Yodeling

My voice is all hoarse now because I just practiced yodeling for an hour.

When yodeling you're going from your low register to your high register,
or your "chest voice" to your "head voice".

How high can you go?

I hit a high B flat this morning.

I thought I was going to pass out!

But I did it!!!!!

I can hit three octaves of B flat
and I can begin on a low F below middle C.

I called my mom on her cell phone,
but she was driving down the interstate so I hung up.
I was going to yodel for her so I could practice having someone listening to me.
I haven't done this in front of anyone for fifteen years!

I'm scared!

More practicing later ...
when my voice gets back!

Must go drink some water!

Glad your yodeling is coming along nicely. Don't over strain your voice. I have seen singers ruin their voices by over reaching. Wish I could hear that yodeling.

That's some range. I've always had the low range but the highest I could ever stretch was the high A flat and as often or not it came out as a screech or a squeak.

Maybe you should record your yodeling and figure out a way to post it. I'm sure someone knows how to do that out there in blogland.

Okay, I've got the hint. BUT ... I want to get better at it first ... then I'll post it and let you listen.

Believe me ... I get my "squeaks" in there too!!!!
