voice HELP

[iceyfresh]

ok guys so my band has changed now im lead singer and rhythm :D in stead of rhythm guitar. when ever a sing a high note my voice cracks bad when will this stop and can some poeple tell me how long the voice cracking thing lasted for them. please help this is driving me crazy!:(:mad:

[sunsings]

to be honnest i dont believe there is a exact time frame for how long this will last, it is just another part of puberty. for me it did not last that long but it still happens now and then but not much. sorry i cant give you an exact date

by the way i envy you for being able to sing it is something i have always wanted to do.

Poor Icey! Alas, there's not much to do here about this, the cracking is something you just have to deal with for a little while longer!

Try not hitting those high notes, figure out what your range is w/o the cracks, how high you can go just before it happens, and then stay in that range.

[Nick_nap]

Well for me it lasted like a couple weeks; but after I finished I developed an awesome singing voice.(Its totally awesome) Only time will tell, and if you're as lucky as me you will have an awesome voice. Oh, and also figure out your voice range. It might help to transpose the songs to different scales so you can sing better

i am going through the same thing it should stop soon from what ive heard

[NickNightcrawler]

I'm 13, but it only lasted a couple, awful, months when I was 12.

[staying_alive]

Yeah it shouldn't last too long. It lasted a month or two for me, and i mainly just trained my voice more and more to hit the highs without going overboard and making it crack. Obviously this is not possible early in the stage, because it cracks at simply everything you say. But in time it will recover, just relax and enjoy the ride.

It really isn't the same for all boys. Sometimes it changes quickly, other times it doesn't. Sam's advice is pretty good. As a trained singer, that is what I would suggest you to do. Learn your voice and where it cracks normally. You should be able to stop the cracking in a month or so.

However, you should always try to use your falsetto voice as I have been using it when I reach high notes that are not in my range. (I'm a tenor who has a changing voice, and I can reach to High F in Treble easily with my falsetto voice.)

For some people it takes a long time, for some other people it doesn't take very long at all, so who knows?

[Jman35]

it may not be a crack, usually when I say something in a high pitched voice, my voice doesnt crack, but the note I'm doing breaks and jumps.

Completely normal.

[Specter]

It’ll stop when your body is ready, that’s the most I can tell you.

[HikaruTheHunter]

For that to stop you need training. Of course it has to do with puberty as well, but it also has to do with training your vocal chords to reach up there in your super head voice, but also will be able to reach your chest voice without a problem.

Along with that, there are alternatives on how to reach those. You can: A. Try to get into your falsetto, which is your head voice but not super head. Falsetto sounds higher pitched but it should reduce the cracks.

B. Of course, make it to your super head voice. This can be done by extensive training of your vocal chords to reach the high Cs and what not. This also works well with Falsetto.

So just keep on working on it man.

I think you actually cant stop it and none of us can knwo the exact time when it'll happen

[HikaruTheHunter]

I think you actually cant stop it and none of us can knwo the exact time when it'll happen

As I said above, it takes training to control when it happens and when it doesn't in singing. Falsetto, or head voice, is one of those things that can help in vocals to control the higher pitches instead of doing them accidentally.

[The Joker]

Hmmm, why are you now the lead singer, if you can't hit high notes?
