i wan to be a sop

sadd... i wan to sing all those stunning notes. i wan to be able to hit anythin above a C to a high C. But sob... i m a bass with a singing voice so much lower den the normal average person on the street. And it seems almost impossible for mi to sing songs with the normal key. i hav nothing against singin using a lower key cuz i believe that many pple would oso face the same problem as mi. but....

it jus old stubborn mi. being sooo old (21) and continuin to be so, my bones r desperately goin creakin and i cant be as flexible as i would like animore. i muz hit the high notes! i muz sing!! i realise i have a penchant for singin and i would regret it if i do not hit those far reachin high notes in my life. i wan to increase my higher range by an octave. I am goin to develop my mid voice and head voice and exploit the plausible potential that is inborn in mi. God sent

haha once i reach my range, i would further improve my support, vocal and tone quality and then i would go and sing in the ktv. but onli when i increase my vocal range. i have made a solemn vow not to step into a ktv until i reach my dream range... bwahahaha...

below r some exercises for increasing vocal range. dunno whether it works


Time for that tape recorder. This is a biggie.
We are going to sing HHHAH as we go up the scale.
Start on any note you want.
Sing HHHAH.
Sing the next note up the scale.
Continue up the scale until you can't sing HHHAH without it breaking.
Your voice will sound like it's breaking. You'll sound like an adolescent whose voice is changing or like a honking goose.
Hold the breaking note for a second
Sing the note just below on the scale.
This is your note! Yay!

Sing this note for a long time into the recorder. See if you can match it when you play back. Sing along with yourself. Now, while it's fresh in your mind, rewind back to the start of your tape and record it at the very beginning. You don't have to do it as one note, but put about 30 seconds of it at the start of the tape for reference later. Whenever you record yourself after this, leave some of the original note at the beginning.
After a week or so, redo the exercises above to find your note. As you get better, your vocal range will increase. Eventually, your base note will go up.
When that happens, move your voice up, and keep adjusting it as necessary until you like the note you're using.
