Whistle voice or register

We hear a lot of talk today on how to find your whistle register or whistle voice.  Once you have mastered a lot of the techniques we have talked about earlier, finding your whistle register will be much easier, however if you want to just play around with it and try to find it, there are 2 really easy ways to force your voice into whistle. The first one would be to hold your upper and lower lips in your fingers like we did earlier to relieve lip tension and sing a scale going up into your upper range.  You will feel your voice “crack” into another place.  It should not hurt at all and you should find it really easy.  You can also do the same mouth position by singing in a super closed (oo) position with your lips like the vowel sound in the word uber.  Be sure you are taking in enough air, supporting your voice and have your tongue as relaxed as possible.  Once you get the sensation, practice reproduce it with your mouth and lips in a more open position.
