I have some very nice high voice troubleshooting tips for you in this newsletter. We will look at your voice when you sing in the high scale and how you can get there.

Are you aware of the point in your upper scale where you are no longer comfortable singing? This is the point where your upper range ends. Your voice may try to go higher but your tone will go sour and everything falls apart.

Many experts refer to this point as the 'break'.

To connect to your high voice you have to sing your way throughout this break. You have to carry your voice to the other side. If this sounds for example crossing a bridge you are not far from the mark.

Your vocals have several bridges. This is just one of the bridges you must pass over to be able to improve your singing voice.

When you cross the bridge you will experience a new type of singing sensation. I point out this here as a warning. The sensation is not bad - in fact, most artists actually enjoy it - but it is special.

Typically you feel vibrations and sensations in your throat. However, when you start to use your head voice you will feel the vibrations higher up, almost as if your voice has raised up into your head.

Let's look at various tips to help you make best your high voice.

*To figure a baseline, sing a high note. Hold it. Time the length you are able to hold the note.

*Use your diaphragm to breathe. If you breathe by means of your nose you will not hit high notes. To make sure you use your diaphragm begin to include diaphragm and strengthening exercises as a part of your routine.

*Periodically check to see if your high notes are coming from your diaphragm.

*Always warm up before singing. This cannot be worn out. Warm ups produce rich notes. They avoid the vocal chords from becoming strained.

*Practice scales each time you sing and carefully increase your pitch. Carrying this out will slowly extend your high range. It will also give your voice power.

*When you loosen your vocal chords before singing you put less tension on them. To loosen the vocal chords take your thumb and maneuver your larynx back and forth, side to side.

*Take it nice and slow. One of the biggest problems experienced by singers is trying to hit high notes to soon. This will strain your vocal chords. Instead, slowly work your way up and expand your range with care.

*Sing only as you can. By singing at the low end of your range you stretch your vocal chords. This stretching will keep them from quickly constricting when you attempt high notes.

Do not get frustrated if you don't get the outcomes you want the first time. Practice will help you troubleshoot your high voice problems.
