My try on stretching G4.

Here I go from C#4 to G4. I tried to do it all: bright sound, vowel modification, breath support...but I still feel that I'm doing something wrong. Anyone can show me the way, please?

Also you are using too much air which is a killer.
I'm just a student so I can't "show you the way", but if you want to be a serious singer, or just be the best singer in your circle, invest in your voice.
It's like building a house. If you had a stack of lumber but no knowledge of how to build a house, how do you think it would come out? Probably not too well.
Same with singing. Only a very fortunate few are able to pick it up, and do it naturally over time, and with a lot of practice (a lot!). Everybody else has to train. (a lot!)
If you do invest in your voice, be careful who you choose to "show you the way". There is a lot of B.S. out there (a lot!), and you don't want to waste money on something that won't even help you.
Peace, Tony
hope I was helpful

Thank you for response, Gaston_Jauregui! Diaphragmatic support is really complex subject to me, yeah. I learned to take the breath before I sing any phrase, but it seems like I do it not the right way. I mean, I take the breath with my diaphragm, but I don't get much force out of it. Thanks for your advice, I will try to learn a good diaphragmatic support before trying to kill myself with this screams! With regards!
so then you incline to your back supporting your body so you dont fall to the ground with your lower ab (the ones below your belly just like a crunch) and try singing the scales like that, this will get you a better result for now until you get the idea on how to support well
btw this inclination doesnt have to be from vertical to very horizontal inclination is just as soon as you feel the strenght on your abdomen
hope i explained myself well
good luck!

I'm talking about one of Ken's LAH scales. You need something to be a frame of reference so you can stay in pitch and on the right notes as you work on your voice.
Thanks, Gaston! I will try it! By the way, can I do some exercise with my diaphragm without singing scales? I am at work right now from 9 to 9, but I have a lot of talking at work.
I believe its better to support your voice even when you speak too
