Singing

[nicetomeetyou]

Hi i like singing sometimes. However my voice strains sometimes and its hard to hit complicated notes.Does anyone else have this problem.

Lol my voice is breaking aswell- probably why it happens

[MisterAndrews]

Its probably the fact that your voice is breaking, but it could just be that men find it harder to do more complex sounds when we sing, because our vocal chords are bigger.

[nicetomeetyou]

yeah thats what i think, ill just have to keep practising and rest my voice while it is still breaking

Hi there I saw this and I knew I had to answer it. I have been singing since I was 4 years old and still do. I have gone on to become a vocal coach and I am only 16. What you are going through is simple "puberty." The thing is while your trying to hit those notes your throat constricts and there isn't enough air getting to your diaphram. All you need to do is relaxe your throat and take good breathes. And eventually you can sing like me. I am 16 and my vocal rang is from BASS to HIGH SAPRANO. Also another thing to do is fix your crake the smaller rang that you have trouble hitting and all you need to do is practice the C scale.

Your voice seems to be getting tired. I strain a bit when I sing, and now I can't sing at all for the moment. I'm starting to regain it, but it still hurts a bit. Try out with something small. Nothing big or very high notes. Something soft and then work your way up and be sure to give your voice a break once in a while, or it will strain even more.

I used to be able to sing kinda decently, but it is kind of hard now.

i feel the same. i dont sing in choir or anything but i like to sing songs i like but my voice is unstable and i dont like to because its embarrasing i can squeeek reallly bad at times. there are times where i dont like to talk because i know its gonna squeek so i whisper sometimes.

I'm a vocalist too. All it is two things:
1) The voice cracking problem - If you are going through a stage of puberty that disallows you to sing the lower/higher notes, then all it takes is patience and training.
2) Training - As I said in the first one, it takes training to hit those high notes. Unless you are naturally talented to hit those notes, then you need two to three years of training. It took me that long. But before that I could hit them in an alto/tenor range. Now its more of an alto/tenor/bass range.

So all it takes it training and the puberty voice changes.

Well I am a singer. At the beginning of puberty I was able to falsetto to REALLY high notes. Now I can't. My voice has changed and it is different now. Yours will be different too. Puberty WILL change your singing voice. You just need to work around it.

To hit higher notes, you need to make sure the muscles in your neck are relaxed and just try but you might need to go down to baritone or bass.

This is really helpfull, I want to sing but I have trouble and I think all I need to do is relax my neck... thanks!

I've always sung in choirs, I was the main treble soloist in my choir a couple of years ago, now I sing tenor. You shouldnt need to stop singing altogether while your voice changes, but you should take it easy and avoid straining for notes that arent quite there

[tyler27846]

i can sing ok some notes can be hard to hit i have never sang with anybody before but i would like to

Your voice breaking is normal in puberty. It will straighten out and become stronger and deeper as you go through puberty.
And singing I am sure lots of people sing in the shower and I sing in the car or when I hear a good song.
