How to Hit High Notes When Singing

Hi, Larissa Lam here on behalf of Expert Village we are continuing our series on proper vocal singing techniques and tips. And here's a tip for you right now: Now, a lot of people sort of struggle with those higher notes, and you can see people stretching their neck going, "Ah" trying to hit that high note. Well, here's something I want you to think about. When you're actually going for your high notes, think low. And I'm going to illustrate what I think about that and I'm going to give you another tip on how you bend your knees to illustrate thinking low when going for those high notes. This is another exercise where we're going to go through those "Ma ma mas" that I know you love so much. Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma. Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma. Make sure your vocal cords are nice and open, make sure your support on the diaphragm is nice and strong. Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma. Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma. Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma. Now, if it's starting to get high for you, try this little trick. Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma. Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma. Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma. Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma. Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma. So you'll bend your knees on that high note because it makes you think low, and for some reason, it's psychological, trust me you're going to be able to get to that higher note. Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma. Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma. Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma. Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma. Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma. Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma. Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma. Hopefully, you'll get used to thinking low so that when you're actually performing and singing, you won't have to bend your knees.
