How to improve your voice range on you own?

Hi tiffnkeat, Go to sing frequently,it's the way i improve singing,people here lvoe to go to KTV,sing every different songs. Singing loudly is the first challenge,you don't care whether out-of-tune or not,and then correct your tune and falsetto.Now friends all like to sing high key songs,i'm together sometimes,not good,but really improve.

It is very important that while improving your voice range that you do not injure the vocal cords. There are certain specific voice exercises you must do to improve and not injure them. This I know as my boyfriend is an actor and also teach Voice lessons. Best of luck and make sure you practice appropriately.

Good Day! I also used to sing but the range of my voice is low. Just keep on practicing because Practice makes perfect.

You can definitely train your voice into getting a broader range, but it's important that you do warm up exercises and try out certain techniques. Don't focus on the range, but especially on better technique if that is what you lack. I could advice you a very good practical book on this subject: Katrin Sadolin: "The complete vocal technique". The book explains subjects like falsetto, belting etc. One of the things that I think is important in singing is learning to relax. Most people are taught to take a good posture, stand up straight, so that air can travel freely through the lungs, throat and mouth. This is not bad advice on itself, but somehow we tend to be too stressed because of this advice and we start to tense up muscles that we don't need for singing. Try the next exercise when trying to sing (low notes or high notes): Make sure your chin is loose, this means can move freely without strain from the upper part of your mouth. Touch your face with the tips of your fingers at your cheek bones to your thumbs at your chin. Then after that, try to feel under your chin with your two thumbs, make sure that this spot is also quite relaxed when singing. It takes some practice to relax both cheek, neck and chin muscles while singing, so it's better to start this exercise while humming instead of singing, afterwards start to make vowel noises (like aaaa) start low, try to "slide" up higher, like a motor getting into a higher amount of tours per minute. Before you get into the subject of falsetto, I suggest you read something on the importance of support while singing. Usually when people try to get into falsetto, there's this sort of vocal break or too big a vocal break (there's always a little bit of a break, but it can be minimalized). It's mostly easier for them if they know something about support while singing. Then you can get perhaps more into the problem of "constriction" that could trouble the vocal cords. Constriction will occur more often with higher notes because then the vocal cords have to stretch and therefore also narrow. The problems most singers have with higher notes are caused by the fact that they try to keep the same width of the vocal cords, but this always involves extra muscular tension (which is no good for singing). When this happens there is a kind of competition between stretching of the vocal cords and the muscles trying to keep the same width of the vocal cords. The moment you have a vocal break, means that the stretching of the vocal cords overruled suddenly. This is not a change of register, but a battle between "two different systems". My advice, try this first exercise once, then read the book or parts of the book I mentioned above and especially, never force the singing, relax, let it glide and above it all: enjoy!
