Learn how to sing high notes in chest voice the correct way. The chest voice can be stretched to the top of your range, but it must be done with diligence and precision. This lesson will cover how to strengthen your chest voice through your bridge ranges with an exercise on the pure AH. There is also a second exercise on OO to counterbalance the aggressive work of the AH.
Although this video is catered primarily to guys, the principles within also apply to females too — the only difference would be the ranges. The first bridge range for females would be B4-C#5; this is the area in which you’ll feel the rounded AH start to kick in. From D5 and above, the AH will open back up.

* Keep your throat relaxed

I think I have damaged my voice doing this, stupid of me, my lower register
is completely cracked, I can’t go lower than my speaking range
really nice this is the best lessons for open voice i see on youtube thank
you a lot :D
I am so glad I found this channel- this helped so much. Once I graduated
high school, my voice started to worsen in quality. These exercises are
super wonderful; I’m happy you include an ‘after effect’ so that I know I’m
doing everything right. Thanks, Marnell. O uO
+Rebecca Walilko You’re welcome. Glad you’re enjoying the information.
Thank you! I started seeing instant results in just two days!!! ☺ Keep up
the good work!
Thanks a lot, that`s an excercise that really helped me! Normally I already
struggle with an E4, but in this excercise I could sing a G4 with
ease..altough it`s strange, it sounds really like chest voice and very
powerful,, but because it lacks of tension in my throat ( what I normally
have when singing high in chest voice ) it feels rather like headvoice or a
mix..
ya but how to sshake and move voice gently on higher notess…..and
vibrato……..plzzz help
useful tips thanks also RIP headphone users.
Hey fantastic lesson! I have a question though. I can approach a G4 or G#4
from bottom, like starting from a lower note and going up, without
straining. However, when I have to start with those notes, I tend to crack
a little and not attack the note cleanly. How do I deal with this? Thanks a
lot! :)
I do this exercise every day since I found it a few months ago. Thanks :)
Marnell what are your thoughts on vocal fry? useful for developing cord
closure? thanks for your reply. this exercise is really helpful btw
Should I do this exercise after I do my daily warm up or whenever?
Dammit, i remember i was doing this exercise along with all the ones i have
and my results 2x, for some odd reason i can’t remember i stopped doing it,
well now i have it again!!! as soon as i did it instant results
wow this exercise seems quite fun to do, my brightness in tone is getting
better,but here is the thing,before my throat would get tight and I would
choke which is wrong,but now I don’t really feel it in my throat but my
diaphragm doesn’t feel very tight either like it used to happen a week
ago,so its like I don’t feel any tension anywhere , like for instance when
I am singing head voice I don’t really feel any tension anywhere at all,its
almost kind of the same tension, am I doing something wrong? do I really
have to feel tight on my stomach/core region?
I noticed you are holding the top notes and you are doing vibrato on those
top notes, if I can do the vibrato successfully like you demonstrated ,
does that mean I hit those notes without any tension in the throat?
THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO ABOUT SINGING IN THE WHOLE INTERNET!!!
Still the best exercise for strengthening mixed voice I’ve ever tried.
Trying to expand my head voice range weakened my chest voice. This brought
it right back.
Haha, your keyboard looks like you warmed it up in the microwave.
Hey Marnell, how are you? Buddy?
I wanted to ask that does riding a bike in speed affect singing voice in
any way?
will this weaken your head voice falsetto?
Quite excellent Marnell. Thank you for this.

I remember when I first watched this i really didn’t know what the
prerequisites were but I still tried the exercises anyways. lol
What a great teacher, such directness and clarity (as well as obvious great
skill!)
Extremely useful, especially the aah sound, I developed a breathy chest
voice from doing lip trills wrong when my voice was breaking during
puberty, that exercise really helps compress my vocal chords when I go down
to lower notes
could i just do this ah thing in example 1 while playing a pentatonic scale
on my guitar on the first few strings. i hope this helps.
yeah marnell i kinda figured after watching this video for the second time
hey im gonna play an arpeggio on my guitar and whammo it makes sense. root,
third, and fifth and back down but stopping at the root. i use an a amajor
scale then go to d major and then emajor. it works for me.
Hi Marnell. This sounds like a very good exercise. Two questions. Are you
beginning the exercise at C4 on the keys? Also, how high from there can one
safely go without risking injury? Thanks.
using this exercise i felt like i could hit much higher notes. the only
issue i have is making them sound good. i can hit them but they sound quite
nasally and i’m not sure how to adjust the tone of the sound.
This is such amazing info. Love it
at the oo vowel I feel like i strain a little on the throat,I am trying to
engage the support but it doesn’t work as well as the AA Vowel like you
showed in the first exercise, as I am going past the bridge do I really
have to open the mouth wider ?
Thank you soooo much!!! You are amazing. From the very first exercise I
could sing higher notes without the feeling of strain and it only got
better from there!!
Chest Voice, Head Voice as well as many other key components to getting
better at singing is explained by this pro vocal coach:
OMG when I tried the AH thing I sounded like a bitch dude!!
Hello Marnell. I have to say your exercise here should get more credit than
it is getting.
I am able to sing for extended periods with no problem, but I’ve found that
talking really fatigues my throat and voice. I have noticed that doing this
exercise is actually correcting that, as the fatigue and tenderness seems
to disappear after. I am currently on the F note, which makes me land on
the B flat at which point my voice is breaking. Do I keep hitting the note
until the break disappears?
Sorry that’s the Bb4
you’re boring but a good teacher
You said you were going to teach us to sing high notes in our chest voice
not scream? I’m confused….
Hi. Thanks a lot for the video -I have a question: recently in my warm up I
went 2 notes above my vocal range (G1-G4) as a result I ve been
experiencing some muscle strain kind of pain inside my throat. I have
stopped singing fir 2 days but I can still feel strain pain. What is the
right thing to do? advise please..
keep pressing 2
