Do you want to know a vocal technique that professional singers use to hit those high notes easily? How about a secret that allows singers to perform without straining their voices or sounding hoarse?

It seems too good to be true, right? This is all about training and developing your mix voice. When you develop your mix voice, you will confidently sing in both your chest and head registers. Developing the mix voice has become something of a holy grail for singers. When done properly, you can:

✔️ Switch easily between registers

✔️ Achieve vocal freedom

✔️ Extend your range

✔️ Sing without tension

✔️ Sing powerful low notes

 

Using Your Chest and Head Voice

There are two common types of singers: chest voice singers and head voice singers.

Chest voice singers often experience vocal strain when attempting a higher note. It requires the use of your more robust, more resounding voice. When they raise their voices, they make this sound like they are squeezing their vocal cords. You can tell you're using your chest voice by the vibration you feel when you put your palm on your chest and sing.

On the other hand, the head voice singers often need help singing lower notes powerfully. You can tell you're using your head voice when you reach up to those higher notes and feel the sound and vibration in your head.

The most common mistake of singers is they do not move between their chest and head voice quickly enough, or they don't switch at all. As a result, it leads to some tension or a crack in the voice.

 

The Best of Both Worlds

Our ultimate goal is to have a voice that can seamlessly transition from your head to your chest to achieve the best of both worlds! You'll get more control over your voice in general. You'll be able to utilize your voice with less strain and hoarseness.

The chest and head voice use different vibration patterns and vocal muscles. So, how do we achieve a seamless transition from the chest to head voice?

Step one: Make both the chest and voice muscles equally strong. 

Step two: Make both communicate together so both can start working together.

In this way, when you sing high notes, your head voice muscle is engaged to help you get through the notes, and your chest voice muscle is engaged to help you gain strength. You can also do it the other way around.

The transition from your chest to your head voice can still cause a slight crack. But don't worry too much! It takes a lot of practice. If you try to master mix voice, it will be a valuable skill for you to have in your singing career.

Because your voice is a muscle, it needs the right exercises, practice sessions, and time to develop. In this FREE training you learn the most important vocal technique to sing without any hoarseness, tension or insecurities: Click here to sign up for free.
