1 and 2 are falsetto, focused differently. 3 is full voice and has quite a nice tone, IMHO, you need to reduce the tension and you'll find the high notes easier to control.

nathan, can u pls describe in detail how are you producing that third sound? I just can't figure it out how to belt so high

Well there is definitely tension on the top note.

How I make it?... Erm... I cannot remember. I only figured that part out a year or so ago, before that it was a lot of heavy belting, breaking and general being out of tune.

I think I just tried sirens on "Yay" and the transcending tone on "Yay" and made it louder. I visualised the chords kinda tightening and it happened. I think I sort of stopped worrying too much about whether or not it was correct also.


In hindsight this may have been bad. Again, I'm still not sure my headvoice is correct. However, I think it is definitely getting there, at least on the right lines.

I wouldn't recommend following advice I give, though. That is definitely a recipe for disaster. I'm not an expert. I'm still a mere beginner.

Sorry if I wasted your time with that :)

its all in the book alex. really. also, open vowels are very easy to hit high notes like AHH, as opposed to saying GU like "glue" try singing notes on AHH then GU and see how you lose about an octave of range! vowels are ****en important to learn to sing high I think. Example, I can hit E5 on a good shape like AHH, but in actual singing where different vowels are comin out my range is down to like G4 at most. transcending tone is fantastic exercise as is practicing different vowles on scales but really do EVERYTHING.

ok thanks Nathan....and Phil i know about it, but i just can't do so high sounds in full voice without pushing...i have a theory that singing so high is all about having strong vocal cords since they are muscles and u are making them stronger by those sirens and different exercises.....so when they are strong enough to do their job themselves u can go to those higher notes and you won't strain because u won't be blocking your throat and so u won't use too much air.....do you think it can be this simple?

it's coordination. you can already hit the high notes in falsetto. you just need to teach the body how to reach those notes with full power, which takes TIME, CORRECT PRACTICE, and CONSISTENT PRACTICE. transcending tone is your best friend here, but really, you need to do all the exercises.
