I have a funny problem

[fenderplayer1100]

when i try to hit high notes i tend to sound like Kermit the Frog...does anyone know how this is caused or how to stop it or anything? It's extremely annoying.

[fenderplayer1100]

oh yea this only happens in my chest voice

[Jovianknight]

Hahaha, that is quite funny. Unfortunately, I can't help you. But I'll bump your thread.

Someone else posted this a few weeks ago. Try to make sure youre relaxing your tongue...this includes the root of your tongue...dont stiffen your tongue or push down much with the back part(root) of it. And relax

[fenderplayer1100]

hmm...so that isn't caused because it's out of my range? Because sometimes I sing along with Queen music....and lets see...say in the song "Another One Bites the Dust" Freddy Mercury goes to these miraculously high notes in the second verse...well when i sing in the second verse i tend to sound like as I said Kermit the Frog....So this isn't because I'm going to into higher notes that I thought were out of my range? Except it's just my tongue and me not relaxing?

[siryan]

its probably out of your range, yeah

Well the tongue thing is just one possibility, and it could be that and or a mix of you tensing your larynx. Or you might be trying to use the chest voice position to get a head voice note...are you confident of your ability to get into head voice? Can you eliminate this as a possible cause? Theres just not alot of other things you can move. the cords and false cords, tongue, and the larynx. Thats about it. I cant get close to making a kermit sound without closing up and pusing my tongue back. Try to relax and open up like a yawn. And let me know if you know where you chest ends and head begins and head ends and falsetto begins. And do some glisses on one note up to your highest falsetto, staying relaxed. Lets find out about your range first...ya gotta know that.

Yes I can get into my head voice confidently. Umm my falsetto begins at an E note...My head voice ends at D note. My chest voice ends at a D note....I'm using a Guitar/ Bass tuner to find this stuff out. I have no idea what octave it could be in...But when I hit that D note in my chest voice I started to sound like well Kermit.

[fenderplayer1100]

I think this may make me a tenor because I've herad that ending at a high C or D note makes you a tenor(or above). My I can still go to very deep notes too...I can go to a low F note too...so I don't know....o yea when I hit that High D note my tone wasn't the best....that could;ve been becasue i didn't warm up and I didn't clear any mucus i don't know

[fenderplayer1100]

[real_low_mind]
