I tried it all - cry, edge, twang, support, monkey sounds, lalala, mama exercises, mixed voice - but NOTHING really helped me learn how to hit high notes. In fact, finding ROCK singing tips in particular was always a struggle.

It's one thing to sing opera or classical - but what the hell was Chris Cornell doing? Layne Staley? Dio? Glenn Hughes? Robert Plant?

These guys weren't just singing "OH" with an oval mouth for every sound, they sang EVERY single word... and freakin' high too!

I personally took singing lessons for 7 years straight - and bookended the awful experience with a bunch of courses, books and thousands of hours of practice.

But I could never hit high notes.

Actually, my lower range sounded terrible too - three songs into a set and my voice was just DONE.

Straining, struggling, yelling, grunting.

No rock singing tips out there ever helped me.

Until I discovered that we're simply not all created equal.

Or more succinctly put - we've all got a different starting point as singer.

Different accents.

Different bone structures.

Hell, we've even got different SOCIAL dispositions too - and this all colours the way we need to learn how to sing.

After all, the voice is largely involuntary.

So, the way you FEEL and THINK and your INTENTION affects the way your voice works.

But more importantly, not all vowels are created equal.

AH is NOT the 'law' my friends, if you want to sing crazy high rock songs, then AY is the WAY!
