How to expand the vocal range?

Each person is born with a fixed vocal range. You can not really expand what is given to you by nature, but you can learn to sing the notes at the top and bottom of your range more comfortable. This article will show you how.

Steps:

1. Determine the limits of your range. Play notes on the keyboard Up and compare with your voice. Play and sing the notes down as long as you can sing comfortably. Do the same in the upper end of the range.
2. crucified. This is critical to your voice, and is especially important when working with high notes. The voice - a very delicate instrument, and very loud, fast singing without raspevki can damage your cords.
3. Serious singers have audio raspevki, ideally - individually razarabotany and written by each separately.
4. Learn how to sing before they will try to extend the range. Otherwise, chanting too low and / or high notes in the wrong and uncomfortable positions sooner or later hurt your voice.
5. Do vocal exercises that allow you to just "touch" is too low or high notes (in staccato). Do not linger on the notes that you are not comfortable. Focus on keeping your throat relaxed, and proper breathing.
6. Keep good posture. His shoulders dropped and relaxed, back straight. Do not tilt your head and do not pull your neck, trying to get a high note, because when you do that, the neck muscles tense, strained voice. The neck should be straight.
7. Practice breathing. If you lie down, relax and put your hand on your stomach, feel as he goes up and down when you breathe. When you sing, a little belly is inflated during inspiration. This will allow you to completely fill the lungs with air. When you exhale (ie, when the singing) is slowly set in motion by the stomach, using all the muscles of the diaphragm, in the area just below the navel. This will help you to sing a note longer and control your sound.
8. Sing songs that have notes slightly lower or higher than it is in your range. The more you practice this, the faster you get results! Importantly, do not forget about the descant!
9. yawn. Pay attention to the shape of your mouth and the back of the throat when you sing. Ideal: the jaw "dropped" down the back of the mouth is open. So you get more light sound (and light high notes).

Tips
• Avoid hard liquor and drugs. Smoking cigarettes / cigar / hookah will prevent you not only in life but also in the vocals (and even more so in the expansion of the range).
• Do not do anything wrong, which could negatively affect your vocal cords.
• Drink plenty of water.
