Singing Series Part 2: Navigating Your Range & Registers

The goal of this lesson is to get acquainted with accessing the different registers within your range.

Have you ever said “I can’t sing high notes”?

If so, you’re so not alone! (This is seriously one of the most common things voice students say in their very first lesson.)

My response?

It’s not that you can’t sing them. It’s that you haven’t learned how to access them yet.

In this episode, we’re going to do just that! By the end of it, you’ll have easy exercises to feel your low (chest), middle (mix), and high (head) registers when you sing. Feeling your registers is one of the key foundations to understanding how your voice works!

WE COVER:

  • the difference between range and registers

  • why you crack on certain notes

  • how to feel/sing in your low voice

  • the most important thing you need to sing in your high voice

  • why your middle voice is the most common AND trickiest to sing in

  • 3 words to help you find each of these registers in your voice

  • a fun singing assignment to practice on your own
