I don't know what chest voice, head voice, falsetto and etc. is?
So, I'm 14 and I don't know anything about this. I sing every day quite a lot since last year.
I can differentiate only two kinds of singing.
The first is when I'm not really singing, more like humming, trying not to be heard & trying not to be loud... Like I'm trying not to wake up someone... In my opinion, it sounds awful and squeaky, not like I really sound when speaking. And when I sing like that, I turn out accidentally imitating the singer who sings the song. It rarely turns out good.
The second is when I sing powerful and loud. I can sing this way only when I'm sure I'm alone in the room. I feel like that's the "right" way to sing. But when I try to reach high notes singing that way, I end up with a voice crack or losing sound(just temporary, when I'm trying to sing high).
So could someone explain which way singing is which voice, and what kind of voice do I not recognize or use at all?
P.S. sorry for the long post. I just want to clear this up. :)

Chest voice is singing in your lower region, its more throaty, and deeper. Its what you want to avoid when singing classical or opera music, but its quite popular in pop. People try to sing high in chest voice to make it sound louder, but actually its just making it sound worse.
Head voice is singing in your upper region. My voice teachers say its like "lifting past your throat." Its very hard to conquer head voice, and falsetto is even harder. Thats getting up to the very very high part of your voice.
Chest voice is what is typically sung nowadays, but I would suggest not singing in it too much because it can damage your voice. Chest voice may make you sound loud, but in reality its actually not. Also, don't imitage another singer, sing it in your own way, cuz everyone's voice is different :)

Singing in falsetto is the singing people usually do when they don't want to be too loud. You sing in falsetto be mainly squeezing your vocal folds together and push air from your throat to make a high-pitched sound. Singing in falsetto and using your "head voice" is the same thing. Using your chest voice is simply singing from your chest to promote volume. You can sing higher notes by training your voice everyday and pushing more air out to support the note, that should eliminate the cracking.

All those words communicate over with diverse factors of your vocal variety. the backside notes, those which you would be able to not often make and sound like a craking are the throat voice. next comes the chest voice, those are the notes which you sing greater for sure and with greater capacity. the pinnacle voice is discovered on a number of the optimal notes you're able to make, interior the begining the voice in adult adult males will sound corresponding to a women folk's voice, and ladies folk's voice will sound corresponding to a newborn's voice. mixed voice is complete via working on your technique and is a few thing between the chest and head voice. you're able to have the capacity to sing larger notes with the capacity of the chest voice yet devoid of forcing it. Falsetto is almost a head voice yet weaker and often can pass larger. you would be producing them with time and prepare.

Well, when you're trying to reach those high notes you're pushing your break. Your break is the highest you can go in a normal singing voice, otherwise you should enter falsetto (you can do that by lowering the larynx... a muscle in your throat. Opening your mouth wider helps, or in a sense "grinning into" the note).
