HEAD VOICE OR CHEST VOICE
CAN YOU TELL THE DIFFERENCE?
- The difference between the “head”
and “chest” voices is that the “head” voice
allows you to carry those exciting and dynamic high notes.
- Don’t get it confused with “falsetto”,
there is a difference.
- The chest voice is the root of the sound, or
the place where the sound begins.
- To get a smooth seamless voice both must work
together
How do the “HEAD” and the “CHEST”
voices work together?
The key is in the transition!
This transition is important as well as tricky. The difficulty
is that you must become comfortable with the combination of sounds.

The
“chest” voice is the lowest part of your vocal range.
When singing in this range you will feel a strong vibrating sensation
in your chest, throat and mouth. This sensation is a result of
the vocal cords vibrating along their full length. At this point
your vocal cords are long and thick and all the resonance seems
to be bouncing off the hard pallet and out of your mouth.
Transition:
The transition is the area of bridge in
the voice where the sound becomes less intense as you go from
the chest voice to the head voice. As the singer approaches this
point, and his/her coordination is not yet correct, they may feel
a tightening in the throat resulting in a involuntary increase
in volume. In turn the vowel that is being sung is altered and
the voice eventually cracks.
If your coordination is correct and your larynx is stable, as
you ascend in pitch, the vibrating sensation (or resonance) of
your voice seems to pull in behind your sinuses (or soft pallet).
This is your first transition area, which is also referred to
as your bridge, passagi or passage.

The
“head” voice is the highest point of your vocal range.
When singing in this range the sensation is felt in your head
or above the vocal cords. As you ascend in pitch you will feel
the resonance sensation of your voice has left or released most
of the weight of the chest voice and is now safely behind the
soft pallet. Be careful in this range, though “falsetto”
and “head” voice, in this range, share the same resonators,
they are quite different.
