There are many common misconceptions about the head voice. First, is it a register that originates in your head? The head voice and other vocal registers come from the same place and it is not your head!
Vocal registers come from vocal folds. At the sides of the vocal folds vibrations create the resonance that is felt high in the head - the head voice.
An additional misunderstanding is that the head voice is for female singers only. While the head voice is a need for all female singers it is also important for male singers.
The head voice in male singers doesn't sound as similar as the one in female singers.
Learning to use your head voice is an important part of developing your vocal scale. You may believe you cannot hit high notes or, high notes are out of your range. This is usually the result of singing pop music that has a rigid range.
Learning to use your head voice gives you the chance to expand your repertoire. It is a technique that you must practice.
For some genres the head voice is a must - classical singers have to be able to access their head voice. The soprano, the mezzo, and the contralto all have to use their head voice each time they sing.
Here are some tips on discovering your head voice:
*Imitate a bird. Make the 'hoot-hoot' sound of the owl or the 'cuckoo' sound of the cuckoo bird. As you make the sound softly exhale two high sounds. They can be any pitch. Observe how the exhalations feel.
*With this next exercise you will sing 'la,la,la'. First, sing the sounds on A/F/ and G below middle C. Sing these in your regular voice.
*Sing the letter 'N' while making your mouth sealed. Consequently, put your hand over your nostrils. You can really feel the vibration on your nostrils.
*Imagine you are smiling as you reach for high notes. This will help you access your head voice.
*The most important idea is practice. The head voice can only be learned with continuous practice. Do not pressure your voice by attempting to reach notes outside your range.
Slowly work your way up the scale and experience you're the resonance of your head voice with practice.
