Just wondering how long it usually takes people to make progress in certain areas.
Bridging?
Connecting?
Getting a "chesty" sound in the head voice?
I'm not meaning significant progress, just some noticeable progress. I've been training with the Four Pillars for the past couple weeks and I've successfully bridged a handful of times. (You have no idea how excited/shocked i was when it happened). So i feel i'm making pretty good progress there. I can get a connected sound in head voice pretty easily when practicing. It's a little harder to maintain the connection when singing actual lyrics. But the last part is what really gets me. When singing phrases ranging from, let's say, C4-A4, I feel i can get in and out of my chest voice fairly decently, but while there's not a noticeable "break", it doesn't sound like the same voice at all. I'm definitely not expecting this to be a quick process by any means, but does anyone have any idea when i might notice my head voice starting to sound like my chest voice? And i don't necessarily mean my head voice sounding meaty, just more like my chest voice in general. (hope that makes sense!)
I've been trying to practice at least 4-5 days a week. I usually do the foundation building routine, then add some bonus scales and sirens afterwards to get more practice with my onsets (mainly Dampen&Release, Wind&Release, and Contract&Release) and bridging. When i get more comfortable with my bridging I plan to start working on the other exercises in the program.
