But you are definitely need to improve your air control and using your diaphragm and engaging it. You are also trying too hard to imitate another person's voice, let yours grow first and then adapt that style of music to your voice, not the other way around or you will always feel restrained and it'll sound forced. You should probably seek a singing teacher if you are truly serious about this, I think you have developed the wrong mindset and therefore some bad habits in your singing as well. With the proper vocal training you should be able to achieve what you want to sing and eliminate those bad habits. There are some books and online/take home kits but getting a singing teacher is best. | ||

I cant get a teacher, its too expensive and I dont think I can afford it =[. I got some Practice CDs etc. I think they might help but could you like explain how can I distinguish! | ||

I myself am singing exclusively in my high voice. Unfortunately for you, there's no room for countertenor singers in pop music. I sing opera by Händel and other music by Bach. The advice I could give you, is try doing glissando's from your highest note (in your high voice) to your lowest note in your low voice, and then back up. This helps smoothening the breakpoint in your voice. If you practise this enough, and can get your high voice to flow over in your low voice smoothly, that'll be a great step for you. Not every voice can do this though, I myself can't. About the low notes, try not to try too hard. Just relax your throat and don't move your chin to your chest when trying these low notes (this is something every beginner does). Just remember that every voice is unique and you may just be unable to ever sing those low bass notes. Good luck in your singing! EDIT: @adeun: Don't get confused. Countertenor is the term for a male singer singing higher than a tenor. This includes male alto's, mezzo's, and soprano's. After hearing the recording, he could be a countertenor. Depends on how comfortable he feels using his high voice and how high/low he can sing with it. But again, the countertenor voice isn't really suited for pop music. You hear some people using it, like Muse, but that's very exceptional. | ||
