This is one of the best explanations of "mixed voice" that I've heard.
this is one of the better and just simpler explanations I've heard for making this transition. in an era when 'mix' often means dials you play with on a sound board, I personally find the imagery of 'mix' more confusing to practice and share than 'transition' and 'preparation for transition'
love this! As always, you get to the crux of the problem for me. I love your technical explanations!
Really appreciate this. As a male vocalist learning to transition to head voice, I just could not understand how to switch from chest to head smoothly, especially when singing heavily in chest. It is exactly as you describe, you cannot go hard and expect to flip smoothly. Thanks for the tips.
THANK YOU so much for this video. this is exactly the question that i have been dealing with for a LONG time and i never found the answer....solution...for my soprano voice to deal with the “lower passages”! YOU just answered this for me....and pretty much solved my problem!!
So so good!! Thanks. Great video explaining this so helpful
That was very helpful. It is understandable now not like a mystery of finding mixed voice.
Thank you for this informational ABD demonstration and instruction. I now get it.
So well said. Thank you
How did you know this is the exact problem I’ve been wanting to work on omfg 🖤🖤🖤
Thank you so much Freya ❤️
Simple and fun 😂😂❤❤
Learnt a lot. And enjoyed while learning
Great lesson Freya.
Thank you for this ! I've always say that❤
Brilliant and extremely useful ❤
so well explained!
Fantastic explanation ❤
Thank you 🙏🏻
Wonderful information. This is such a tricky vocal issue.
More beautiful lesson
beautiful voice
wow i like this!!
Спасибо большое за ваши уроки! У меня произошёл переворот в сознании, когда я нашла вас на CZcams❤❤❤
Thank you ❤
Thanks for this. So many teachers explain mixed as using both chest and head at the same time. Impossible.
My days! I’ve got such a crush on this singing teacher 😊
@Emmy29nd She a dream! So
Cute and lovely! Im not sure I could concentrate if She was my singing teacher. 🙈
Super tolle Erklärung. Ich dachte immer das es eine bestimmte Technik ist, die ich bisher einfach nur noch nicht kapiert habe. Aber es ja viel einfacher als das. Danke!
Thanks lot 😊
Just started watching 😂😂
Microphone technique comes into play here at the transition especially if the band/backing track is loud, it's tempting to stay in chest because you feel if you allow yourself to go into head it will be too soft
What do you do if you just discovered that your chest voice is not developed? I can still sing with a strong mix with headvoice. It's not like that opera sound you showed, but more like Halle Bailey. My last singing teachers told me that i bring my mix to far down... and that it sounds like i have a "choir" voice. I think she meant because i have a very developed head-voice but not very developed chest- voice so much. It hurts easily for me to sing only with chest voice, because i feel like i need to push to get an even sound.
This is a late reply, but maybe you still have this problem. It's necessary to use exercises that activate the right muscles to retrain your muscle memory. To strengthen your chest voice, you can do exercises with "words" such as go/beh/pah. Start on a low G or A. These sounds activate the TA muscle, which is dominant in chest voice and which many classical singers and choir singers aren't used to using while singing. Stay below your bridge (meaning where the voice wants to go more into head voice). Ney is also a good "word" to use on a three or five tone scale. Avoid using to many exercises with lots of o's and ee's that tend to bring you more into head voice.
You can also try singing with your speaking voice starting from G or A and then sing 123454321 (so a five tone scale up and down). Try to keep it in your speaking voice. Chest register is really the same thing as speaking, only on pitch.
Hope this helps 😊
BTW, don't push and think it has to sound a lot. Volume will come with time when your chest voice becomes stronger. And chest voice doesn't always have to be loud, it can be cute and nice too.
Rebecca Caine talked about how singers use the "estill" technique and I agree with her. In musical theatre now everyone sounds the same with that chesty, belting voice. No more light youthful voices like cosette, christine, etc, used to have. And that was over 10 years ago, now is worse.
What’s funny is that opera and MT have the same, but almost opposite problem currently.
Opera these days is almost nothing but overbearing, unnecessarily dark and wobbly vibrato voices while MT is whiny, nasal, and homogenous. They’re still light bodied but that nasal whine is overcompensating for that lightness.
I literally told my teacher recently that I miss the days when Christines used to be played by singers were at least trained in opera, even if that wasn’t what they sang on the regular. Voices like Caine, Lisa Vroman (who’s my favorite in this category…she has a lovely rich tone color, but still had the lightness needed for the role) and a few others. The whole point of that role is that she needs to sound different than Carlotta but we also still need to believe she can stand up next to a voice like Carlotta’s…who is more of that stereotype we think of when it comes to opera. It’s a subtle but important story point. These days Christine is sing by the homogeneous MT soprano way to often and it rubs me the wrong way.
I don’t want so light and youthful that it’s boring and lacks tone, but not so overbearing and dark either.
A good example of a Cosette who falls right in that nice middle was Judy Kuhn. Wasn’t light and whiny, nor too dark that it didn’t fit the character type.
There’s a cover of Unchained Melody by Lykke Li where she transitions from chest to head voice so smoothly and i cannot for the live of me do it 😭
To me mixed voice = adding bass to my head voice without shouting .
I notice that if you can’t sing a song at a lower volume meaning transiting between chest voice and head voice using the same amount of air and don’t crack this means you can’t sing the song at a normal volume because you can’t transition at a lower volume without straining ….so you have to work harder to be able to mixed head voice and chest voice to reach a bigger sound without shouting. Using a straw, lip trill or humming help a lot tho
My problem is my passaggio starts very low like(primo) g3 and go up to b3 then another(secundo)on c#4 to f4#.I heard somewhere that you shoud know how to use both head and chest voice on both problematic parts to have chance to blend it into mix aka balanced voice with no break but I can’t go with head voice below c4# without switching to breathy falsetto 🤪.If I do long warmup like an hour or more it helps but I don’t think it should take so long😅
The problem that I’m running into is that I’m not sure where to place it. My voice teacher just says to use my head voice but move it forward, but I don’t like the way my voice sounds when I do that. Another problem is that when I try to do it, my voice gets tired after a really short amount of time no matter how much breath support I use. Any tips?
I am a super newbie into voice techniques. This is the 3rd video I am watching on mixed voice. It is presented with a different perspective on mixed voice and I think it makes sense. A few things remains unknown to me. What pitches one should try to mix and how to identify those pitches. I assume it is a range of notes (varies from singer to singer). Another question would be is mixing happening in the chest register or head register or a little bit of both. If it is a little bit of both then can we not say there is such a thing, a range that can take both chest and head registers in a mixed state as opposed to only Chest or Only Head.
In your video examples when you were demo-ing head voice you were dropping Jaw (like too heady) - I didn't know dropping Jaw is required to make a head voice.
Also whatever you said in this video is it applicable to both male and female voices?
Would love to get a response and Thank you!
how do you add power to it though?
Rather confusing because there are videos about practicing mixed voice from you on this channel can you explain? Thanks😊
I've been trying to get mixed voice for half a year now with my singing teacher giving me more and more exercises and I'm still not closer.. its so goddamn frustrating because all I wanna do is sing the songs i write but i just cant because i cant get the quality i need.
So in reality mixed voice doesn't exist? I thought it is a question of resonance by using different muscles and cavities... and there is a register where one can use both these groups of resonances at the same time. Is that not true? Thanks a lot for your videos, they are always very useful with lots of practice and good demonstration!
Am i the only one who hates the head voice? is there a way to make the head voice sound more "real"?
Men head voice may sound as is the voice of other person then their own, like a " voice impersonation"
Maybe one way is to try to keep the "color" (?) As your own.
Not tring to sound as "childish" like the style of "britney spears" or too dark / troat-y like Mickey mouse.
Like the teacher demonstrate here.
Thanks for the reply, i try to give it some colour but my chest voice as a male is (i think)a very strong dark voice (is the way my voice is, can't change it fully) and my head voice is always too "clean", either way, i'll try to keep working on my head voice, maybe theres the real issue.
Again, thanks! @@SoraiaLMotta
@@manuelcastro5928 are you a bass or baritone? If so when you go higher is normal to not have that extra vibration like the instrument cello.
The channel ken tamplin have some cool tutorial about how to sing the higer notes for deep voices. His style of teaching not always goes in deep like Freya does. But demonstrates a lot.
I'm your oposite: soprano that had to learn how to do chest voice and lower tones. That extra vibration sometimes sounds like I m trying to do a male voice or vocal fry and not only low tones.
@@SoraiaLMotta i'll check ken's video, i have seen some, i understand that there's a technique to give power to the head voice, maybe i just have to practice more. Either way, i'll take your suggestion and keep trying with different points of views. All the love to you! Thanks
Maybe it’s because you think as Chest voice and Head voice as two different voices but in reality you should train your chest to go up on the head register
What about the airflow direction?.
Nice tutorial but it was confusing to see a JUMP CUT in the middle of the legato lower to higher register example.
Love this video but your hair got me distracted❤
My mixed voice just natural achieve by just trying exersice to sing higher overtime, I don't even notice it's mixed voice
maybe the mixed voice is a "sound illusion", but to the listener it sounds real...and in fact mix voice "works" for many voices. thank you for the vídeo, it's an interesting view anyway
Just out of curiosity: Isn't Let it go originally belted a lot? I think mixed voice is not really what Indina did there. 🤔
But good video anyway. Keep upt the good work.
So clickbated, huh? Stop practicing and then showing how to practice......,
The problem with your thesis is that while mixed voice in some sense doesn't really exist, the term has different meanings to different people, and there may be useful techniques that go by that name. Connecting "chest voice" and "head voice" by controlling transition is not very useful for some styles. Many people would prefer to push their full voice way up, like G4-C5 register for guys and find ways to avoid any transition into full head voice. Some of those techniques are also called "mixed voice".
With all due respect, I personally think your singular "war" on mixed voice is just plain silly, Freya. I don't see how what you've shown proves anything? Except that we need to "practice" mixed voice 😉
completely agree! vocal coach here who studied bel canto and contemporary belting/mix voice yet i am a bass vocalist naturally. i have fully developed my chest and head voice and i make a living singing in my mix voice in a tenor range singing a lot of classic rock and top 40..
I don't understand how to do mixed voice
