UNDERSTANDING YOUR VOICE

 UNDERSTANDING YOUR VOICE

Discovering your voice type is the first—and most important—step in figuring out what your voice is capable of and how much you can improve it. So, how do you go about doing it? 

Range - Your range determines your fundamental vocal category. It's a measure of the notes you can comfortably hit without straining your voice. Check online for guides on how best to assess your vocal range. There are many apps and articles with step-by-step instructions on how to self-assess. 

Transitions - Transitions mark your facility for switching between your head voice and your chest voice and vice versa. It illustrates your skill in changing notes and moving along the scale to a different form of singing. 

 

Vocal Registers - Transition determines where your register's breaking point is. Once you've figured that out, go back and determine how much of your range is in each scale between your chest voice and your head voice. 

 

Weight - Weight is a difficult thing to measure. Think of it as the character of a voice. Some people have a deeper, fuller sound within their classification, while others may sound lighter and more versatile.

 Age/experience - If you've heard children sing, you know that there is a vast difference between the same notes sung by a child and a 50-year-old. For one thing, your voice isn't fully mature until you reach a certain age, and from that point, different experiences affect your vocal cords.

Size - In one sense, 'size' includes volume. It's a measure of dramatic intensity, which incorporates power. So, this is a measure of how much volume and intensity you sing with comfortably (not while straining). 

Speech Level - This measures your fundamental speech level or the typical notes you use when speaking. There is even a school of thought that suggests that you should insist on singing within your average speech level to create the best tones. 

Timbre - Timbre is a complicated concept similar to color tones. Think of the color pink, then think of hot pink versus cool pink. You know they're different, and yet they're both pink. Timbre seeks to explain the different characteristics between two identical notes. It's a measure of precise technique and minuscule physiological changes in sound production. 

Physical qualities - Your build and general physical attributes affect the character of your voice through distinct, almost imperceptible ways.

Reporting for various Mass Media
