Hi guys. I am currently in a band and havent learnt how to sing or anything but i think i can sing good at a low pitch. However my singing voice wont go as high as i`d like it to be. Maybe it was my voice that broke or being in the school choir 2 yrs in a row wrecked it i dont know. I used to be able to sing really high but now i cant go very high at all. I would like to know if there is actually any real way to train your voice to go higher because when i try to sing a yellowcard or sum41 song my voice just doesnt go high enough to match the pitch that they sing at. I try to go that high but no voice comes out and even if it does it is really off tune. I would love if someone could suggest something, anything to me that could help me train my voice higher. Thanks

I would say the best ways to train your voice to reach a higher range, is to either go find a vocal technique coach, or buy an interactive vocal training program. If you get proper exercises, then you won`t do any more damage, if any damage has actually been done. It might just be a simplistic case of not having worked out your voice in a while. So...if you can`t find someone to give you vocal lessons, or you don`t want to pay that much, try finding cds. They work quite well...although definitely not as well as a live teacher .

Once your voice stops changing, you have a certain set of notes in your range and no more, but you have to learn how to access some of those notes, so initially you may not know they are there. The best way to access notes on either end of your range, particularly the high end, is to support it correctly using your diaphragm and air flow. Without training, many people try to get that support from other muscles, like the jaw, the tongue, or, in my case, the sides of my neck. None of these muscles will give you the sounds you want, and you may hurt yourself. You have to find a teacher who will help you find and develop the correct muscles and support your voice with air, not with tension. Good luck!

Hi,

I am doing rock singing as well.

Go to a vocal coach. I tried interactive stuff and it just didnt help.

I also dont think you`re range is limited. I have been going to a coach for about 8 months and my range is gradually increasing both up and down.

My coach has been getting me to sing exercises in a lighter sort of head/falsetto voice chipping higher and higher. I have found that this has helped me a great deal singing lower notes in a full strength voice.

I can now sing a lot of my favourite songs all the way up to the top note without strain (which is key).

So take the plunge and get some coaching
