Week 12: The Myth of Head & Chest Voices

Dealing with the Myth & HUGE confusion concerning Head & Chest Voices this week. This is misleading/misguided nonsense from Teachers!   
1. For years, many Teachers have confused their students by referring to Head & Chest as 'Voices', creating lasting problems for many Singers.
2. We do NOT have a Head Voice & a Chest Voice! We have ONE Voice & it's called a Larynx, together with a resonating system.
3. What ALL Singers & their Teachers should be referring to is Head RESONANCE & Chest RESONANCE! And we need to maintain a balance of both.
4. I hear too many female voices which are in 'bits'! Most commonly a stronger lower range disappearing into thin & airy above the transition! 
5. STOP talking Head & Chest VOICES & use well-informed exercises to blend the resonances throughout the voice to create ONE balanced Voice!
