Ever wonder why your voice flips, cracks, or shifts gears when you sing? This episode breaks down why that happens—and why it’s not a mistake.

Hi, I’m Drew, and on this episode of The Voice Science Podcast, we’re unpacking one of the most misunderstood behaviors of the human voice: register transitions. Whether you call it flipping, cracking, or passaggio, this reflex is built in—not broken.

We’ll explore:

• The natural muscular behavior behind your voice’s “gear shifts”

• Why micromanaging your sound can make things worse

• How science-based vocal habits lead to long-term confidence

• What not to do when your voice “breaks”

• And how to start retraining your voice if it’s stuck in one register

Understanding these core vocal behaviors is the first step to unlocking control, consistency, and range. And it’s exactly the kind of work we do inside VoSci Academy, launching July 25.
