  • When you sing high notes, does it feel like you have to strain as you sing higher? A primary

  • cause of this is the vocal cords are not making the right adjustment. But, you can control

  • the vocal cords so you can sing high notes without straining or disconnecting. Watch

  • and see how. Hi, I'm Chuck Gilmore with Power To Sing. When you sing high notes and feel

  • a lot of strain, your vocal type is likely pulled chest-high larynx. There's several

  • reasons why it feels like a lot of strain. In this episode, I'm going to talk about the

  • role of the vocal cords. Why do you feel strain when you sing high notes? When you sing low

  • notes, the vocal cords are short and thick. As you sing higher, the vocal cords try to

  • stretch and thin to reduce the overall mass or weight. This will help you sing into your

  • head voice. As you sing higher, there is a handoff that is supposed to occur from one

  • portion of the vocal cord structure to another. If your vocal cords keep too much mass or

  • weight, this transition will not be able to occur. If we keep going higher, eventually

  • we will break into falsetto. (demo) Sometimes, we hold on so tight that it sounds yelled

  • and splatty. To keep going higher, you sing louder. This causes the vocal cords to tighten

  • even more as they resist the air from your lungs. This is classic pulled chest voice.

  • It's more obvious as you sing high notes louder and higher. Essentially, you are bringing

  • your lower chest voice, with thicker vocal cords, higher and higher into the area of

  • the voice that should be head voice. Singers who do this regularly develop vocal problems,

  • including hoarseness, hemorrhages or vocal nodules. If you don't learn to sing correctly,

  • this kind of singing can result in surgery and/or loss of a singing career. In the Knowledge

  • Center, go to pulled chest-high larynx and watch the video mashup of several singers

  • pulling chest. Several of these professionals have had surgery on their vocal cords because

  • of this vocal abuse. These are examples of how not to sing - exactly because they lead

  • to these vocal problems. How to thin the vocal cords as you sing high notes. Reduce the volume,

  • especially as you sing higher. Bringing down the loudness will immediately help reduce

  • the mass so the vocal cords maintain the vowel. Don't let it go wider as you sing higher.

  • A simple demonstration would be singing 'a'. As I sing higher, if I let it go wider, it

  • thickens the vocal cords. (demo) Can you hear how the vowel is widening, getting broader?

  • And you can hear that thickening result on the vocal cords itself. In a moment, I'll

  • show you a contrasting approach to that. I just performed the role of the king in the

  • King and I. And at the close of his song, A Puzzlement, the note repeats on the e above

  • middle c. The words are If my Lord in heaven Buddha show the way, Every day I try to live

  • another day. Watch as I illustrate reducing the volume. I'm going to do it a little bit

  • louder, then I'll bring the volume down. If my Lord in heaven Buddha show the way. Every

  • day I try to live another day. Watch as I illustrate reducing the volume. If my Lord

  • in heaven Buddha show the way, Every day I try to live another day. Listen what happens

  • when I allow the vowel to spread wider on the word 'way'. Notice how it splats. I can

  • also feel my vocal cords thickening and I feel much more strain. I'll try this a little

  • bit wider now. If my Lord in heaven Buddha show the way. Hear that? Here's a special

  • strategy. Narrow the vowel from 'a' to an Irish ey to prevent it from opening and splatting.

  • Listen as I narrow the vowel way closer to an Irish wey. Listen. Now I'm going to illustrate

  • taking the vowel and narrowing it a little bit. If my Lord in heaven Buddha show the

  • wey, Every day I try to live another dey. Hear it? The way. The wey. The way. The wey.

  • Here's two vocal exercises to reduce the mass of the vocal cords, so you can transition

  • into your head voice instead of pulling the chest voice up. These are beginning steps

  • to help you feel the vocal cords reduce in mass. You have to learn to accept this new

  • feeling before you can easily do it in songs. These exercises help you feel what it's like

  • to reduce the mass of the vocal cords and what it might feel like as you sing the high

  • notes. The first would be a Lip Trill on a 5-tone scale. (demo) The next exercise would

  • be a ney-ney-ney on a 5-tone scale. Ney-ney-ney. Now if I add a little bratty sound to it,

  • it makes it even easier. Ney-ney-ney. Notice I'm not doing it loud. Ney-ney-ney. I'm doing that a cappella. You get the idea.

  • You can hear how the vocal cords thin as the resonance goes higher. I'm not doing it loud.

  • On the ney-ney-ney, I'm adding just a little bit of a bratty sound. Do you know your vocal

  • type? I'm not talking about whether you're soprano, alto, tenor or bass. Your vocal type

  • is what you tend to do when you sing. Personally, my vocal type is pulled chest-high larynx.

  • That's one reason why I know so much about this vocal type. That's what I tend to do

  • when I sing. To discover your vocal type, visit PowerToSing.com and take the vocal test,

  • which I call the Power Test and get your vocal type. Then watch the videos about your vocal

  • type in the Knowledge Center. Download the free exercises for your vocal type and start

  • improving your voice immediately. I'm Chuck Gilmore with Power To Sing. You can sing higher

  • with beauty, confidence and power. I'll see you inside the next video. This is clastic.

  • This is clastic. clastic... ok
