= = Identify the chest voice by strong notes in the lower register. The chest voice is mentally and literally felt in the chest and carries a strong timbre quality. The sound is confident and pronounced. Distinguish a head voice by the lilting quality of the higher register. The notes will be in the upper middle and upper range and generally have less force and a gentler sound. Study the mechanics of singing to understand the physical difference between head and chest voice. The chest voice literally resonates in the chest and vocal mask, or face. The head voice moves up into the nasal cavity and the vibration moves up into the forehead. A soft, open back of the throat is associated with a head voice while a bright, forward resonance that vibrates the lips is associated with a chest sound. Find your break between the chest and head voice by practicing scales. When you feel the vibration move from your chest up into your head that is your break. Train to blend the head and chest voice at the break to decrease the obvious difference that can be heard in most untrained voices. Look for differences of head and chest voice in popular music. Bing Crosby []) has a classic head voice quality, while an Ethel Merman sound [|(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icr71H1nb3Q]) is definitely more chest voice. >>> >>>
 * 1) Getting started
 * To see if you even have the //potential//, you must be able to do the following:
 * Think about ways a teenager reacts when you ask him/her to do something they DO NOT want to do.
 * One reaction might be a sound something like an alternating high-pitched/low-pitched repetition of //"uh!//"
 * Repeat this quickly: "UH uh UH uh UH uh UH uh UH uh UH uh UH uh UH uh UH uh!" (UH = high pitch, uh = low pitch). You may notice something weird in doing this. If you are a natural, and it there seems to be a "break" in the note, you have found the trick to switching from your "chest voice" to your "head voice."
 * If you can't do this, continue with these remaining steps. People who have some vocal music training will naturally find this to be easier than the ordinary joe (or josephine). You will need to know how to find your "head voice" and be able to switch from your head voice to your natural "chest voice." Here's how to do this:
