🎤 Understanding Singing Terminology: What Is Head Voice?
If you’ve ever had a singing lesson, you’ve probably heard the term “head voice.” But what does it actually mean?
Despite the name, you’re not singing from your head! 🧠🎶
Head voice is a vocal register that allows you to sing higher notes with a lighter, more connected sound than your chest voice. Many singers describe feeling vibrations around their face or head, which is where the name comes from.
✨ Head voice is great for:
🎵 Singing higher notes without straining.
🎵 Creating a smooth transition between low and high notes.
🎵 Building flexibility and control in your voice.
It’s different from falsetto, as head voice still allows the vocal folds to come together more fully, producing a stronger, more connected sound.
At Do-Re-Mi Singing, we’ll help you understand these terms in a simple, practical way so you know not only what they mean, but how to use them in your own singing.
