Many singers wonder how to sing high notes with power and richness. The notes that fall within speaking voice range are easy to sing, but higher notes are notoriously difficult for beginners.
If you’d like to learn how to sing high notes without compromising your vocal quality, use these tips to get started:
How to Sing High Notes: Finding Your Upper Limit
You can find the upper limit of your vocal range by singing progressively higher notes until you can no longer sing comfortably. The highest note you can sing without straining is the top note on your natural vocal range.
Use a guitar, organ, or another properly tuned instrument to help you identify the notes in your range. Play a note, then match your voice to it. Keep doing this until you reach the top of your range.
Any notes above the top of your vocal range will require some practice. The goal is to learn how to sing high notes with good vocal control and without straining your voice.
How to Sing High Notes: Spanning Your Vocal Break
As you reach the top of your range, you will notice that there is a point where your voice changes in quality. The deeper notes are sung in your “chest voice”, which is close to your regular speaking voice. This is the voice that resonates deep in your throat or chest.
At some point, your voice will shift to a lighter, airier sound that reverberates in the top of your throat or back of your mouth. Some people describe this voice as nasal, but that’s not accurate. This higher, thinner voice is known as the “head voice”, because it resonates higher in your head.
The point where this switch occurs is known as your vocal break. Beginning singers find it difficult to sing notes immediately above and below this break, but with some practice, you can learn to bridge this break and sing most songs seamlessly.
How to Sing High Notes: Improving Your Head Voice
There are two major steps you can take to improve the quality of your head voice. First, you’ll need to develop your “mixed voice”, which is a combination of your chest and head voices.
The mixed voice is the result of practice; most people don’t come by it naturally, but experienced singers incorporate it so smoothly that it’s impossible to tell when they switch from chest voice to head voice.
To strengthen your mixed voice, you need to sing the notes around your vocal break. As you sing progressively higher, you should practice using a bit less of your chest voice and a bit more of your head voice. You can practice this skill by paying attention to where each note resonates in your throat and mouth, and putting slightly more emphasis on the “head” notes as you go along.
Over time, you will learn to place the notes where you want, making the transition from chest to head voice very smooth.
How to Sing High Notes: Breath and Diaphragm Support
The second part of singing higher notes with ease is learning to use your breathing and diaphragm to support the high notes. Without breath and diaphragm support, your head voice will sound thin and reedy. With breath and diaphragm support, it will sound rich and strong like your chest voice.
Practice rationing your voice as you exhale a note, not letting it out too fast. This will help you sustain high notes and give them just the right amount of breath support.
Your diaphragm is the muscle in your stomach area that flexes when you laugh or exhale sharply. Practice flexing it as you sing to give extra support to your high notes for a more powerful sound.
With your full vocal range and the power of your breath and diaphragm behind you, you’ll soon learn how to sing high notes like a pro – and how to belt out money notes your audience will never forget!

I’m Madi! I love music and I’ve been singing since I was a baby in the crib. I used to have a bit of trouble with my breathing and range. I was browsing online and came across Singorama and it’s completely helped to improve my vocals. Thank you SO much!
Jennifer Punt. USA:
I want to say THANK YOU for creating such an amazing system. I’m so impressed with the versatility of Singorama. It truly is made for beginners and advanced singers alike! I’ve been singing since childhood, but due to some negative experiences, I started to lack confidence in my singing ability and fear of performing started to creep in. Through the detailed vocal exercises and being able to hear my own voice, along with the Mini Recording Studio, I’ve been able to make the necessary adjustments in my voice, improve my range, fine tune my pitch, and get back the confidence I needed. Thank you so much for bring back my joy in singing!

Kwesi Williams. Maryland USA:
Hi this is Kwesi Williams. In 2005, I served as the Youth Minister at one of the alegence of the manual covenant church at Maryland. I was informed that we would be doing a live recording at the end of the year and I had about six months to prepare myself. I knew that I had some problems with pitch and so I got online and I started searching out programmes that would help me with my pitch and I discovered Singorama. I got Singorama, worked with Perfect Your Pitch Pro – the results were wonderful and dramatic! We did record the project and I lead two of the songs that featured on the project of the Manual Covenant Church Live In Worship. So I highly recommend Singorama for those that want to work with their pitch. I do have to say that I got so much more than what I was looking for. Singorama also helped me with my timing and with reading music. I’m also featured as a writer on the project. The tools of Singorama definitely helped me to put together songs that are worthy of being recorded. Thanks!
Helen. Pittsburgh:
I’ve always loved singing, but I never had the confidence to sing in front of other people. I set my mind to achieve a goal… and that goal was to sing in the local choir. I really needed some help though – I was like a timid mouse and couldn’t project my voice properly. My daughter came across a singing course online called Singorama, and I decided to give it a go. It was exactly what I needed to give me real insight into how the voice actually works and how to improve it. I’m so happy to say, that I am now a lead vocalist in my choir and couldn’t be happier!
John Elsfelder.USA
Yes, hello. My name is John Elsfelder. I have been very successful with your course. I am very pleased. I actually was able to improve my voice and go into a studio and record a song that I wrote and I am trying to make it in the business, even at my age. I’m 48 years old, but I am going to do it. And I had a great time in the studio and I can even send you my song, so you can hear how good it sounds. I think the course is awesome. I love the technique about warm-ups, I really liked that. It really has helped me. In fact, I did that before I actually went into the studio. Anyway, I have a finished song, and I’m going to do 3 Christmas songs, hand them out to my family for Christmas on December 9th, and on December 16th I am going into the studio to record 2 more songs that I have written. I have written 9 songs so far. I just want to make it into the business, I’m trying to get on the radio. Everyone that has listened to my song loves it, and if I could get radio airplay it would be a hit. I’m just trying to make it and your course has really helped me a lot. I really, really am glad that I bought your course.
