Q&A for How to Become a Soprano When You're an Alto (for Females)

You can do vocal exercises every day, and keep pushing for higher notes. Make sure it comes from your diaphragm, or else it won't work as effectively.

Install a voice tuner app on your phone or tablet. Make sure its accurate.

That's not embarrassing! I know several females (myself included) who can sing tenor parts, and in musical theater, it comes in handy more often than you think. Just think of it as a wider vocal range.

Nothing is wrong, some people wish to try new things or increase vocal ranges. There is nothing wrong with either.

Follow the steps, but remember your voice is your own. Don't forget, she edits her voice to set the mood of her song. She also gets a lot of her sound through the shape of her mouth, so it's not her voice alone doing the work. Continue imitating her but dont try to make your voice just like someone else because your voice is unique and beautiful. Use it as you please.

It's very similar to soprano. Mainly, the seconds usually sing the same melody, but one or two notes lower.

Wait until your voice has been trained enough as a Soprano 1, then try whistle notes. If that's too hard, try overtone singing.

Use your stomach as opposed to your nose, and push out the notes using your head voice.

You shouldn't try to belt higher than you can naturally without a proper singer training you. You can severely damage your vocal chords by trying to belt out of your comfort zone. If the sound sounds strained, stop.

Try adding more runs and turns as you are singing. Be free with the music and really just do what feels natural.

If you have private lessons with, make an effort to be able to sing higher notes more comfortably and they might reconsider you.

If you are between 4th and 12th grade, try taking a choir class. The class teaches you how to sight read music and read them for their notes' worth. A piano lesson or two couldn't hurt as well.

Practice, practice, practice! Try doing scales and other warm ups as well.

Yes. Usually, it depends on the style of the music you're singing. If you're singing high notes, but it sounds very soft compared to the lower notes, it's probably because you're using falsetto to sing the high notes (singing with your throat instead of your stomach).

It would be considered great, of course. IF it was true. Not even Maria Callas had a 5 octaves range. Don't mislead yourself.

As long as it is a song you are confident and comfortable with performing (and you can find the right sheet music), you can audition with a song transposed into any key you like, especially to fit your range.

Practice! It's the most important thing that you can do. Work with new vocal warm-ups, which go beyond that which you already do, and gradually increase the athleticism of each exercise you do. Learn what is comfortable for you, and then do a bit more above and below. Never push yourself to sing high just because you want to be able to; the voice is a very fragile instrument, and it takes work to increase your range. Be patient, and it will come!

I don't think you're going to have much luck, unfortunately. Voices tend to develop as you age, even for females, so your voice is most likely leaning towards the alto side.

Just keep practicing the notes that you can sing and then slowly work your way up higher and higher. Make sure that you don't strain your voice by going too high. Keep within you actual and natural range. If it's not as high as Ariana's, then don't strain that high.

You can increase your range with a degree of training, but you can't normally change your vocal type. Try singing songs that sit higher in your range than normal to strengthen that area and over time build yourself up.

Yes, your voice changes as you age. If you practice and sing with feeling the rhythm and music, you will improve in time. Just ask yourself why you listen to your favorite singer. And try to put that feeling and emotion into your voice. It will grow with practice. You are not too young to begin.

No. If you’re more comfortable singing high notes, you’re a soprano. If low notes are your forte, you’re an alto. You can, however, sing as low as an alto and as high as a soprano.

Humans can only belt so high, be sure you're using proper belt techniques and that you're not screaming. Belting shouldn't push out much air, also raise your soft palate and larynx to avoid strain and make those higher notes sound bigger. If you can mix your chest voice with your mixed voice it will create a sound similar to belting in that higher area.

Think of a soprano whose singing voice you like -- Mariah Carey, Taylor Swift, Dove Cameron, someone like that. Then, use the above steps to try to sing like them -- or how you think it sounds good.
