I dont know all the technical terms, but i can sing at A# above C above middle C!. I want to know some excercises and tips on pushing my high notes as high as possible safely and without having to sing extrememly loudly!. All answers are gratefully received but simpler(no techinal musical terms) are preferable =] Thank youWww@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Make sure you're singing with your diaphragm for support!. Put your hand on your stomach and blow out fast as if you're blowing out a candle!. That's the muscle you need to be using for high or sustained notes!. Try singing arpeggios moving up a semitone each time and make sure you're using your diaphragm so that you don't strain your voice!. If your throat gets sore that's because you're singing from your chest!. Do these exercises every day and you'll gradually be able to go higher, but don't push yourself, it'll take time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Get a voice training book with a CD in it, such as The Contemporary Singer by Ann Peckham!. This book is full of very good advice, with everything explained so anyone can understand!. When you sing warm-up scales, take it a semitone higher than you are comfortable with!. It will sound terrible at first, but will train your muscles to realise that the note is required!. Stop before it gets sore!. When it starts getting a better sound, go to the next note up!.Www@QuestionHome@Com When you are singing, and you are trying to sing higher, press your index finger, middle finger, and ring finger into the space in the middle of your ribs above your stomach!. While you do that, tighten your butt and stand up straight!. Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com Ask a choral director (or whomever) which exercises are best for you!. Or Hire a Voice Lessons Teacher!.
