Everybody has a certain range that they can comfortably sing. When you try to hit higher notes you'll notice that your voice loses that full sound as it switches into a falsetto range. A good rule is that you can only sing as high as you can hum, so this practice method does not allow you to open your mouth so that you cannot use your falsetto voice.
Only your favorite singer can sound exactly like themselves as no one can copy their trademark sound exactly. Keep in mind that you can practice and spend time to sound like them or get the same range, but your own voice is your sound. Learn how to work with your voice and cultivate your distinctive sound which people will learn to know.
If you want to increase your range you have to practice, no question about it. It sounds boring and tedious but remember that nobody ever stepped on stage the first time and became a star. They worked at it and practiced until they didn't want to even perform but when you hear them you think that you could do that too.
There are a couple of things that you can do to increase your range such as practice speaking, read something and fluctuate your voice so that it rises and falls with the words your reading. You'll notice that when you're excited your voice gets higher and thinner and when you have a cold your voice is lower. You can do the same thing with your voice to train its range.
Try experimenting reading aloud a childrens story using a lot of expression with your voice because at times it can reach a range in your voice that can surpass your singing range. You are training your voice to reach higher pitches without breaking and then you are relaxing your vocal cords when you sing lower pitches. The vocal cords do fall in comfortably what that are used to singing, except when you reach a higher range they begin to separate and the falsetto voice begins.
Try to teach your voice to relax as your vocal cords attempt to reach higher notes. One way is to practice speaking in a dramatic, almost musical way so that your voice gets used to higher pitches. It is possible you may learn to to sing higher pitches as a result.
You should never try to force your voice to go past its range as you can damage your vocal cords, which don't repair that easily. If they never heal, your voice may change due to your age and how much stress you place on it. If you yell or raise your voice the vocal chords will weaken which is not good as we need to talk to communicate too.
Practicing the correct way will help your vocal cords respond to your "commands". After awhile, you will notice that you are able to sing higher pitches so you expand your range. Your vocal cords will be looser so that you can more easily achieve higher pitches as a result.
