Mastering High Notes: The Key to Effortless Vocal Power

Breaking Down the Performance

Singing at high intensities with distortion and maintaining vocal control is a difficult skill. Many singers struggle with keeping the right balance between power and relaxation. Here’s a breakdown of what worked well and what can be improved from this recent session.

Understanding Vertical Resonance and Support

When hitting higher notes, one of the biggest challenges is ensuring the sound remains open and effortless. In the initial take, there were moments where the upper harmonics were not as present, causing slight strain when reaching for those higher notes, such as F#5. This happens when the resonance shrinks down too much, making it difficult for the sound to expand naturally.

A key realization was that even in a more distorted, high-energy vocal style, maintaining some chest voice integration is crucial. This ensures the voice doesn’t become too thin or fatigued. The adjustment? Adding a bit more volume and ensuring a steady flow of energy through the phrase without overcompressing the sound.

Comparing Takes: The Impact of Proper Technique

Listening back, the strongest take had a noticeably freer and more open quality in the upper harmonics. Instead of forcing the sound to open, the voice naturally carried through, avoiding unnecessary tension. This made a significant difference in how sustained and effortless the notes felt.

In contrast, when the upper harmonics weren’t as present, the voice had to compensate by pushing harder, leading to slight fatigue and a loss of tonal quality. The key takeaway? Ensuring that resonance is maintained consistently throughout the phrase rather than adjusting mid-way through.

Building Strength Without Locking Up

A common issue in high-intensity singing is adding too much weight too soon. When this happens, the voice can feel “locked out” from the right resonance, making it harder to transition smoothly through higher notes. The goal is to find a balance where the voice remains full without becoming too heavy or restrictive.

The current approach is already strong, but the next step involves:

• Strengthening the key areas where the voice feels slightly weaker.

• Practicing the clean version of the same coordination.

• Gradually increasing volume while maintaining clarity.

This method ensures that when returning to the distorted version, the voice has a stronger foundation, leading to greater endurance and consistency.

A Newfound Appreciation for Vocal Legends

One of the biggest revelations from this session was a new level of respect for Brian Johnson of AC/DC. Often dismissed as just having a rough, distorted vocal style, a closer analysis reveals that he was actually singing in full voice with remarkable technique. Listening to his pre-AC/DC work with Jordy highlights just how strong his foundation was before he adopted his signature sound.

Final Thoughts

This session demonstrated that even slight adjustments in technique can make a significant difference in vocal performance. By focusing on:

• Proper breath control.

• Vertical resonance rather than excessive widening.

• Maintaining chest voice integration in high notes.

• Practicing clean, controlled versions before adding distortion.

Singers can unlock new levels of vocal power while keeping their voices healthy and sustainable over time. Excellent work on this song—keep pushing forward!
