Much of the music I listen is to played by bands with male vocalists with very high, pure voices. For an idea of these bands, check out myspace.com/askylitdrive and myspace.com/alesana. But when I try to sing in the same octave, my voice often quivers, falls flat, is weak, or even cracks, according to the note.
I'm 16, I'll be 17 in a few months. I was wondering, is there a way to increase and strengthen my upper vocal range? I have noticed that since I was about 15 and started trying to sing these types of vocals, my ability to sing higher notes has improved, but I'm not quite where I'd like to be. Is there anything I can do to change this?

yes, keep in mind your voive is still gonna keep changing for the better part of ten years but you can work your way into higher octaves, a lot of musicians can bridge to their falcetto very easily and they're not actually hitting those notes them self, you can do that or do exercises that increase your range, a good one is to sing the ah sound 5 times each time moving down one step of the scale, and then start again but start the first ah on a higher not than you started with the last time and keep doing it

Actually, there is hope for dilemmas like yours. The first and foremost, and most importantly, is to take voice lessons from a private voice teacher. They range from 20-$50 per lesson, and depending on the teacher, it may be more or less. DON'T STRAIN YOUR VOICE! If you reach a note that you can't sing, don't force it. It will strain your vocal chords and it will not sound good. Scales are very important. That means you'll have to learn all the major, minor, etc... scales (which includes reading music and learning the keyboard won't be a bad idea either). Chromatic scales are a little more advanced, but they help a lot too. And keep up your practicing, maybe an hour to 1.5 hours per day or every other day. I wouldn't suggest more than that because you need time to rest your throat. Take voice lessons though, it will do more help than expected. Good luck!

Yes, it is possible to stretch your range. I know from experience, since I started focusing more on my voice than other instruments a couple of years ago. It's not going to happen overnight, but if you properly work at it, you can do it.
"Properly" is the key word here. Take some vocal training. They can show you how to properly stretch your voice without blowing it out. You'd be amazed that what you can learn in just one lesson. Tranining videos are no real substitution for 1 on 1 lessons, but you can still learn a lot from them. I'd highly recommend the warm-up techniques from Mark Baxter (check out his CD / DVD / VHS works).

Scales. Scales, scales, scales. despite if it is shaky, you are able to desire to attempt returned and returned returned. Do you have a piano? if so, take stickers or tape a small piece of paper to the utmost observe you are able to attain. daily shop music of it and upload a decal to the observe you have reached and notice the form you have made... it will motivate you to maintain going. do no longer hesitate to paintings on decrease notes, besides!
