Tip For High Notes For A Friend (E5 - A5)
18Here's a tip if anyone is hitting a brick wall around E5 and struggling to go much higher with their vocal range. You have to learn to mix more towards whistle voice as you go over that break, and you need to gain enough strength with this kind of coordination to allow those notes to happen and also to feel easy and consistent when they do (please don't argue over terminology, it helps no one and you all know what I mean anyway.)
Go as quiet as you can with a narrow vowel like Ooo or Eee and resist the urge to push air harder to try to make the notes vibrate. Learn to back off and let your voice go where it needs to go and with enough practice it'll happen sooner or later.
Only do a few minutes of this a day initially, or maybe even every other day as it can be very intense on your vocal folds due to how fast they're trying to vibrate.
Feel free to ask me questions, and good luck.
