In this lesson, I take some vocal sounds to their extremes, invite you into the noise and help you explore how certain muscles and positions should FEEL when you're singing in mixed voice. It's one thing to hear someone do it. It's another thing to stumble upon mixed voice, but it's a whole new world of freedom to be able to sing while in the pursuit of a certain FEEL and then discovering the amazing sound possibilities that can come from your singing!
2:15 "be ready to be stupid"
-My time has come
i was born ready
Hahahaha! 🤘🤣🤣🤣
CZcams gold right here, no one else talks about this from such a human and practical standpoint
You should’ve said, “But don’t poop.”
Hundreds of youtubers with authority issues would have simultaneously shat themselves in defiance.
I took the Christina Aguilera MasterClass n I didn't learn not even the 10% that I been learning just in your channel.
Isn't about money, isn’t about a vocal coach, it’s about interest n practice.
N love of course, like Chris.
Totally man. We've found a gem, in Chris
Thank you Chris 💚💚
David Moncayo how much wa xtina master class
Xtina can't sing too so
I did this on my own many years ago and it's how I learned I could sing. You have to get through the ugly sounds to get to the pretty ones, just like you have to paint ugly pictures before you get good at painting pretty ones.
YEP... Exactly!
i like how you giggle after you make a weird sound. i think its a way of saying ourselves ' its ok, dont feel ashamed'
4:00 as if I'm about to poop. You've seen me do this in other videos..
Take the 'as if' out
You guys aren't subbed to his only fans? Shame.....
😂😂😂
After years of feeling stuck with my singing, I am finally improving due to this channel. Thank you so much.
JoDaHobNob I recently discovered that listening to Nate Reuss from FUN. really helped because he sing super freely and without too much studio effects.
me too!
Chris helped me to understand the way to sing in mixed voice. Spent a year watching trash with no progress.
Same here.
same here. awesome person.
Gonna practice this tomorrow deep in a forest and far away from any human ears. Really cool stuff! Also like that Chris is a songwriter giving tips for those who prefer to write their own songs rather than sing covers. Thanks for this clip and regards from Switzerland.
Haha! Right on! :)
You are by far the best vocal coach on CZcams when it comes to teaching rock singing. I feel other teachers show exercises that require substantial skill prior to even doing the exercises, but you show the honest process that even a very beginner could begin to implement. Love your lessons Chris!!
I know what you mean. Bohemian Vocal Studio explains things too, but he then does the very thing you talk about in your comment
You are the real MVP/ MVVC
All the other “CZcams vocal coaches” give a 2minute biology lesson without anyway of us knowing what they mean but YOU make it so much easier to experience and understand. THANK YOU!!!
Right on! Thanks so much.
I always know I'm in mix when I feel the resonance flip up into my head/nasal area. Like it goes from being in your throat/mouth area, to right in the back of your throat around the soft palate. And the higher you go, the higher and lighter the resonance feels.
Yep, this description is right on!
Just out of curiosity, do you also feel a vibration extending on the entire upper teeth?
@@valentinawilliams94 you should yes
MAN This is the KEY video to do all that rock/heavy metal clean vocals and also dial the feel of fry. Pure Gold!
How to eliminate cracks, breaks, airyness, inconcistencies etc, and smoothen out the mixed voice?
^this would greatly help, thanks
junaidesse One thing that massively helped me is to understand that, to go higher, you have to sing with less volume instead of more. It's weird but it does help a lot. Experiment with decreasing volume until you get rid of the airiness.
Youandi Hoefman to an extent.. not if you want to be able to belt. But you should have a good foundation (being able to hit those higher notes softer) before trying to belt too
@@MetalliBucket It's funny because while belting does make more noise, at least to me, it doesn't feel like trying to make more noise. You're not pushing the sound, you're shaping it. That's what it feels like to me.
If I try to belt trying to make it sound louder, it doesn't work. Like I said however, this is what helps me, so don't take it as gospel, it might be different for others :)
@@youandijmh7998 same, it doesn’t feel like raising the volume per se even though that’s what’s happening regardless, it feels like focusing and shaping the sound
@Alex That's plain false. Amplitude and frequency are orthogonal properties.
I am 80 years old and have been learning to sing about 1 year. I can sing in a mixed voice with no effort. I have sung mixed at F2 in Old Man River, In A5 in Summertime etc...
Wow! What do you feel is more responsible for mixed voice- falsetto, or chest voice?
null null Mine feels like Falsetto with vocal fry
@@huimang1463 I so agree! And working on a very loose falsetto with no constriction made my belting feel limitless.
null null I dont know if this is mix and Im worried
Best tutor for heavy vocals on the internet
1) Fry sensation should be above the voicebox and not below it
2) Stay in a constant state of mild mixed voice all the time
Number one was a huge eye opener for me and explains all of my problems and validates all of my successes regarding distortion. Number two is something I recently discovered alone and is nice to hear it articulated here. Great info in this video.
Number 1 just completely opened my eyes and discovered my mix with volume thank you bro. Only on tall values rn
So true Chris. A lot of beginning singers are told to avoid this type of phonation and as a result go nowhere fast. I cry in just about everything I sing. The top tier guys I grew up with all have varying degrees of cry in their voices.
The cry makes us bring our arytenoids cartilages together and also activate the body of our vocal folds, both of which bring us closer to the chest voice sound anywhere in our range.
Long time no see Bob, I always remember you from the TMV forums with Robert Lunte, and your passion for Lou Gramm, your comments always helped me find or reassure some of my rules in my singing philosophy, thanks for that. I hope you're well, cheers man
I'm laughing sooooo hard and I'm supposed to be working!! I can't wait to do this after work lol . Great video and amazing voice!
CHRIS!!! You saved me tonight! I was trying to very hard to record the vocals for my upcoming EP. I thought I had messed my voice for today and was about to call it quits BUT OUT OF FRUSTRATION I came to this video and the mixed voice one (the Robert Plant/Chris Cornell one) and the input I got from there got me going so hard I think I nailed them voice lines! THANK YOU LOTS!!
This is so cool to hear!
Thank you really much, you're the only one that helped me to get really well to high notes with a great tone in a sort of hardrock style. I could reach a D#5 without any effort when i was able just to a A#5 and with a lot of tension before. Thank you very much, the best vocal coach on CZcams
10:44 For those wondering what mixed voice feels like.
Finding the feeling is definitely the key. Adding power to the other registers through compression is definitely in my awareness now. Thank you! 🙌🏻🤘🏻
4:00 "...as if I'm about to poop. You've seen me do this in other videos..." 😏
I have been watching your videos for last 2 years and finally i am able to sing with mixed voice. This is all thanks to your great teachings. Thank you so much.
This is it!! I'm been having trouble with the mixed voice (couldn't find it) and the transition to head. I nearly gave up. You're the best! Thanks CL!
I keep coming back to this, this is literally the MOST helpful singing guide I've ever come across for mixed voice. Today is my birthday and I got a 4k camera, I now have 2 condenser mics plus the wiring(sound cards pre amp and a splitter(?) I think its called so I can sing and play at the same time. I am noticing the difference in my singing, it's not wonderful by any means but it IS 100% better than it was and your the reason❤
Would love to see a video on how to apply singing musically, how to combine lyrics with a melody to create a vocal line, it’s something i struggle with and maybe others do too!
I got similar idea, though I got problem with lining up lyrics with the rhythm.
Chris, your advices help me so much! I was very anxious to record myself singing on an EP but thanks to you I will be able to post songs starting next month :D Am so happy
Thank you for keeping posting these, I'm getting it down and you're giving me lots of ways to approach this and not give up, don't stop please I'm getting close
YES ! I needed this video so much !
Thanks Chris
chris i gotta say thank u man.....been doing lessons for almost 10 years now and your techniques and explination are so damn spot on. thank u!
Singing is too difficult... There's just so much to it. Omg!!
Great video as usual !
OMG this is so simplified that I finally got it! thank's a lot my friend!!
I had no clue where do begin when trying to learn mixed voice. This video gave me a great starting foundation, and I was able to do the things demonstrated here where I couldn't have before. Thanks!
Wow! Chris...... this is about my 6th time I have worked through this video singing with you. It gets better each time, and I am able to relax more and more. I can hardly believe that I can reach these notes you are singing as I am a Baritone. WOW! Thanks again for all your hard work in sharing these techniques with all the world. God Bless you Chris!!
How about singing in the style of Spencer Sotelo?
Hah, or just get him on the channel instead.... 😂
This makes so much sense.
I really love your lessons ❤
You’re awesome dude, like the sage of voice lessons 🙏🏽
My poor neighbours, probably about to call the police soon 😂
Arrested for the possesion of vocal warmups.
@@huss2600 arrested for singing extremely off pitch
Omg I forgot I have neighbors
Lololololol!!!!!!
@@ninahuang5388 comment of the day
4:53 made my day! Some great mating call right there! ; )
You sing Amazing Chris!!!!!!!!
you know who had an awesome Vocal Fry? Freddie Mercury. love his VF. this was helpful, thank you. ❤
Very inspiring videos!
Thank you a lot :)
Thank You Chris. Its the missing puzzle in my journey of singing for 3 years learning from youtube. In short summary
1. Exercise lip/tough/hum/nay/guf
2. Mixed voice exercise
3. Compressed abdomen muscle see video.Hahaha
You really do teach so much that others cant this is my favorite "how to" type of videos Bravo my guy!
Chris is the best vocal teacher! I have already learned so much. And he puts it all out here on CZcams for us all. Thank you so much Chris!!!
You're so welcome!
great video!!
Was finally able to access mixed voice with your advice, even though I've been experimenting and following different courses for 2 years now. Thank you!
Honestly, I ended up having to go to the bathroom after following you on compressing my lower stomach muscles. Keep up the good work!
haha.. nice!
Chris ............... such a great video on Mixed Voice. WOW! You explain it so well. I love it that you also demonstrate it with your own voice. Somehow this makes it easier to emulate it myself after I hear you do it. I am going to watch this over and over. I feel like for the last 50 years I have been living in a 2 story house and never really been able to use the top floor. I feel after watching this, that it is really possible to access the top floor. Thanks a lot. God bless you Chris!!
I love your approach !! Thank you very much
Amazing! Probably the best mixed voice lesson out there. It's coming from someone who has watched (tried) tens of youtube lessons on this topic (since last many years).
THANK U SO MUCH, THIS REALLY HELPED 😊😊 KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK
Brilliant!!!!! And so unique
Thanks Chris
Thank you for your motivating videos. I find them great. The efforts you make to explain how to work with one's voice I really admire.
THANKS A LOT because of your coaching on "How Mixed Voice Should Feel," I can now sing "Open Arms" which was impossible for me to sing, BEFORE.
Wow thanks again. Been following your ideas for just a few days and already noticing vast improvements. It's getting easier to keep everything connected, where all my sounds from crazy and non human to straight singing with and without distortion, inhale and exhale sounds, beat box and bird, harmonics and normal, etc. available with lightning speed in the flow of the music. I've been doing basic things for many years, but was on a plateau for a long time not knowing the details of the anatomy, like where my distortion box actually is. Been doing the monk drone for years not really knowing where the low buzz comes from. All this breath training and playing with all the tone filters in our pipes is really powerful in relaxing my approach, a big endorphin buzz comes as a result of many of the things you show. The details I get from coaches like you is helping me better be able to speak about the odd noises I do intelligibly.
This is pretty cool! I struggled with mixed voice for a while and this helped me a bit for that although it sorta made my head voice stronger on the higher note you sung for a demonstration lol. I'm not sure if it's cuz my chest voice is being slightly mixed in because it doesn't sound very falsetto-like and it feels light but I can put in a bit more power without straining but it still sounds head voice like. I know the things I said is confusing which is why I'm going to do some more practice on this!
Thank you. I'm learning something new
Finally I see you sir. Now I m right here to learn from you! The way you explained is just very comprehensive!!!
Glad to have you here! Welcome to the channel :)
Thanks so much, this is wonderful stuff.....
This helped a lot thanks
thank you. now I'm able to do the mixed voice easily than before
You're welcome!
Would love to hear a sing I the style of Jay Buchanan from Rival Sons!
Man, you are the best, point.
I love you man!!!!
Such an EXCELLENT way of helping people feel their mix. I learned a ton! Thank you!
Damn. I must say you were the only one that solve my problem. I didn't know how to feel it or if iwas singing with mixed voice. Thx helps a lot.
Psdt: I'm going to try it on my backyard with my cat to cover my noises:v
you are a life saver
Hey Chris, loving the videos as always, would you be able to do a video on the style and methods of Daniel Tompkins from Tesseract?? That'd be real epic
Absolutely love your teaching approach. 👍
Glad you're resonating with it :) !!
So helpful
I think my vocal voice is improving. Thank you for your vocal teaching. 😄👍
That’s great to hear!!
This video is amazing. Thank you.
Also, I heard what sounded like some of the right timbres in there... Would you do it? Would you do a video on singing like Anthony Green? 🙏 🙏 🙏
Man you're able to go this far and put it out to the world I can't even do it in the comfort of my own home because there's people around hah
This guy has so much fun at work X) Is there a compilation of this somewhere?? The world need to know. Its really good help in so many ways. There has to be so many hours of Chris making silly sounds.
Haha!! Thanks. :)
It seems that I have not said it yet. Thanks for this. Nice add-on for your course. Beautiful and true moral of the story, before the track.
Awesome! Thanks so much!
Nice, now I need to train sing that without so much tension under the chin
Hey Chis! Thanks for all the brilliant videos! Funnily, your tutorial on fry/rasp, especially the goofily feeling oscillation between head and chest voice got me into a kind of mixed, raspy voice. After probably being used to the right kind of tension and attempting to following your tips of singing like Chester Bennington, I somehow slipped into the mixed voice and it immediately felt like my "rasp register", only clean. Maybe this path is reproducible and helps others already experimenting with fry etc. although you probably need to be super careful with your voice there!
You helped me a lot thank you
Real brave, well done.
I'm now a subscriber of your channel
Your channel is like finding a goldmine!!
So glad!! Excited you're getting so much out of the videos!
You vids make singing so much easier
Hey Chris,
I've been loving your videos. They've been one of the best in helping me improve.
I was wondering if you're looking for an intern at all?
Hadn't really thought about it :) Might be an interesting idea! What are you interested in doing?
I think I got it I've never been so excited
Hey there Chris!
Hope youre doing well!
I quite like your videos! I'm mostly a guitar player but would love to be able to sing as well which i am bad at. But unlike guitar where i learnt things through a progression (chrods shapes> chord changes> strumming> picking > scales etc) I am unsure as to where i should start with for singing. Are there daily vocal trainings we can do to get better, like how i practice guitar daily to get better? Could you make a video or playlist on that, about daily vocal practices on getting better at singing? Thank You!
Hey man, your work there is amazing. Can you please make a video about singing like Joe Duplantier from Gojira?
I'd love to see a video on Nate Reuss from FUN. because he has an amazing technique. When I try to imitate his style I completely lose tension.
Another Great Video - tomorrow I will give it all a go. But I want to re-emphasize my previous comments on your channel that the quality of your videos really make an immeasurable difference in the listenability of your lessons, especially for a topic that rides across such a significant dynamic range. Do you do all of the video/audio recordings and post-production yourself? Keep up the great work.
Even after all the videos of yours I've watched, I still laugh when you say poop haha. Never grow up people. Also great lesson thank you!
Can you please do a toturial about steve perry high notes? Or europe band high notes?
That would be pretty awesome!
Yes please
Steve perry would be so awesome!! and europe too!!!!
"ITS THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!" 🎤😩
😆
"Like you're trying to poop" I immediately $hit my pants and the most beautiful rendition of amazing grace came out of my mouth....
haha! NICE
In all honesty this is very hard for me. I find my range is really limited above baritone even trying to use my head voice. Are scales necessary to improve range?
I love it
Love it 😆😆😆
12:52 was pretty awesome! That's what I'm hoping for..
Wow, this is the only video on mix voice that has helped me, and I’ve watched a fair few. Only one question, when Chris says “I’m tempted to use my neck to get compression, don’t do it!“ I’m never really sure when I’m doing compression whether I am actually adding in pressure in my neck instead of only in my abs. I wonder if anyone else has any thoughts or ideas? After singing 3 to 4 songs in this new mix voice, I found my throat gets a little raspy and husky, someone even commented I sound like I’m getting a cold…
