Ep.77:How to Train My Voice to Sing Higher
#3 - Advanced Exercise Coordinates Muscles

In this 3rd episode on singing higher, you
will receive an advanced exercise that builds

even more coordination and balance within
the vocal cords.

This particular exercise will challenge you
and get you ready for songs. Hold on to your

vocal cords.

Hi! I’m Chuck Gilmore with Power To Sing.

How to Train My Voice to Sing Higher

This advanced exercise further coordinates
and balances the air from your lungs with

the vocal cords. It is more advanced because
there are larger jumps between notes.

It’s called an arpeggio. You can do it with
the “goo” or the Bubble Lips. And here’s

a third exercise that will help you train
your voice to sing higher.

It’s called the tongue trill. It is done
like this. [Demo] Here’s the arpeggio with

the tongue trill.

Men your bottom note is the Ab below Middle
C. Women, your bottom note is the Middle C#.

Both voices moves 4 half-steps down and back.
First Men.

Now Women

After doing the tongue trill, try using the
“goo” or bubble lips with the arpeggio

on the same note like this. [Demo]

The vocal cords will have to adjust faster
in order to tune for the next pitch. This

demands more coordination and balance between
the air flow and the vocal cords.

Like the other exercises it helps isolate
the vocal cords and disengage the outer muscles

surrounding the larynx. This helps the vocal
cords build their own intrinsic strength and

power.

How to Train My Voice to Sing Higher - Arpeggio
Tips

Here are some arpeggio tips.

Like the other exercises, do the arpeggio
medium or medium soft especially at first.

Get softer, not louder as you sing higher.

Watch Episodes 15-16 about using the diaphragm
to help supply your vocal cords with air.

When using “goo” guard against unwanted
tension. The arpeggio will tempt you to grab

with tension like this. [Demo] Go slower and
lighter.

Drop the “g” in “goo” and just use
the “oo”. This will be easier to go faster.

[Demo]

If you break into falsetto, follow the tips
in Episode 76 and use the hootie sound. You

can also bend over 90 degrees like you do
in the other exercises, like this. [Demo]

The arpeggio will develop your ability to
sing higher without grabbing or tension. It’s

also more like a song where pitches jump around
from high to low and though the bridges of

the voice.

As you get better at these exercises you will
be able to sing higher without gripping, grabbing

or tension.

This is a frequent problem with singers whose
vocal type is pulled chest-high larynx and

often the flip-falsetto. Do you know your
vocal type?

Your vocal type is what you tend to do when
you sing. Visit PowerToSing.com and take the

PowerTest, which is a vocal test that will
reveal your vocal type. Take the quiz and

get your vocal type. Then go to the Knowledge
Center and watch the videos about your vocal

type.
