ehh when you get out of tune or 'zao xia'
its cuz you cant hold the notes properly.
you need proper breathing techniques first.

See!!
My only suggestion right now is to keep trying along with the song, which is FGL's technique.. in layman's terms, your range hasn't expanded into that "section" yet, so constant practice to try "hit" the notes will open it up.
Tetra's techniques might work, but I always thought the balls-squeezing were a cheaper alternative? LOL
Yep sage seems to have my game plan all figured out. Sometimes I sing along and can even do some female artiste pitch tunes (of curse not mariah carey or Celine Dion stuff doe).
As for the ball squeezing technique - I think Vicko has something like that in mind for us guys (Heckler I thick it was) so that we can do steel heart.
One piece of advice I must give is for all to try and really belt it out when trying to sing.... dont hold back. back in the day around 1995 or so I was believe it or not: working 9 to 5 (I use my voice a lot in my sales & marketing day job), then went to sing 2 sets happy hours 630 to 830pm followed by 4 sets with a band from 9pm to 2 am. 6 days a week. I also remember having a sunday relief gig at the time. My voice was a tad bit overworked but somehow or other natures tends to "self heal" and rejuvinates itself when you need it. I once even sang an entire set through an asthma attack.
I was never formally trained in vocals, I guess I just learned from the school of hard knocks.
So it's really nice that newbies can pick up so manytips from some of the really great singers here in the vox thread.

Water... i need more water!!!!!
haha..
sorry guys.. i can't stop singing..
well.. here's a great tip given my ex-bf: (yaa..sob..sob..)
k.straight to the point Muda.
what i meant was. . .
to choose a song that u really love love loooove to sing.
the next step, to sing that same song over n over again.
however, sing it fron the lowest pitch/tone to the highest pitch/tone n vice versa.
(or the do-re-me-fa-so-la-ti-do way)
it helps as by doing this, we will know where is our comfort zone for our voice.
once we know our strength and weakness in terms of vocal control and the way we breath n yadaa2,
we'll know when n where to input that in a song
as such, there won't be any ter-kehel parts when we sing
(umm terkehel in english what ehk?. i think umm. it's like eg when u wanna change from a tone to another, u accidently terkehel, as in.. ermm.. ter-funny liddat ur voice. cos some songs u know laa.. it's a low tone.. suddenly... have to screeeaaaaaammm ur lungs out!)
waduuuh.. payah bangat tuuuuu.. i mean... that's difficult siaahhhhh...
hehe.
ok.TQ.
peace.

ouh ya..
Babes Conde told me that when u sing, the way to breath is from within the stomach.
Never the throat. i mean when you breath in, dun limit the air only till the throat area.
dun believe me u try.
U voice will be like, u suck helium from balloon liddat..
nyehehehehe..
Sit up straight. dun strain ur neck n voice when singing.
that's common sense lah.
if ur neck hurts.
dun ask me for axe oil okay?
hehee.
kid-din.

Err.... okay, back to the topic.
I know one way to check for proper breathing, but I'm not sure I know how to put to words the way it's supposed to be done :/
Your ribcage will expand if you take a full proper breath, so try taking a breath, letting your tummy expand, shoulders not lifted, and take a breath. That's the proper breathing technique. You can check whether you've got this right by putting your hands into a fist and placing them at your sides, where the ribcage is. You'll feel the fists being pushed away as your ribcage expands..

Ya, it's the same like when you see babies breathe.
Their tummies go up and down very cutely.
It seems that we all are born to naturally breathe into our diaphragm but somehow forget this as we grow older.
Maybe because babies are short so, it's easier for the air to go all the way down. :mrgreen:
Anyway, using the diaphragm to push air out can really make a difference, in terms of power output, if you really want to sing out loud and high.
The reason is you are not stressing your vocal chords so much (wrong technique) but instead using your diaphragm. This is especially for the power screams that are not executed with falsettos.
Just don't try this at karaoke lah. For recording and 'live' performances, definitely recommended.
If you do this in karaoke, you'll burst your friends' eardrums and in a year's time, you guys may have to communicate using sign language liao. :mrgreen:
Well, the other point I want to make is to know how exactly your vocal chords work. In general, the theory is that lower output volume equals to higher pitches. In other words, you must reduce your volume output as you climb to the highest pitches.
This can only come through practice because, you may not be in the right condition at that moment, but as you practice regularly in the right condition (relaxed, not sick at the moment, right frame of mind, tummy not full with food), you'll definitely find out how high you can go.
