So far, I haven’t run across very many people who can belt the sustained “on” on the Eb5, even though this is what Idina is doing.
LET IT GO SING ALONG HOW TO
Try sounding like a bratty kid if you aren’t sure how to create twang.
Regardless of where you pivot, try to stay as twangy as possible on the head tones so that they’re easier to weave in with the chestier parts. Play around with pivoting from chestmix to head voice on different words until you find what works for you. Unless you’re able to effectively belt “past” in the bridge (it’s really tough to sustain a C#5 without excessive throat tension, and there aren’t really any quick fixes for this), you’ll to have to find a decent place to transition into head tones. Try “guhn-to,” keeping your jaw as relaxed as possible on the “uh.” Trying to jam all the sounds into one extended syllable isn’t going to be easy. “Going to say” is probably the toughest of the bunch. Try really emphasizing the “EE” vowel to make the sound bright and forward. If you’re going to attempt a strong head voice that connects well with the belt sound on “here,” the “EE” is actually perfect, since it’s a headier vowel. If belting it doesn’t sound like a massive stretch for you, and you think you’ll be able to do it without tension, try opening the “EE” sound slightly, so you’re almost saying “hair.” That’ll lead you back toward the “A” vowel. The fix for “here” depends on whether you’re going to attempt a belt mix or you’re going to go into head voice. “A” is a very chesty-sounding vowel, so whether you’re belting this word or just want to sound like you’re belting, modifying toward the “A” vowel is helpful. For “I don’t care,” try dumping the diphthong in the “I” and make it into an “a” (as in “cat”). Quick Fixes: The Air is Thinner Way Up Here!
