So you're trying to learn how to sing higher, but nothing seems to work - twang, support, mixed voice; you've literally tried it all with no results.

Maybe you're just destined to be a bad singer that can't sing high notes?

That's definitely how I felt when I first started taking singing lessons.

In fact, my very first singing teacher told me unceremoniously that I "would never sing anything higher than Johnny Cash songs".

I'd like to think I've proved her wrong to the power of 100...

And that crazy improvement really comes down to one simple lesson that I'm about to share with you.

It's not some crazy donkey sound, monkey noises or squeaking like a mouse as part of your warmup - it's a simple shift in your understanding of HOW the voice really works.

So, the pitch that you sing - literally, the note that you're singing - is derived directly from the speed of vibration of your vocal folds. Your 'fundamental' frequency if you will.

For example, 440hz is an A4 note, period.

Now, the VOWEL that you're singing is also a frequency (well, two frequencies if you want to get technical), and this frequency is a derivative/multiple/integer of the same speed of vibration of your vocal folds that your pitch is created from.

Meaning, your PITCH is a frequency, and your VOWEL is a frequency derivative of your pitch.

So, when you sing a vowel, or even a word - but you then increase your pitch, what happens to the frequencies that were creating this vowel in relation to your pitch?

In short, your pitch and your vowel are related - once you learn to relate these two frequencies to each other as you ascend, high notes become INCREDIBLY easy, POWER and RESONANT.

Basically, you sing a pitch and simply "receive" the words as a derivative of this pitch.

How many times have you tried to SHOUT out the highest word in a vocal line? Literally straining to push this word out?

That's because your pitch and the frequency of the vowel have become uncomplimentary to each other.

You can't sing that sound on that pitch, basically.

Once you wrap your head around this simple but powerful understanding of how the voice really functions, your life is going to CHANGE as a singer.

Here's how to get started;
