Singing Gospel

Over the weekend, there was a special service that my church held. The church brought another pastor from a church in New Jersey. This is an event thats held twice a year, and I've been attending this service most of the time, regardless of my will. Yes, my mom forced me to go. Anyways, everything is pretty okay but still i can't really focus on the sermon, because i feel like i'm not completely open yet. However, one good thing about the service is that we all get to sing a hymn. And since those hymns weren't the outdated ones, melodies were great and i enjoyed singing. While doing that, I tried to incorporated what I've learned so far. Trying to sing with a head voice. Even though it is hard and i'm uncertain whether i can do it or not, it felt like my head was resonating slightly. How i did was,

  • Try to think and sing, since singing is all about thinking. I think it's kinda true because when i really try to do something, it works that way better than when I'm not.
  • Imagine that my voice goes up the throat, and goes up to my head via the teeth that's in the way back. It's like trying to send my voices up my head so that it could vibrate.
  • Imagine that voice is going at about 15 to 20 degrees angle from the mouth. This way, i will naturally look up a little bit and this will help me releasing the voice.
  • Open the mouth wide so that one part in the face thats around the ears (I don't know what its called), should be open.

I'm still not sure if i can use head voice or not, but it was a good time to experience it.
