Singers:Can anyone give me some good scales to use for smoothing out the break areas?

Question

I sing Metal and I am a high baritone/tenor.

Answer 1

it doesn't depend on what you sing, merely how you sing it...
no kidding, but when you approach your register break area ( known as passagio to us classical singers) you need to remember some important facts. The first is, you need more breath support for those higher tones. this is a fact of life, and no singer gets around it. Second, no healthy voice goes into the high register with the same mass of sound. The vocal cords thin out and elongate, the larynx components tip down and forward, the sound gets higher. Don't push on it to make it fatter. You're just forcing, and you'll tighten up. That doesn't mean that you MUST switch into falsetto, but you need to train your middle voice, note by note, to stay full.
Third fact of life, higher notes need more resonation room. You need to open up at the back of your mouth, as well as the front ( where we all see it happening). this is a feeling much like the beginning of a yawn, but only the beginning. This is a coordination factor, how much is just right, how much is not enough. You will find that if you coordinate these three things slowly together, your pharynx and mouth will gradually open as you proceed higher, while your energy and intensity level around your waistline will increase. This takes time, patience, and a good teacher.
You do have a teacher?
to work on the lower register, you will gradually reduce all that space you've created up top, so you get to the feeling that you have just enough space at the back and the front of your mouth as you would for speaking purposes. For really low stuff, you'll want to think of the sound as very slender out in front of you. It may feel thin and wobbly, but, as every voice has its limits, this is the best way to keep it focused and projected.
