Hi Ken,

I get the impression from some of the Youtube videos that you've posted that you're a bit of a soul music fan.
I think this guy is from your part of the world. I was blown away when I first saw this video. He really starts wailin' around the 4:00 minute mark (wayyyy up in head voice. Although I don't know if his style is healthy or not ;-)

Best wishes,
Pete.

    great link.  killer voice.  the high belting sounds exactly like the bridge building sliders that ken teaches.  Once you get the placement it is so much easier to do, than it sounds.  i also like the lyrics in chorus "push, pull, tear, you can't stretch it any farther".....is he talking about "Chest Voice"?:)

    Wow, I like this dude's voice. Great song, meaningful lyrics and a great beat. What else can I say. Good, good, and good.

    This is one of the tunes Ken recommended to listen to/sing along to when he did the September 1, 2012 Head Voice 2 Webinar.  I have a copy of this added on to my CD I made of Building Head Voice.  That bridge section is a real stretch!!  If you're looking to stretch your head register, just put this one on repeat play and make sure nobody's listening in!

    You'll find the links to these songs in the Head Voice section of this Forum, in the "Head Voice Webinar Released" thread.

    I can add that I was lucky enough to see him live here in Copenhagen and he was spot on in every song in the original key; including the above "Unaware".

    See, I don't understand. the belting at 4:00 isn't falsetto. How long does it take to be able to do that. lol
