THE LARYNX FOR KIDS (AND ADULTS TOO!)
This is how your vocal folds work in the lower register. Air coming from the lungs creates a vibrational wave, from the bottom of the fold to the top. The folds open and close rapidly, releasing puffs of air every time they open. When you sing a middle C, this happens 256 times per second (Hz).

When you are singing higher notes in your upper register, this vibratory pattern begins higher on the vocal fold. The folds are also stretched longer and thinner due to the action of the cricothyroid muscle (CT) tilting the thyroid cartilage forward and down. Since the folds are attached to the arytenoid cartilages in the back of the larynx, when the thyroid tilts forward and down, the folds are lengthened, like rubber bands stretching. The combined result is less vocal fold vibrational mass employed in the upper register.
If you attempt to hold on to the vocal fold mass of the lower register when singing higher pitches (in other words, yelling on high notes) you will experience strain and ultimately, vocal abuse. Most singers try to do this, in the beginning, because the “chest voice” is our speaking voice and feels familiar. It’s hard to let go of what you know! But once singers discover the ease and power of the mix with vocal training at SLaS, they never go back to pushing the chest voice too high.
