I find that in the evening, when my voice is tired, high notes become much
harder to sing. As for mornings, it all depends on what the night before was
like, but with a correct warm-up, high notes can become easier. If you don't
warm-up then it is likely that the exercise that the voice normally gets
throughout the day would make it easier to sing in the evening than it was
in the morning._____________________________________________________________________________
