hi Bill, i have problems with singing high notes. right now lowest i can go is C#2 and highest i can go succesfully is C4. i want to sing above that but after C4 i feel like i'm straining my voice.
there's a weird and cool technique you can do. actually there's 2. one is keep your head pointing straight forward. sometimes you think you want to sing the note up. you don't need to do that. sing it straight across even if it's high. but the other really crazy trick, this is a psychological trick, pretend you are singing down to the note. pretend it's not the highest note you can sing. pretend it's a low note and sing down to the note. like pretend you can sing way higher and sing down to it. here's another trick, this one comes from tony robbins, just close your eyes and imagine yourself singing the note clearly and beautifully. just visualize it happening, 10 times in a row. now try it. these are all interesting tricks. but don't forget to warm up before doing high notes and don't push hard, and if it hurts don't do it
