Hey guys! Can someone give me some advice on singing tenor for males?

Hello fellow Yahoo'ers! So basically, I've been trying to sing. But there are ways to sing that improve and doesn't hurt. I need some advice and info on how to sing higher. My range is a low bass (iuno name, it's really low though) F. While my highest tenor is F,


lol...


So can someone give me some advice on how to sing higher properly? Thanks!Hey guys! Can someone give me some advice on singing tenor for males?
Keep the weight and tension low on the low notes and increase it on the high notes. Start ascending scales softly/lightly on the low notes, and make the high note the loudest one. DO NOT carry the weight of your low notes up to the top or you will never get there. Also, open your mouth more as you get higher, raise your soft palate as high as you can, and show a little bit of your upper teeth when you get to the top. The cord tension should be nothing on the low notes, and should be very tensed with lots of breath energy on the higher notes. NOTE - this does not equal pushing the voice, which refers to carrying lots of weight. Keep the vowels open at first.





Also, at a certain point (note) you will need to modify your vowel. Start on pure ';aahh'; at the bottom and when you get to your limits, modify the vowel to ';awww';. This causes the cricothyroid muscle to contract, which passively lengthens the cords and allows you to reach higher notes than you previosuly could. Again, do so without carrying weight up to the top.





Also, realize that you are a bass and your cords are big and thick, so they will not be able to vibrate on as high a frequency as a tenor. You may have an Ab(4) or even A(4), but don't expect any high C's.





You will probably need a voice teacher to help you learn this correctly.Hey guys! Can someone give me some advice on singing tenor for males?
Vocal coach should help. Other two practically answered for me.





But I have a friend who will love this question!
what most people don't realize nowadays, is that every voice has its own individual limit. This comes along with such things as eye color, curls, and bone structure. Yes, training can help us achieve a note or two at either end of our built-in limits, but we just can't switch from one voice type to another. At least, not without radical surgery to the vocal mechanism, and frankly, I wouldn't want to bet on it.


For many men, it helps for a couple of months to test out the higher notes using the light falsetto sound. ( you know, where you imitate a girl or a little kid) This can help you get used to the feeling of using and hearing your voice in a light-weight quality, and takes away some of the deep-seated fear that most of us encounter when we meet up with ';head voice';. I mention this as a temporary device, and not to be used for any long term goals. Once you get used to the idea of lightening up the voice, you will need to start trying to achieve some of the height using your full voice. This is where you really want to have singing lessons. A teacher will help you get through the coordination difficulties of extra breath support/management, which is crucial to this part of your voice, as well as helping you fine-tune the vowels up there so that you are still understandable.


It's not something that happens quickly! Nor can I give you specific exercises here, because that's really irresponsible,never having heard you.


Bottom line- if you are a bass, get used to it. Make the best of it that you can. What good are high notes if the rest of the voice gets messed up in the process?
