Every singer has an instinctive vocal range where they feel enjoyable singing. Most individuals fall into the alto, tenor, or baritone scale. This can pose a problem when they need to sing high notes.

A lot of popular songs contain really high notes that are difficult to sing. High notes also grab the audience’s attention more than mid or low notes. If you want to develop the quality of your high notes, follow these essential tips:

Determine the Note

Using tuning software or a piano, identify the note you want to hit. Then find the notes that fall within your normal vocal scale. Make note of how far the high note is from the top end of your comfortable range.

The farther away the note is, the farther difficult it will be to sing it with good vocal control. If it is fairly close to the top of your scale, you can practice singing it in mixed voice.

If the note is far from the top of your normal range, you will need to practice singing it in your head tone.

Develop Your Mixed Voice

Your mixed voice is a mix of your chest voice and your head voice. You usually use it when you reach the top of your vocal scale. It feels like a vibration high in your throat or at the very back of your mouth.

Sing up the scale and pay attention to the resonation of each note. As you ascend the scale, the notes will vibrate higher in your throat. You will feel the highest notes ringing in your mouth and face.

Attempt to sing a higher note every day until you develop your vocal range.

Develop Your Head Voice

The head voice tends to sound light and breathy, with little power behind it. It doesn’t have the richness of the chest voice, but you can enhance its quality with some practice.

When you pass the top of your vocal range, your voice will ‘break’, or switch to the head voice. The head voice is a range between the chest voice and falsetto. (Head voice vibrates the vocal chords; falsetto does not.)

Find notes inside of your head voice range and practice singing them as loudly and easily as you can. Don’t worry if you sound bad at first; you will improve with practice.

Relieve Vocal Chord Tension

To sing high notes properly, you need to have loose vocal chords. Rigid chords will get your voice sound worse, and they are more at risk of injury than relaxed vocal chords.

To loosen up your vocal chords, do vocal warm-ups just before you sing. Sing down your scale until you hit the lowest note you can comfortably sing. Stay on this note for some time, drawing it out and going through your vowel sounds.

The resonation of the low note will help your chords relax. After 60 seconds or so, sing back up the range until you hit your highest comfortable note. Repeat the exercise with this note.

Be sure to stay hydrated while you warm up and sing. Keep away caffeine or cold drinks, as they can cause stress. Sip lukewarm water or herbal tea with honey.

Practice Usually

This will help you sing well and with confidence. Sing while you do chores, while you drive, when you shower, and really any time you can fit it in. Sing at a relaxing volume and don’t force the words out.

To improve your high notes, sing several songs entirely in your head voice. This will help you identify the notes and vowel sounds you have to work on.

It takes some time and practice to learn to sing high notes well, but the end result is worth the effort!
