Fighting with Roosters

Your singing is going pretty well, and that's great. It's excellent for a start.

From what I understand, your voice lacks consistency between the chest register and the head register. Between these two registers, there's a small switch that throws you off the quality you have at the bottom, or at the top. You feel like you're losing the same tone, and it's hard for you to maintain the sound of your voice in both registers.

I would recommend working on the connection between the registers, building a balance between them, and maintaining cooperation between the muscles that stretch the voice and the muscles that constrict the voice, so that you feel your voice working with the same quality and ease whether it's at the bottom, in the middle, or at the top.

Here are some tips for now:

• Passaggio is not an abyss: The moment your voice cracks is a signal that your body doesn't know how to shift into a higher gear. It tries to "drive in first gear" at 100 km/h.
• Unstable foundation: Your "cracks" are often the result of suddenly releasing support in the middle of a sound or abruptly adding air.
• Mix is the golden mean: You don't have to choose between a "thick" bottom and a "thin," squeaky top. There's something in between that connects both these worlds.
• Foundations ahead: We will learn to "smooth out" these thresholds, but for your voice to be like one long highway, we need to build a solid, stable mechanism.
