How Men Get Into Headvoice

[@JP-mk6ml]

When getting into headvoice, I can’t seem to distinguish whether it’s truly headvoice or if I’m singing falsetto. Is there a difference? If so, how do you distinguish between the two?

[@BecomingANaturalSinger]

great idea for a topic :)

[@dmythica]

​@@BecomingANaturalSingerhey did you make a video on this topic? I can't tell the difference either.

[@sebastianrodriguez8398]

I have been taking singing seriously for 4 years now and most people don’t understand the voice is something you sculpt and shape over time with a lot of patience and hard work. The first thing you do is feel and get familiarized with the sensations of your voice in different registers and resonators, then you have to be able to access the different resonators on demand and finally you shape the sound. When I started grasping chest voice it was overwhelming because the feeling was new, now I can make it dense or light.

[@rhettkennedy3507]

I think it's interesting how you talk about the feel of the techniques in many ways, not just the sound. I'm a voice actor, and I notice that the characters, different voices I do come about not from the sound of it, but rather how one physicalizes through the body. With practice, there is just a feel to it when you do it right, and you know. If you do it wrong, and you are paying attention to what is going on inside you, you know.

[@BecomingANaturalSinger]

This is great, yes very much so you have to feel the coordination related to the sound, then the sound will take care of itself. To many singers go for the sound rather than the feeling.

[@kluglowe]

That's the first time I actually understand where head voice is supposed to begin. The Letting go thing took me back to my swimming classes as a kid. Once one let go the fear, it begins to happen. Thank you, Maestro!

[@BecomingANaturalSinger]

great news!

[@rhettkennedy3507]

Very interesting. I've only discovered some of this process by accident (saying ah, my voice is strained, how do I fix this?) and never quite as eloquently as you describe this. Wish I would have found this out a lot longer ago from you, could have saved me a LOT of time! Thanks for posting this!

[@alexschneider915]

The reason why your strain is because you have to drop your jaw properly and drop it a little narrow so it can create much air coming to your voice all singer did this to prevent it from straining their voice Hope this help ( I'm not sure ok I just hear this guide from the other coach on KZbin)

[@GrahamStewart200]

For the first time I actually can see a route to getting into head voice. Whether I can navigate that route is another thing… Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

[@BecomingANaturalSinger]

You can do it!

[@GrahamStewart200]

@@BecomingANaturalSinger I’m actually reading your book as we speak. I’m definitely going to try again to master this. Thank you again.

[@nicedog1]

The problem I have is that I am singing in chest voice then need to go up. If I need to go into falsetto to get the notes, I can but then I sound like Micky Mouse which isn’t what I want as I’m a male. Please advise. Thanks

[@Jferraro24]

Same have you figured it out

[@shawn576]

Not a singer, but I'm trying your thing of scaling up and down. That feeling of a "break over" happens lower than where I normally talk. Was I talking in a high pitch head voice this whole time?

[@itsgrim2301]

Been struggling with this for a while, when I try to let the break happen, I can feel I'm in a different register, but I'm not sure if its my head voice or my falsetto...

[@dVM042Li]

8:47 to 9:47 are the ten most important seconds in all singing lessons in the universe. lol. Many thanks!

[@RohanSharma-me8ry]

In feel the air on the upper part of my nose and this air travels my head, its like falsetto but less abhout of air and sounds like sharp , so is this head voice

[@bellaswitchtrials]

when i try this i just keep going into falsetto :/ ive always had this issue. falsetto is easy for me but head voice is now

[@kennyholliday7492]

Hi Sir Carl thx excellent video / hope u r doin great

Nice one Kenny, hope you're good

[@rotweiiler]

I'm told by teachers I'm a tenor altho I can only pull top A comfortablly in chest which confuses me - still no concept of head voice even after years of trying - Any tips ??

[@penroselew]

This is really interesting and makes a lot of sense. Is it the same at the lower end as far as far as developing the lower notes?

[@bazingacurta2567]

Your videos are absolutely great. You deserve way more subs.

[@SimonFreston]

Wow! This one clicked! I have definitely been fighting my head voice, started to relax and sounding way!!! Better! Thank you!

[@into.the.wood.chipper.]

It sounds like UH (cup) to OU (book). It seems that if you do not modify at all, you will start to yell and start to develop cracking and strain.

[@fulviobennato]

How do I know if I remove the breathyness of falsetto and that my vocal chords are connected.

[@cringebucket7916]

When I first started singing I got into my head voice with no problem, easier than he makes it seems.

[@BecomingANaturalSinger]

depends on the singer, for some people head voice is very hard or impossible to access at first.

[@awkwardukulele6077]

Took me months to even find a shitty falsetto. It’s harder than he makes it seems for me. But that’s the operative phrase: “for me”. It’s subjective. It’s cool if you you don’t have the same problems others do, but some people really struggle on this.

I like to think of it as changing gears..and when you get from manual transmission to automatic transmission,, there is no thinking; it just happens..

This was the only video where I really understood how to do the chest voice! I thank you very very very much I'm really happy right now

[@JA_VE]

Chest voice is speaking voice so everybody can do that

[@chilidog73]

What if I have an easy time singing in a higher range, but a difficult time with a hard break down toward the lower range? And I have a fairly low voice.

[@BecomingANaturalSinger]

Consistent closure / support in the technique is key, applying this principle takes time and knowledge.

[@Solomon_Bachelor]

this is a really embarrassing question. but is middle c c3 or c4 because 2:52 it sounded like c3. My break is at an octave above that.

[@nebjamin3499]

it was a C4

[@BecomingANaturalSinger]

C4 is middle C for guys and C5 high C for guys.

Possibly at first, as you improve you'll be able to take more weight into head voice.

[@voyagemusicstudio2758]

Great content!! Is it normal for the larynx to raise when applying the cry as you go higher? As someone commented already, I do feel as if the throat closes. Is there something like too much cry in the voice? Maybe I am overdoing it. Thank you!

[@WhaleBlueEye]

This is a really clear explanation. Thank you! Is there a video on how to shape that tone once you are no longer reaching?

[@FitxFresh]

Please explain what you mean by “split”?

[@gangstacj4048]

Your video is informative and clear, but it didn’t helped me anyway. I don’t know, maybe it’s just something wrong with my cords. Like, physically wrong. It seems like it’s impossible to sing with head voice, like there’s no range at all, just nothing, emptiness. Though I tried to do it relaxed and so on. There’s a strange thing, sometimes I can sing with head voice when my throat is ill a bit, but it’s weird. Anyway, thank you for this video. I’ll try to find some other tips, I shall nail it one day for sure

Tension or strain, can be very hard to tell the difference, many times you'll find something but lose it again, keep searching.

What do you reckon is the best vowel for training head voice when you have a tendency to reach? A great vid btw :)

Great question, dark and narrow 'ugh' as in when you say the word 'book' is best, if you can control that through the bridge everything else is easy xx

When you say head voice, do you mean mix voice?

[@MommyOyster]

What's the difference between headvoice and false voice?

[@MommyOyster]

I can sing the whistle tone ,, but not able to figure out the difference between head voice and false voice while singing on a more flat tone ,,, in my mind head voice is just trying to sing lighter but using your chest voice?

[@BecomingANaturalSinger]

head voice has more crycothyroid engagement lengthening the vocal cords for higher pitches, other than that there is not really any difference in a sense.

keep larynx down and the cords connected, everything works from this foundation.

What do you mean sir that i should apply cry when i hit high notes?

[@BecomingANaturalSinger]

yawn, cry, feel a release of pressure, we are always searching to find ways to not yell.

[@Mdc_317]

When you say head voice, do you mean the part of your high register in chest voice or do you mean falsetto?

[@BecomingANaturalSinger]

I could mean both, light or heavy, I just mean the top third of a mans range when I say head voice.

[@zanjibowen8954]

Can someone explain to me what he means by breaking. Because in my head, I think it’s something else

[@BecomingANaturalSinger]

Break? A flip or sense of disconnecting / dropping weight very quickly as you move higher in range.

Without examples it's hard for me to say.

Well 113

[@Dadoo83]

Aren't all notes, even the lowest ones caused by the position that the larynx is tilted to?

It tilts more and more the higher you go.

[@cringebucket7916]

As high as your speaking voice can get that's how high your singing voice can get, just make it sound pretty when you sing, you can start off by speaking in a high pitch voice, then once you reach that highest point start to make it sound like you're singing and not still talking.

[@embr4247]

Is it normal to have your voice become a bit crackly when reaching the point when you can’t get any higher? (At the point where you can feel your vocal cords closing because they can’t stretch further without meeting)

[@BecomingANaturalSinger]

No generally should be smooth and even throughout.

[@papajanian]

Crying position is so helpful and can make the song kind of sad, but need a lot of practice to master all vowels, am I right ?

[@BecomingANaturalSinger]

Yes, all sounds have the cry you just can't hear it as much when other frequencies are moved forwards.

[@chimmy.0]

I think I do this with my throat tightened maybe because when I cry my throat gets tight
