3 Tips To Hit Your High “C” With Ease
All of us want to hit that "money" note! Rockin’ those soaring high notes is how I’ve helped many clients over the years steal the show in vocal competitions like Idol, the Voice and X-Factor!
I know that my ability to sing a high C without straining is the most important vocal skill that had me touring the world as the champion of a number of international singing competitions in my youth.
You too can join the small group of elite singers that can access these industry-best tips that will wow your audience every time.
So let's get right down to business: here are 3 essential tips to hit your high “C” with ease:
1. SMELL THE ROSES
Close your eyes and pretend you are smelling a beautiful bouquet of roses. What you should feel is the air freely traveling through your nasal pharynx and into your diaphragm. Establishing this relaxed feeling behind your cheeks will help create an open pathway for your sound to travel and reverberate.
2. IMAGINE AN INVISIBLE BALL
Imagine an invisible ball in the back of your throat. Let the jaw and larynx drop, lift your soft palate and let the tongue fall forward as you keep your throat open. You will block your resonance if you do not open this space every single time you sing high notes.
3. GUIDE YOUR SOUND LIKE AN ARROW
Our lower notes vibrate more in our mouth and chest; very similar to how it feels when we speak. But to sing high with POWER and EASE, you have to guide your sound to travel above your mouth and into the front of your face.
*****TOP INDUSTRY VOCAL TIP*****
The area behind your cheeks and nose is called your vocal mask. Visualize and then direct an arrow of sound to the vocal mask and BAM!!!--your sound will be bouncing off the walls of your face with impressive power and ease!
Singers, these tips are useless if you don't sing everyday with the intention to use implement these strategies to improve your range.

P.S. If you want to learn how to sing high notes with more POWER and EASE, I strongly recommend that you take a few solid months to focus on developing proper vocal technique.
I know all too well what it feels like to be inconsistent with practicing or to develop bad habits that make singing feel difficult. And it’s impossible to develop muscular coordination and strength when you take a few days off from practicing or fall off the horse for months!
