  1. As far as Im aware I have a pretty average chest voice range. the highest I can sing are the likes of fear of the dark by iron maiden.

    Recently I went to see Testament live and understandably I was getting pretty into it. When the singer was saying the typical “are you guys ready” sort of stuff I yelled back “f*ck yeah!” as you do. 

    Somehow I accidentally yelled extremely high and loud (enough for me to hear myself) and I somehow hit this really high note that I have never been able to deliberatly do. Im talking like the trooper and hallowed be thy name range which is really high for me.

    Its funny because the exact same thing happened to me when I seen Diamond Head live too. 

     

    Im wondering what made me able to do this so that I can start meaning to do it. Was it just because I was so in the moment and put so much effort into the shout? Or is this not possible? I dont think ive ever tried putting that much effort into singing before due to fear of injury so im wondering if this is what “belting” is?

    Anything above E4, for a man, is head voice. Do you mean connected to TA muscles (chest voice musculature)? I've never heard him sing without that connection, in a solid mixed resonance. Train with someone that knows how to get you this sound, like in The Four Pillars of Singing.

    So you’re saying that Bruce Dickinson just has a very strong head voice to the point that it sounds just as loud as chest? Im not 100% sure on the different registers but am I correct in thinking this? 

     

    Thanks for the reply btw :)

  3. Hi all. I think I’ve posted this in the right place. 

     

    I have a question about Bruce Dickinson’s modern day vocal technique. In these clips below (at about the 2:05 and 1:52 mark) do you think that Bruce is singing in head voice or chest voice?

    Im asking because in the original recording and early 80s live performances he sounds much more powerfull (obviously down to age) and less airy. 

     

     

     

    The chorus of this is another good example of what I mean. (1:15)

     

     

    Im hoping that if so, I will be able to use my head voice so sing these, and with enough practice it would hopefully sound powerfull enough to still sound semi decent since I dont have the natural range that Bruce seemed to have in the 80s and 90s. 

     

    Thanks, Keir.
