What is Mixed Voice? (Chest & Head Voice Coordination) 

*Your videos are so enlightening and innovative; plus incredible editing!* Thanks for giving us this important lesson 🙋👏

What I will say is that everyone does not have a visble break in their voice , some people's ranges are more connected and is what we usually want to aim for.

Great explanation! I have been working on extending the range of both chest and head voice.

Great videos keep on uploading like this❤

Great explanation and interesting tips! Thanks for that :)). And what about belting technique? I don't know if you already have did a video about that.

So good O'Neil!! Really happy you're doing these videos!! You have so much knowledge and gifting as well as an incredible ability to teach so keep it up!! :D

Awesome, and interesting video as always!! 😁 I know for me, I tend to exercise my head voice first to wake up my mix, then work my way down. I tend to speak in a very chesty voice, so this helps me to lighten up a bit, but still maintain the colors of my voice. A lot of gigs I do, I have to at least sing up to a D5 in mixed voice, and at least a C6 in head voice. So, if I don’t warm up my head voice first, I get some very chest dominant Mid-upper belts (F#4-A4) that I know aren’t entirely healthy (no matter how powerful it may sound lol), and very shrill notes above G5. 😅

I've dying to study this for so long Then I watched this video again and again, and then I realized my vocal teacher thought me this long time ago, but because we're Indonesia and we don't speak English so we don't have the same...jargon...for mixed voice haha Thanks

It’s only possible to bring up a 100% chest voice so high. The last note physically possible to sing in full chest is about F#4-G#4, even for women. After that you naturally are mixing. Now you do control how heady or chesty the mix is.

I think I sing a lot in my mixed voice when I have higher songs or female songs to be flexible and colorful and more chest for songs by male artists.

I love your explanations.

I need to lighten my mix! I start usually at F#3 and when I hit C4 to A4 My highest ever, I feel is too much chest! How can I make it sound more like Ariana’s tone more light less “tense”.

I like this

Brilliant 😭

I can mix. I can slide from my chest up to my head w no break w one continuous sound. However. Mixing during a song makes me lose power

Can you talk about the Harmonics of the voice (H1-H6).

I take 5 paragraphs to ask one question im sorry bear with me. But ive only learned voice from reading and videos. So the concept of mixing I understand but at the same time ive always found weird. Because I literally think of it as taking half of chest register some of head register and balancing them. But the physicality of that is so weird to think of. Cause your not manually doing it, right? You're sending air to certain placements to hit a certain register. Like im trying to undersrand what physically is happening. I understand the larynx or (adams apply) stays neutral, the throats only purpose is being open to let the air traveling, out. And the purpose of lifting the soft palate is to close off the nasal cavity completely so the air stays in the mouth, travels to the roof of your mouth hitting your soft palate and hard palate. And then engaging the pharynx is what causes the twang and singing into that twang basically is what they mean by into the mask. Is that right? Cause thats only what I notice from my own singing or reading. But I noticed singers ...well first of all rounding out the vowel and making it narrow naturally helps place it forward. But letting the mouth open more I notice on E5, F5, G5 around there the mouth is REEEAALLY open. But its not just carelessly opening really wide its purposeful controlling the air flow.... forward into that vibrating sensation that happens on the hard palate. Like theres a little trench or indentation that forms down the tongue directing the air I noticed. Its open like ....having an egg in your mouth. So my thing is less weight on high mixes, as in well balanced it sounds amaaazing right. Now for me if Im at a Bb4 til like C#5 im good its chill, not scary yet range and Im solid but a song for example that goes from C#5 up to a G#5 its hard for me to make sense of. If im singing in a bright mixy area song I can pull out great G5s that sound healthy and I dont feel strain. But if Im hitting a strong A4 then have to go up to G5 where I have to pull back off the power and lighten it. Its like I can't think that fast. So I have a few question's, from my understanding that "Ney-Ney" exercise that engages the pharynx and gets the sound really in the mask right? Thats what would help? Cause I can hit the notes but if I get really forward and up in the mask thats how to mix 5th octave high notes, (easier) is that right? The key to high mixing is placement basically. Like navigating placement throughout the 5th octave is ...idk like Keke Wyatt or Amber or Sohyang their top notes are phenomenal. What are tips or anything to figure out navigating mix?

Whats the music in the background called?

Interesting taking the range of high and low in chest head voice....hmmmm

I'd genuinely love to see what you'd think of my mixed voice since I attempted to use it alot in my covers that I make in my channel.. although I'm not really sure if I mix correctly tbh.😥

Is it possible to do high notes With a chest Voice.

Please I have a question. I have always known that the whistle register is a disconnected register and isn't connected to the modal register (chest voice, head voice etc.) but Brett Manning seems to display otherwise here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GecPVTYJTOQ.html I'm skeptical though.

I really want your feedback on my voice as best as you can without actually hearing it. My voice is so strange. I’m an 18 year old male. I like to say I have two different voices. I have my “man voice” and then I have my “soprano voice” my man voice isn’t very wide as far as range goes, the lowest I can go is a D2 and the highest I can go is a B4 (Belt) before I start switching to my soprano voice. In my soprano voice, I can go down to a Eb3 and up to a B5 (Chest dominate mix) but I have almost no falsetto. The weird thing is, I can belt as high as my falsetto goes. I use to be able to do whistle tones at the beginning of puberty but then over time it just faded away and now I can’t even do any high falsetto’s. Why do you think that is? Do you think it’s because my technique sucks and I wrecked that part of my Range by hitting wrongly produced whistle notes?

Did you go to school to learn all of these things and what school did you go to

I can never mix to save my life :(

I wont to know if iam singing in mixed voice belt

I have some songs on youtube
