Description:
What is head voice? Head voice or falsetto is a register of the voice, meaning the vocal folds function in a specific way, and there’s an accompanying tone quality and resonance strategy that results. In head voice, your vocal folds are stretched long and thin, because that’s how they create higher pitches. The tone quality is inherently lighter and brighter then chest voice, and without training, it’s usually breathier.
This lesson will be in three parts. In part one, we’ll use a few different sounds to find your head voice function. In part two, I’ll teach you my favorite head voice warm ups, which you can use daily, or a few times a week. And in part three, we’ll practice incorporating head voice with other registers.
