#high notes

[nucimylio]

Disclaimer: This comic is not meant to dog on or cause dysphoria to any trans women. Also, I know that some trans women can sing higher than some men, but that is not the case for this comic. I also know that a lot of trans women can hit notes higher than what Sarah is hitting, I honestly don't know music that well so I just chose a random note for her to hit. Lastly, Kenny is listed as merely "man" rather than cis man or trans man not to cause offense to trans people, but because I haven't decided yet if Kenny should be a cis or trans man. Saw the Hatsune Miku's high range test going kinda viral on TikTok, so I had to make a comic with Sarah and Kenny! Sarah is quite early on in her transition, and while she has trained her speaking voice enough to pass as feminine, she still struggles with hitting the same high notes that Kenny can hit, and she gets jealous.

CHARACTERS (left to right):

Sarah - Anything Goes

Kenny - Anything Goes OC

RENJUN...

I still can't forget Renjun's high note in Boom even though the song came out in 2019, it's still 100% iconic to me .

trick please?

Trick: the best way to approach high notes is to think about opening the BACK of your mouth, almost like you're yawning, or you're about to bite into a big juicy delicious apple. Warm up to them gradually to slowly stretch the muscle as you work up. Also high notes can sense fear, so you've gotta attack them loudly and boldly!

(but seriously, you gotta open the BACK of your throat to access more pharyngeal space and allow the larynx flexibility. If you ever had a choir teacher say "your mouth should be open three fingers wide" just know I'm hitting them with hammers)

Hailstones blog-specific trick or treat: If you send me a "trick" ask, I'll share singing tricks and advice. If you send a "treat" ask, I'll share something I made with my home grown produce this year.
