note happen, not force it to happen. Do not tilt your head back "reaching" for a high note as this causes your vocal mechanism to disalign. As always, it is best to expand and explore your range and vocal abilities with a qualified teacher who will help you preserve your vocal health while realizing your potential. Say the word "sing" then hold the "ng" position. Then, hum in that position. Scales, siren sounds, the melody of a song, etc.

There is an exercise called the lip whistle. Purse your lips together and blow, sort of like a kid making motorboat noises (pppp) while making a tone in your throat. When you can do this well, go up and down the scale while doing it, then "sing" your song this way.

Go as high and low as you can with these exercises.
