Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Firstly, it's falsetto!.

Secondly your question is not clear!. Falsetto deals with range (I!.e the notes going higher or lower), whereas strength, I presume, refers to volume and resonance!.

To increase range without using falsetto is useful as changing to falsetto midsong may sound jaring if not well practiced!. to increase the range of natural voice, do scales exercise regularly, even very basic ones such as do-re-mi-fa-so-fa-mi-re-do!. the point of the scales is firstly to warm up your voice, and subsequently as you try higher notes, to stretch your range!. HOWEVER, do not keep forcing yourself to go high till your voice cracks!. When you practice, do not force your voice to go half or one note above your limit (which is the highest note you can sing that sounds normal)

Other little tricks to help you reach higher notes include raising your eyebrows and tiptoe when you reach the higher notes as raising your eyebrows uses your face to help you use more head voice, and as you tiptoe, you will raise your upper torso, enabling your lungs to fill with more air to reach higher notes!.

To increase volume, make sure you have sufficient air in your lungs before you sing each phrase!. But the MOST IMPORTANT THING is to sing from your diaphram instead from you throat as firstly, it will sound weak and unsupported, and more importantly it will spoil your throat if you constantly strain your throat!. Your diaphragm is a flap of tissue below your lungs!. Breathe fully into your lungs till your chest visibly expends, then try to push the air down to your solar plexus and sing/exhale!.

To increase resonance, you require a very focused sound!. when you sing, choose a point far away and sing to that point, mentally picturing that you are focusng all of your voice to that point!. This does not necessarily mean that it's loud!. you can have a soft (piano/ pianissimo) focused sound that travels as far as an unfocused loud (forte/ fortissimo) sound!.

Another thing to take note is the mouth shape!. when you enunciate the words, shape your mouth according to the vowel sounds - A = Ah, E = Eh, I = Ee, O = Oh, U = Wu!.

also, conciously make the space in your mouth bigger by raising the upper palate (the soft part in between your upper teeth)Www@QuestionHome@Com

DO NOT try to increase the strength of your voice!. don't force your voice to do something, it can't!. in the long run, it will actually damage your voice!. i suggest you don't do it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

First, change your name--your cred is hovering around zero!. If you really want to increase the strength of you voice, look down!. No, not that far, only to your abs and diaphragm(the muscle)!. Voice strength is dependant upon the strength of the musculature driving the air through your vocal cords!. Exercise that strengthens your core will help immensely!. Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com
