Hello Anna, it is something that I sometimes struggle with especially if I am feeling a bit run down and my voice is feeling worn but warming up and paying carefull attention to that particular range is very helpfull. Working on correct placement really helps for that area between chest and head voice. Listening to the likes of Farnham and Stevie Wonder can really help in that area as they manage to do it so effortlessly.
All the best.

it is also helpful to do scales that don't allow as much air to get through. Head voice can be very airy sometimes. so making vowel sounds like 'a' as in sack can be helpful. and sing that scale in the area that you find connects between the two.

Hiya... Blending chest and head voice is a problem that every singer goes through at some point in their singing studies. Its all about how to "position" or "place" the voice, as the sounds literally move and resonate in different parts of the body. Moving from the chest, to the middle of the mouth, to the roof of the mouth. There are two main techniques that teach a singer how to feel these areas in the body resonate - the Ng position (nasal resonators) and the open throat Oo position (throat and chest resonators). However, a good singer knows how to keep both of these areas, or resonators, open the whole time they are singing. They work together synergistically. I have a series of scales that I take students through to help them move between the different sound and feeling of "chest" to "head" voice. Try singing a scale on one vowel sound only - starting with Oo or Ah. Start to feel in your body how the sound moves from the lower notes of the chest to the middle of the mouth, and then up onto the roof of the mouth and back down again. It is easier for beginner singers to practice descending scales before ascending scales. www.learn-to-sing-in-a-clear-and-powerful-way.com/

One way to begin to approach this problem is to plan ahead of time where you will switch registers. I know this may sound too simple, but many singers fail to do it. When you're rehearsing, see where the switch sounds best, then mark it in your music. Then sing it that way every time. As you become better at switching back and forth between registers, you won't have to plan ahead so much; it will come naturally. Good luck! Kristina voicestudio.kristinaseleshanko.com
