There were some time I was pushing myself quite hard to hit whistle notes (a.k.a super high notes or well-known as super high pitch, i.e. any notes higher than E6, 2 octaves higher from the middle E.) Unfortunately, I ain't born to hit that big notes, I did try. I can only hit sometimes when my vocal cord really had a good rest, but not always. So it doesn't count in my bound of vocal range. What really counts in vocal range is you can do them all every time you wanna do, full score in every single note without "cheating".
But then I figured out that whistle note is just like a bonus in vocal acrobatics. What I prefer my voice to be is actually more powerful in upper range of my chest voice, 'cause sometimes when I come to sing a couple high notes, it sounds like a bit struggling and consuming. After all, wide vocal range is nothing if you don't have a great chest register or good controlling.
For god's sake, after taking rest for some time, my voice quality is now much better than few weeks before, but still easily get vocal fatigue sometimes after extensively used. After taking some rest while preparing for final test, I'm so happy that I can sing my little runs again, and so interested to develop my runs skills. I'm gonna give it a try after my test.
The song I'm gonna work on this coming school break is "And I'm telling you I'm not going" covered by Jennifer Holiday. This is a spectacular song, extraordinarily soulful, but also extraordinarily tough to sing well, too. The big notes, emotions, and skills of this song are all crazy. I'll be glad if I can perform this piece for upcoming singing performance, it'll be a "wow" if I sing it nicely, hopefully. I wish I'm able to get my 3-week school break to have some vocal trainings at home, too. Working on runs, powerful chest register, and try out something else instead of pop, like hip hop and R&B, I began to love hip hop music recently. It's kinda like doing lips and jaw exercises, my mouth has to move fast to catch every word, very funny.
Everyone needs a boost of life. For me, I'm always finding my best voice for the song which suits me best and trying hard to impress people, revealing and proving to the people who used to bring me down, I like the feeling when they start to change their mind after I got myself some changes, got to prove myself, it's the best feeling I ever had so far. Muahaha...
A kinda Jooalicious spirit, keeps getting better and better...
