Top Notes and Emotions


All singers specially tenors love to climb to the tope of register and feel powerful up there, this is a healthy part of the professional development of any singer, but do not forget this, every high note encloses a purpose in the text, and as singers we must unveiled this purpose to the audience. If we do not do this, top notes as anything else in singing become a mere circus exhibition. The circus mentality is widespread in singing, sometimes the public, the audience wants to hear the adrenaline of visceral powerful top notes from the singer, and a true singer has master the balance between interpretation, beauty and true turmoil expression. Going to high on expression and you could lack musicality, too much musicality and you could become a cold singer. Remember, the audience is not there even though they swear not, to listen your notes; they came to your recital or concert with the expectation to be emotionally connected with your tunes, so you must unleash your emotions with the excuse of been a singer.
