SLS students.

Not bad Keith :) I think I like the chinese one better. Both the recording quality and technique sound better.

Are you taking sls lessons currently?

Here's something I want to ask you guys about:

http://dynamicdiscord.com/BrianStuff/BrianSinging/2009_04_07_Narrow.mp3

This is me singing over the range G3 to C4 (middle C). Notice how I have to narrow at the B3 though? If i don't narrow there, I will pull for sure.

So my question is - what is the point at which your "speaking chest voice" ends, and you need to narrow in order to keep your larynx stable?

The reason I ask is that I hear a lot of people saying they need to change at D4, yet I need to do it at B3. My dad is also similar - both of us used to strain like crazy just to reach the middle C, while others seem to have it within their speaking range. So I do wonder if it is genetic :)
 
btherl,

i think different vowels will have different "transition" points. i've had days when i had to start mixing at b3 too with "ooo". and perhaps it might be better to think not of it as where the chest voice ends but when your head voice starts to enter the mix because the chest is still there just less.
 
Yep I get that about the different vowels. So my question really should be "where do you transition on mum?"

These days I think of the transition as the "pull or narrow" point. It's that spot where I either have to pull chest or start narrowing. There simply is no "plain old chest" beyond that point. I think of it as "chest with narrowing", which is likely the same as the "chest with head" you're talking about.
