Part 5/7:
Weak Chest Voice: If students find their lower pitches lacking power, vocal exercises that resemble speaking on pitch can be incredibly effective. Engaging sounds, like mimicking a child’s tone, can strengthen this area.
Straining for High Notes: Often, singers shout or strain when reaching for higher notes. Camille introduces the concept of finding a "head voice," which offers an alternative, healthier method for accessing those pitches.
Flipping into Head Voice: Cracking when trying to hit high notes can be frustrating. Here, Camille integrates bratty or pouty sounds in her exercises to help students develop strength and prevent shouty singing.
