SINGING IN YOUR HEAD VOICE
Most women naturally gravitate to the middle to head voice when they sing. For men, it’s a much more difficult process. The countertenor is a male singer that sings as high as a soprano. It is actually the rarest type of voice. When a singer is singing in their head voice it is described as vibration felt in the upper half of your face.
Finding your head voice will take some exploration. Think of a siren (from an ambulance) making that “WEE-OWW” sound, now you try making that sound. Most people have a head voice, it’s just learning how to access it or feel it. As you sing higher notes, your vocal cords (folds) get thinner. Think about the strings on a guitar or any other stringed instrument, the higher notes have thinner strings. Your vocal cords are still hard at work. However, the predominant resonator is your sinus area when singing in your head voice. It does not mean other vocal structures are not resonating. It just means more resonance in your sinus cavity.
Hum a note, and take the pitch up and down slowly. Close your eyes, while doing the exercise. Do you feel the vibration moving up and down? Try doing the same thing with a different vowel sounds, like “ee”, “oo”, or “ah”. What happens if you try to buzz like a bee while singing a note? For my students, the first two exercises on my Vocal CD (Bubble – Prrr (which is a lip trill) and the “R” Roll which is a tongue trill) really help with this as well. Both exercises have you go through each register with a smooth transition and you can feel the vibration.
JOKE OF THE DAY:
“The first time I sang in the church choir, 200 people changed their religion.”
