There are many movement techniques making singing better and helping to hit high notes. Among them are lip trilling, vocal sirens, larynx relaxation, and tongue tensions eliminations. The most common mistake made by singers is raising shoulders and pushing off with toes when ascending a scale or hitting a high note. They should better relax the chest, neck, and prepare the throat for sustaining the note.

The good vocalist should know which part of sounds he will sing using chest, and which part using the head.

Forcing yourself to sing all notes only with the diaphragm and chest might shred the vocal cords. Very important is also the proper warming up. It increases the blood flow going.

Each singer must remember to stay hydrated too. There are different conditions on each stage. Often neglected but no less important parts of the singer’s training are eating right and resting after each longer period of singing work. Because singing is hard work for the entire body.

Frequently asked questions about hitting high notes

Why do voices crack on high notes?

Ahh! The dreaded voice crack. Usually, this “break” as it’s commonly known happens with the perfect storm. It can be too much air is being pushed. The voice box (larynx) is being bridged UP. The placement of sound is wrong.
The sound is in the back causing a back ﬂow of air forcing the folds to cave. Not having the correct vowel modiﬁcations when needed or attempting to “belt” through a note. Also, if you are not properly warmed Up, singing intensely on a cold voice can create all sorts of uncomfortable sounds.

What to do if you can’t hit a high note?

We all have a physiology of our vocal folds. The gauge of the vocal folds can determine what your “natural” range is.

If you can’t hit a note, and you’ve never been able to, it is necessary to train and ease into getting there. If it’s a note you hit all the time and are now unable you must retrain to regain the range and control it. The truth is there is no “snake oil” here.
