Baritone Bass
Bass-baritone stuck in mixed voice - How can I transition into pure head voice?
My vocal teacher has really helped me develop my mixed voice. However, we've tried quite a few exercises to get my head resonating to no avail. I can feel a very mild buzzing when I bring my voice forward, and sometimes very mild vibrations on the tip of my nose, but it's never more than that.
Any recommendations or advice?
Thanks in advance!
I can only guess from your description of going into pure head voice is not the easing of your voice into falsetto but what some refer to as a 'covered' tone instead? I'm a bass-baritone myself. My voice teacher had me bend forward at the waist while singing notes continuously in my upper register--middle C, D, E, F, G, A--until something physically clicked or buzzed around and inside the bridge of my nose and I was singing with a 'covered' tone, all of which took me a very long time to achieve. You are heading in the right direction, feeling some mild vibrations on the tip of your nose. Keep at it, and good luck!
