Head and Chest Voice

[reggaejunkie001]

I have been playing guitar for six years now and I wish to sing well also. I have an issue with making a smooth transition from my head voice to my chest vice(vice versa as well). There is an ugly-sounding break when I attempt to sing from octave (in chest) to octave (in head).

Any tips on working out this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Also I would like to hear how some others effectively improved their singing when they were just starting.

Thanks.

learn the correct technique for singing. that should help a lot. Remember to breath deeply through your stomach using your diaphragm so that you have a lot of breath support. Sing confidently. Learn songs off the radio and sing them back. Work on the speed in which you can run over notes (you can do this by breaking down runs note by note). Have fun. Cheers
