Doubt about vocal range

Hi Camille, I've been putting in work all the tips you gave me but I came out with a problem. Today I could belt an A4 but was only by pushing with my lower body from an F4. I couldn't belt the A4 directly. And when I tried to do it with a more nasal sound it happened the same thing. Is it healthy to push with my lower body in order to hit the pitch? My throat did not hurt but it was exhausting for my body.

And also, how did you extend your vocal range? I mean, how was your routine to achieve this?

Hi, Tobias! I think it's totally normal (and helpful) to start at a lower pitch (like the F) as your foundation for higher pitches. 

And in my opinion, it's always preferable to feel your body working rather than your throat! It's a good sign that your body was tired instead of your throat. If you feel that you're pushing too much, try:

- Taking in a little less air (so there's less air to hold back)

- Reducing your volume slightly (if you go too quiet, you'll flip into head voice)

- Narrowing your vowels (think OH instead of AH) to bring more "head voice" sound into your mix

My routine for range extension within this chest/mix range is:

1. Touch the note (ex: 13531)

2. Repeat the note (ex: 1355531)

3. Sustain the note (ex: 135---31)

Hope that helps!

Great!

And for range extension in head voice. Are the same exercises(but with head voice)?

You can definitely use the same patterns, but sing on a head voice friendly vowel like OO or EE! I'd also use plenty of semi-occluded exercises. See here for a head voice stretching warmup!
