So you're looking for singing tips tricks and techniques to help you sing higher notes? What is the magic secret to singing high notes in a powerful way?

You've probably heard terms like support, twang, placement, belting and even open throat before - but no matter how many different things you try, you just can't work out how to sing high notes in a repeatable, consistent, awesome way.

Many of these common singing tips tricks and terms are often touted as the big secret to better singing.

But when you try them, you'd be lucky to gain one extra not of range - and you sound weird while doing this stuff, right?

What if I told you there's actually something MUCH more important you need to learn and apply in your singing FIRST before any of this other stuff is going to work?

It's true - the overlooked fundamental in most singing approaches is actually VOWELS.

I'm not talking about A, E, I, O, U like our written representations in speech - I'm talking about the vowels that are going to help you nail high notes consistently, powerfully EVERY single time.

Let's first talk about what a vowel really is when we're talking in singing terms. Did you know there's actually two different families of vowels - ones with a smaller first formant, and ones with a smaller second formant?

No?

That's why none of that other stuff everyone keeps blabbing about works for you.

Because you lack a fundamental understanding of what vowels are and how they relate to singing better.

Don't let the title of this video fool you, it's actually about how to sing your VOWELS properly;
