And a small side note (because I'm asked a lot): It is important to note that while I hold a doctorate (thus I am Dr Dan), I am not a medical doctor, and the advice provided in this video is generalised information only. Therefore you should always consult with your licensed health care professional for personalised advice about your vocal health and well-being. #DrDan

Love Melissa Forbes. She is an inspiration!

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

I totally agree. I spent time on my falsetto with the highly underrated "oo" vowel and "ee" and exercised them top down and allowed them to overlap chest voice notes. it was one of the best things I ever did.

This is great. Thanks Dan and Mel.
