"Boop" head voice
Starting at the top and coming down on a silly "boop" lets head voice lead. It is the easy way into the light upper register.
How to do it
- Start on the top note, light and bouncy.
- Each "boop" a little rounder as you come down.
- Keep the lips forward like a small trumpet.
Remember Light, round, a bit silly.
