*ahem*...specifically...

YES. You can.

Before buying Jaime's book, I could barely sing an E4. After practicing Jaime's exercises for a few months, I could vocalise up to an F#5, over an octave higher than before.

Lee is basically talking about different registers in your voice. You might not be able to sing higher than A# in your particular register (throat resonance), but developing in your "head voice", which is STILL full voice, you can sing notes over an octave higher than that.

Lee,

I have to correct you because you are completely off track. Danny CAN increase his range as high as he needs to, as much as an octave if so desired. To tell him a few notes is all he can reach is absurd. You can accomplish anything you desire. I have worked with so many hundreds of singers that I cannot even count how many people have extended their range by 6 notes or more. It's all a matter of developing and strengthening the voice and having the positive mental attitude to achieve your goals. If I would have listened to someone tell me "nah, you might be able to extend a note or two and that's it" back in 1988, I wouldn't have made it past middle C.

PS- Not scolding you Lee, but I want people to know they CAN achieve what they so desire.

Not scolding you jaime, but i think lee was saying that he could extend his "throaght resonance" range or middle voice a couple more notes before he would have to move to head resonance, where he could go much higher. loads of people have trouble accesing their "head" voice and need training to do so, which he was promoting through you.

peace love and high notes...low notes.....all notes?

You know what, I stand corrected and I am sorry Lee. I am so swamped that I usually just speed read the messages and I actually went back and read your reply. I was way off base. I see what you were saying now, so I am sorry My mistake for not taking the time and doing my job correctly

Haha no problem Jaime... Im glad you get what i mean now...lol

I brought your RYV method and i have to say that at first look is one of the better in tell you how the voice really works (nobody explain what is falsetto like in your book!...great!).
Now i hope to improve my vocal range.

Sorry! ...i bought...

Jaime, being a "professional" coach, I would have thought you would have read before just jumping on someone, Im kinda dissapointed in you. Pram

People better start recognizing who owns this site or I WILL start banning people!
