Singers, ready to reach those high (or low!) notes? In this video, teacher Arlys A. demonstrates some easy vocal exercises to use as you work on increasing your range.
Vocal Exercises to Increase Your Range
Try incorporating these exercises into your practice routine:
- Lip bubbles or lip trills
- The “oooh” slides
From there, work with your voice teacher to find songs at the right level for you. It’s crucial to find the balance of challenging yourself, but not straining your voice!
Here’s an idea of what your voice teacher may work with you on:
- Discovering your current vocal range is our first step.
- You should then discover your weak spots – where your voice sounds weak, where you have trouble, and where you need help. After this we can then start to increase your vocal range.
- Here, you’ll learn tips and suggestions on how to sing lower or higher – depending on what you want. Lessons will vary here, as each student is different.
- Lastly, you’ll learn how to bridge your voices together so there is no gap between them.

Make sure to stand up straight and fully support your voice as you’re working on these exercises, too. Posture can make all the difference!
