  1. Thanks to all the replies. I don't have a vocal coach. I was never too concerned about furthering my vocal capabilities. Would just pick up a guitar and sing a song. I mostly like to sing blues (Clapton) and Neil Young esque stuff. I know this is probably not too challenging for most but I want to get more serious and further myself vocally. Just trying to learn as much as I can from the power of the net. Mark, thanks for the info. I will have to read a couple times to digest and then practice and watch what you have posted. I've read about diaphragmatic breathing, but never was certain how to control it or when to use it. Thanks again everyone.
  2. Hi, I know this has been discussed many times here. I'm looking for advice or instruction on what I can do to reach a certain note. The band I'm in is covering Sunday Bloody Sunday by U2. We have raised it up a half step from the original so we can stay in standard guitar tuning. This was my suggestion and now has given me a hard time to sing that line. So it's in the key of Bm. So on the word Sunday it is an A (maybe A4?) This is where my voice starts to weaken. I need to sing this in what i believe is called head voice. Sometimes I can do it and when not warmed up, no way is it happening. My throat is really tense when I'm trying to sing that line. I play a Bm scale and when I go from the G to the A, I can tell I'm losing it and straining. My voice really hurts and my talking voice is all screwed up when we run through it a couple times. I can hit the note, but I can tell I'm straining and this is really upsetting me. I'm feel like I'm so close and really would like to accomplish this. I'm currently trying to sing the Bm scale and reach that note without going to falsetto. Is this the best exercise I can do to quickly strengthen my range to hit this particular note? If you can lead me in the right direction, I would appreciate any advice. Thanks so much, Sean
