Singing Higher and Louder
A lot of singers pride their selves on their singing technique, beautiful voice and the ability to sing at various pitches and notes. How to sing higher and louder is the question frequently asked by many newly singers who do not yet grasped the techniques of vocal range and pitch. It is something that lots of vocalists and singers want to know.
There are many people who tried different methods, but they failed. However, there are techniques on how to sing louder and higher, which seems to be easy.
Connect your voice with its upper registers, which can be done through keeping the vocal cords from coming apart. Hold them together and then shorten the length. Shortening the cords can be achieved through practicing. After doing this, your upper vocal range comes together and you can learn how to sing higher than before.
It is important that when you wish to sing higher and shorten your vocal cords, you do the right vocal exercise. It will produce a reaction in your voice. This exercise automatically teaches your voice to move to the upper range and sign the notes higher. It will free your voice and suddenly you will notice a new type of tension comes out in your voice when you sing.
When we say singing louder, it does not mean that the singing voice is hard. Having high volume and intensity means that you project your singing voice while you maintain the musicality. Intensity and high volume can be obtained through focusing the breath on the notes but not pushing too hard. Imagining your self projecting from the diaphragm may help. The technique to learn in how to sing louder is in the breath support. Place your hand on your abdomen for you to become aware of your breathing. Then breathe down from your diaphragm.
It is also necessary to learn controlling the speed in which you let your breath out. You need to increase your air speed for higher notes and decrease your speed for lower notes. Every frequency needs particular air speed to produce the best tone. A lot of singers push much air quickly when singing in an effort to make the note louder. But this only adds tension and stress to the tone. You can use your ears to tell you when the right balance is obtained. The tone should be pure and clear before you add stylistic nuances.
Dynamics is the art of lowering and raising your voice’s volume to add expression and texture to the sound. This is called color. You can notice that in the popular styles, singers sing loud with high notes and soft with low notes.
The exercise such as singing a note at its lower point and raising your voice slowly until reaches to the highest point is a good exercise that can help you to make sing louder. Hold there as long as you can before you sing the note back down to the lowest point. This exercise can help you sing with increased volume and improved dynamics.
Remember that with proper instruction and practice, your singing voice will get in shape and you will learn how to sing louder and higher.
