Knowing where your bridges are can really help you smooth out the resonation from one area of your body to the next. Bridges take place in different spots for men and women, but they are fairly universal within a gender. There are exceptions within a gender when a singer has an especially thick or thin voice; the result is that the bridges shift up or down. For the purpose of this article, I'm going to talk about where the bridges are for most singers.

We will deal with four areas of resonation: the first is chest voice, the second is mix voice, the third is head voice, and the final is super head voice. All combine to create one full voice.

Men's Bridges
Men, with the exception of basses or dramatic baritones, start their first bridge at E-flat above a keyboard's middle C. This is the first note in the mixing or blending area of the voice (a blend of chest voice and head voice), and each chromatic move up will transition the voice toward a headier position and sound. The male vocalist will not feel completely in his head voice until an A or B-flat. This is where the second bridge is.

This second bridge goes from A or B-flat above a keyboard's middle C to D above the keyboard's high C.
