Okay, so I have some good days, where I can actually sing high notes, but o other days I cannot. You see, for choir at school I need to sing a duet of "Bop to the Top" and the fast "What I've Been Looking For" from High School Musical. And the male part of those songs are high. Being a tenor, I can complete all but the very last note in "Bop to the Top" and there are quite a few areas I have immense trouble in with "What I've Been Looking For."

Is there any preparation for my bad days where I just can't sing? I can't have good posture because we also have a choreography and it's a quick-transitioning series so I can't drink water between songs.

Well...I assume you already do this, but, warm-up....warm-up bit by bit and evertime you warm-up everyday, go higher and higher to help your vocal chords. They are muscles that, over time, will be able to do a large range of vocal ability. But...please....do not immeadately try and oversing and try to go really high on the first warm-up, that'll just ruin your vocal chords.

And you say you can't have good posture? You can ALWAYS have good posture if you support your sound in the correct way. Look at stage actors and opera singers, the have to move all around and sing and/or project their voices. Try getting used to singing and moving around a lot, and make sure it's supported. And I know how you feel about the choreography things, I had to preform in Disneyworld....so trust me, there was much cheesy dancing and singing of Disney music.

And as long as you warm-up properly, you shouldn't have "Bad vocal days" unless you are sick, and coughing up odd-colored mucus, then you are fine, you just need warm-up more.

And (though, this would be odd) it might be just out of your vocal range, I sing Mezzo-Soprano and Soprano in my chiors, but there's no way I can sing anything but a high Alto because I sound horrid singing low.

I mean, it could be any of these factors, but the best is to talk to your Director about the problem and see if he/she can help you fix it, I'm sure they'd be glad to! ^_^

It can't be that t's out of my range, because I hit it perfectly yesterday. Also, posture is a problem because the choreographical technique includes slouching motions and dipping and some bending and stuff.

how high of a tenor are you? im inbetween baritone and tenor, but my choir director stuck me in tenor. this is church choir. pieces go INSANELY HIGH!!!! are you going into falsetto or not? if u aren't, go into falsetto. if you aren, well, i cant help you:P

My falsetto sounds like a mouse choking on a light bulb. My singing isn't too good as it is, I've recorded mysekf and am extremely disappointed with myself...

dont post it here , go find singing lessons

Is this not a thread for music discussion? Is singing not relaated to music? I rest my case, starkandco.

im not saying its not meant to be here , im just saying dont complain if your able to do something about it

Excuse me, but doesn't the title contain the words "I need help?" Sure, I'm listing the problems, but that's how people help you fix them. :huh:

indeed, shut it starkandco :P

Hey, there's a thread called "singing tips." Do a search for it and there's a bunch of advice there.
