How to Sing High Notes

Singing high notes with ease, clarity and no strain is the vocalist's nirvana. This is the stuff that separates the good singers from the great singers. Can you imagine the song 'Sweet Child o' Mine' by Guns and Roses sung in a lower register?

You may be thinking that's true but I was born with a lower register voice and I can never sing like that. Well I am going to tell you that with training and discipline anyone should be able to sing the higher registers without straining.

I know that's hard to believe. I know I didn't believe it at first. Every time I tried to sing above an E above middle C my voice would strain and break. The advice I usually got was 'just sing within your range'.

I was not ready to accept that. I knew there had to be a way to sing better and a little bit higher without sounding operatic.

After doing some research I found a few courses that claimed to increase your vocal range. I was still a bit skeptical

Then I discovered Bret Mannings Singing course. The course claims that after completing the lessons if you have not added a full octave to your range you can get a refund.

How can they possible think that I can sing much higher was my first thought. My voice is naturally very low. I gave it a try anyway.

After completing just a few lessons I started discovering my upper register. I started hitting high C in falsetto which was quite an accomplishment for me. Then about every other lesson I was able to add a half note to my falsetto range.

The full voice development took more time and effort. However, within a few lessons I was hitting F above middle C, then Gb, G, Ab and then A. I got stuck there for a while.

Then all of the sudden it clicked. I started to faintly hit Bb, B and then high C in full voice. It was very weak at first but it is getting better every day.

I'm still not anywhere near my potential but I am making progress every day. My 'Bass' voice is starting to hit notes that I previously never thought possible.

Do yourself a favor and start training your voice. There are many singing courses out there but Bret Mannings' course is I think one of the best.
