One of the biggest differences between vocal coaching and actual voice training is understanding how to sequence the mechanics of the voice. For example: I generally do not start singers by immediately pushing them into M2, head voice, or "falsetto". We begin gently in M1—the coordination most closely related to everyday speaking. Why? Because before asking the voice to stretch, lighten, mix, belt, or perform repertoire, I want the instrument organized. A simple starting warmup can be: ✓ Begin near your speaking pitch ✓ Use a lip trill, hum, or straw ✓ Move through an easy five-note pattern ✓ Keep the sound light but connected ✓ Expand gradually from there This isn't about making chest voice heavy. It's about establishing a reliable foundation before increasing the technical demand. There are a lot of talented vocal coaches who are excellent at style and performance. But training vocal function is a different skill set, and singers benefit from knowing the difference.

I'm Corinne Bach, voice teacher and founder of Bach School of Voice. Here's a vocal concept every singer should understand. Your vocal folds create the initial sound, but they don't create your full singing tone by themselves. Air pressure causes the folds to open and close rapidly. That creates a raw, buzzy sound. Then your throat, mouth, and nasal passages shape and amplify that sound. That's resonance. It's a big reason two singers can sing the same note and sound completely different. It's also why having healthy vocal folds isn't the whole picture. If you're not using your resonating spaces well, your voice can still sound small or thin. When you work on resonance, you're learning how to use more of the instrument you already have. 🎤 Singers 12+: Join free at https://www.skool.com/voice or upgrade to premium for $9/month (limited time) and get access to streaming selected private voice lessons with BSOV faculty. 👨‍👩‍👧 Parents of singers 4 to 11: Join KidSing Academy free at https://www.skool.com/kidsing-academy-8692 or upgrade to premium for $9/month (limited time).
