Hi M.Lunte, I am posting here my question about the low head tones :-)

I though I did my sirens well, but I downloaded your "groovy ballad" and I still have troubles with those passagio notes.

In this video I have hard time to know when do you start to "slide" up to the head voice. It seems that I yet put too much mass on my vocal chords, which does not allow me to slide correctly.

Thanks

@lafionte Well... first of all we are not "sliding".. we are phonating sirens. Second, the bridging process begins in the higher chest voice region, for men, probably around C#4 or D4, you begin to modify vowels, shift formants to heady positions, engage intrinsic anchoring and do the things we teach at TVS to successfully bridge the passaggio. This process is a gradient, its a fluid spectrum, its not "off/on", it "modifies", "transitions" in one big, fluid coordination. Train with me.

thanks for the video. i know what you are saying is correct but do you know any artists that still push their chest voice higher? i find my headvoice too weak on Eb4 or D4 so can i push it up higher with strong breathing?

[roblunte]

@armansrsa Well sure, lots of artists "pull chest" all the time... Bruce Springsteen, pull chest big time for example... pulling chest does not mean you can't be a legendary song writer or have other merits, but it does mean, you need to learn vocal technique. It is expected that as a male, your E4+ would sound "weak"... this is normal without training. This is one of the main reasons people train at The Vocalist Studio, to fix this problem... everyone has this challenge.

Very nice post, Rob! Sounds very intelligibly!

[roblunte]

@Darkvile Thanks Darkville... there is a lot more stuff coming out. If you sign up for my newsletter, you can get access to several very good lectures on warming up, how to make the head voice sound big and "chesty" ... and distortion techniques. Hope to train with you one day.
