Hey This

Their is only one way to sing properly and that is through the diaphram!. That is your volume control!. The harder you push, the louder you sing!.
You have to see expand in the lower and upper range otherwise, you will sound even more blah in the mid rangle if you didn't develop the botton range as well!.

You have to go up one note at a time and until you reach that note, you can;t just go on and try to go up 2 or 3 notes!. It won't work!.

also, one last example!.!.!.!.

You're vocal chords are like a string on a guitar!. When you play a guitar, you can hit a higher note simply by "fretting the string"!. With your vocal chords, it's similar!. Instead of "fretting the string" like on a guitar, your vocal chords "zip up" as you sing higher!. As you sing higher into your range, there is a point where your chords need to be shorter to sing higher!.
There is less of the vocal chords vibrating!. When this happens the chords can vibrate faster, and you can hit higher notes with ease!. The big problem is that most singers don't understand this concept, and therefore try and "yell" their higher notes, which is like trying to play a high note on a guitar by "bending" the string instead of moving your finger further down the fret board and fretting it!.

I am not talking about high note in falsetto!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would suggest trying simple drills and experimenting with going higher then lower!. That's how I discovered a few things about my vocal range!. Best of luck =P
