If you don't understand music, just know regular guys aren't supposed to be able to hit G4's on a regular basis.
Background:
My mom worked from home and loved to sing. I give most of my love for music (the credit) to her. Like every singer, we have a reason to sing. That is the same for me. My horrible yet vengeful reason I sing is my parents are divorced. When I was 7 and 8 instead of dancing to the Wii theme song as most kids these days do (why btw? You are literally dancing to the worst thing in your life.) My parents divorced and the only thing that drove me to not kill myself was music. I would listen to pop. In 2014, the hit "Bang Bang" came out and I was hooked. It had 3 singers on different spectrums of the singing spectrum. Jesse J, Ariana Grande, and Nicki Minaj. First, I kind of started out as a soprano for the first 10 years of my life. Got into Glee Club still, was a soprano 7th grade hit. I got hairs but I was a resilient youngster and I didn't let my voice change. I got bullied for it, but when the theatrical play came around, I got the lead. James and the Giant Peach. Often played by girls because of the Plump and Juicy song. Too high for most but not this bitch right here. I rose the note by one singular note. It was shocking to everyone and the girls loved Me when I would sing. 1 bitch could beat me, she had the best voice but fuck her she was those perfect little missy that always had the voice. She's really nice too and that's the thing. But anyway, after 7th grade, I didn't want the soprano fun to end but I was pressured by my director to sing baritone also known as speaking voice / deep voice. At first, I was like fuck that. I am now a soprano/tinner. A tinner is above the altos and baritones. We are also below or near soprano. I am what they call a mix. I can sing all the parts of a song, no issues.
Now let's cover the basics of singing, or at least where I sing. There are 3 main parts in an arrangement (alto soprano and baritones). Then there are 5 ways you sing. 1st is speaking. Speaking in a song is meant to add character or comedic effect to the song. Then there is downstaging your voice. Such as making it low. Such as the part in "Baby lock the doors and turn the lights down low" here you have 2 parts. Downstaging is the "baby lock the" is downstaged and the rest is a mix of head and chest voice called a mix. Next is your head voice. I have no asap references except it is often known to use your nose area more and makes you sound like you are on helium. Last on the list is Falsetto. No, not the Broadway musical, I am talking about the singing type. Falsetto uses the space above your nasal cavities to raise the notes you are about to make. Ariana Grande is most famous for using this in Break Free while also using mix and falsetto in God is a Woman.
How to sing high notes?
It's not simple or easy. It requires some base talent or base exposure at a young age to do. I'm not a vocal coach although, I watch Tristian Paradas on YouTube (sorry for the misspell) for tips. When Frozen 2 came out, I thought it was impossible to sing because it was close to a whistle note (Mariah Carey is the definition of a whistle note) but I was ready to learn. It took me 3 tries standing up. Now I can do the notes lop sided in my chair sitting. Sure the times was trying it were terrible but you learn by messing up. Keep in mind, each "into the unknown " gets higher each time. There are 2 versions. Idina Menzel's (we'll come back to her) version ( studio) and Brendon Urie's version but it's higher (inspiration for the song) I used the studio version like 10 or 11 times b4 doing Brendon's unknown because that's too much Aries energy for me. But nevertheless, I persisted. I got the unknowns known in my vocal range. I was ready for more. I am a whore for high notes at this point. That's when I found the Wicked Broadway musical. "Defying Gravity" has a G5 even an E5 at the end of the song the "Aah" at the last "bring me down" is an E5 or a G5 if pushed down. This song was and is so fucking difficult to hit the note on. It is a high note that needs to be belted. Those two don't match with your vocal cords. I have damaged my vocal cords although not severely, it would hurt to talk and having Chorus with a damaged vocal cord is rough. The damage is minor and usually heals in about a day or two. So it's not bad but it's not good either. It does create more of a vocal range for you though.
I wrote this to tell you about my past and what I can do right now. I am still exploring my capabilities and who knows what I can do in the new decade. A lot of good stuff tho. I also have an example of a whistle note other than Mariah Carey, Praying by Ke$ha. Although she goes into a mix on her live performances, in a year she nearly doubled her range. I am so happy for the future pop artists and I am happy for Taylor Swift winning the artist of the decade at the AMA's.
If you have any pop hits you listen to that have high notes, let me know by linking them or the song and artist name. I am not a pop star or musical genius but I am able to replicate them if they are played with me while I am singing. Yes I listen to myself sing mainly to improve.
