I know well the difference between registers, but I have little control over my break between chest voice and head voice and my head voice tone is complete crap. How do I build the head voice tone and bypass the break is basically my question.
My main issue is that I haven't heard it for myself. Or at least I hadn't. Check this guy out: Robert Lunte
www.myspace.com/tvsvox
In the vid, his first student shown has an incredible sounding head voice (as well as the bigger guy with the glasses in the middle). He's shown later in the video doing scales into and out of his head voice. He maintains a CONVERSATIONAL tone, which is what I'm going for. Lunte talks about about head voice adduction, what in the world is that, and how is it done? |
Ok....well auz's reply seems to suffice, and I have a few things in the power and flexibility and finding head voice links on page one. It just seemed like you were confusing head with falsetto which seems to be the norm around here. As far as the break goes(from chest to head and head to falsetto), it will usually boil down to one or two notes where you 'll naturally feel a need to transition. You should know these, map them out, and do lots of exercises around them ascending and decending. I suggest light volume and push and trying to relax everything you can, including your anus( which really can lead to increased tension allover, seriously. I suggest you do a check here and there and see how often you've got it clenched, you might be surprised)
Abduct/ion think kids or alien abduction: The act of taking away,pulling apart
Adduct/ion think Add: The act of bringing together. The adduction of the cords brings them together(true voice) so that you can get a nice waveform with resonation. What auz is saying is that sometimes people lack strength/coordination/technique,etc to keep this adduction as the cricothyroid joint pulls them tighter and tighter(higher in pitch). Or yea, zipping them up, together= adduction. Lots of words flying around but thats the difference between falsetto and head really, as auz pointed out.
