As I grew up I always thought of myself as an alto. I did not have a high voice and could not reach much higher than a C above middle C. When I came to highschool my musical theatre teacher insisted that I was a soprano. Now I can reach as high as a B above high C. The thing is, though, that it seems as if I have to change my voice almost to hit higher notes. My voice is softer at lower notes and very sharp at higher notes. In one song where I must jump from a B to an F is sounds almost as if my voice changes. No one has mentioned that it sounds strange but I can hear it in my voice. Is this normal? I also have trouble controlling my voice in a higher range. Sometimes it will crack or break. Is there ways to work on this and fix it? I also find it much easier to hit just one high note and I can hold a single high note for quite a while, but my voice doesnt do so well when I must sing an entire melody in a high range. Are there ways I can work on this? Any suggesstions or comments are much appreciated.
