We covered what is physiologically happening when your voice naturally wants to make register shifts in steps 1 and 2 of this process.

Now we’re going to move into ways to make your transitional zones more flexible through modal mixture exercises (step 3) and I’ll also break down the mechanics for maintaining mode 1 balance and efficiency as you traverse passaggio vowel by vowel (step 4).

If you’re new to my channel, my name is Dan Callaway. I teach musical theatre voice and vocal pedagogy at Boston Conservatory at Berklee. I’ve performed on Equity stages for over 25 years, helped music theatre performers work sustainably on Broadway, national tours, and at top regional houses.

If you’re a singer who likes to tell stories, and you want to do that in a satisfying, wholehearted way, you’ve landed in the right place.

I make videos knowing that if I help one person learn a game changing skill, carry away a helpful tool, or hear something that makes their life better, then it’s worth it. I hope this helped you today.
