I was just wondering how pop singers use their chest voice to go all the way up into the higher notes without sounding like they are just screaming or screeching. I think you are suppose to somehow blend both your chest and head voice when you get up that high but I was just wondering what is the best way to learn to do that. I would appreciate any the help.

There are several components to the technique. Hopefully your male and this will make sense to you. Normally as you go up in pitch your reflex is for your adams apple to go up. Look in a mirror and inhale as if you're about to yawn. See how your adams apple goes down low. No learn to keep it down there while you sing. Practice singing scales progressivly higher and keeping your larinx down. Support with your diaphram, focus your voice tward the back of the roof of your mouth, always curl your tounge upwards while singing vowels (to darken them so they sound more similar to your consanants), as you go higher in pitch (tward the top of your scale) shift the focus of your voice slowly tward behind your front teeth, drop your soft pallet (hard to explain). Learn to do all these things and practice until you don't have to think about it and there you have it:)

Hire a vocal trainer, check the local colleges for a teacher that does lessons on the side.
