Hello to everyone in the group, I’m writing because my girlfriend is a singer studying at the conservatory (first year), and she wants to make singing her profession.
For years, despite studying with teachers and attending an academy, she still has some weaknesses she would like to resolve. Since it’s a recurring issue, I thought I’d reach out to you to understand at least how to guide her.
Her main problem is that she struggles to manage the mix between chest voice and head voice; she doesn’t have control over it. Sometimes she sings in mix voice without realizing it, and, more importantly, she can’t reach notes between C5 and F5 while singing in mix voice. She can reach C5 in full voice, and according to her, her problem it’s not a range issue because with "turning" she can go up to C6.
While singing, she also has a breathing issue that her teacher has pointed out, but she isn’t aware of when she’s breathing correctly and when she isn’t.
Is this something she can learn to manage? Or is her voice inherently limited?
