You want to hit that F#??? DId you also buy Raise Your Voice? It has the keys for hitting all those high notes, and it has the Members section to back it up, with exercises, audio files and instructional videos. As well as new instructional videos coming soon.

Yes, I bought them both together.

I've been taking voice lessons for over a year, but I've only made mediocre progress so far, and I've felt so trapped because I've got a baritonal quality to my voice, but can't sing high enough to utilize it. I’ve sailed up to the G4 multiple times, but I can never hang on to it, and I can never hit it outside of my voice lessons. At home my absolute top note is the E4, and that’s a major pull.

Plus I've been dying to switch to the tenor section of my church's choir for two years now (we don't have any good tenors, and I love the tenor line in most of the music we do). That's not going to happen till I've got at least a nice, relaxed A4, I'm sure.

I have to say I think you're right about Raise Your Voice being the best book out there, Jaime. I've read several books on singing before now, and discussed it with my voice teacher, but till I did the rubberband example I never understood what the hell anyone was talking about when they said "zip up the vocal cords," or "Head Voice is just moving past the point of maximum pull."

I'm definitely going to be reviewing the book on Amazon (and I've already gotten a friend interested in buying it, I think) but I'd like to give myself a month or two so I can make some progress and then say that the book has helped me to become a better technical singer rather than that it's just increased my knowledge of how the voice works.

The main thing to do, is to get a pitchwheel and do the exercises over and over and over and over and again and again and again and again. I am talking about the three main exercises from RYV. You'll get it:)
