This is a bit of a tabu question. I am a singer. I have been told by a few teachers that I am a second soprano. i have always felt like I have the potential to reach higher notes but have never gotten past an E. ( now I am no expert. but it should be about an octive higher than the open E on the guitar. The smallest last string). Last night in the shower, I was pleasing myself, and i felt like singing for some reason. When I started singing, I was able to reach 2 full notes past what I normally can. I believe that would make it a G. Very clear, very easy on my throat. When I sat up and tried to do it it was scratchy and hurt my throat. When I laid down and started pleasing my self again, it came out easy and free. I even tried lying down and doing it but it still hurt my throat. So I am wondering why that happened and how do I reach those notes with clairity and ease without having to please myself at the same time? Thank you for your wise answers.

If you can sometimes hit the G and other times not, part of it might be how you hold your mouth and how your hips are...well...positioned. If you have yourself positioned so that your body is not hunched or curled up or out of line, and you open your throat, relax your embachour you should have no problem hitting the G standing up.

If I find out I'll let you know
