F#2-B5 is a pretty wide range, that's like 2-1/2 octaves.  IMO, you're doing pretty good if you can cover all of that.  <br><br>Didn't get a chance to listen to the audio.  I usually browse the forum on my lunch hour and the Webnonsene program blocks those types of things.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[First of all, your bassist is out of tune.  Secondly, I would be really surprised to hear a bass F# come out of you. You definitely sound like a tenor.  If it's true though, then you may be a baritone. In that case, it's unlikely that you will be able to sing much higher than a tenor A.  If you can, it will be with better breath support and less tension in you vocal folds and jaw.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Alright, so I've been singing for near to three years now (17, btw), but only in the past 7 or 8 months have I been stretching to use notes at the top of my register. Currently my range is around F#2-B5, though I cannot sustain the top few for very long. <br>Now, when I took lessons at the age of 13/14 I remember the top of my range being something to the tune of Eb4 (the high note in Smashing Punmpkin's '1979'), so I guess I've improved a bit on my own. But I really wish I could have better stamina on my higher octave and at least get up to a C5, if not D or E (Bruce Dickinson is my idol). What do you guys suggest to get me up there?<br>Also, here is where the constructive criticism comes in: there are a couple tracks with me singing at <a href="http://www.myspace.com/southernfear">http://www.myspace.com/southernfear</a><br>tell me what you think, what I should work on, and the like.<br>The highest note I hit on the tracks is A5. <br><br><br>Thanks much,<br>---erich]]></content:encoded>
