How To Sing High Notes
Since the dawn of modern singing, it seems as though the world has become obsessed with "hitting the high note".
But I think we need to take a closer look at why this is difficult and what else is involved in hitting this high note consistently and accurately.
What is incredibly overlooked is that building strength in the middle voice before the high note is the very foundation that helps us hit that high note over and over again with consistency.
In other words, a famous opera tenor named Caruso once said: "The deeper the roots, the taller the trees".
His point is that you must have that high note anchored in something that can sustain it.
Turns out that building stamina in the middle voice with confidence gives you not only the ability to buttress or "hold up" that high note, but the confidence to relax the body enough to hit that high note without strain or stress.
And the more we strengthen our voices from the ground up, the more consistency we have in hitting those high notes over and over.
I have a whole huge section on this in my singing course.

I don't want to sound cheesy but i freaking prayed to find a channel like this. Music is my whole thing and im a vocalist as a personal passion. I dont do much with it but ive been taking my singing seriously for a few years, for no real reason other than that its what i want to do, just for sake of doing it. I am a 30 year old woman and my range is not of the typical feminine but I thrive in the 80s glam rock. No other channel has truly provided what I have needed, by teaching, examples, and most importantly, my type of voice and range. I cant believe I stumbled upon this.

True story: I bought Ken's course a couple years ago. I now play in a "working" band. We play range of music including Foreigner (Feels Like The First Time, Hot Blooded), Boston (Foreplay Longtime), U2 (Vertigo) and The Darkness (I believe in a Thing Called Love). I've had 3 random people come up to me (all at different gigs) and ask me how I sing so well! One person said "you play until 1am... how does your voice get better as the night goes on?" I tell them the same thing: Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy!

Thanks a lot Ken. My neighbor knocked on my door and asked if I was okay. (I was singing along with you) So I explained that I’m okay, I’m doing a voice exercise with my vocal instructor. That changed her attitude right away. She saw my guitar hanging on the wall and said, “Wow, so you’re a musician then?” (She’s new our building) Everyone else knows I try to keep my singing at a low volume and my guitar through an amp and headphones. I said, “Yes, I’ve been a musician for over forty years and now I’m learning to sing from the best teacher I know. Sorry to bother you.” She nodded, “That’s so cool. Keep doing your thing. My name is Wendy.” (I told her my real name) “I know vocal exercises sound like a crazy person sometimes, and this apartment building is full of crazy people, so I understand your concern. I’m fine. Really.” Anyway, you got me in trouble again with the voice exercise thing, but it’s all good. I made a new friend who thought I might need an ambulance. I think I’ll plug in my guitar and headphones for a couple hours of silent practice and do my singing on the barges where I can go full volume and not disturb my neighbors, who are mostly fish. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving Day and thanks again for your incredible voice lessons. You’re the best, man. Aloha from Seattle.🤙🏼

I have a really funny story for you about that. A few years back I was Recording Bon Jovi's "Living on a prayer". In order to make the chorus sound right you have to stack a lot of vocals. And I mean a lot of vocals, like 40 tracks. As I sang the chorus over and over "Woah oh living on a prayer" my sweet elderly neighbor named Ron came banging on my door saying "Ken are you OK Ken are you OK" . He thought I was screaming "hey Ron I need help!" Gotta love your neighbors ha ha

I started performing when I was 10 or so. I could sing ANY high note..... I stopped performing about age 40. I stopped performing totally. AMAZING, in about 3 months, something happened to me which usually happens to boys at about age 12; my voice dropped. Considerably. As time has went by, my throat muscles had atrophied to where my range was severely restricted. I now have a great, deep voice.....but no range. Finding this video in my late 60's (as I once again re-enter the performing world) has been a Godsend to me. It brought back all those excercises I had in college as a music major and reminded me that everything is about musclature and of course, that old saying: "If you don't USE it, you LOSE it.". I'm taking these exercises to heart and even after a short period of time and finding an amazing recapture of some of my range.......with expectations of building back a good performing range. Thanks so much for sharing this. I'm now a subscriber and will check out all your other videos. I owe you a big one for this.

Wasn't looking for a vocal coach (not that couldn't use one but my life plate was more than full other ways) but Jesus dropped you in my sidebar & now I'm also an academy attendee because the cliche 'you're the real deal' applies. In a short time I've had impossibles evaporate & look forward to using some of your stuff to delivering more of my stuff. God bless you, Ken, your success is well deserved from all your valuable material just like this video, full of barrier breakers.

I love that you spent the last five minutes or so explaining vowel placement, timbre, and the passagio relative to bel canto; but not actual mention you were describing the bel canto foundation. Your approach is excellent. It's not nebulous or impractical. It's easy to conceptualize and visualize. Similarly, Luciano Pavarotti conducted a master class years ago and had the student--a young tenor--imagine his voice was a trumpet producing a bright, forward sounding note with the same quality. When it comes to singing, there's so much more to teaching than just spewing out a bunch of technical jargon. 👍👍

I have always been a fan of you Ken. This is a wonderful demonstration. I studied voice for four years doing all classical singing and as you say the proof is in the singing. Good technique is good technique no matter what style of music. My first teacher took time to show me the anatomy of the muscles and moving parts in our bodies that are used with the voice. There are no short cuts and I love the point you make about giving the voice a foundation for high note (not hit, but place). Now, I am a songwriter/performer in Americana/folk-rock and use these techniques all of the time in my own music with a foundation in studying voice for four years. You know you anatomy of the voice and I continue to learn and grow from you, Ken. Thank-you for the great lesson.

I have always been amazed at the range and tone you have been able to sing with. You have this ability to be both singing very high notes while also maintaining a vocal tone that sounds deep. It's like you're using your chest voice and your head voice at the same time. You and David Coverdale were the only rock singers I have ever heard that could pull this off.

Amazing video as always! I've always been thought of as a baritone, because I hardly could get pass F#4. But there was something I couldn't get - I had even more problems singing low notes, that a baritone should be able to sing with ease. It wasn't until I had gone to music school, when I was told I'm actually a tenor. I didn't believe it, so my teacher kind of suprised me - even at the top of my range, he insisted I keep going up with the proper support and... We went up to B4 easily. Practice and technique are really the only relevant way, and despite having a break in music... Thanks to your vid I might consider going back at it 🤠 Cheers and keep up the great work, you're an amazing teacher!

I have a long way to go. I am a baritone with a top G, occasionally an A, but the other day I was doing some scale exercises and what do you know, G came up, and A was no effort, and B and C shortly thereafter with hardly an effort, and it was chest voice. Just like that - a fourth above my supposed highest note. But when I sing for real, I tense up and then blow even a G. So thanks for the info, I have joined the academy and I'm keen to improve. Instinctively, I know what it's supposed to feel like, I get it sometimes, but very often I blow chunks especially when I have to jump to the top note, and psychological apprehension sets in. Thanks for the video, your videos are really useful, positive and motivating.... and I'm looking forward to improving.

It´s always such a pleasure to hear you explain this things Ken, you have such a gently way of putting it, mixed with a serious and funny approach to it. :)

I couldn’t find any good tips from other sources and since I’m singing in spanish there wasn’t many useful videos. But this was very helpful, all I had to do was convert some sounds and tones but it’s pretty much the same. Thanks a bunch 👍

Thanks for sharing this video, and I hope that you had a good Thanksgiving. I get a lot of compliments on the way I hit high notes at my open mic nights by people who tell me that my singing reminds them of singers like Neil Young and Smokey Robinson.

Ken, do you have like a vocal "grading sheet" where you can assess a performance and grade the singer on everything voice related so then you have a starting point for things to work on? Tone, timber, width, breadth, vibrato, chest voice, head voice, on pitch or off pitch, range, pleasantness, dip-thongs, over-singing, control, power, low and high.... and a thousand other ways to judge the voice/performance.. and in conjunction is there like a standard piece that you would use as a barometer/test starting point to test a vocalist to see where they are at, and what they need to work on.

Always a big thumbs up to your content. My singing teacher always says, you should sing songs that fit you, but i still love songs like the slow version of Take on me that isnt naturally for me, but i still force my self to be able to and despite him not liking me to do it, he supports me and today iam able to reach those high notes quite easily. Singing is so much practice and ppl tend to be unpatient ^^ i was too. Much love to all those good ppl out there.

I've just come across your channel and this is the first video of yours that I'm watching. As someone who had to practise a lot to improve my voice, I find this video fascinating. My voice has a long way to go from where I'd like it to be, but I do enjoy singing low and high. I look forward to checking out more of your teachings. Thank you 🙂

Thanks for these. Just kept singing higher and higher with your encouragement! Must have just gained an octave in 10 minutes and not going to stop now!

I never psych myself out by thinking about high notes and I relax into it which I think makes it very simple. I think some people strain to reach high notes because they think about it coming up. I totally agree with you. Go Bri.👊
