Light, delicate, thin. Full-bodied, meaty, strong.
These are the words my students reach for when I ask them to describe the different qualities of their vocal registers. And they're spot on.
Most people can recognise these textures. But not so many singers know how to control them, and use them purposefully.
You might know them as head voice and chest voice. And in a certain section of your range, there's a whole zone of notes where YOU get to choose which one you use.
Take one note in that range... you can give it a light, delicate sound, or a thick, powerful one. It's the same note, and you can make it sound different deliberately ✨
You can sing a line tenderly one time, then bold and defiant the next. It's one way you can paint your song with different emotional colours, and really express what it means. It takes your listener on a deeper journey through the story of the song. 🎨
There's a lot more to it, so I've written it all up in a new blog post for you, with examples to try at the piano and a video where I demonstrate each sound.

Then have a go, and see if you can find your own transition zone, where your voice switches from light to full.
Where does yours sit?
I'd love to know. 🎶
