Nine-note scale
Going one note past the octave takes the voice through its upper bridge and back in one movement, which keeps it from locking at the top.
How to do it
- Breathe well; this is a long phrase.
- Keep the vowel narrow (towards "uh") on the top three notes.
- Come back down without getting heavier.
Remember Narrow the vowel on top, keep it light.
