You use this when you speak normally, so say a few words out loud, and you can feel the tones reverberate within your chest. The same applies when you sing lower notes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Head Voice<\/strong> \u2013 When we sing high notes, we\u2019re using our head voice. Imagine you\u2019re a tiny baby chick. Say \u2018cheep cheep\u2019 in a high-pitched voice.  Can you feel that resonance, not in your chest,  but high up in your forehead?
