Build Your Vocal StrengthIn order to hit better high notes, you need to strengthen your voice. A weak voice will have trouble hitting high notes or sustaining them. Build your vocal strength by practicing vocal technique exercises 4-5x per week for a minimum of 30 min, max of 60. You can start with our Singers Gift Warmups that help to open, strengthen, warm up your voice and expand your range. It’s the most important thing to do if you want to hit better high notes first 2. Open Your Mouth More When You SingMost people don’t realize that if you just open your mouth more when you sing instead of gripping your jaw or throat muscles so hard, you’ll have more sound and it will flow out easier. It’s a quick trick that works well. 3. Point Your Chin DownBecause high notes are placed higher in a singer’s instrument, the mistake is often made to reach up. While we want the soft palate in the upper back of the mouth to arch up, we don’t want the tongue or especially the chin to lift. Keeping your chin pointed down on high notes will help you reach them with more ease and power. 4. Hold Your Jaw OpenIt’s common to close the jaw a bit to reach higher notes, but be careful not to close too much as you can cut off your tone, power and volume. Holding your jaw open until the close of the word (sing on the vowel not the consonant) will give you more volume and power.The best way to do this is to practice voice building exercises. 5. Press the Back of Your Tongue DownSingers often complain about their high notes sounding too thin or harsh. This is because as you sing higher your throat tends to close, and your vocal muscles get pushed upward making for a thinner, harsher sound. One of several solutions is to press your tongue down in the back of your throat to “anchor” the note. First, practice the feeling of the tongue dropping in order to use it during singing. Hold your jaw open, keep the tip of the tongue glued to the inside of the lower lip and say “Kah” without moving your jaw. The tongue will reach up to the roof of your mouth (soft palate area) on the “k” and drop down on the “ah”. Practice this to get better control of the tongue. Then when singing high notes try using the technique! Don’t expect the tongue to cooperate instantly, it takes some practice, but some of you will notice an immediate improvement. The tighter the tongue is the more difficult this will be. But practicing this over time will result in stronger, more “anchored” high notes. Bonus Tips:

You’re getting ready to sing that beautiful high note when all of a sudden, it feels like the bottom drops out of your voice and you crack like a 12-year-old boy. A little embarrassed, you try again, this time pushing the note a bit harder. But that only makes the crack worse. As a voice teacher, I can tell you vocal breaks like this are really common, especially on high notes. And unfortunately they can happen at any time, on stage in front of thousands of people, or even in your home studio after too many vocal takes. But having taught more than 500 students, I can tell you this: Anyone can learn how to hit high notes without straining. It just takes some practice and the right singing techniques. And I promise that if you learn to hit those high notes without straining, you’ll be amazed at how much you can expand your vocal range. So today, I wanted to share ten of my best tricks for getting to those crazy high notes without straining. Ready to get started? Read on… A Quick Word About These Vocal ExercisesThere’s an old vocal saying that goes like this: In order to sound good, first you have to sound bad. And it’s totally true. The ironic thing about vocal exercises is that sometimes you have to sound weird in order to get the vocal results you want. So whether you’re learning to hit high notes, expand your range or sing vibrato, sometimes you need to give yourself permission to sound bad first. But always remember this: None of these vocal training exercises should hurt. A lot of people think that in order to hit high notes, they just need to push harder. But actually, pushing those notes may be exactly what’s holding you back! So if you feel any pain or tension in these exercises, you are probably doing them wrong. Now that that’s out of the way, here are ten ways to hit high notes without straining. Exercise1: The Lip TrillThe lip trill is one of the best exercises to expand your vocal range. And almost anyone can do it. The biggest reason to do lip trills is they let you sing smoothly from the bottom to the top of your voice without straining. Even if you can’t sing high notes in a song, you can usually sing them on a lip trill. Here’s how you do the lip trill:
If you feel that your voice break or crack in the middle, don’t worry. It’s best to see if you can just let the trill go all the way to the highest part of your voice, regardless of how it sounds. By the way, if you’re having a hard time doing the lip trill, check out this YouTube video where I walk you through it: Exercise2: The “ooh” Vocal SirenNow that you’ve warmed up with the lip trill, let’s sing a vowel that you might hear in a song. The “ooh” vocal siren is a fantastic exercise because the “ooh” vowel allows you to go to the highest notes in your voice without straining. Plus, if you’re a bit tense on those higher notes, the “ooh” vowel can be total magic for you since the “ooh” relaxes your vocal cords. Here’s how you do the “ooh” vocal siren:
Exercise3: The “ee” Vocal SirenNow that you’ve found your highest notes on the “ooh” vowel, let’s work on the right vocal tone for singing. The “ee” vowel is very similar to the “ooh” except that the “ee” has a bit more edge to it, which will give you a cleaner sound. Here’s how you do the “ee” vocal siren:
Remember to stop if you feel any pain. Exercise4: Eliminate Tongue TensionHere’s the bottom line: Singers add tension to their voices in lots of ways. And most of the time, they don’t even realize they’re doing it! So now that you’ve warmed up on the “ooh”s and “ee”s, let’s make sure that you’re not straining to get to those high notes. One common way that singers strain is by raising or lowering their tongue when they sing different notes. But if the tongue is in the wrong position for what you’re singing, the tension can make you sound very tight and squeezed. You can feel this muscular tension in your tongue. Try this:
It should look something like this: You should feel that as you swallow, the muscles underneath your chin activate and push down against your thumb. We don’t want these muscles active in your singing. So here’s one simple exercise to sing without tongue tension:
Exercise5: Keep Your Larynx RelaxedNow that you’ve started singing those high notes without any tension in your tongue, let’s target another area that tends to get a bit tense: Your larynx. Your larynx, or “voice box”, houses the vocal cords and has several groups of muscles that raise or lower it when you swallow or yawn. But many singers raise their larynx unconsciously when they sing high notes. And if the larynx is too high on your high notes, it can actually cause you to strain. Here’s how to check for tension in your larynx:
It should look something like this: You should notice that the larynx rises as you swallow. We don’t want the larynx to rise as we sing. So here’s one simple exercise to sing without raising your larynx:
Exercise6: The “Dopey” SoundHere’s the hard truth: Many singers can do vocal exercises easily but still struggle when they sing songs. So now that you’re starting to relax your larynx in exercises, let’s get that relaxed feeling in your singing. The “dopey” sound is one of my favorite tools to help you relax the high notes in your songs. Here’s how you do the Dopey Sound:
You should notice that even on high notes, your voice is staying more relaxed. That’s because the “dopey” sound allows your larynx to relax. Exercise7: The “Gee”Now that your larynx is more relaxed in your songs, you may notice that your vocal tone is a bit operatic or classical-sounding. That’s totally normal. Remember, in order to sound good, sometimes we have to sound silly. So building on the relaxation that you get on the dopey sound, I want to give you an exercise that will get you closer to a normal sound without straining. Here’s how you do the dopey “Gee”:
You should notice that even though your voice is relaxed, you’re starting to sound a bit more normal. That’s because the “Gee” allows you to hit those high notes with a much cleaner vocal tone. Exercise8: The “Bratty” SoundOnce you’ve mastered the dopey “Gee,” it’s time to make your vocal tone a bit cleaner and crisper. One of my favorite exercises to help you get those high notes really clean is to use the “bratty” sound. The “bratty” sound is a powerful tool because it allows the vocal cords to come together more, giving you a much brighter edge in your singing. Here’s how you do the “Bratty” sound:
You should notice that even though the vocal tone is a bit nasal-sounding, the bratty exercise will help you sing the high notes in the phrase much more easily. Exercise9: The “Nay”Here’s the honest truth: Lyrics are way harder to sing than exercises. That’s because when you’re singing lyrics, you have to deal with different notes, vowels, consonants and dynamics. And sometimes your voice needs a bit more support to get to those high notes. One of the best ways of improving the phrase you’re trying to sing is by doing it on a vocal exercise. So here’s one of my favorite exercises for singing those troublesome notes in a phrase with tons of power. Here’s how you do the bratty “Nay”:
If you’re having a hard time getting the “Nay” exercise right, here’s a YouTube video where I walk you through it: You should notice that when you sing the bratty sound, your notes come way more easily than when you sing the phrase “normally”. Exercise10: Narrow the VowelsBy now your voice should be completely warmed up and strain-free. But some of the sounds you’re singing may still be a bit embarrassing to you. While I don’t want you to go on stage singing “bratty” or “dopey,” these exercises will help you reduce strain and expand your vocal range. So treat these vocal exercises like a crutch. As soon as you no longer need them, try to wean yourself off of them. First, sing the phrase bratty. Then half bratty. And then not bratty at all. Once you’ve mastered these exercises, it’s time to sing real words. One of the best exercises to transition from these “weird” sounds to more normal singing is to narrow your vowels. Here’s how to narrow your vowels:
I’ll give you an example of narrowing vowels below: Here’s the phrase: “It goes like this the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift, the baffled king composing ‘Hallelujah’” Now I’ve underlined the syllables of the highest notes in the verse: “It goes like this the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift, the baffled king com-posing ha-lle-lu-jah” So to narrow the vowels of this section, you would turn the “oh” vowel from “composing” into an “ooh” vowel. Then, you would take the “Ah” vowel from the “Hah” of “Hallelujah” and turn it into an “uh” vowel. So you would end up singing the lyrics more like this: “The baffled king com-poooh-sing huh-lle-lu-jah” You should notice that singing these more narrow vowels makes the phrase way easier to sing. Congratulations! By now you should be able to hit high notes in your voice without any strain. And while some of these exercises may be a bit funny-sounding, it pays to practice them until you’ve got those notes perfect. I promise that if you work on them daily and consistently, you’ll be amazed how much more vocal freedom you have.
