Dear Graham, thanks for your reply.Maybe I have been trying to sing too many high notes.Actually I am not exactly "losing" my high notes.It's just that it could be the reason of overuse in "high" notes" that I am not singing as comfortable as I used to sing with those high notes.I would like to clarify that what I am refering as C5 is definitely not middle C.Using my own chromatic pitch instrument,it is a tenor high C.If u are still confused,the notes are in ascending order : Middle C D E F G A B C.The last note which is a C is what I am refering to.I think u should be clear enough by now.And frankly speaking,it must be really easy for u to produce those high notes of mine comparing to me.By the way,do u think that a baritone could actually sing a C6???A lot of people would probably say "no".I wonder in the olden days,how did the singers get such wide range???This is not only limited to opera singers.I also found that pop singers in the old days could sing really high notes without using their falsetoo.They must have gone through a lot of vocal training.In addition,do high notes come more easily for tenors than baritones??? What I mean is that going through the same training,it seems as though tenors are able to get their high notes in a shorter time than baritones.It do sounds a bit hard to imagine that some composers of the past also require the baritones to sing high "F" and "G"s.Anyway the singers themselves in the past are such great singers who seemed to have more access and comfort to sing those high notes than singers nowadays.Afterall my choral conductor have told me before that there was once a Russian bass who can vocalise all the way to Soprano high C (C6)!!!I think I know the feeling of head voice in my head.It comes as bright and u can feel your head buzzing at a strong sensation. And the higher u go,the chest vibration will slowly disappear.Now that I have to come back to the topic,how do u strength and gain back those strong beautiful high notes???What kind of vocal exercises should I do???Hopefully please don't give me those difficult and high notes vocal exercises.I think that might worsen the condition.Thanks a lot!!!
