How to Sing High Notes For Guys: The Complete Roadmap / Grow-The-Voice.com

[@roybarberjr.4489]

Finally a vocal coach who knows what to teach! Everything I've been taught has been magnified 10x with this guy in just three days!! Phil, you are awesome!!!

[@philmoufarrege]

wow that's pretty cool you've seen such big improvements from my free videos. what helped you the most?

[@roybarberjr.4489]

Well, I first saw your video on how to sing higher without straining, and you demonstrated a technique that in just 2 days, my highest note went from G4 to D5!! Of course I know I still have much to learn, so I suscribed to your channel that day. I've never had vocal lessons until I started college two years ago, and nothing my instructor told me made sense. Now when I see your constant series of vids, everything is starting to make sense! I just wanted to say thank you for accomplishing your goals and being humble in sharing your steps to greater success and clarity!

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

I loved that you get across to people that this takes training and you don't give us this "singing is effortless" story.

[@garrypenoliar3379]

I just can't believe it... I keep on practicing that exercise and i can now sing higher!!:') Before this, I can't reach D4 properly then after keep working then i can now hit G4.. Thanks Phil:)

[@philmoufarrege]

That's excellent Garry! If you want to take it even further get your hands on THE PRO SINGER'S VAULT here: prosingersvault.com

[@VocalLiberation]

What an excellent, excellent video, Phil! I really think you've hit the nail on the head on the foundational basics for singing high notes.

[@rubygutierrez7141]

My heart says yes ,but my vocal range says no. sucks, Help me learn how ho breath from the Diaphragm i wanna go to the A octaves

[@LucasTuckerSM]

Hi Phil! I've noticed that when I try to access my mix voice, i often jump an octave to falsetto, making it impossible to connect the notes. Have you heard of this problem? I don't know how to get past it. Thanks for the great vid! :)

[@deborahbarry8458]

Lucas Tucker It happens to me. Old habit from when I would absentmindedly sing along without really singing. Take some lessons, there is hope for you

[@Likethelegos]

Very helpful - thank you!

[@siddhantsharma1870]

That intro song 🙏

[@jaredcapejaronedumlao1229]

Honestly the best vocal tutorial of youtube so far

[@Igi293]

My chest voice is fine but when I begin to sing higher I just hit falsetto and hit the break in my voice like no head voice or anything. And my voice cracks and hurts. And the song I'm trying to sing is "Sky full of Stars" by Coldplay.

[@philmoufarrege]

This is how everyone starts off. Like I show in this video, there is a specific process to building the voice so that you can sing high notes in your real voice. www.grow-the-voice.com/contact-me.html

[@tjw52x]

Hi Phil, great video - thanks. I was wondering what you though of Jay Kay's voice from Jamiroquai, I've always really admired his singing, especially his early stuff e.g. Virtual Insanity, and how he always managed to soar to the high notes effortlessly, even though he does have a pretty low speaking voice. I was wondering if you might have an opinion on his technique. Thanks again.

[@CortesVics]

5:26 Damn! I always wanted to reach that note in Miguel's Adorn, but I always switch to falsetto. Is that mix voice?

[@philmoufarrege]

+Víctor Cortés yes mixed which is the same thing as full voice

[@worldhello3075]

It seems not easy as i imagine... i just get high note stuck in throat and feel something like i try to open but that lead the jaw and cheek to be hard .... everything is not ok,... :(

[@zaryangupta]

Lowest - E2 Highest Belt - G#4 Highest falsetto - C6

[@coltonspellman2067]

I'm a tenor with a chest voice range of A2-C#5 and head voice of D#5-E#5(small I know) but I cannot always hit the higher notes smoothly.

[@owenkorzec]

Did you write that background music? It sounds awesome

[@philmoufarrege]

No it's free from youtube.

[@owenkorzec]

do you happen to remember the exact video it was from? i'm SERIOUSLY digging it!

[@Direwoof]

I want to sing higher just so i can sing "take on me" but my voice is insanely deep.

[@EzraaaDave]

it's 2019, what camera are you using?

[@philmoufarrege]

holy shit I'm impressed you still remembered to come back after all this time! hahaha love you dude!!

[@snow-puppetsofficial360]

I already have King Diamond pitched vocals... Do I need to go any higher?

[@Igi293]

Plus I can't sing in tune unless if I hit falsetto. Besides all of that everything is fine like my style, articulation and vibrato.

[@philmoufarrege]

When we are reaching up for high notes we tend to fall flat. When we learn how to focus our resonance properly we can begin to LAND on TOP of the notes. This doesn't mean that is all there is to pitch, there are many factors. But perhaps this video may interest you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWa8Y4SlmrKsqa8

[@TheJournalisticBrony]

Hey, I'm curious about something. So, as a singer, who went through puberty, my range became limited (I couldn't even hit A3, yeah, it was a problem). But through time I grew from my range being G2-A3 to Eb2 - F#4. On extremely good days I can hit G4 and I have once even it G#4. My breathing and the way I have been singing has been right, but do you think puberty is causing my voice to be shortened. I feel the room and the space between any possible headroom is huge. Since I have the ability to belt every note in my range and there are very few in my uncontrollable headvoice (which I believe is somewhere around D5-C6, it's just a few notes my voice can hit). How do I build up my voice farther. I want to be able to hit A4 and up into C5 (I have some friends who can go higher). I'm 17 and my voice became deep around 14 years old. So, I am unsure if the amount of time that has passed hasn't been long enough for more of my range to come back.

[@philmoufarrege]

F#4 is the normal "break" for male tenors. This video shows you all the things that are required in order to extend your full voice up to as high you want. Actually applying these things is a different story and cannot be answered in a paragraph, it is answered through lessons and feedback to ensure you are doing it properly. You can take my free vocal assessment here and I will tell you what's going on: www.grow-the-voice.com/contact-me.html

[@toripatelli9036]

+Phil Moufarrege I can easily hit all up to 7 Octaves in head voice and whistle but I have to push hard to belt up to G5 why!!!!

[@andre-ue7pd]

thanks phil s2

[@mrandroid1176]

I can't sing but if I practice can I make my self sing

[@mouradbighrman9746]

Hi man, i'll tell you the lowest and the highest note I can hit and you tell me what type I am : Lowest note : F2 Highest note : G#4 Head voice : C6

[@philmoufarrege]

Mourad Bighrman human

[@mouradbighrman9746]

That's not funny. What's my voice type ?

[@kianoosh.]

Mourad Bighrman You are baritone , Im in same class

[@mouradbighrman9746]

That's better thank you

[@philmoufarrege]

Mourad Bighrman "That's Better thank you" so you just want any answer not necessarily one that's correct? Actually just listing your range is no indication of what "voice type" you are. As I said, you are human. Whether you are bass, baritone or tenor you can learn to sing higher than what you most likely will ever need because you are human and humans work a very certain way.

[@X2factorforjustice]

Ok, one question; are there any muscles that we must build to sing higher by singing and singing for years, or just technique?

[@philmoufarrege]

There is a degree of "muscle building" but it is more a case of muscle coordination. You don't need to go to the gym to sing high notes, you practice properly and the proper musculature will start to become coordinated properly, just the way it would if you were playing golf. Doing bicep curls wouldn't help you hit the ball better than tiger woods, it's all about practicing the movements correctly and accurately. If you practiced swinging your golf stick wrongly you could practice for 2 years and would not get the results someone gets who practices the swing correctly for 2 years. This is the same with singing. If you want me to tell you whether you are approaching things correctly, you can go check out my FREE vocal assessment here: grow-the-voice.com/contact-me.html

[@X2factorforjustice]

Ok thanks :)...haha, of course not gym, didnt mean that :D

[@bryanmarquez6844]

Teacher are you currently teaching?? I'm interested

[@philmoufarrege]

Absolutely. www.philmoufarrege.com for more details

[@yairalkon4944]

I am a 15 year old male, about seven months ago, I could sing from F4 to G#7, and now puberty came and had to fuck my high notes, an now I can sing from A3 to C6, and it's getting worse by the day. No matter what I do I can't get these high notes back, please help me out!

[@philmoufarrege]

Yair Alkon A3 to C6 sounds terrible to me, might as well just give up now! It sounds to me like you don't do any singing, if you did you would notice that the most important and used area in singing only spans about 2 octaves - E3-E5. Tell me what songs you need to sing that require the use of the 6th and 7th octave. You need to spend more time singing songs, creating songs and recording songs. Forget about range, you have more than enough for any song. Focus on quality now.

[@ianpauloxcv]

this is cool i could take some voice lessons via skyping 😱

[@philmoufarrege]

yes you could............but will you?

[@ianpauloxcv]

i'll see..,, but i think i really wil

[@haiducable]

Following your definition of chest voice, would you say operatic tenors sing their powerful high notes in "all chest voice" too? Do they use the same setup of laryngeal muscles as rock/pop singers do?

[@philmoufarrege]

Yes. Although most rock & pop singers don't dig in deeply nearly as much as the oldschool opera singers. singing opera requires a different feeling than singing contemporary but ithe technique I teach works for both.

[@haiducable]

Thanks. So then, in reverse, we could also say that if you can sing opera, you can also sing rock/pop with the same technique, right?

[@philmoufarrege]

yep but you'd need to adjust things to stylistically fit in.

[@sangityyy1700]

my high note is very bad can i will sing high

[@frostwobs]

I'm 16 and I changed my voice around a year ago and I used to be a treble that possibly hits around G5. Now I've got quite a low voice with around F2 to E4. Seems to me that I've got a rather small vocal range and I'm a baritone. With a falsetto I could sing possibly up to G5, but with a very light and ugly sound. Could I possibly get up to there with a chest voice or a firmer voice?

[@philmoufarrege]

yes

[@jakeknight9885]

omg I tested mine and it was exactly the same. I used to be a soprano before my voice changed, but now when I try to go high I either can't hit it, have to go facetto( which sounds super light and bad) or it just sounds super shaky

[@loloyo7954]

hi there, im 21 and has a really really deep talking voice and jazzy singing voice... but i've been trying to sing a song called "She's Gone by Steelheart" for years!! unfortunately i can't... my question is, does "everyone" can hit that high note no matter how deep their voice are?

[@philmoufarrege]

+Loloyo yes you can "hit" notes but singing them is a whole different story. Everyone has their sweet spot and someone with a lower voice will have high notes in a different position than someone with a naturally high voice already. having said that, you most likely haven't developed your range to anywhere near your potential

[@KichwaHuru]

Hi. Thanks a lot for the video -I have a question: recently in my warm up I went 2 notes above my vocal range (G1-G4) as a result I ve been experiencing some muscle strain kind of pain inside my throat. I have stopped singing fir 2 days but I can still feel strain pain. What is the right thing to do? advise please..

[@philmoufarrege]

Hi, sorry to hear about that. The right thing to do is to learn how to do this properly. You should not be having these problems. I recommend getting my singing course. You will never have these problems ever again. grow-the-voice.com/best-online-singing-course.html

[@EzraaaDave]

it's 2018, what camera are you using?

[@kevincorvallis]

D2-C5 Am I a bass or tenor, I feel a bit more comfortable singing low but I don't mind singing high

[@philmoufarrege]

+Kevin Lee you cannot determine vocal type by only range. See this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6eXn5Wpr7Jsrdk

[@syeofficial2351]

I'm a naturally Born Baritone and can only comfortably sing to F5 before having to resort to Falsetto.. Is there a way I can train my chest voice to become higher overtime? Maybe extend my range so someday I can be a Tenor? I'm 17 by the way

[@philmoufarrege]

I have made a free course on expanding the vocal range, have a look here: www.grow-the-voice.com/how-to-expand-your-vocal-range.html

[@matiaspereyra9375]

F5 is probablly the highest note a TENOR can sing so I guess maybe you mean F4?

[@TheXilentXoul]

Hey, Im a baritone and I like music from bands such as My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, and Panic! At the Disco, but I cant sing their music cause I cant hit all the notes in their songs. What can I do to be able to hit all those high notes and sing their songs well?

[@philmoufarrege]

Hi +TheXilentXoul did you watch the video? I'd love to know what your biggest take away from the video was. After that, head over to my website, sign up for the mailing list to get my best free training content. When you're ready for the in-depth training I have a course that will show you step by step how to increase your range.

[@TheXilentXoul]

+Phil Moufarrege I have seen the video, and I think my biggest take from the video is breath support. I can sing the scales and hit those notes. But I could never sing songs with those high notes.

[@JohnSmith-zn2jb]

My neck, jaw and tongue muscles feels strained after singing, my voice is also a bit hoarse, what am I doing wrong?

[@philmoufarrege]

Hi +John Smith lots of things unfortunately. let's get together and train, working this out by yourself is going to be very difficult for you. I'll teach how to create sound freely so that you can express yourself artistically. best wishes John www.grow-the-voice.com/singing-voice-lessons.html

[@GardenerRecords]

I can barely sing high notes. Nothing in this video I could sing. Im very annoying low. I practice everyday however but I ALWAYS get stuck on the 4th C note. (Not high at all) Please can someone help? or should i just quite because ive done everything hes said.

[@philmoufarrege]

***** you haven't "done everything he's said". This video isn't a list of things you "try" it's highlighting the phases of development that are involved in developing high ranged singing. See this video: www.grow-the-voice.com/vocal-exercises-to-improve-singing/

[@elvisosmanovic4846]

Something about u Phil screams "i studied with Ken Tamplin"...maybe im wrong

[@philmoufarrege]

Hi Elvis. I have studied Ken's method, Jaime Vendera's method, James Lugos method, Jim Gillettes and Seth Riggs method. Ken Tamplin and Jaime Vendera are good friends of mine and they are excellent coaches and people. All the methods I studied are very similar (SLS was the most different) and share the same key components of building a singing voice. No matter what method or teacher you choose to train with, there are always key fundamentals that NEVER CHANGE (except perhaps how they are explained). I think what makes me successfull as a teacher is my ability to really feel the issues a singer is having when hearing their voice and be able to explain things in a way they can understand. I have had many singers come to me that had studied GREAT TECHNIQUE but just didn't really know how to APPLY IT. It was my ability to explain things to them that helped them on the path of INTERPRETING GOOD TECHNIQUE CORRECTLY. I think this is the KEY to a singer having success. If you try to work the steering wheel in your car with your elbows it is going to be difficult, no matter how well the car is built. Likewise, even with the best methods and techniques...if you don't interpret them correctly you will still fail! The DELIVERY of the information is just as important a the actual information you are delivering. This is why I embrace the fact there are many coaches teaching similar methods...because not everyone resonates with the way a coach explains something, so they have many to pick from. My recommendation is to find a teacher that: 1. Can provide proof (either them singing, or students of theirs they have trained) 2. can explain the concepts and teachings in a way YOU UNDERSTAND. I hope this helps!

[@elvisosmanovic4846]

hehe ty for the awesome response...also i never meant it as a disrespect :)) i personally feel Robert Lunte is the best amongst them...THATS MY PERSONAL PREFF...but Ken Tamplin would be the secind best (and quite close)

[@chongz5249]

Hi Phil, how much is your lesson via skype

[@leecoplandsingingtips.2198]

taking off ken tamplin much?

[@philmoufarrege]

+Lemony Sherberts Ken is a good friend and teaches good things. I learned a lot of things off him as well as other good coaches like Jaime Vendera, James Lugo and Seth Riggs' material. I even learned stuff off Brett Manning's courses. Since then I have made my own discoveries and developments that separate my "method" quite a fair bit. Because I needed to find a way to sing both rock and rnb authentically. But I will stress that the body works a certain way and good technique is good technique. There really isn't anything "new". It was all worked out hundreds of years ago. So there definitely will be a resemblence, and in fact all the good teachers I just mentioned...I found all their teachings to be very similar because, well, good technique is good technique. Find someone who resonates with you and learn what they know. Best wishes.

[@edonismeve]

Beautiful words but.... As many other vocal coach you're always talking like everybody have the same kind of of vocal cords... If someone is a heavy baritone can sing just in his range because of his phisiology! Same for tenors... They can go high because of less weight in the voice! is not fair to make dream someone about something that will be never able to do... Just for money or ignorance.

[@philmoufarrege]

Everyone has different voices but high notes are not just reserved for tenors. Listen to Tom Jones. He can go higher than many tenors can and better than them because his voice is very strong and he sings with the right technique. People with lighter and higher voices will be able to SIT in the high range more comfortably, but people with low heavy voices can still hit those notes. Yes baritones can get to C5 etc in full voice. I teach people how to do this all the time. Sounds like you've given up or have had bad teachers in the past (or perhaps you've tried to unsuccessfully self teach yourself). You can't make judgements on my teaching method until you've actually studied with me - and if you had, you would be seeing results. The question now is, do you want to stay jaded and unsuccessfull or do you want to make a change?
