THE LIBERATED VOICE PRESENTS
A FREE WEBINAR
An overview of the biomechanics—how your vocal anatomy varies the weight of production
Exercises to improve your skill at registration
Guidelines for varying your registration to suit different musical styles
The head voice/chest voice concept dates from an era when we knew relatively little about vocal anatomy and function. Modulating your vocal weight seamlessly from bottom to top is a lot easier when you understand registration as a continuum rather than two or more distinct options with transitions that need to be masked.
