How to increase ur vocal range?

[AlexLee]

Open your mouth, stick 3 fingers in it, at least that size.

This is what my choir instructor used to tell me a lot!

I found out that I can hardly sing as well as I used to when I was in secondary school. Currently 21 now. I find it harder to keep in tune and have a much lower vocal range now.

Can the lack of practise do so much harm to me? Or was I really a tone deaf lousy singer in the first place and I don't realise it because I am singing in a choir and other people voiced are covering mine?

opst your vocal samples so that people know what you sound like! =)

Hmm, so does that mean lower vocal range can be trained as well? Somehow I find it easier to train the highs than the lows. I've improved in the highs but my lows are still as horrible as ever. Any suggestions how I might improve that?

Thanks in advance

something to share

hey there... okay u all hv been talking abt widening vocal range? well here's something i can tell u: it really ain't easy. my vocal range stretches from bass 1 to sop 2 and mind you, I AM A GUY! hehe... well it took me two years and countless hours per day to widen that scope... people had been asking why is my range so wide and whether i can beat mariah carey at her singing (for a guy... that is...). it all began from j-pop... ooh i so love utada hikaru... =X

i find tt singers utada hikaru, daniel bedingfield, jason mraz, adam lavine (maroon 5) and mariah carey are best to study the higher parts of the vocal range. to understand the lower, i challenge people to study john mayer! i like his voice a lot... try looking into josh groban and stuff for the pitch and stuff...

o ya, make that when u sing, YOU DO NOT FEEL THE STRAIN AT ALL!!! IF YOU DO, REST FOR 5 MINUTES OR SO! IF NOT, TRY ANOTHER WITH A SLIGHT LOWER KEY! I DON'T WANT A STRANGLED CHICKEN'S AT THE END OF THE DAY! :lol:

all in all find the celebrity with the same voice quality as you (mine's jason mraz, fortunately...) and sing their song over and over again... that will help boost your range and control of your voice.

PS it does not work for all but it may help for some! and tis is JUST a suggestion... =)
