question for the singers (that actually KNOW how to sing ):
if I have to get loud (louder than normal speaking - as loud to grab the neighbours attention) to hit a high note, but it doesn't hurt anywhere - is my technique wrong then?
I could sing it quieter as well, but then the timbre is way different (obvious headvoice, as you can easily hear on my recordings).
another problem I discovered is that useing the former technique I can sing nice, chesty sounding high notes (like the first G on a guitar's high E-string) as long as they are long (and loud as I said). If I have to sing 'real' melodies I have a hard time hitting the pitches.
I know that the best thing would be to go to a vocal-teacher. but here in my country teachers belong to the best-paid people - so forget about that .
when I listen to rock-singers like jon bon jovi or bret michaels, which sing not THAT high but still higher than most men would, I sometimes think they don't use head-voice at all. but than again I know that pavarotti is one of the few guys who can hit high C in their chest voice. so for example jon bj must sing in head-voice considering the fact that the chorus of "keep the faith" goes up to high Bb.
so what do I have to do now to get my vocals up there? strenghten my head-voice or really push the chest voice?
