[quote=Gemeinhardt]You're range is good. I think you should work on hitting lower, not higher, though.
Once you can hit lower it will be easier to belt higher notes.[/quote]

I can only hit that with falsetto (i think) but when I hit the g5 I can do it consistent and it's kinda effortless sometimes.. my voice is REALLY high pitched.. it sounds like a girl you can imagine the criticism I recieve.. but whenever I sing my friends say it changes and I guess I love singing and want to get better! I'll try doing more scales and try singing lower then higher~ thank you

[quote=hiptomas]Ur range can in crease if u train, but there is a physical limit. Some people have naturally low voice. Alternatively, u can practice switching in and out from falsetto quickly and naturally. With the large amount of noob singers in the entertainment industry this is now accepted. I recommend against this

I'm not that adept in singing myself (personally pianist), but I suppose the easiest way to hit that note is to go by semitones. I mean ... If u increase ur singing range by 1 semitones a week it would only take 2 months from C - G. Training vocals is a sensitive area, u can easily damage it if u overuse it. Try get professional advice from someone that has trained vocal.[/quote]

I want to in a year when I graduate to university, I don't have time and I prefer hiding the fact that I like singing so much that I want to get a vocal teacher so I want to use my own money and not my parents :$ My voice is naturally high and maybe a tad-girlish I've gotten used to it waiting for the 'puberty' that never happened oh well! I wish I could hit higher notes so badly and I know I can it's just I don't know how to do it by myself.

[quote=hiptomas]Falsetto does not count. Try measure witch your true vocal voice. The reason is because most times in falsetto u can't get the volume needed, its more a hum. if u can get volume out in falsetto u are truly talented.

But yes, someone with little training can get a range of about 1.5 octaves

So now, if someone asks you in maple what's your range, u can answer proudly g3-g5[/quote]

I don't play maplestory anymore. Anyways... in that case I guess thats fair since I haven't had vocal training besides warm ups in vocal class at school. I wish my teacher was more pro active in helping her students develop more instead of singing songs and theory :$ UGH I WISH I COULD HIT HIGHER NOTES. my vocal fry can make squeaks that are really quiet up to G6 C6 kinda thing.. idk how to actually "sing" those notes. but isn't the 'if you can hit it, you can eventuallly sing it' apply to me -.-? It legit feels like the g5 will forever be the highest note I can sing QQ
