How to Expand Your Singing Voice Range

Have you always loved singing, but have had a small range and wanted to be able to sing out those high notes and belt out those low notes? Everybody has a head voice and a chest voice. Your head voice makes you sing higher, and your chest voice makes you sing lower. A lot of people have problems trying to sing high. This article will help you extend your range.

Steps

1. Find an experienced voice coach. Without realizing it you can damage your voice by incorrectly performing techniques. Vocal coaches are well worth the money (and are generally not too expensive).
2. Go to a piano where you can sing without disturbing anyone. Find the middle C key. If you don't know where this is, it is the middle white key right before the two black ones.
3. Now that you are on middle C begin by slowly going up the keyboard and matching your voices pitch to the notes until you can not sing any higher. On the highest note you can sing, take a deep breath and hold that note for as long as you can, then attempt to sing a note higher. Only go one higher note at a time, do no more than one per day. If you do more than one you could ruin your singing voice. You may not hit the next note up the first time just keep trying.
4. Find middle C again this time go down the keyboard. Match your pitch to the notes until you can't sing any lower. Repeat the same technique above. Remember one note a day.
5. Another thing you can do is practice singing from your lowest note to your highest note over and over again.
6. Practice this everyday and remember- developing your voice takes time it may take more than a week sometimes just to get one note.

Tips

* Bring water with you
* Read about proper breathing techniques before attempting this
* Stand up straight while doing this exercise
* There will be a point that you will reach where you can't sing any higher or any lower.
* This is for the young guys: Stop any vocal training for the low notes, and do less training for the high notes when you hit puberty and realize your voice is breaking and getting deeper. The extent of the changes in vocal range can never be determined until the voice is completely changed and your Adam's Apple is fully developed. You will lose some high notes for good.

Warnings

* You may lose your voice temporarily if you sing too much one day.
* If you do this exercise improperly you could have permanent vocal damage.
* Don't strain too hard. There are some notes that you won't be able to reach no matter what, so don't get mad at yourself!
* Don't overdo it. Take it little by little. I can't guarantee opera notes, but you may be able to extend your singing range a few notes.

Things You'll Need

* A piano
* Water
