How to Sing in Head Voice - Soprano Range

Navigating through the break can be challenging, especially if we've developed some less than idea singing habits in the past or are unfamiliar with the concept of what the vocal register events are. In this video I use some of the best exercises I have to help singers become more accustomed to approaching their breaks (secondo passaggio) and starting the process of smoothing it out so that they can have a seamless transition from chest voice to head voice.

This is such delight to sing along to but I love the way it moves quickly - no time to get things wrong! My voice felt as if it sounded so melodious - thank you for this Jeff.

Great great exersises. I have to say though, that when I do them, specially the first of all the series starting at D5 down, I feel I am in my head voice, is this supposed to be ok or should I feel more chest resonance from D5 to lower notes? I can feel that this kind of exercises help improve my tone too! Many thanks and I will build my own playlist as I check the videos and try which are the best for my present voice development.

Hello Patricia! Yes! You are meant to be above the secondo passaggio on the initial notes of the exercise. As you descend, the idea is to gently move more towards thyro arytenoid dominant singing. It sounds like you're doing it exactly right! Keep it up! Hopefully we'll see you this weekend! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqqvf5iIr9GhqsU Best! Jeff

[@pegmacmillan5792]

can you come to lansing michigan and bring a piano to my place and help me sing 😀

[@JeffRolka]

Lansing! I'd be happy to. Perhaps next time I visit my Mom I can swing by, though you'd have to provide the piano. While I lived in California for many years and am currently in England I grew up not far from Lansing in Warren. Thanks for watching! Jeff

[@pegmacmillan5792]

awww I don't have a piano😟 do you have like a piano keybord we could practice on when you do come to Michigan?

Is it possible to be an alto and be able to sing lessons in soprano range? My teacher told me that I'm typical alto, but it was at the start of my singing lessons. I didn't use head register back then almost at all. 3 weeks ago I did the same lesson as this one but in alto range and it were the highest notes that I could sing. Then I had my first concert and... something happened to my voice. It's hard to tell what exactly, but it somehow has broken free :D and now I'm able to hit as high notes as these in this video. And my question is: does that mean that I'm not an alto, but a contralto?

[@aloeoe]

maybe a mezzo soprano or tenor
