Unstable Mixed Voice?
Apr 14, 2025How to Soften Your Voice Without Losing Power
The Common Mistake
Most singers, when trying to soften their voice, simply lower the volume. But when you do this, your voice collapses into an airy, unstable falsetto. You might try smoothing out the transition between falsetto and chest voice, but that still leaves you with a weak and unstable sound when singing high.
The Right Way to Soften Your Voice
Instead of just backing off the volume, you need to soften your voice while keeping it solid.
- Start with a strong, connected sound. ("Hey!")
- Lighten it gradually without losing clarity.
- Refine and brighten the vowels to make the sound clear and controlled.
Effortless High Notes
When done correctly, you’ll notice your high notes come out effortlessly, without strain or excessive volume. This technique allows you to sing softly but powerfully, maintaining stability across your range.
