Chest voice is the same voice that you speak in, the lowest register of your voice, and you’ll feel the resonance or vibration in your chest. You vocal folds are vibrating through their entire length when you’re singing chest voice. If you place your hand on your chest, you will feel your chest vibrate when you sing.  You typically will use your chest voice when you sing the verses of a song.
