I've been singing for YEARS and I've never really understood this but was too embarrassed to ask teachers about it, but your explanation makes so much sense and I feel much more confident now, so thank you :)
Watching this video an ad appeared and it was those paying training, 30 days singers, saying that singers on RUclips arent helping, theres no training plans and what the teach us arent real vocal lessons. I just want to say that every singer RUclipsrs out there who are making these videos for FREE for us are doing a better job than any paying trainings could! Keep up the good work and your videos are super helpful, do not give up, your work isnt in vain. Thank you for all the time you guys put into these and making it simple and understandable!!
This is eye-opening. Two years of lessons as a teenager just left me confused about what I should do with my chest voice. I was left with the impression that I am supposed to use my chest voice to sing the high notes in the range of the head voice. After 40, I started singing again. Well, this short video does a better job of explaining the basics than all of my teachers combined (I had three).
as a music producer, sound engineer and aspiring artist i never liked my voice until i just started to really push myself to make songs (finally) got all the equipment. I never understood what "head voice" meant until one day I was singing llke "whoooo" then I noticed when I was trying to sustain the notes and resonance? I was hearing it in my ears like ringing almost then it clicked. Now I can really feel my voice in my chest, throat, nose and head.
I really appreciate the more scientific approach to teaching this, and how consistent you are with your nomenclature!! I only got one semester of vocal training in my music education program (part of being an instrumentalist, I guess), and your videos are really helping to refresh and expand that knowledge! Thank you so much for taking the time to make all these videos.
Just a note to the guys!: Us dudes have Chest Voice, Head Voice and Falsetto - Dont get Head Voice and Falsetto confused they are very much different! Head Voice is Connected while Falsetto is Disconnected. This means, while singing in Chest or Head Voice the vocal cords are connected! When you sing in Falsetto the vocal cords are disconnected which is why you get the cracking or breaking its the chords disconnecting. You CAN connect your Chest Voice to your Head Voice without breaking or cracking with training. The keyword to always remember is "resonance" Chest voice is so called because the majority of the resonance is in the chest! So in Head Voice the majority of the resonance is shifted to the head! The most important part that gets missed SO MUCH is Nasal Resonance!!! this is VERY IMPORTANT when trying to connect the 2. The ladies head voice is more like our falsetto ;0) Hope this helps you guys out.
@Michael No, they are not the same. The head voice has full vocal chord closure. Falsetto is very breathy, because the vocal chords are only partially closed.
Head voice can be powerful and operatic when pushed to its limit (for exemple opera soprano high notes). The falsetto appellation Is rather a soft, light way of using head voice (sometimes even adding some air in the voice, but not necessarily). However falsetto Is a tricky word, since not all singers have the same définition.
i have adhd and ive been singing since forever and ive never understood the concept of head or chest voice in any of the classes ive taken, you not only kept my focus on you throughout the entire video but you helped me understand it so easily
In 39 years of singing (and two years of mostly just crying), this is the single BEST explanation of what head & chest voice are and how they work. Like probably most people, I've used chest & head voice (distinct from falsetto) instinctively, just by listening to other singers and copying what I hear. But this is a great explanation. It goes into the science in ways I wish more vocal coaches would do, and the visuals are an especially great addition to the explanation. Thank you so much! Liked and subscribed.
As a teacher (comp sci) I commend you on your skills in breaking down the complicated stuff into small, understandable bits and communicating it beautifully. Congratulations and thanks, these videos have been helping me a lot!
Archive higher pitch and more feminine voice with this effective voice highlighting tea. High in Vitamin C, vitamin B12 and Thiamine. You should try, take two weeks to hear changes and helps your throat stay unhurt whilst practicing.
Honestly I’ve looked for so many how to sing videos and they weren’t that good but this page reall is helping I’m seing improvement on my voice. Thanks so much
This is the most comprehensive, specific walkthrough of chest, passagio, and head voices I’ve seen yet. This helps me so much. Thank you for educating me!
This is hands down the nest explanation of vocal registers I've seen. I keep getting pulling up my chest voice mixed with head voice and hit a massive wall when I'm practicing where I can't slip into head voice. There are also teachers who almost make you think belting in chest voice is head voice. I've actually never heard about the two muscles that control contraction and elongation of the vocal folds. It makes a lot more sense why the break is there. Thank you for making it easy.
I love how much detail you put into this. I like it less when teachers dumb things down to try to make them more generic for people...but I think as singers we really need to know our tool, and this helped me, personally!:) Thank you!

I have never been able to figure out what is meant by head voice and chest voice, but you just explained it so clearly and perfectly. Thank you! And thanks for the other video recommrndations.
I’m an instrumental musician primarily, but I do sing. I majored in music but never took vocal lessons. Next school year they’ve asked me to take over the chorus and I am so glad I found your videos. They have been incredibly helpful as a navigate applying my instrumental music knowledge to vocal!
OMG HI!! YOU’RE AMAZING!! This is EXACTLY the kind of channel I’ve been hunting for. Albeit casually but I’ve been hunting around for years tbh. You describe everything so well. 😍
Best vocal intro video evar. And I’m writing this comment only during the first advertisement I have been perplexed forever why my “break” varies depending on the the moment and also whether i am descending or ascending. Also the head/chest voice can venture into the lower/higher ranges of another voice, but i can’t work out how to do that consistently
Ronja, thank you so much for posting this! I used to sing very regularly when I was younger, but after many years of not using my singing voice, I have had a really tough time getting back into feeling comfortable again. These videos and YOUR CHANNEL is helping tremendously. Thank you. Thank you. Thank You!
Hi Ronja, wanna let you know that I'm coming back to your videos again and again throughout my singing journey, because they are _so_ good! I've probably watched this one 4 or 5 times by now, and everytime I go into it with a higher skill level than the last time (just from practising), but also witha new question in mind. And everytime the video helps me to connect what I've learned theoretically and practically up until that point. It then also gives me a new goal to work towards, and when I have achieved that, I'm gonna come back again for that "click" moment, until I can confidently say "I know all of this!" ;-D Thank you a thousand times for your work!

That all sounds nifty, but how do you SOUND? Are people gathering around you to hear your voice and your singing? If not, it doesn't matter how many B vitamins you're eating.
Thank you for explaining the whys and hows of our singing voices. I was ready to conclude that nobody really knew anything about what they were talking about until I came across your videos. Such a relief.
Excellent explanation! Thank you! Been singing-performing for 50 years, directed choir, coached singers, took some voice lessons, but never had the opportunity to learn and assimilate this! Thank you so much!
Bass-baritone here, my first passaggio on A3, second one on D4. Lowest to highest male voices can range as low as F3 and Bb3 for primo and secondo passaggio (some very low counterbass voices) up to F4 and Bb4 for the two passaggi (a very high tenore contraltino voice). Your video is wonderful, thank you.
Really nice video, there's soooo many RUclips channels now speaking about technique and explaining how voice works, with so many wrong concepts. Is really nice to find one with the right concepts, names and examples. Brava
You’re so amazing! I’m at a point in my life and singing journey that these kinda of in depth technical videos and visual examples of the vocal chords are very helpful to me. I wish I wasn’t so hard on my chords when I was younger, but it made me very interested in technique now that I am older and understand how intricate the voice really is!
That was a great explanation for an abstract concept because we can't see what is going on in the engineering, we somehow must learn to feel the change, and those changes are subtle, so the explanation and visuals give me an additional tool to hang onto to get a grip about, how, when, and where, head voice is in comparison to chest voice. Thanks!
I'm 34 years old and totally new to this subject. I decided to learn to sing, I love to sing and I've always been a disaster. I think I've already pissed off a lot of people. So I decided that I want to be able to sing without bothering people. Your didactics are great, and I can understand even without having heard about it! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with all of us!
An absolutely wonderful explanation of the mechanics of the vocal chords and associated muscles . That answered a lot of questions for me. Thank you so much for that.
youre the best singing instructor i have come across and i ve viewed most of them. its just so hard for me to stay focused on the singing lesson. my thoughts keep drifting and dreaming. but im working to overcome with every replay.
Thank you for actually explaining how the muscle together! A lot of teacher just say you have 2 sets if muscles that change for chest and head, so I'm left wondering to what extent the muscles should be used.
It was a mysterious area which I dare not to reach, not until I see your video which is so solid and practical! Thanks for sharing the knowledge and technique🙏👍. Now I am so excited to explore you treasures of video collection❤
I wish I could like this video 12 times.. this channel is everything! I've had no idea what I've been doing all my life and these explanations and exercises really help!
@@thebeesnyphs Lol I can't 😂 I live in a small flat and I live in South Africa. We pick fights for the smallest things and they will get upset if i make a noise 😕
I decided to learn how to sing and I've always been confused about head and chest voice but this video is so good and now I know the difference. Also, I found out that I'm so good and so comfortable at using head voice, it's insane
I already saw 4 videos I was always running away from videos explainin the vocal cords hhhh but it was very good explanation ❤️✨ thank uuuuu for this and u 're kind keep glowin up✨
I have the opposite problem, I am totally comfortable with my head voice, having sung as a soprano in choirs for years and years, BUT when it comes to my chest voice, THAT'S when things get difficult for me!! By the way, AMAZING English grammar and pronunciation, it took me a while to realize you were not American!!! 😍😍
Terrific explanation. I've been watching Fil of Wings of Pegasus and he uses the terms head voice and chest voice often, but without explaining them. His analysis is great, but I wanted to learn What is chest voice and head voice. You did that brilliantly. I am not actually a singer, tho I've sung in front of audiences (1500 people on a cruise ship). I'm more of a student of music. Learning about music and vocal technique enhances my enjoyment of listening to beautiful music (Carpenters, Olivia Newton-John, Elvis, Rod Stewart, Beatles, Hollies). Thank you for what you do. You just made an amazing contribution to my enjoyment of great vocal technique.
This is the second video Im watching on this channel, such a great channel. Thank you for making this content, going to continue to watch all your videos
This video is such a great breakdown, especially for explaining how the symbiotic relationship of the two fold muscles relates to singing. Got more out of these few minutes than 2 hours of singing lessons 🥹
Thank you so much for your clear & distinct explanation of chest voice & head voice. I’m a singer and I’ve been navigating my voice in a smooth way all my life, but never realized how I’ve been doing it until now. Thanks again!
I feel kinda stupid for saying this, but your explanation of the vocal folds and crico- and thyroaretenoids helps me appreciate why practicing vocal exercises is important. our voice is essentially a grouping of muscles, and we have to do work outs for those muscles to gain appropriate strength to bare the weight we want them to
Of all the videos I've found on vocal help, yours by far the best. You explain it in an absolutely non threatening manner and it's so understandable. Thank you
Thank you very much for making this video. I was not able to understand how vocal folds change when creating high pitch,low pitch, low volume and high volume in voice modulation with reference to anatomy. Scientific explanation really helped me imagine the vocal folds and Have more control over them when doing excercises
Soon as you said Apologize, I knew exactly what you were talking about, lol - it's one of my practice songs. Really appreciate the explanations - want to get more technical knowledge so I can get a better feel and idea of exactly what I'm doing, and how to improve.
Thank you for sharing! I teach vocal technique, and use some of the techniques you have described to get the ladies into their head voice. Your explanation is the best I have ever come across, and I'm going to adopt several of your ideas! Thanks once again!
FABULOUS video. I've always wondered about this and this is absolutely the first explanation of it I've ever heard. I've had vocal instruction from all manner of coaches, including highly qualified degreed people, and I've had various friends with degrees in voice and some amazing singers...all of those people throw those "head voice" "chest voice" terms around a lot but no one has ever explained it. I don't know much about my passagio range but I have practiced getting a smooth transition there. The most amazing thing I've ever discovered about my voice is that I can sing well up to my highest note, and I CAN NOT sing well one semitone higher than that. That note is my range and that's it, it has a hard stop there. To my amazement, that note is listed as the top note of a baritone's range. So I am a letter perfect textbook baritone singer.
Thank you so much. This explains why I tend to sing an octave lower to avoid those whispy sounding higher notes. Sometimes that lower octave is below my range.
Thanks,u made my day.But,can u make like test for chest and head voice ,if they are singing it right, or some wrong.It will be helpful for everyone who's here.pls,do this.i will be thankful for u whole life
Just came across your channel today. I definitely understand the Ingrid Michaelson pic for ladies to sing. I rely so much on my head voice. Definitely feel less comfortable in chest….
I'm loving geeking out with you! Lol. Great explaination. I like being able to see the science behind and it. Having a visual of what's going on with the anatomy really helps understand it all better.
Thanks for the information! I was searching for an anatomical explanation for the difference between the registers for a fairly long time and here I found it.
7:07 in and it’s a subscribe! Despite my family being musical, I’ve always taken myself as the “dancer” not the “singer”. I am now in my mid 30s and got inspired by my 7yr old daughter. I am learning to use my voice 🖤✨ and enjoy myself instead of dismissing/hiding it! Given my sci tech background I can really connect with your way of teaching vs other voice teachers/coaches out there who assume a level of knowledge and learning style that is really contrasting with mine. I appreciate you! 🙏✨
Excellent and very nice ❤. Thank You! I will exercise in my car in traffic, not to disturb anyone. I discovered my head voice very soon (singing Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Supertramp, ... songs), but I have always had problems with the gap. And of course I have never managed to sing with Ian Gillan those incredible highs in "Child in Time".
I loved to sing often, without any education about it, and in order to be quiet i used head voice to be quiet. I think i developed it amd falsetto well, and when i started having vocal lessons my teacher was surprised to hear my skills in falsetto as an absolute beginner
Haha this is so funny- This morning I was wondering if there would be a video (exactly like this) that really explains how find head voice and really explains what is happening in the throat. But I didn't know how to phrase it and what to search for (I'm not a singer). Sure enough, you're video game up on suggestions few minutes ago and it was EXACTLY what I was looking for 😆 Thank you so much!! Excited to see your other videos 😊 Just subbed 😁
Now all I need is to have a conversation with my 2 dogs to get ready for a performance for a week.
Ahaha same
Haha 😂 same here haha
😆
Not just one time conversation but seems one needs to build with them a lasting friendship.😂
Lol
You just seem like such a nice person
Hi Ella Murray, Aww this made me so happy to read. Thanks for taking the time to write it :) Have an awesome day!
she is really a nice person 😭❤️❤️
You are so calming and so nice
She’s secretly a demon waiting to drag us to hell..... I’m warning you. Better watch out for her,
She;s so awesome!
I've been singing for YEARS and I've never really understood this but was too embarrassed to ask teachers about it, but your explanation makes so much sense and I feel much more confident now, so thank you :)
Don't be afraid to ask, that's what teachers are for. You ask to learn what you don't know.
The bee gees used their head voices to sing
@@carrot7868 i haven't used my head voice for a very long time
Watching this video an ad appeared and it was those paying training, 30 days singers, saying that singers on RUclips arent helping, theres no training plans and what the teach us arent real vocal lessons.
I just want to say that every singer RUclipsrs out there who are making these videos for FREE for us are doing a better job than any paying trainings could! Keep up the good work and your videos are super helpful, do not give up, your work isnt in vain. Thank you for all the time you guys put into these and making it simple and understandable!!

I really appreciate the more scientific approach to teaching this, and how consistent you are with your nomenclature!!

Hope this helps you guys out.
Best way to go about it, us Men we have Sub- chest (sound Bass-like), Chest-voice, Mixed Voice and Falsetto...
Why do ppl have so many voices and what do u mean by connected and disconnected 😅 I’m so bad ugh
yeah what exactly do you mean by connected and disconnected? are u talking about vocal mass?
@Michael No, they are not the same. The head voice has full vocal chord closure. Falsetto is very breathy, because the vocal chords are only partially closed.
Head voice can be powerful and operatic when pushed to its limit (for exemple opera soprano high notes). The falsetto appellation Is rather a soft, light way of using head voice (sometimes even adding some air in the voice, but not necessarily).

This video is such a great breakdown, especially for explaining how the symbiotic relationship of the two fold muscles relates to singing. Got more out of these few minutes than 2 hours of singing lessons 🥹
Thank you so much for your clear & distinct explanation of chest voice & head voice. I’m a singer and I’ve been navigating my voice in a smooth way all my life, but never realized how I’ve been doing it until now. Thanks again!
I feel kinda stupid for saying this, but your explanation of the vocal folds and crico- and thyroaretenoids helps me appreciate why practicing vocal exercises is important. our voice is essentially a grouping of muscles, and we have to do work outs for those muscles to gain appropriate strength to bare the weight we want them to
Of all the videos I've found on vocal help, yours by far the best. You explain it in an absolutely non threatening manner and it's so understandable. Thank you
So interesting seeing a technical explanation of how head and chest actually work, thank you!
Thank you lady❤ what a nice useful post/vid👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Thank you very much for making this video. I was not able to understand how vocal folds change when creating high pitch,low pitch, low volume and high volume in voice modulation with reference to anatomy.
Scientific explanation really helped me imagine the vocal folds and Have more control over them when doing excercises
Soon as you said Apologize, I knew exactly what you were talking about, lol - it's one of my practice songs.
Really appreciate the explanations - want to get more technical knowledge so I can get a better feel and idea of exactly what I'm doing, and how to improve.
Thank you for sharing! I teach vocal technique, and use some of the techniques you have described to get the ladies into their head voice. Your explanation is the best I have ever come across, and I'm going to adopt several of your ideas! Thanks once again!
FABULOUS video. I've always wondered about this and this is absolutely the first explanation of it I've ever heard. I've had vocal instruction from all manner of coaches, including highly qualified degreed people, and I've had various friends with degrees in voice and some amazing singers...all of those people throw those "head voice" "chest voice" terms around a lot but no one has ever explained it. I don't know much about my passagio range but I have practiced getting a smooth transition there. The most amazing thing I've ever discovered about my voice is that I can sing well up to my highest note, and I CAN NOT sing well one semitone higher than that. That note is my range and that's it, it has a hard stop there. To my amazement, that note is listed as the top note of a baritone's range. So I am a letter perfect textbook baritone singer.
Thank you for sharing precious tips. You explained in very easy way.
Thank you so much. This explains why I tend to sing an octave lower to avoid those whispy sounding higher notes. Sometimes that lower octave is below my range.
You have an excellent way of teaching... After seeing one video, I just had to check out more... Thank you. 😊
The elastic explanation was perfect, cheers.
You are like the angel returning the stolen frequencies! What a lovely find!
Absolutely my favourite vocal instructor!! You make it look easy.
From the way I see, I think you are such a very nice person worth being a great teacher.
When I actually tried the “chest vibrating test”, I actually felt the vibration in my chest until I switched to my head voice
I didn't hehe ..maybe I'm doing it wrong I dunno
Excellent explanation of the anatomy! Thank you so much. Will try your exercises.
Thanks,u made my day.But,can u make like test for chest and head voice ,if they are singing it right, or some wrong.It will be helpful for everyone who's here.pls,do this.i will be thankful for u whole life
Thank you, I've been looking at "beginner singer warmup" videos and most of them use these terms without ever explaining them!!
I’m not a singer but this was very helpful in understanding how vocalists I listen to are singing :)
As soon as you said “I recommend apologize by onerepublic” I screamed. I went to one of their concerts and it was amazing. Love onerepublic
This is the most thorough explanation I've found on youtube. Thank you so much.
Also, you're pretty. Unrelated and not important...but still. :)
Just came across your channel today. I definitely understand the Ingrid Michaelson pic for ladies to sing. I rely so much on my head voice. Definitely feel less comfortable in chest….
I'm loving geeking out with you! Lol. Great explaination. I like being able to see the science behind and it. Having a visual of what's going on with the anatomy really helps understand it all better.
Thanks for the information! I was searching for an anatomical explanation for the difference between the registers for a fairly long time and here I found it.
Hi Jari Siponen, I'm so happy to hear that you found the information useful. Thank for letting me know, and I wish you happy singing :)
This description and demonstration with the rubber band was incredibly helpful! Really interesting as well!
7:07 in and it’s a subscribe! Despite my family being musical, I’ve always taken myself as the “dancer” not the “singer”. I am now in my mid 30s and got inspired by my 7yr old daughter. I am learning to use my voice 🖤✨ and enjoy myself instead of dismissing/hiding it! Given my sci tech background I can really connect with your way of teaching vs other voice teachers/coaches out there who assume a level of knowledge and learning style that is really contrasting with mine. I appreciate you! 🙏✨
I’ve seen so many breakdown of headchest video but this is the best.
Hello am Isaiah from Nigeria
Thank you very much I'm happy to be part of your link
Your ways of explaining is absolutely amazing. Thank you so much ❤
Thank you Krishna. I’m so happy to hear that you like it 😊
Excellent and very nice ❤. Thank You! I will exercise in my car in traffic, not to disturb anyone. I discovered my head voice very soon (singing Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Supertramp, ... songs), but I have always had problems with the gap. And of course I have never managed to sing with Ian Gillan those incredible highs in "Child in Time".
I like this video. You know what you are talking about, give good explanations - unlike others from yt. Congrats!
This is seamless awesome information. Job well done. 👏🏻 Love how you add good example to try out!
I had no idea such great lessons would be on RUclips!! Why haven’t I checked sooner
I loved to sing often, without any education about it, and in order to be quiet i used head voice to be quiet. I think i developed it amd falsetto well, and when i started having vocal lessons my teacher was surprised to hear my skills in falsetto as an absolute beginner
Whenever i see your videos i feel very happy 😊
Your the only vocal teacher thats direct unlike others.
Haha this is so funny- This morning I was wondering if there would be a video (exactly like this) that really explains how find head voice and really explains what is happening in the throat. But I didn't know how to phrase it and what to search for (I'm not a singer).
Sure enough, you're video game up on suggestions few minutes ago and it was EXACTLY what I was looking for 😆
Thank you so much!! Excited to see your other videos 😊
Just subbed 😁
Beautiful! Thanks so much for a concise and accurate description that everyone can understand.
