So you're learning how to sing.
A couple of lip trills, a dozen "mamamas" and a few Hail Mary's should turn you into Chris Cornell in a few weeks, right?
I'm going to guess this whole singing thing is a LOT more challenging than you had first thought.
Why does everyone have to sing so damn HIGH, right?
Maybe you're wallowing away with a lower voice, or even strain and tension as you try desperately to get through exercises and scales before your voice gives out.
Or maybe you've given up because it was all just too hard.
There's an important reason WHY you've been finding it so hard - and it's the secret trick that amazing singers like Aretha Franklin, Chris Cornell, Layne Staley, Dio; name your favourite singer, basically - these singers ALL use this simple approach to sing better than you've ever dreamed.
And best yet, it's actually VERY easy to master.
It's not speech singing, it's not open throat, it's not "insert other fancy marketing term" - it's singing your vowels correctly.
"But Kegan" I hear you say "I already KNOW my vowels - AEIOU - what the hell are you talking about" - and it's a valid question.
Think about it - the sustained sound of a "vowel" when you sing is a frequency, right? Well, more than one frequency that compliment each other.
... And your PITCH is also a frequency, right?
And both of these frequencies are derived from vibration of the vocal folds, yes?
Ergo, as you ascend in range, you absolutely MUST alter the colour and shade of your vowel to match your changing pitch.
It really IS that simple.
In fact, there's THREE important skills that you need to develop to sing higher notes, and I'm going to share them with you in this simple to follow training video:
