Subject:  Head to Chest transition.

Diane and Mary Beth.. I'm very interested in what you say
about carrying the head voice too low, thus causing a wobble.

You seem to be referring to a female voice but of course
I'm concerned that this may also apply to a male voice.

I have always used exercises to encourage an even scale
based on carrying the head voice smoothly and lightly from
the absolute top of the register down to the bottom while
letting the transition to chest voice occur where it will and as
smoothly as possible. I usually reverse this exercise in one
breath and return to the top with the same result.

My concern is that perhaps there is something wrong with
this in that I may be doing exactly as you say, carrying the
head voice too low. If this is so, then how do I go about
developing a "proper" chest voice. Ta. Reg.
