How to Expand Your Vocal Range Safely | #DrDan 🎤

Singing higher isn’t easy, and you shouldn’t feel discouraged if you’ve worked on it before and felt defeated in your previous attempts.

And while plenty of people are trying really hard to expand their vocal range, there are plenty of people who are failing, and some singers are even damaging their voices in the attempt. So, in this video, I’m going to teach you how to expand your vocal range safely.

This is way too short, the world needs more of you Dr. Dan!

[robharris]

I have been doing these exercises 3 or 4 times a week over the last few months & my voice has actually got stronger & higher !

[mhmansoor]

Hi Dr Dan, Always have been loving your teachings.. thanks very much from Melbourne 🇦🇺

[Dehumanizer]

Don't worry Basses and Baritones, your head voice/Falsetto is stronger than that of a tenor, train that and you'll have stronger and higher notes than a tenor.

[WideCuriosity]

Everyone wants to sing higher ? Maybe. Personally I'd like to extend BOTH ends. Unsure if anyone can achieve both Basso Profuondo and Soprano though. May be stuck with the one octave I have.

PS wish I could lip bubble/trill. Hardly get a success ever. Think I must have solid lips.

[donoibagere]

Wait was that you at th3 start of the video.

[James-kyev]

How should singing high feel? Should the tension only be felt on the vocal cords?

[doublephotolandscapemyself]

Hi Dr Dan I’m a female and I can sing to D3 and I was thinking if that’s average even for the contraltos or if it’s lower than the average

[RODZACABOCATUBAY]

Or can you please give me a singer dr dan that he has a low voice before but now he can sing high notes?pls

[vodavrot]

Hi Dan! Do you have a study video to make falsetto register stronger and higher?

[alessandro_inno]

Hi, is the sound muted? I cant hear anything😊

[dr.x-trm]

Hi there Dr Dan...thank you very much for for uploading this video....it was very helpful...I just wanna know if u can help to give a video reaction to one of my favorite artist, David Archuleta...because I really wanna be able to sing my high notes without really using my falsetto/head voice much and also to belt my notes especially the high ones like him....even though as u said in this video...."everybody's voice is different/unique"...but I'm sure there's a way where we can achieve the possibility of learning how to sing in that same technique....ive always admired how David sings his songs and the fact of how he can sing his high notes without even using his head voice most of the time....id really appreciate it if u could react to one of his songs or covers and just explained how its done...Thanks Dr Dan

[amali]

big fan, i have a question tho, i’ve developed my chest voice quite a bit but how do i know when to start moving on to using head voice? they say that if you start using head voice too early you could potentially lose notes on your chest. so how do i know when i’m ready ? i’ve expanded my chest far enough to where i’m almost in a mix voice at high notes.

[aasthatripathi]

Hello Mr. Dan I'm from Nepal. I phased the vocal cords hamrage problem. Please help me and give more information of treatment. I'm waiting for your response 🙏🙏

[kickthemik]

I'm struggling to do the bubble one 😩

[chriskemp]

Could you explain how this helps extend your range please, I am a little confused as to how it increases the range of my mixed voice as you seem to transition into head voice(?) Thanks

[RODZACABOCATUBAY]

Do you have any prof dr dan? That anyone can sing high even like me with a low voice?

[rackemup]

That kid singing looked like you. Is that your son?
