What it teaches

Chest voice is the voice you speak in: the low and middle notes that buzz a little in your chest. Sing it the way you'd say it.

Say it first. Then sing it on the same notes

Talking volume. Like chatting to a friend

Nothing to push. Low notes don't need to be loud

What you sing

  1. Hear it, then sing it back, the way you'd say it.
  2. Hold a low, easy note on "ah", at talking volume.

Singing safely

Voices that are still breaking should wait. Sing only as high and low as is easy, keep the top light and quiet, never drag a heavy sound up past your break, and stop if anything tightens, tickles or hurts.
