Question
Am a singer and am a leader of a band.The major problem i have is that i cant hit high notes and it's giving me worries. What do i do?
Hi Desire,
I am not a singer and vocal pedagogy is a very delicate thing. I would suggest that you not strain your voice by tightening to get those notes. Perhaps a different key would work better.
Most importantly, I would suggest that you find a vocal coach or voice teacher (universities are great places to find them) to help you with this and to teach you how to preserve good vocal health in the future.
I hope this helps.
