hi jesse, im really glad youve posted here as its really cleared up
some things i wanted to know (i.e. its possible to have a full high
sound after the passagio)the thing i really want to know is how to
acheive the mix, that is how do i get that chest sound into my head
voice. i think the thing i tend to do now is either go from chest to
falsetto or go from chest to a pure head voice that doesnt contain
the bottom undertones of a chesty full sound. i have had one teacher
say im a baritone another say i could possibly be a bass baritone
and the last i had said i could possible be a baritone stroke tenor.
to tell the truth i dont care what i am i just want to carry a
connected full sound throughout my range. i know its hard to give
advice without hearing my voice but i will describe my registers . i
can sing 2 G's below middle C some F# is also possible too but
probably the easiest note to produce is the A just above the bottom
G. my chest voice then goes up to around D/Eb above middle C some E
and F is possible but its straining a little bit. then im not sure
if im going into falsetto or whether its head voice( though i would
think its a head voice when ive acheived to smoothe the break a
little)if i sing the E or F above middle C now it sounds weak. when
i get to around the G or A its stronger, this goes up to around the
C above middle C though some D is possible but it feels a little bit
of a different sensation.after this i would consider that im going
into a reinforced falsetto which goes from the E above middle C up
to the A but im really pushing the air at that point to get the A.
what i would like to know is 1. how do i get into the mix sound (not
pure head voice or falsetto) and 2. how high can i take that
connected sound ( would it be possible to take it all the way to the
high E for instance). it would be alot easier to indicate what sort
of sounds im talking about by comparing them to singers such as Rob
Halford (judas priest), King Diamond, or Geoff Tate (queensryche)
but im guessing you dont know those bands as there probably not your
sorta thing! haha!
if you could give me any advice that would be great,
cheers.
