In this episode, I show you why and how you should PULL them instead of Push them, like most people do. See this episode on YouTube for video demonstrations of these exercises.

Weird Vocal Exercises That Blend Registers

In this episode I teach vocal exercises I designed using voiced consonants and vowels to help singers AND speakers blend their chest and head registers. Doing these exercises also helps you eliminate vocal breaks, add more resonance and range and ease vocal strain. These benefits occur as we take the voice across the passagio from chest to head voice while pulling and morphing the syllables. It's weird, but it works!
