Guest Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 This may seem like a stupid question. However, I shall ask anyway. I can feel my lower notes shake my chest, I can feel my middle notes shake my nose/mouth. I don't know where my headynotes go LOL. It feels like the resonance is higher than pharyngeal almost inbetween my eyes. Where should I be feeling connected head tones ? Sometimes I can feel it all the way up to my forehead and even back of the neck. What should I visualize and feel when I want the power of head voice to flourish and RING to the audience?

ronws Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 You've answered your own question. In fact, that is how the terms came to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Fraser Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 You've answered your own question. In fact, that is how the terms came to be. JayMC: I agree entirely with ronws. The rest of making it 'ring' is fine-tuning the vowel pronunciation so that the harmonics align with the formants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDEW Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Basically what he is saying is you have to hold your mouth right. The size and shape of the cavities of the mouth, throat and nose determines the resonance. So you will get a different resonance if you flare your nostrils or puff your cheeks or move your jaw forward or backward or hold your tongue flat or grooved. You have to play around a little to find the right combonation for you. Because we all haved skulls of a different shape what works for one may not work for another.

VideoHere Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 but it still needs to be worked, improved, and strengthened so that it can overlap and mix with your chest voice musculature. head voice can become so strong and well mixed as to indistinguishable from high chest.

MDEW Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I wrote that in a hurry. (had an appointment) We can be guided to basic vowel shapes but the fine tuning is something that we have to discover for ourselves with practice, training and experimenting. WE may also need someone elses ears to tell us when we are doing things right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
