I was debating on whether I post this because it is NOT perfect and I will admit I have been in my head about my own singing as of late…

However, I decided to say €$ #% it because I am a singer who did NOT have high notes 5/6 years ago (maybe even 3 years ago) and I want to show that it is possible to TRAIN this mechanism and really understand what recipes YOU need to sing high notes freely and easily.

It starts with working on your onsets throughout your range. Make sure your voice AND your body engage SIMULTANEOUSLY. Keep the sound clean and clear.

Next, train your head voice. Use sirens. Make sure your tongue isn’t pulling back. Continue to work on feeling the requisite support when you sing higher and listen to what your body does NATURALLY to do this.

AND last but certainly not least - engagement/support. Learn what this feels like for you.

I use my ribcage to stabilise myself and I make sure my abdominals are moving consistently towards my spine. This movement speeds up/slows down depending on the task.

It is subtle, it is consistent and it should be connected.

But please remember, it takes time and patience and will NOT happen over night!! We also need to look after our voices and ensure that everything is working efficiently. Do the basics well (eg drink water!!) and your voice will thank you.

Confused about how to sing higher notes? I am taking a handful of new clients on for the next few months.

Hello to nearly 3000 new followers! I am thrilled to have you here 🎉😊

My name is Susie 👋I am an opera singer based in Ireland and I set up the vocal health coach at the beginning of 2024 to help other singers and professional voice users struggling with voice problems and vocal tension.

I had experienced my own voice issues with Muscle Tension Dysphonia and Vocal cord nodules and luckily I was able to recover fully with support from professionals and my own research and work.

I am a trained vocal habilitation professional and I am hugely passionate about helping singers experience more freedom and ease.

Singing SHOULD feel easy and open and enjoyable.

SO TELL ME 🙌🫶 What can I help you with? Is there anything in particular you are looking to change in your singing? Comment below! 👇👇

Dropping your jaw is VERY important….

BUT like everything we need to make sure we are doing it in the most efficient, anatomically correct way possible which means being mindful to open at the Tempero-Mandibular Joint which is right in front of your ear canal!

In fact, if you find this opening - it might even feel like you have opened up the space that ‘pops’ when you are on a plane (and it feels excellent) 🤣

We need to allow the jaw to just hang open and then it can respond and open further as we ascend in our range.

If we are opening using our CHIN we will close off this space at the back which can contribute to many other issues such as difficulty reaching higher pitches, tongue tension, constricted pharynx etc.

For years I was always told to ‘drop my jaw’ but NOONE taught me what this feeling actually was until I started investigating for myself 🫠🫠

Give this a go and let me know in the comments if it works for you 👇

The basics are EVERYTHING

Check in with your basics today:

How are your onsets?
How are your dynamic changes?
Are you changing pitch effectively or are you getting stuck?
Is your ‘support’ working for you or is it switched off?

Spending 5 minutes a day on simple technical exercises will do more for your voice than any complicated routine.

And I promise you , you will be amazed at how your singing improves overall!!

What basics are you working on?

If in doubt - keep it simple!

Particularly if you have to build up the coordination or you are working through any voice issues.

And what is even MORE important than a simple exercise?

Consistency. Repeating it over and over again until your body, your brain, your voice and your nervous system know what is going on.

Simplicity
Consistency
Repeat

It always comes back to basics, particularly if you have been struggling with tension or fatigue in your voice or you have been experiencing technical issues for some time.

We don’t need MORE gadgets or straws or magic exercises or potions - we need to do the simple things WELL.

Ask yourself:
- how’s your siren?
- how’s your messe di voci?
- how are your onsets?
- how does your ‘support’ feel?

If the answers to these questions are : shaky, uncertain, difficult, pushed or forced. THAT is where we start.

My 6 Month Vocal Confidence Programme closes its doors next week and it is for singers who want to finally get clarity, clean up their technique and experience easy singing again.
