My vocal break between chest and head is so low that I cannot sing any pop songs it's so freaking annoying.

[Eric-Marsh]

Great tips - I sing classical and am trying to extend my range. Consonants going into high notes are a real killer, I think that we can work around that with modified consonants if we are singing without amplification but being micd makes it hard to hide the cheats.

[abramfriesen]

This is probably the most helpful video on this topic I've seen. I'd love to see more like this.

[BonRiot]

To fellow baritones and basses like me: You don't suck at singing, you're not alone it is challenging for all of us. But singing like a tenor is never impossible. :D

[victorcobane]

Very helpful video! I also really appreciate how you clarify that you have also experienced the hardships I'm dealing with right now. It helps me keep hope that there isn't something just wrong with me, lol

[Popdizzl]

Dude, I’ve been learning singing on my own for the past couple of years and THIS video has made me so much better. The Josh groban tip is amazing, especially since I’ve been trying to perfect this exact part of the song. I am upset that it took me so long to find you lol

[lexsoft]

For me, the number 1 problem of practicing how to sing high note, including exercise of mixed voice, is I am worried I will disturb my neighbour.
I need space so that I won't be worried about that.

[BobbyNance-jfuh]

Fantastic instructional video, @nickhiggsthesinger. I've watched a lot of videos on this subject, and yours is top notch IMHO. Bravo!

[techsavvyhero]

This is incredibly helpful!! Thanks Nick!

[islakairiaball]

Even watching this now, I hit that time where your voice rapidly deepens, and I went from tenor vocalisation to a bass/baritone range. I also learned that I was definitely pulling my tongue back, which strained and tightened my throat.
That realisation combined with learning how to sing from below has led to my voice sounding much smoother and much more consistent.

[skycolinregan]

Thanks for the great video! I was wondering if you have any tips (or a video) on how to sing above an F4 as a Baritone, using a strong, mixed voice? Thank you!

[manuelcuevas]

THANKS YOUR TIPS I BEEN PRACTICING NOBODY IS PERFECT GOD BLESS YOU ALL THERE

[Anime_Edits]

Finally i found one 😭 every other once are how to sing bass

[AntonioNguyen-kr]

The humming is a very good exercise for figuring out the vocal placement. I mastered C5 as a baritone by practicing this exercise first, then vocalizing vowel a e i o u as same as the placement when humming

[johndeeregreen]

Funny thing is, though, Freddie Mercury wasn't a true tenor... he was actually a low baritone naturally. His speaking voice averaged 117.3Hz... verging on bass-baritone territory. Which, in reality, gives credence to this video that deeper voices can sing high, in reality.

[gabrielmoore]

I’m working on singing E4. I’m fairly new so I’m just getting over D4

[Tmanaz]

You've got a great range just speaking. There's a nice chest resonance even as your pitch goes up.

[flaze]

Nice smooth sound. I can tell you've trained classically :) How high can you go, just out of interest?

[wintersoldier]

i dont care much for singing high but this is pretty insightful, it is quite hard to find content for singing better low though

[LevRaphael]

Excellent video and it absolutely captures the way I have quietly freaked out in an art song looking at a high note ahead. I am working with an amazing coach and building my foundation low to get up there. Even our exercises are fun.
