I'm a tenor, how can I make my voice more lighter?

Question

I need some techniques. I'm not in opera or something like that. Source please (ex. web pages).

I'm in choir and I already have a teacher. But he doesn't tell exactly. I want to listen to my voice and hear it more clean. I'm like a Dramatic Tenor.

I'm sorry is without the 'more'. And no like wider my voice, it's more about bright.

Answer 1

Well:

My voice teacher is a Tenor, and he is an excellent voice teacher and vocal coach, He make his students (males) to practice falsetto or head voice. That way you will find the easiest way to float your voice and the, one you recognize how easy and light and bright you can make a sound, you try to start connecting that sound with your chest voice.

Takes time but it works. My voice teacher has a Metropolitan Opera House competitions winners.

I am also a Professional Opera Singer and Voice Teacher and I use this same technique to work with my students and it really works.

Try singing in a whisper, but make an effort to keep in pitch. You sound like you're forcing your voice. So much depends on what you have been doing - are you in a band? a choir? We need more info. However, for now just vocalize with your mouth very relaxed and dropped open. Do quiet 5-note steps to "AH". Don't do the full scale, otherwise you're going to take that big breath and blast your way up and down. Also, HUM through your nose. Your sinuses are a resonating chamber, so you should try to "feel" the notes between your eyes. But always always listen carefully to pitch. The key is to listen to yourself. You definitely can sing more quietly, but relaxing your jaw and letting air pass gently over your vocal cords is essential.

Answer 3

I'm curious and confused, and have experience in many venues. Do you want a wider range? OR are you uncomfortable with being a Tenor?

"More lighter",,by the way,,suggests some research into grammer,,,NO OFFENSE.

Without details your Q won't strictly be one that any of us can answer, beyond personal opinion.

Answer 4

It appears to me you may be forcing the tone, not relaxing enough. Do some physical exercises for your whole body, your "core," as they say. Now, when you sing, open your throat, breathe deeply, do all those things the other people suggested in "answers"(!), and let the sound float out. Do Not Push It At All! (This may take some real concentration for awhile. Concentrating on your "core" and letting the notes just float out.)

Answer 5

are you a guy? tenor's high for a male voice. you want better range? there are vocal exercises you can do. join a choir or take voice lessons.

Answer 6

If you really want to work on your voice, try to get in tough with a canto professor.He/she will guide you!
