How To Sing - High Notes

[@jamesamato6820]

2 important keys for high notes(mixed voice). Make sure to get proper breath support-breathe from your diaphragm. Its common for people to tense up when singing high notes. Loosen up and Breathe. Keep your whole body loose and relaxed. Also think down rather than up when singing a high note. One last thing, everyone has the ability to be a great singer. It just depends on how much of your time your willing to commit/dedicate to practice. All things are possible.

꩜ 6:00 ꩜ 8:26 ꩜ 9:33 ꩜ 10:14 ꩜ 11:37 ꩜ 12:20 Don’t anticipate the high notes, let the googs do the work. make sure your core is completely relaxed, don’t force any notes, don’t reach up and tighten for notes. Put your hand on your stomach. Talk out the googs

[@ericarceneaux]

Hey Christopher. This video is simply about learning to release into your upper register, blending the voice VS. pushing/yelling for it. HOWEVER, with experience, we can learn to add more intensity and chest voice resonance into the mix. Think of it as paint: Chest voice is black, head voice is white, mixed voice is grey. Those grey shades can be really dark grey (very chesty mix) or light grey (a headier mix). But, again, the very first step is learning to release into the mix itself.

I am here because I have always loved singing. I just have never had the nerve to sing front of others. I'm getting married in November and I want to praise my lord Jesus christ by singing! I want my high notes to be on point! Please pray for me because I am crapping myself just thinking of performing front if others 😫

Hey everybody! The link to part 2 of the video has been fixed. You can find the new link in the info box, in the upper right hand corner.

[@your1heelinamerica644]

Ive been practicing high notes and i sound like Mickey Mouse, does it get better over time?? Because i dont wanna sing like mickey mouse

[@Brianbravo2000]

You can be my Mickey mouse daddy 😍

[@mattnelson2539]

Jeremy spoke in class today EXACTLY

[@outkast512]

Did it get better?

[@lexijordan4253]

lmaooo this comment made my night. I feel u

[@listeningdeeply7007]

I know it's been a couple years since you wrote that comment but I hope this'll help. The Mickey Mouse voice comes when our vocal chords "disconnect", break apart from each other, and we go in falsetto. This exercise is great exactly for this purpose, to shift from chest voice into head voice keeping the vocal chords connected, without breaking into falsetto!

[@chillnndc]

I like he actually takes the time to go through a whole lesson like it was a class you were sitting in and paying for.

[@ericarceneaux]

Wassup folks! For NEW continued weekly vocal advice, make sure that you check out "The SINGERS' Show" on my channel every week! Ask questions, get answers, grow vocally... See y'all there!

[@UnholyMessiah555]

This video legitimately helped me break through with mixed voice technique. Previously I had a mixed voice but it was more metallic and chest-driven, now I've developed a headier one which is way less strained.

[@joyspel]

eric you are definitely the best voice teacher, thanks so much, your videos help me a loooot. i auditioned in a new choir and the first practice we did the same exercises you show us, i was like oh yes i know them, it won't be too hard

[@mamemu3130]

I love how you speak as if the person is right there in the room with you. I have my laptop down in front of me and it feels as though this is the case for me. Also, I appreciated your solely playing the scales because, occasionally, I find myself trying to match, not the key, but a coach's sound if I am doing the scale with them. It's hard focusing on myself when I'm focusing on them.

[@RiverDelphi]

Im gonna do this every day until I perfect my voice. You are truly a great, helpful person. Thanks for the video!

Dude, this is an amazing lesson! You are so kind to share your time and knowledge with us!

[@HappilyAnonymousGirl]

This may a bit random, but I thought about almost everything you said in this video while I was doing this exercise today. What’s amazing to me is the fact that I haven’t seen this video in like, 10 years. I guess you explain things so well that it’s really easy to remember. ‘Cause my memory is not that good lol. Thank you for the info. You’re a great vocal coach. God bless

[@lisazan8536]

This is the best video I've seen !! I had neck surgery one year ago , Im so impressed of what I just learned from you !! I so wish I Had someone like you to teach me up North !! Just so I could actually be. Physically practicing. I am not a professional singer. I always love to sing. I'm trying to work my way up to just be able to sing. I have been singing for the past 2 months. He's actually therapy for me. Also I watching you, I just learned so much, when I first went online to search for music lessons I felt as though a lot of teachers were basically teaching the same technique, but you have the most knowledge of teaching the best possible way, I would like to thank for all of your master techniques. I'm sticking with you. Sincerely Lisa d.

[@ivyrocha2709]

I'm finally improving and quickly getting the hang of not using too much head voice! I've always struggled with this and thought it was unfixable Thank You!!

[@cindys8629]

ivy rocha how did you do it? I keep cracking at the highness of the note 😭

[@PeacexXxLuvxXx]

Thank you SOOO much. I've been using my chest voice too much and you've saved me from a habit that could've inflicted my singing permanently. You've saved my life, I love you !

[@grayfullbuster9951]

Wow!! Your tutorials are really helpful!!!

[@sweetoserenity]

I tried your warm-up exercises and I already feel a difference singing! I am going to practice everyday!

[@muzikphanatic3]

Hey doc...I'm back. Tried other KZbin vocal coaches lost some range, and almost lost my voice trying to practice compressions and frying (think that's how it's sp). Wow, I'm back to your Approach and my throat feels so much better, cooler and more relaxed. Keep doing what your doing doc you've got the best vocal prescription. God bless...

[@miguelzacouteguy6260]

I was singing the scale and my parents opened up my door asking if I had a stroke... It worked tho hahha :')

[@scottbw123]

You are absolutely amazing. You showed me exactly what I was doing incorrectly and guided me to where I should be heading. I had one question though: I believe I have achieved mixed voice, but when singing in it, I notice that my voice will distort or make a kind of "vocal fry" sound. The same happens when I sing in head voice near my break. My break is around a G to A#. So, I'll be singing a note in mixed voice at a G and it will sound very unsupported and like it is going to topple over any moment. Do you have any suggestions for that?

[@shivanshdubey2571]

Practise notes below normal C and stop practising high notes for few days!! Hope it will help!

[@milemusic1]

i wish you were my vocal teacher..

[@findmyride]

[@tilinapple]

Do u have any tips to sing healthily and helpfully but quietly? I love singing around in the house but i live in an old apartment and its hard to get soundproof equipment. I think i end up straining my throat to sing quietly

[@cry4196]

i did that before and trust me it will ruin ur voice. im no expert but dont do that. not sure if its just me who's voice got ruined but istg dont do that

[@cynthiaokoroafor4223]

Wow. I rushed to check replies. This is also me.

[@victorysampson]

When singing only apply as much pressure as you would to talk. When you’re about to sing, imagine you’re just going to talk. If it comes out flat and just feels uncomfortable then you need to do his warmup videos. Hope this helped!

[@nono77999]

Love love love this thank you! I went to a vocalist for the longest time and i just felt like it wasnt doing much and she was explaining well i feel every different with how you do yours. i will deffinetly keep up with yours.

[@marcusmajalca9179]

I'm 13 in the 8th grade and I'm a big choir nerd and I've went through the voice change last year and I've tended to lost my entire head voice and I'm hoping this method will help bring back my head voice and make it easier to switch into falsetto. I've just been waiting for a year hoping my high notes would come back so I'm a little more faithful now.

[@brianmureverwi8085]

Marcus Majalca the same thing happened to me (I'm 14) and when I started this is I learned to use my head and I went nearly an octave higher in 3 months . I doubt all your notes will come back but most should

[@chang2744]

Marcus Majalca me too.. tat why I give up n stop.singing for 15years..

I think it's bit harder for guys because male singers in the charts have really high voices and most of us are bass/baritone, really helpful video though, thanks:)

[@debbieplace6358]

Hi Eric! I am a voice teacher of a 16 year old boy. we are right at the place you talk about in high notes 1. He likes to sing all of his high notes loud. He is very teachable and he works on it very hard. We are going to work on the GooG idea. Thank you for your help!

[@natashastanley8369]

[@billystone4615]

He's a bass-baritone. It just shows how high you can go with a well developed mix

[@ddholley4008]

I'm actually starting voice over work and though you're exercises are for singing voices, I'm finding them useful to help stabilize my speaking voice. I've also found I sing HORRIBLY. LOL That's ok, it's why I'm doing VOA rather than singing. Thanks for sharing these videos. My voice needs the warm up as I step into my studio to record whatever new piece of copy I've found interesting.

There are a lot of videos on here that teach you how to sing, but I have to say Eric you are my favorite!! Thank you for sharing :)

[@chrisdonnell7200]

Hey Eric, your videos have really helped me out in singing. However, I'm having the opposite problem from what you describe in the video, which was pushing to hard. I sing tenor 1 in my high schools men's choir, so I'm fairly familiar with my head voice. However, when I tried to go to this "mixed" voice, I simply fell into my falsetto. I'm having trouble not just jumping up into my head voice like I'm used to, and so far I've been unable to even feel the in-between voice your talking about.

[@ninarchiveinactive]

Don't have choir at my high school anymore, but this is a nice substitution! Subscribed!!!!!!

[@almightyaula9090]

If I can reach the higher and start pushing do I keep repeating the low notes ?

[@jackconnolly2665]

Dude! Well done. I've been looking for something like this and you are right on the money. Teachers tend to complicate things. You keep it simple and give a perfect example. I'm putting this to use right now! Thanks!!!
