THE MALE VOICE




By: Terrell Foster-James
FOUR DIFFERENT PARTS TO
     THE MALE VOICE!
The male voice has a total of       The top two parts,
four different registers, to each   Countertenor and Tenor
of which pertains to a certain      extends in a range of C3 to F5.
general range. These four “voice
parts” include:                     The two lower parts, Baritone
                                    and Bass extends in a range of
1.Countertenor                      C2 to F4.

2. Tenor

3. Baritone

4. Bass
What does that even mean?

Basically, the Bass is considered the lower part of the male
voice, going all the way to the Countertenor part, which is
the highest, and actually a rare vocal part for MOST men.
The Countertenor is mainly done in the Falsetto which any
man can develop, however, a Countertenor does not only
use Falsetto to express range. There is also another section
of the voice which is before Falsetto, and that mainly helps
with the TRANSITION….
What Transition?!
What transition, you ask? Well, basically within all of the 4
vocal ranges, there are different modal registers within the
voice. The most commonly used one is the chest voice. The
chest voice is mainly the male’s most comfortable register
and is around the same range as the male’s regular
speaking voice….the next voice in between the chest and
falsetto would be called the Male Mixed Voice.
Most men use the mixed
                                        voice as an
  The Mixed Voice                       embellishment……Examp
                                        le:
The mixed voice is that part of your
voice that sits in between you chest
  and falsetto, as stated earlier. It
  mainly helps with the switch or
  TRANSITION between the two
                voices.
BREATHING COMES FIRST!!!
Now, before we even get to the details of mixed voice, you
music learn proper techniques for breathing and
SUPPORTING your air.

When inhaling, your whole abdominal area should expand,
and vice versa for exhaling.

The image on the next slide shows the correct air flow
when breathing:

      DIAGRAM:
VOCAL TECHNIQUES #1
Now, once you finally mastered the breathing technique
you are ready to try one of the warm ups for the mixed
voice.

This first warm up are simply sighs, starting from the
highest point of your range all the way down.

With this, make sure that your transition between each
modal register is as less obvious as possible!

THAT IS KEY 
VOCAL TECHNIQUES #2
This warm-up is another short thing that you should do to
improved your mixed voice. This technique should be
practiced at least twice a day.

It is pretty similar to the sighs, but I like to call them
“mixed sirens”, because they have a siren-like sound.

Make sure it is all in one breath when you do it, like so:
VOCAL TECHNIQUES #3
Now the final technique I will demonstrate for you today
are the famous Lip Trills!

Lip Trills helps formulate a stronger respiration system, as
well as works on developing more of a resonant sound.

I recommend working on Lip Trills every day.
LESSON COMPLETE!
Well, we made it. Remember all we talked about with the
proper breathing technique, as well as, working on the high
sirens, and lip trills.

Do these things repetitively, and you notice great results in
your voice earning you a well and developed……
MIXED VOICE!!!!
Thanks again!
