how can u actually adjust those muscles? I heard theres coordination with diaphragm as to amount of air to release? Does that mean u gotta harden ur stomache to slow the amount of air out or smthing

It's not the stomach that deals with singing notes, it's your vocal cords.

Ok, no one is being very helpful in here. When you hit a high note it has nothing to do with tightening your vocal chords, absolutely nothing. Your vocal chords simply vibrate faster do to the force of air used. The higher the note the faster the chords vibrate. Your 'stomach' can go in faster depending on how often you sing in your upper register. It has more to do with greater expenditure of energy and good support. You don't always need an enormous breath to create a high note. The stronger your breath support is the longer your line of sound becomes. I don't notice air leaving faster because I'm used to singing in my upper register but it might feel like this to you at first. Just breath, support and stretch gently to see what it feels like to you. High notes should resonate through the entire head, not in the back of the throat and not in the front of the face, otherwise they are painful to listen to. Hope this helps.
Yes, the young lady answered below answered the question but the diaphragm is not the supporting muscle, it's the breath control muscle. Your shoulders can still move up and down if you're only singing into the chest or to the bottom of the chest. The lower you take your breath (abdominal) the better the support.

when you sing a high note, your vocal chords vibrate faster, when you sing a low note they vibrate slower. The thing about the diaphram is you must learn to breathe right down to there (it's in behind your stomach and goes right back to your spine) and then with the air from your diaphram you must learn to control the rate that the air comes out at. After a while your diaphram gets used to the constant pressure and it seems normal. You know you're breathing with your diaphram if when you take a breath in your shoulders dont move, just your stomach and chest. Its exactly the same with any instrument.
Come on guys, im 14 and i know all this!

It takes less air to sing a high note. You actually need to go a bit softer on it.

When I sing a high note, it sounds very bad in an obnoxious shrill way, rather than simply being bad when I sing a low note.

When I hit a high note, I sound like Mariah Carey.

You use the muscles in your throat to tighten up your vocal cords sort of like guitar strings.
