Hey,
I have a little problem. I usually sing along with dream theater. Im doing it for a long time now. My problem is, that i only get the very high notes with my full voice if I pull my head a bit to the right. I saw this as I watched me in my mirrow while singing. Then I tried singing while leaning against the door.. so I had to stand perfectly straight ( my head was straight too). And then I sing a long with dream theater and the high notes sounded awful. Does anybody know, why I have this problem and how I can delete it. Thank you for your Help.

Sure do. You developed a bad habit a developed a certain muscle memory to hit those high notes. Now, every time you go for those notes, the body thinks the only way to reach them is by leaning your head and putting certain muscles into unnescessary stress. The solution- Start practice the three main exercises from Raise Your Voice and work your way back up to thise notes week by week until each come effortlessly. Download the 4 instructional videos from the Members section and you'll see demonstraions of me hitting notes effortlessly, that James LaBrie himself, personally asked me, if I could show him how to hit with ease. James and I are friends. Oh yeah, you are going to have to quit singing the high parts for a few weeks and break that habit and practice your ass off with the RYV exercises until you have correctly strengthened the voice and can nailo thise notes with ease.

Hey Jamie,
Thank you for your tips.
So I will do this. I thought, perhaps it would be a genetic mutation or something allowing only to reach high notes when I lean my head to thr right way. But now im calm. Thank you again. I will practise it and let you know about my success.
Regards

Robin, when you say high notes, how high are you talking? It could be possible that one of your vocal folds could be paralyzed or partially paraylzed. That could explain why you have to tilt your head slightly to the right in order to get the note. That would help the weaker cord make better contact with the cord that is normal. Once again, this is just a possibility. You should try what Jaime has suggested first. Ultimately, it's hard to really know what's going on without having someone work with you.

Oh thank you, yes I ll do this. I speak about an high E. For example.
