Vocal Registers
Foundation voice modes every singer must master.
Techniques
Chest Voice
Your speaking register. Thick vocal folds, full closure.
Head Voice
Thinner folds, full closure. Rich resonance in upper range.
Falsetto
Folds don't fully close. Air leaks through. Light and airy.
Mixed Voice
Blend of chest power and head range. The holy grail.
Vocal Fry
Lowest register. Folds are loose and "bubbling."
Whistle Register
Highest possible register. Folds vibrate only at edges.
