Everybody sounded terrific! Question: Is it ok to fake a brassy sound?

[@bluefletcherfish]

arxsyn What's the difference between faking and doing it for real? Is it ok to experiment with and use different timbres and sounds with your voice? Of course!

[@mingho3919]

If someone can only sing chest voice to G above middle C, should she sing upper notes with head voice or shout out with chest voice?

[@preckle]

Develop your head voice so it sounds full and rich but also practise belt and you will eventually blend and be able to make choices as to whether to use head, mix or belt. BUT NEVER SHOUT! :- )
