I had the same issue! Singing, especially mixed voice, is an insanely hard skill to master. I’ve managed to reach a relatively consistent G4-G#4 as my highest performable note when it used to be hard to even sustain an E. You can do it!

@@cs8935 as a baritone its so damn easy to sing high once you learn how to use your vocal cords...i don't even warm up. The key all along was to relax the throat like yawning...after that is placement...what that means is making the voice resonate in your head...making the voice of a bratty kid or a nerd or a duck....should sound nasal when you start practicing (this is what they called mixed voice) once you know what muscles you're working with when doing those sounds...stretch the vocal cords to reach higher notes...NEVER YELL....and play around with the tone...open the jaw the mouth add more compression to make the sound that you like the most. Personally I like a dark beefy chesty and raspy sound so I add all of that (look up blurry eyes from larc en ciel Live...with the blue screen in the back...yup that guys a baritone). There should be NO TENSION whatsoever between the vocal cords and the belly....everything should be free like talking. The only part you should feel tension is your abs.

Fantastic instructional video, @nickhiggsthesinger. I've watched a lot of videos on this subject, and yours is top notch IMHO. Bravo!

Great tips - I sing classical and am trying to extend my range. Consonants going into high notes are a real killer, I think that we can work around that with modified consonants if we are singing without amplification but being micd makes it hard to hide the cheats.

Very helpful video! I also really appreciate how you clarify that you have also experienced the hardships I'm dealing with right now. It helps me keep hope that there isn't something just wrong with me, lol

This is probably the most helpful video on this topic I've seen. I'd love to see more like this.

Something that really helped me was spending time singing with my falsetto. My falsetto sounds terrible, but working on it made my voice much more flexible. A strong mixed voice would be absolutely essential as a baritone singing above an F, but I wouldn't go too far with it. Focus on singing everything beautifully even, and the high notes will come!

Please make a video about low notes

great video and very good explanation. I hope it will help me to sing higher. tired of having a bass voice, i can play lots of instruments but my singing is so bad and low that i slowly lose interest in singing songs. playing instrumental gets very boring at a certain point and i would just love to be able to just sing properly and actually playing the full songs inclusive vocals. i will follow your videos and hope it will help me get better. Thanks for helpful video.

I’m working on singing E4. I’m fairly new so I’m just getting over D4

For really i think you will help me

I’m back, i understand this a lot more

i dont care much for singing high but this is pretty insightful, it is quite hard to find content for singing better low though

Hi, when you inhale... take your stomach in and up, when you sing, move the air down towards the diaphragm. The idea is to move pressure from cords on high notes, to let them move freely. And let the cords be free at that moment, you must control air, but not cords. :) They must vibrate just the edges, and they will. (Don't expect a high sound in the throat, vibration will be outside and up if you do it correctly)

tips in the video are kinda too basic. things which I would’ve definitely added: mixed voice(thinning chord closure, instead of trying to belt it with thick chord closure), slightly upper larynx, twang, using proper resonators.

What if you can sing certain high notes with no real effort yet your voice sounds ugly, unclean, strident?

I just wish Josh would keep singing the beautiful baritone tones and stop trying to be a tenor.

Well.. First of all - you sang "raise me up" an octave below then in the sheet. Second - which notes you think are high for bass/baritone?
