The Magic Of Your False Vocal Cords
Aug 24, 2023
This week, we're diving into the world of singing high notes using the magic of your false vocal cords, and guess what? You don't need any special training or risk damaging your voice.
If you've ever thought you couldn't hit those high or low notes without straining your voice or dealing with insecurities, this podcast is your new best friend. Get ready for tips, tricks, and motivation to supercharge your singing skills and make your musical dreams a reality.
Let's jump right in and explore the magical world of our false vocal cords. These hidden gems hold the key to sing high notes effortlessly, without tension or strain. Do you know what many beginner singers do? They push and strain when reaching for those higher pitches. Sound familiar?
Picture this: you're belting out a high note, pushing harder as you go higher. The problem is that tension isn't the solution. It can lead to hoarseness and irritation. Not fun. Another common misconception is that singing high notes means singing loud. But surprise – volume isn't the secret to nailing those high pitches.
That's where a trained singer comes in. They've cracked the code: no pushing or straining. Instead, they focus on technique. They focus on using the mixed voice – a fusion of chest and head voice muscles. This is where the magic happens, and high notes become a breeze. And guess what? It's not about volume or loudness; it's about openness and flexibility.
So, let's unpack the false vocal cords – part of our four-pillar approach:

Today, we're exploring the vocal technique pillar. Imagine those false vocal cords as two thumbs up, situated next to your true vocal cords.
When tension arises, the false vocal cords kick in, squeezing the true ones. But this isn't ideal – it leads to irritation and hoarseness. Our solution? Relax those false vocal cords. And here's where the yawn comes in! You know that open, airy feeling when you yawn? That's your goal.
Give it a try – embrace the yawn. Feel those false vocal cords releasing. Now, let's apply this to a song: the chorus of "All of Me" by John Legend.
First, sing it with your default technique. Notice any tension or shakiness.
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Let's get back to that yawn-like release while singing the chorus again. It might sound more classical. But we're focused on the feeling, not perfection.
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Finally, find your sweet spot. Release those false vocal cords by around 75% and make it sound good to you. Warm or bright – the choice is yours. This technique is just the beginning – the gateway to a world of vocal possibilities.
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
