alto to soprano
(15/f) Okay well I'm an alto and I'm singing a solo in Italian and my highest note is a high F but I can't reach it without struggling. I do voice warm-ups but I can't reach it.
Does anyone know how I can get my voice higher without making it crack or sound horrible?
thanks in advance!

I just think you should be happy with your own voice, and make it as high as you can with out making it noticable that you're struggling. Trust me, I do it all the time, and no one notices.

There's lots of things you can do to train your voice, but the best thing you can do is just sing more. Sing higher songs and just practice over and over, but have a good time with it. The more you use your voice, the stronger it will get. Sing songs you like in the shower and wherever else you feel comfortable. Remember this though: some people just can't sing as high as others. Their voices just can't do it. You can stretch it a little but don't expect to be singing a high A or anything. An F is a lot higher than most can sing anyways so don't worry about it too much and good luck!

well, this is gonna sound ridiculous, but I am an alto too, and it seems like I can always hit higher if i clear my throat realyl good before i start singing. also, singing the same high verse over and over kinda helps your voice get used to the high note, and get up there farther.
Hope I helped!!
Good Luck!!

How long is the note held out for, and are you singing it for solo & ensemble? I have the same problem just about every year.
Try a bit of lemon juice in water, it seems to do the trick. Practice breathing from your diaphragm (don't let your shoulders rise up at all) and make sure you have the right embuture (sp?) ask your vocal instructor to monitor the way that you're breathing and your vowel placement when you go up to the F. Even if it doesn't seem like it, its your breathing that almost completely controls your range.
If you play a musical instrument, one that requires air to be forced through it, play it for 20 mns before you sing your solo. Seriously. I can normally hit an E without trouble, I can hit an A after playing my clarinet for a bit.
Drink tea. Preferably something minty.
If none of that works, go falsetto (your head voice). It sounds a bit airy but it's better than not hitting the note.
Hope this helps, good luck.
Love,

All I can tell you is that, as you probably know, drink alot of water, and before you sing, drink water.
But ask I noticed, you might also wanna blow your nose before singing because it sort of helps, sounds kind of dorky...But anywho.
Atleast you can get to an F, I can only get to a C, thats why I am an alto.
But good luck, and I hope you find something that will help you.
