		When a singer or teacher talks of extending their range, they are referring to improving the top or bottom notes to the point where they are as comfortable to sing as the notes in between.
		Whilst a reasonable range allows the singer to perform a wider repertoire of music and is essential for those who wish to perform operatic and classical music, there are plenty of popular vocalists who only use a small proportion or possess a limited vocal range.
		An individuals vocal range may extend in each direction of their comfortable 'fach' or lack the full range of indicated notes but would still fall into the catagory due to the tone and quality of the voice.

		It appears that you have been working on your vocal technique, as your mouth was beautifully circular throughout this performance, allowing you to sustain your vocal sound on pure, uncluttered vowels.
		Also, make certain that your vocal masque (facial features) are relaxed and open; generally you adhered to this element very well, but, once again, as you moved into the upper range, you exhibited considerable tension in your face.
		This was a wonderful vocal performance and your voice resonated a vibrant and rich quality throughout your vocal range.

	Gaffaweb - Kate Bush - DREAMING - E. Misc - E2 Her Work in General - Her Vocal Range
		The ranges i have marked are from a G3 (the G below middle C) on The Dreaming to an A5 flat (the A flat above the A flat above middle C) on Wuthering Heights (that's a bit debatable--she scooped up to somewhere around there, or maybe a bit past).
		Even though this still leaves Kate's range well short of the legendary four octaves so often ascribed to her, IED would not be surprised to discover, in the course of his continuing research, that Kate has "pushed the envelope" even further.
		The reason for this kind of hyperbole no doubt stems from Kate's unusually high "working" vocal range, and the fact that she is able to reach a great many of her higher notes either with or without relying on her falsetto.

	Sing Hard - Avoid Vocal Blow-out
		Vocal sound, as you may already know, is the result of the vibration of your vocal folds (often called "vocal cords" but they're not cords; they’re folds and that's their actual name).
		To produce vocal sound, air is released from your lungs and vibrates your stretched and closed vocal folds.

	Normal Speech, but Upper Range Loss
		Vocal cord swelling is perhaps the most common cause of upper range hoarseness in singers and in people who generally like to talk a lot.

	Choral Vocal Training
		If the vocal onset or release is jagged or erratic, move the hand in an upward sweeping motion to encourage a smooth onset or release of sound.
		Once you have animated the body, initiated consistent breath flow easily connected to sound, energized the nasal placement, and extended the range of the vocalises to awaken the full voice, it is time to focus on vocal beauty.
		The vocal exercise does not have to be complex: easy humming in the shower or simple scalar passages in the car on the way to work are effective; certainly more extensive vocalizing is needed for more rigorous singing.

	Expanding Vocal Range Part One - By Jeannie Deva
		The sounds of your voice are varying degrees of vibrations which emanate from the vocal folds (yes, folds, vocal cords is not the right name).
		The muscles of the vocal folds are able to do this automatically, as long as they are conditioned properly and nothing hinders them, such as too forceful an air stream or throat muscle tension.
