"Hey! I am Mark Black and welcome to expertvillage.com. We are going to be talking about vocal performance. Also another way of conceiving of the two voices, the head voice and the chest voice is like gears and the head voice is obviously for high notes and the chest voice is for low notes and essentially you have to have ridden a bike or driven a car with standard transmission to get this, but a low note in your head voice is going to be a relaxed sound. A high note – here’s your chest voice, your low voice. The high note in your chest voice is going to be an aggressive sound, but that might be the same note. What I am trying to show here is your chest voice, head voice, high voice, chest voice, low voice and the notes that are kind of in the middle here are notes that – well it kind of depends on what they need to be. If they need to be an aggressive note, then you sing them as a high, chest voice note. If they need to be a relaxed note or calm note, then they need to be sung as a low head voice note that is something that you should note, now again don’t do that unless you have a pretty strong problem with the register issues head and chest voice and at the end that will be the way to approach it, that you are figuring out what to do and the more that you do those exercises – the half-steps coming across - and ponder on how you are going to do this, the more you sing it will come natural and the issues don’t come up as much.

on 8/2/2008 Hello Mr. Black, could you post a lesson about the difference between falsetto and head voices?

on 8/2/2008 a lot of pop/rock singers i hear like adam levine from maroon 5 sing with very high chest voices, i want to know if it is possible to achieve that from appregios lesson, or is there a way that he made his head voice sound stronger like a chest voice?
