Remember the viral carpool karaoke videos on YouTube? The ones that are most fun always have four people in the car. If you’re a family of three, grab a relative who lives to sing and make it a surprise by unexpectedly breaking into song!

Resist going full soprano on your first song. To hit the high notes, first warm up with a feel-good, mid-tempo ditty that eases you up the range. Still not getting it? Here’s a clever shortcut to get your vocals soaring in no time — modify the vowels of words where the high notes happen. As one expert notes, “Even non-singers instinctively know they can go higher if they shout ‘whoo-hoo’ rather than ‘ah-ha’. Use closed vowel sounds such as ‘oo’ or ‘ee’ when singing higher scales.”

Most concerts have a short break in the middle, so why not yours? Stop at a Caltex, refuel your car and refresh your throat with honey-infused drinks from Caltex Star Mart.

As your destination nears, wrap up with an epic song. With everyone in full chorus and the windows wound down, exchange waves, smiles and high-fives with other folks in the parking lot.
