Hello

I am stuck at baritone voice and i'd like to increase my range. I've been doing the usual exercises.
Anyone know any good cds for that?
Like singing success type stuff.

thx

:( Jerks.

I basically have a problem with my second bridge around middle C. I am not able to hold onto the mixed chest and head voice and i switch into falsetto around G sharp.
It also sounds weak and strained from E to G sharp.

It comes with practice and time, but it may be that your body is not capable. <3s tho

Well if i can go beyond high C with falsetto, wouldn't you be able to follow logically that i should be able to hit that with head/chest voice?

Option 1: Shut yourself away, out of earshot of others and throw it out there. Try cover songs, write originals...point is, do it in a place where the only person who can hear you fuck up is you, and you might find you have ranges you wern't aware of. btw: you'll fuck up a lot to find the good stuff.

Option 2: Get a vocal coach. Usually they'll push you to explore your normal ranges beyond what you think you have. Some of them give you cds to take home that 'walk' your voice up the scales (to places that are initially awkward for you) Your voice is like a muscle, gotta work out properly to expand it...or so I've been told.

Number 1 i've done a million times.

Number two is already in progress (opera teacher).

Apparently i just have severe throat tightness.

My wife taught voice professionally for while.

I can tell you that if you can sing falsetto, then one thing you can do to improve your voice is to "smooth out" the transition from your normal throat voice going into the falsetto. Sit down with a piano/keyboard/guitar and determine the exact place where you start to want to sing in falsetto. Work endless scales over that, for about a year, and you'll notice improvement.

There's actually a lot of books available for learning voice. The best bet is to get a bunch of them (stfu this si libary), take the best parts of each, and work on it.

I've been working on the falsetto stuff.
anything run of the mill (cover voice is you go high, do endless scales, practice, try to switch from falsetto to chest/head voice,etc) i am doing.
I'm just wondering if im missing something.
I can hit a G above middle C, but i'm trying to extend to high C.
