Christine's VoiceOk, so as I am an aspiring actress I am curious about most of the lead character's vocal ranges.My current obsession is Phantom so naturally I am intrested in the part of Christine. My question is what is the highest note Christing has to hit? I know most of you wonder this as she has an unaturally high voice (JK!). But you know. Sarah Brighton hits a high Eb. The note above the C two octaves about middle C. My voice is currently about three octaves, maybe more. And I think (maybe) I can hit that note. I want to make sure but if my voice isn't that high or if it hasn't matured enough (I'm only 14) , anyone have any suggestions as to how to raise my vocal range? Please! I'm going to be taking singing lessons some time next fall through next June/May. Thanks |

Well what do ya know, I found it myself. In fact anyone interested in finding out who you would need to audition for within your vocal range, click on the following link. Tell me who you would audition for given the chance.

Re: Christine's Voice
Christine's higest note is a high E (end note of the title song), she also hits a couple of high Cs. In your singing lessons you'll learn how to properly support the notes. Much of the work is to learn how to control your breath, by letting out enough air to support the note well (to avoid straining of the vocal chords), while at the same time saving air to sustain and control the note. Untrained singers often "flung" out all air at once (listen to Gerard Butler's high notes), because this is the only way they manage to hit a high note. But the result is strained notes that cannot be held for too long, and in the end it's damaging the voice. I'm sorry I can't give you any specific advice - teaching someone to sing over the web is hard... Best of luck!! |

It's not just about hitting the note it's HOW you sing it and what personal style you give it. At 14 you are too young to attempt Phantom really, be very careful experimenting on your own. | ||

I have some advice. Don't sing it. Don't even attempt to at fourteen. No Phantom or Wicked for that matter. It will destroy your vocal cords quicker than anything.
Give it a few years and then try. |

Oops. See, I saw the movie when I was ten years old, and ever since that night, I have had every fiber of by being set on getting the role of Christine someday. Therefore, I have been practicing her songs ever since I was ten. I am now thirteen. I can hit every one of her notes well (this is coming from my mom, a trained singer) except the high E at the end of Phantom which I can hit badly. So am I screwed or what? |

I would just stop hitting the really high notes until you're older, unless you know 100% sure that you are not straining AT ALL.
Still exercise your lower and middle range, but be very gentle with that upper range. AND DON'T STRAIN. You don't want to damage your voice. |

I have a question though- what if one can hit them naturally? I know two girls who are rising freshman/rising sophomore in high school who can with ease, so they claim. | ||
