Is there a female head voce workout video available please?

[@amy-kf9go]

I've been doing this for almost a month now and I've seen so much improvement. My mixed voice is getting stronger.

[@EmiPellegrinoMusic]

I love how during the Bratty Nay , you said "chest chest chest mix mix mix chest chest chest chest" . BECAUSE my students sometimes have such a hard time remembering that they can come BACK into chest voice ! They think they have to stay in mix the entire exercise at first , so it's SOOOO good that you said that !!!!

[@SpencerWelchVocalStudio]

Yes! Mix voice can only exist when chest voice is the foundation. The lowest notes will get too light if mix voice is dragged down there, and then the whole voice gets weaker.

[@EmiPellegrinoMusic]

@@SpencerWelchVocalStudio Exactly ! Some of my students have a hard time grasping that so I yell "okay now come back DOWN ! Okay now MIX IT ! Now come back DOWN !" I'm just glad to see I'm not alone in my method 😂

"Cry mum" help me for mix voice. When I can see the effects of this excersise? I do it everyday.

[@SpencerWelchVocalStudio]

Everyone is different when it comes to seeing results. First, it depends on what you consider "results": perhaps the ability to sing a mix voice on all the vowels? or to sustain mix voice? to apply it to an easier song? to apply it to a more difficult song? And then the second variable is who you are: your history with singing, the good and bad habits you've developed, how often you practice, how well you practice, the genetic construction of your voice, etc... This is why it's impossible to predict the timeline of a singer's development, especially one that I have never heard or worked with :)

I would have to hear you to know for sure, but if you are getting louder on your higher notes, you could be bringing up too much chest voice and getting too heavy. For right now, focus on trying to keep all the notes in your exercises the same volume or even allow your higher notes to be softer temporarily. This can give your mix voice the chance to develop.

Thank you so much for this workout. I still haven’t mastered my mix voice like I want too.

My range seems to have dropped over the years and I am struggling to hit high notes like I use too. Me and my husband sing with out three children in a southern gospel group and I can tell I just can’t reach my part like I use to and it is very discouraging.

Is there another vocal workout for women that could help me get my range back?

[@SpencerWelchVocalStudio]

I can't say for sure what's going on in your voice without working with you in a lesson, but it sounds like your higher notes are getting lost because your chest voice is getting weaker. Are your lower notes sounding full and clear similar to your speaking voice? Or are your lower notes strong, but then your voice breaks or flips into that light, breathy sound for the higher notes?

There are transitions in the voice so I'm referring to the second one

[@janpaterson4995]

Hi. Thank you very much for taking the time to answer. I'm finding the exercises very helpful indeed.

Still feel like I’m flipping from a strong chest to light head voice rather then a gradual mix🙄🙄

[@SpencerWelchVocalStudio]

I'd have to hear you and work with you in a lesson to see what's going on. There can be many reasons why this can happen, from technical approach to vocal health issues. Feel free to book a lesson with me here: www.spencerwelch.com/lessons/book-now/ Or if budget is a concern, you can book a 20-minute trial lesson with my associate teacher for only $15: www.spencerwelch.com/ko-trial-lesson

this hurts my voice and I notice a lot of phlegm in my throat as I'm doing these exercises, is that normal?

[@123crazy10]

You should never pain when singing so you probably are doing it wrong

[@voicefromdown]

Uuuhhh, for me as a woman this is much too high :-o Mind if I do the exercises for guys? :-)

[@SpencerWelchVocalStudio]

Of course, you can do what you want, but unless you're a true alto (which is pretty rare) your high range is probably limited because you don't spend enough time up in your head voice and mix voice. Most women are some kind of soprano, but if they only develop their chest voice, they are only using 1/3 of their voice. Of course, I would have to hear you and work with you to know for sure, but my suggestion would be to try singing along with this video and drop out whenever it gets far too high. Then come back in when it comes back into your range. But first, push yourself just a little to attempt notes that you usually don't sing in songs. The only way to grow is to take yourself out of your comfort zone.

[@voicefromdown]

Hey, thanks for your answer. I am an alto, yes. Don't know, how low I can sing, but lower than a D3. I tried the female exercises, but I had to quit at the beginning of that 2nd passage and get again into it, when it becomes lower. I know I have to train my upper voice, but ... uuuhhh that hurted today, cause I have to keep my mouth closed :-)

[@SpencerWelchVocalStudio]

Ah I see. Well, definitely don't do anything that will hurt your voice. There is a way to develop your upper range that shouldn't irritate the vocal cords. If you have a heavier voice, you might want to work on this under the tutelage of an experienced voice teacher so they can tailor your workout to the exercises and the keys that you need. Like I mentioned before the authentic alto voice type is quite rare (I've taught only 11 in 25 years!) but whatever your voice type is, if you can sing down to a D3 and lower, you have some nice thickness in the voice. It's important to learn how to stretch and thin that out in your upper registers to balance out and fully develop your voice :)

[@voicefromdown]

I started to practise with a vocal coach when I was 15, I sang in many bands, in a choir and I started now again after a break of two years. Feels like I am a newbee, and I think though I'm 43 years old, I have so much more to learn about my instrument :-) So thanks for your support.

What does hooty mean?

[@SpencerWelchVocalStudio]

It's a hollow, flute-like sound. We say that an owl "hoots." You can hear more about it in this video: What is Head Voice? kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4iWp4iiltWfh6c

Awesome excersises but the talking while performing the exercises was distracting. Makes achieving precision more difficult.
