Combining Resonance Zones

The richest voices blend chest and mask resonance simultaneously. This creates a sound that is warm and projecting, intimate yet powerful. Opera singers master this blend, and so do the most compelling speakers and podcast hosts.

Practice blending by starting a note in chest resonance and gradually adding forward placement without losing the chest vibration. You should feel vibration in your sternum and cheekbones at once. This dual resonance can make your voice more compelling.
