There are many common wrong beliefs about the head voice. First, is it a register that originates in your head? The head voice and all other vocal registers come from constant place and it is not your head!

Vocal registers come from vocal folds. At the edges of the vocal folds vibrations create the vibrancy that is felt high in the head – the head voice.

One more misunderstanding is that the head voice is for female singers only. While the head voice is a need for all female singers it is also significant for male singers.

The head voice in male singers doesn’t seem the same as the one in female singers.

Learning to use your head voice is a significant part of developing your vocal range. You may think you cannot hit high notes or, high notes are out of your range. This is often the result of singing pop music that has a limited range.

Learning to use your head voice gives you the chance to broaden your collection. It is a process that you must practice.

For some genres the head voice is a must – classical singers have to be sure to access their head voice. The soprano, the mezzo, and the contralto all have to make use of their head voice each time they sing.

Here are some tips on discovering your head voice:

*Imitate a bird. Make the ‘hoot-hoot’ sound of the owl or the ‘cuckoo’ sound of the cuckoo bird. As you make the sound softly exhale two high sounds. They may be any pitch. Notice how the exhalations feel.

*With this next exercise you will sing ‘la,la,la’. First, sing the sounds on A/F/ and G below middle C. Sing these in your regular voice.

*Sing the letter ‘N’ while keeping your mouth sealed. At the same time put your hand over your nostrils. You can actually feel the vibration on your nostrils.

*Imagine you are smiling as you reach for high notes. This will help you enjoy your head voice.

*The most necessary idea is practice. The head voice can only be mastered with continuous practice. Do not pressure your voice by attempting to reach notes outside your scale.

Slowly work your way up the scale and experience you’re the resonance of your head voice with practice.
