HOW TO FLOAT HIGH PITCHES FOR SOPRANO (Opera)

[@dudaseifert]

Freya, thank you so much! i'm a countertenor and i'll have to fill in for a soprano in a solo this sunday, i was having so much trouble nailing the E5 and with these techniques i was finally able to do it. let's hope i can do it live as well

Oh my goodness, I have to show this video to my daughter immediately! She sang Panis Angelicus by Cesar Franck last spring in a music festival and she struggled with this and the judges wrote down for her to work on the pharyngial space because she did choke and struggle with the resonation. Although she was very nervous singing also, so it wasn't easy once you have the nerves going on. I get what the problem was now! This will be our go-to video for the next new songs she will work on this year!

This is another great video to everyone who loves to sing. I must try to do this for my exercises, additional in my lists as daily routine, practice slowly. My heartfelt thanks to you, Madam Freya.❤

I found this video just in time 😂. I’m working on strengthening my upper range and was like, “i need a video”

Love this! Thank you! I've been singing for years and often switch between classical, pop, gospel and jazz. After singing quite a bit of gospel recently, I needed a refresher in elongating the mouth and soft palate.

Hi Freya...I'm training as an 18 year old countertenor who wants to be able to sing better in head voice. I'm looking forward to singing as a sopranista countertenor. My tessitura and tonal color will fit a mezzo soprano and I have a range that reaches D6 but sits comfortably on B5/C6. But the problem I'm facing here is transition from falsetto to head voice between Eb5 and F5. Some days I can't get into head voice easily...only a strong falsetto till Eb5 and then I have to become a different person with all these manipulations sometimes to get to the head voice. my idols are Jacob Orlinski, Bruno De Sa and Maayan Litcht... I would really like to sing better. Any help?😢

Hi Freya, which beautiful opera aria were you singing? And many thanks for your videos, you help me a lot now that I can't afford singing lessons anymore. One thing I do very wrong, when I sing very, very high notes, is to freeze and I didn't do it some years ago, but now I do. Need to get rid of that.

I need help. What to do with straining? I am a soprano and have a high voice, but my problem is in singing high notes (from g5). They're not clear and it feels like something is in my throat, it's straining and does not sound good. I don't know how to get rid of it and free the flow to be my voice clear. The problem is in my neck, not breathing. Any advices or exercises?

[@sammig.8286]

I'm also a singer with not much training, but something that helps me is thinking about singing "on top of the note". So in terms of pitch, it's better to start almost a little sharp and then rest down onto the note, instead of starting off flat and then having to reach up to the note. Obviously, the goal is to sing the note in tune, but if you imagine that you are ready to sing higher than the note and are just coming down slightly to rest on the correct pitch, then it helps.

Guten tag Freya,

[@suzannederringer1607]

Joan Sutherland never seemed to be able to float. Caballe OTOH was the master of floated high notes.

[@helena8663]

Is it good if I sing when I'm sick?

[@nadiakwaramba7246]

nope! when you’re almost recovering, start with some gentle warmups to ease back into it
