Singing high and loud incorrectly is one of the fastest ways to get vocal nodules or other damage to your cords. Today I’m going to give you four exercises to help you sing higher and louder safely.  This has worked for students all over the world and it will work for you too.

 

How to Sing Higher and Louder Without Damaging Your Voice

 

#1. Sing “Ney” on a 5 tone and 1½  scale.

 

#2. Do the same exercises with an exaggerated witchy sound. The more witchy and exaggerated the better.

 

#3. Select the high part of the song you want to sing louder and stronger. Substitute the witchy “neys” in place of the words. Repeat this several times until you get comfortable with it.

 

Here’s my student, Kate, practicing this approach at her lesson.

 

#4. Now sing the words witchy the same way you did the exercises. The words should now feel witchy like the witchy “neys”.

 

Watch Kate again.

 

This has the effect of thinning out the chest voice so it’s not as heavy, and bringing the vocal cords together firmly enough so it doesn’t go into falsetto. The result is lighter than full, pulled up chest voice, but deeper than the disconnected falsetto tone.

 

Practice this until you feel the power and loudness increasing without straining. Start out softer but very witchy and gradually increase the witchiness and loudness. Discontinue if you feel straining or reaching.

 

Warning, if you lose the witchy coordination in the neys or the words, and you sing the words normal, you risk pulling chest voice too high and damaging your voice.
