Resonance. Man this can be an issue! I remember one time I was in a choir and the director had each of us sing a scale. I didn't realized he was trying to see how smoothly we shifted from one resonant space to the next and I was very obvious in one of my shifts. I often think back on that experience when the topic of head and chest voice comes up. I didn't realize how many shifts a single voice has. Formants were a bit confusing to me- but, if my understanding is correct, certain vowels are standard resonator in certain harmonic sets. The singer's formant was pretty neat to read and talk about in class. The think I found incredible was how resonant the voice is. Didn't realize that a voice can literally out-sing an orchestra, and that is just because of the resonance and the Hz the voice produces. I would love to dive more into the singer's formant to gain a better understanding of it.
