BAST Trainer and founder, Line Hilton joins Alexa Terry to continue the Best Vocal Exercises series. Following previous episodes on chest voice and head voice, today the pair will be tackling the subject of the area between these two registers, the transition (aka passaggio, bridge, register break). Find out where the transition occurs in male and female voices, the problems singers face going through the transition, and some useful exercises you can use to help the singer navigate it.

KEY MOMENTS

‘Ideally, we need to have control over our larynx to go through the transition’ 
‘You wouldn’t build a bridge if you didn’t have something to go to on the other side’ 
‘Your goal is to shift without anyone noticing’ 
‘We sound unattractive for a while because we’re undoing some muscle dysfunction’
