How To Increase Your Vocal Range

All voices have a natural range. When referring to range it means which notes are in the voice, i.e the lowest note to the highest note. Depending on the voice type it is possible to increase the vocal range either up or down by one or two notes.

Using head tones and the sounds that resonate in the portion of your upper cavity while singing is the only way to properly extend your vocal range completely without harming you or your singing organs.

When you sing with your head voice, make sure you are not straining yourself or your voice. If you look into a mirror as you practice, pay not only attention on the placement of your tongue and lips, but be sure that you do not see strain, which can be noticed by the appearance of veins that stick out in the neck and forehead.

A youthful singer who can reach the highest of notes can do so not only because of the elasticity of their vocal chords, but because they will easily move into the higher head tones without reflecting on how it is being done.
The other hand, when an adult learns to sing he or she will be able to consciously consider on a higher level what he or she is attempting to do. So, in some regard, it might be better if you are just now learning to sing, rather than when you were young. Now you have the discipline, know-how, and willingness to practice and learn on your side.

Basically, to learn how to increase vocal range, you must learn the 2 muscle coordination’s that allow you to sing in your higher vocal registers. These registers are called:-

1. Head voice
2. Mixed voice

In order for you to be in that select group of people who can easily hit a higher vocal range, you need to learn which muscles control your higher vocal registers, known as head voice and mixed voice. Using your mixed voice properly is really the primary issue.

Your mixed voice will allow you to sing higher notes, but with the richness and fullness you usually sing lower notes. That means, essentially, that you will no longer sing in a falsetto or nasal sounding voice when you try to sing notes in a higher vocal range.

If you’ve tried vocal range extension exercises in the past, only to get a sore throat and many wasted hours for your trouble, you may think vocal warm-ups are a waste of time. However, if you use the right vocal warm-ups and vocal training tips, you can be singing high notes easier in no time at all.

Once you understand some simple vocal warm-ups and vocal training tips, singing in your upper vocal registers will become so easy that it’s automatic. You’ll wonder why you were unable to do so before. Your vocal chords will easily adjust to allow you to continue singing higher notes.
Again it is important to note that to increase vocal range you have to be very careful that you do not do damage to your voice.
