Bro wtf is this, is it really magic or what?? How did you discover this "magic trio" thing? The first time you discover how mix feels is like magical af ngl

@@StudioWestLessons Thanks for the detail respond!! As a singer I actually don't think about "mixing" when I reach for my high note lol (though my songs are not super high), I actually just think about "chest", whether I want a louder chest, or a relatively quieter chest. The physical sensation might change a little bit as pitch goes higher, the "nasal resonance" might be a little bit more prominent? The tonal quality might gets a little thinner, but it still feels like a "chest voice" to me, or as a first person experience, producing the "mixed voice" and producing the "chest voice" they felt like in the same category. I actually don't feel like merging into falsetto that much(?) Don't know if that make sense. lol Because a falsettoey sound, or a "heady" voice can be quite loud in some instances, but it doesn't feel or sounds a "chest"? So I would just think about "mix" as a more relax? or lower volume chest? LOL!! Anyways, I think your video explains a lot, and very insightful. Will be looking forward for your new update. 👍
people have all kinds of understanding of mixed voice, its certainly not pulled, not falsetto and has stronger core support than the heady voice. its called mixed because it has the tone quality of both heady and chesty sound voice, the mix balance can be varied. The Volume is inevitably high, getting chesty tones in high notes requires to get louder or you wont get the resonnance, you dont get it by getting louder, you get louder when you can hear the Chesty Tone correctly in your head.
@@Ignasimp tenor and baritone "operatic headvoice" is the same thing as mix using taller vowel shapes and more "dome resonance", soprano high notes is flageolet.
Dude...this video was *exactly* what I needed! I started singing about 2 years ago and while I was lucky enough to discover fairly early on how to bring my chest voice up and not break into falsetto, I always struggled with having too much chest and sounding kinda...dying cat-like when I got past about a G4/G#4. I looked everywhere for answers and nothing really clicked for me. I had even given up the past few months in that while I still enjoyed singing I stopped actively seeking out ways to improve because I had kinda resigned myself to the fact that I just wasn't meant to sing and other negative thoughts. Then this video popped up in my feed and it just clicked. It's still difficult in that the coordination will definitely take a while to become consistent but I can say for the first time in my short singing adventures that I was able to get past my bridge and have it feel...easy. Effortless almost. Seriously good video and hope for your success in your singing career/channel! You're doing really, really good stuff.
What I love about this video is that you cover basically everything that I’ve heard many vocal coaches try and explain about mixed voice over the years... but in a way that actually makes sense and makes it clear you understand it. I find myself thinking, “oh so that’s what that guy meant”. It also makes it clear that the other coaches probably don’t understand these things or latch onto a narrow collection of them. Here are some things they talk about: - Early and late bridging (what does it mean guys?!? How?!). - low larynx helps you connect (neglecting to mention that once you raise the larynx again, you need to consider volume and mouth shape). - you need to narrow vowels as you go through the passagio (not noticing the passive vowel changes that occur when you don’t get louder. You are curbing. It isn’t necessary). - You want to stay on the same “muh” sound as you go higher. You can tell you’re pulling chest if the vowel splats bla bla bla (again failing to notice that ironically the vowel changes passively if you mix and the only way to keep the vowel the same is to pull chest). - there is no mixed voice. This term is confusing to singers (fair enough, except that there definitely is a point where the sound opens up and becomes yell-ish when certain rules are obeyed and this can easily be identified as pulling chest. Same for the more closed sound of mix that occurs when certain rules are obeyed... it CAN be defined). -pharyngeal resonance bla bla bla (not necessary). -if you start by pull chest, there’s no way you can get to the “right” coordination. Light and right bla bla bla. (It seems this isn’t the case and you’ve probably noticed it isn’t).
Jordan Rakei is my favorite singer. He doesn’t belt but his transitions are buttery smooth. He does these exercises through a large straw into a big cup of water.
Just wanna share my experience as beginner whom always crack falsetto whenever i sing higher than E4. After 2 month of practice i can sing up to B4 (not always stable but i can tell if i continue i will get there). The really key thing you have to watch out for this 18:50. He basically demonstrated the good vocal cords coordination so that you can smoothly transition between loud and quiet. When i started I CAN'T DO THAT AT ALL, i feel like there is a huge missing gap, and when i attempted it just sound like: falsetto -> vocal fry screech noise -> random yodeling voice crack -> chest voice. I want to tell everyone you can work on this "transition" on a single tone you can comfortably sing like c4, use the "magic trio" to aid you balance. One day i was able to do the transition, and when i stopped at the middle (the mixed voice), i was able to move up to A4 pretty easily. Don't know if this will help at all but i hope it does haha edit: Forgot to say my understanding was all thanks to this video 😀
I managed to hit a4 by only watching this video... It was not a bad a4, it was a stable a4 I never thought I was capable of. I am so happy, just after following his techniques/steps with a 20 min video that I managed to add 5 new notes on my range and be able to access them with ease is phenomenal
This took me almost a full year from watching your videos to develop this and man it was a journey but I am now considering a career in singing. I never thought it was possible for me to even possible. In the end it was sensation sorting and watching UA-cam videos over and over while dong CDs. I also got a coach and learned that I had to go downward with my mix and WOW the difference it makes in your voice is freaking drastic. It's like you find yourself. I swere that's what it felt like. I even got classified as counter tenor which shocked me. I just did this cause I enjoyed it and wondered where I could come from like you did. I wish I would of recorded it man to show me people it's possible.
You're a blessing 😇!! I accidentally made my mixed voice using the magic trio. Just to be true, I didn't experiment with those three, i just start with them then let my voice do its thing. There is no tension in my voice while doing it, just feels rig ht tho. Also hitting higher notes is much much easier without straining. The best mixed voice video ever, other vids are just like "mixed voice is somewhere in the middle" but HOW?😅 !!! THANK YOUUUU!
Oh my god, your videos are so helpful and easy to understand! As a classically trained soprano, I really struggle feeling confident with my mix and belt as I'm always living in 'head voice land', so thank you so much!! 🙌 😊
I struggled so much to get correct understanding of how to develop the mix and I’ve watched soooo many videos. U sir, are the man, and this video is a preach! Thank you so very much for your help and funny character. ❤️ all the way from Denmark
After years of looking and trying out all the excersises to find mixed voice , i've finally found an excersise which works for me ,thank you so much gregory you're awesome. Ive seen your transformation video you had the same problem of pulling chest so you very well know how to resolve that problem ,thank you so much again. Please never stop making videos. 🔥
So many different videos, explanations and exercises... So much confusion and frustration because of not knowing what's going wrong and how to fix it. Now I finally know HOW to practice and WHAT to work on and how to play around with different timbres. This is easily the most helpful video on mixed voice I've seen! Thank you so much!
This is a lot of value for free ...after trying to figure out my voice I subconsciously used to do most of these things but the way you put it out it makes so much sense and more power to you ..clearly you are the best.
Thanks again Greg. I love in your videos how you keep encouraging us to play around with our voices and experiment. I hadn't realized that I've already been using my mix without knowing it. I'm excited to play around with all of this and with the magic trio. Thanks
This is the only video that ever helped me bruh. The low larynx thing is what clicked for me and made me find my mix. THANK U SO MUCH! You deserve so much subscribers and views!!
Quality video, man. I've watched a bunch of videos and this is the only one that has immediately helped me in mix. I was practicing the exercise in the beginning and was able to hit an a4 (a note I only rarely hit, and with a lot of effort) with ease. This video has helped me finally unlock my mix voice. You're the man
This is such a great video wow! My mix is very underdeveloped. My range (chest only) is Gb2 - E4. With falsetto I can reach Gb5, but I’ve always struggled with getting a stronger, “chestier” sound after E4 - it just never clicked for me lol. This vid is perfect.
The dislikes are from Ken Tamplin and his "laaa...aaa...aaa...aaa...aaa" Edit: And from Someone who cried so much after creating his mix that he accidentally pressed dislike
I don't know if I got it. I might have. I'll practice this and see what happens. If it did work, thank you so much. Like the other comments, I've looked for many, but this one seemed to make sense. Earned a like.
This is gold . Did your belting lesson yesterday. I feel armour plated to not worry when the high parts are imminent. I used to easier sing the darkness just by impersonation with no idea how. Now I think about technique. I’m not so good . You have a falsetto lesson ? Thank you.
Love your videos on mixed voice a lot man! I’d love to see a discussion between you and Tyler Wysong talking about it maybe sometime in the future. Keep up the great work!
Great stuff man! I've gotta say... You've increased the quality of your content by so much recently and it's super helpful👍 keep up the great work man and keep growing that hair out😎
An easy way to tell if your larynx is dropped is to go from a talking voice to a yawning voice. You can feel it transition and that's the spot you want to be in.
So I'm n a full week of practicing and OMG. So many changes in my voice I practiced for a full 2 weeks thought but this is from the date of the comment. I am way more coordinated and my inner ear is so much better as well as all my resonance. I am so relaxed in my singing that I can go way higher! I can go to a d5 pretty easily. I just don't want to try it at a normal volume cause I'm scared but I was able to do Crawling by Linkin Park and my whole face freaking BUZZED! It scared the shit outta of me but I realized that this is emotion and resonance!
shit man, I watched your vocal journey and it mirrored my experience so much. technically i started off 'better than you', which i owe to having done a fair bit of singing at a young age, but my technique has completely plateaued in recent years because my singing technique has been so poor that even practicing makes me feel tense. I've recently started again, attempting this time to build a solid foundation using proper vocal exercises and learning mixed voice rather than straining for high notes with chest. This video is amazing, and i'm so happy that i've encountered someone who experienced that same period of 'inconsistency', 'strain' and, above all else, 'frustration'.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!! This video helped me get my mix and it feels so good!!! You were clear and perfect in helping me understand and focus on what my voice was doing!! We need more teachers like you!
Wooooooow.. I found this comfortable place in my voice. It was just as powerful as my chest voice but I could feel a sharp sensation in my head. I wasn't sure it was a mix though. I thought it was a belty chest voice but I'm starting to think it's a mix
Man, u're helpin singers so much, I'd like to thank you from Brasil. I have a question that I hadn't seen in the commentaries: Is mixed range a body configuration that allows you to almost instantly connect your range with power and presence, or is it a range that should be worked out in a way to conquer the notes all over the scale?
Higher larynx. I'm not an expert, but I do know that much. U might wanna try and use a witchy sound to keep the folds compressed. Just don't let it feel bad when ur doing it.
This is amazing! Thanks for sharing, incredibly helpful! I was curious, is someone like Chris Cornell doing a pulled chest voice for his upper register or mixed voice? It might just be his biology but your examples of pulled chest sounded similar to what he does. I think the tonal quality of what you point out here sounds spectacular
Thanks to your video I think I found my mixed voice! It s very loud and I can hit C5 very easily. The way I found it is more like this= Head Voice+vibrato/compression+ raising soft palate ( by using vocal cry). Is my method correct? Thanks for all your help and your singing technique videos!
I'm probably going to have to book a session with you for discussion about a couple of what I consider to be, positive attributes of tone and an evaluation for the purpose of reliable incorporation to my vocal toolbox. I have a character voice (think Willkommen from Cabaret, low register Elvis ballads & singers of the 20s/30s. I used to be able to call up a controlled helium/Donald Duck character this is much more difficult since I began practicing your techniques about a year ago, which have been of such tremendous benefit the trade-off is more than worth it. That latter voice was not sustainable for any practical length of time ie I couldn't maintain it to voice over a feature length animation. It could also be due to age. Without warm up I can cleanly access notes without falsetto and with an ease I could never have imagined 10 years ago ... at the same time, my lowest, riches notes which were always dependable are a strain if I can get to them at all. I'm thinking this is a combination of the pitch raise Knowing to the male voice as it ages combined with discovering my true voice. I like practicing volume, tone/timbre control on sustained notes. There is a SUBTLE quality I love in the tone of certain singers that in my mind, is "woody/flutie" & compares with reed or double reed instruments in their lowest registers. Think clarinet, oboe, bassoon ...not sax so much (ok maybe Alto SOMETIMES), Also, certain Vox Humana stops on a pipe organ. The 1st time I became aware of it was in the 90s on Linda Ronstadt's, "What's New?" album. I don't know if there is a term for it. Is this aspect I like, creak, fry or even a vocal characteristic worthy or dangerous to pursue. Is it a legit technique with a name? If so, can one develop it or is what I am hearing idiosyncratic to those singers voices? Streisand (Broadway album) sometimes has it when sustaining a single note (a bar or more). She couples this with, in my opinion, a signature technique of "thinning" or "thickening" tone independant of volume, which is also something I practice/endeavor to incorporate. Linda Eder incorporates this to a lesser degree. In contrast I have never heard it in Dinah Washington's voice although I'm a huge fan of her tone, diction, elocution, and enunciation. I am hearing it for the 1st time in "my" voice & am working at controlling its implementation. It seems easiest when I've been practicing subsonic and then singing those notes in the regular register. At some point I definitely have to book an hour with you IF YOU ARE INTERESTED in sharing your take on this as well as an exercise or two I could use. CheerZ
I really loved this video. The concepts explained really helps and obviously, the way you explained it and prensented it is fun and interesting😂😂. But I have a doubt. While hitting high notes in mixed range, I try to keep my larynx lowered, but it automatically gets lifted up, how much ever I try. So, should we always lower our larynx, while in the mixed register?
I have learnt more in this one video than I have of over 10 years of lessons and courses! I just hit an B flat below high C, and it felt and sounded smoooooooth!
That moment when a 20 min youtube video is more helpful than hours of singing lessons(":
This is definitely the best video ever on how to develop a mixed voice!
I agree
Bro wtf is this, is it really magic or what?? How did you discover this "magic trio" thing? The first time you discover how mix feels is like magical af ngl
Bro just added 5 new notes to my range with one video
To me it felt like my voice was taking off, like really about to fly into a limitless sky... but I can't do it again, so frustrating

Damn, this might be the best video on singing I've ever seen! It makes so much sense :0
Great video!! It sounds like "MIXED VOICE" is an un-pulled chest voice in a relatively low volume with a "falsetto-ish" sensation cause by pitch.

Jordan Rakei is my favorite singer. He doesn’t belt but his transitions are buttery smooth. He does these exercises through a large straw into a big cup of water.

This video is amazing, and i'm so happy that i've encountered someone who experienced that same period of 'inconsistency', 'strain' and, above all else, 'frustration'.
Sounded like you brought out an upper octave harmonic at 17:00 for just a second, that was neat
5 seconds of video and I already subscribed. You are awesome man
this is the best video I have ever come across, thank you kindly.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!
This video helped me get my mix and it feels so good!!! You were clear and perfect in helping me understand and focus on what my voice was doing!! We need more teachers like you!
Bro honestly you have the best channel on youtube.
Wooooooow.. I found this comfortable place in my voice. It was just as powerful as my chest voice but I could feel a sharp sensation in my head. I wasn't sure it was a mix though. I thought it was a belty chest voice but I'm starting to think it's a mix
The BEST VIDEO! At least until the NEXT BEST WEST VIDEO!! Was awesome content and very very entertaining, engaging and helpful!
Man, u're helpin singers so much, I'd like to thank you from Brasil. I have a question that I hadn't seen in the commentaries: Is mixed range a body configuration that allows you to almost instantly connect your range with power and presence, or is it a range that should be worked out in a way to conquer the notes all over the scale?
Yes i wanna sing in mii i i ii i xeeeeeed ... Thank youuuuuuu so much 🥰
This is what i was looking for man! This is exceptionally Great. Love frm India! 🖤
boy the intro on its own✨
Amazing content Greg !!!
this video is so amazing and of great help to me. Going to start working on developing my mix asap
Amazing... Absolutely nailed the teaching format!
Any suggestion on how to get a brighter sounding mix (e.g. less swallowed/less operatic-sounding)?
Higher larynx. I'm not an expert, but I do know that much. U might wanna try and use a witchy sound to keep the folds compressed. Just don't let it feel bad when ur doing it.
This is amazing! Thanks for sharing, incredibly helpful! I was curious, is someone like Chris Cornell doing a pulled chest voice for his upper register or mixed voice? It might just be his biology but your examples of pulled chest sounded similar to what he does. I think the tonal quality of what you point out here sounds spectacular
I truly believe in this breakdown. Thank you for this.
Quality
I hit like and subscribe as soon as I heard that first note 🙌🏽🙌🏽
MAN THANKYOU I FOUND MY MIXED
Great stuff, Greg! The German Shepherd sounded like a Neanderthal lol.
big plus on the music Greg! I saved this video to re visit again for a warm up and I am definitely sure that this didn't have music couple days ago.
@@StudioWestLessons lol that made me look like a fool, probably my mind playing tricks on me. Maybe I did not have it as loud as this last time.
Awesome presentation and examples
Thanks to your video I think I found my mixed voice! It s very loud and I can hit C5 very easily. The way I found it is more like this= Head Voice+vibrato/compression+ raising soft palate ( by using vocal cry). Is my method correct? Thanks for all your help and your singing technique videos!
man, how long have you studied along your life? this video is so detailed I feel you're here teaching the techniques.
OMGGG tysmm for this , this video is magical it helped me sm and it helped me instantly
The singing intro had me!!!
this is a golden video.
I'm starting to love your content, i watched 2 videos so far 😁
I simply love your lesson
100% right! Great video 🤩
I'm probably going to have to book a session with you for discussion about a couple of what I consider to be, positive attributes of tone and an evaluation for the purpose of reliable incorporation to my vocal toolbox.
I have a character voice (think Willkommen from Cabaret, low register Elvis ballads & singers of the 20s/30s.
I used to be able to call up a controlled helium/Donald Duck character this is much more difficult since I began practicing your techniques about a year ago, which have been of such tremendous benefit the trade-off is more than worth it. That latter voice was not sustainable for any practical length of time ie I couldn't maintain it to voice over a feature length animation. It could also be due to age. Without warm up I can cleanly access notes without falsetto and with an ease I could never have imagined 10 years ago ... at the same time, my lowest, riches notes which were always dependable are a strain if I can get to them at all. I'm thinking this is a combination of the pitch raise Knowing to the male voice as it ages combined with discovering my true voice.
I like practicing volume, tone/timbre control on sustained notes. There is a SUBTLE quality I love in the tone of certain singers that in my mind, is "woody/flutie" & compares with reed or double reed instruments in their lowest registers. Think clarinet, oboe, bassoon ...not sax so much (ok maybe Alto SOMETIMES), Also, certain Vox Humana stops on a pipe organ.
The 1st time I became aware of it was in the 90s on Linda Ronstadt's, "What's New?"
album.
I don't know if there is a term for it. Is this aspect I like, creak, fry or even a vocal characteristic worthy or dangerous to pursue. Is it a legit technique with a name? If so, can one develop it or is what I am hearing idiosyncratic to those singers voices?
Streisand (Broadway album) sometimes has it when sustaining a single note (a bar or more). She couples this with, in my opinion, a signature technique of "thinning" or "thickening" tone independant of volume, which is also something I practice/endeavor to incorporate.
Linda Eder incorporates this to a lesser degree.
In contrast I have never heard it in Dinah Washington's voice although I'm a huge fan of her tone, diction, elocution, and enunciation.
I am hearing it for the 1st time in "my" voice & am working at controlling its implementation. It seems easiest when I've been practicing subsonic and then singing those notes in the regular register.
At some point I definitely have to book an hour with you IF YOU ARE INTERESTED in sharing your take on this as well as an exercise or two I could use.
CheerZ
love your videos! excited to learn more :) also you are absolutely adorable... subscribed !
Great mixed, Gregory ))
This is great my man! Giving me a direction.
I like the intro
I really loved this video. The concepts explained really helps and obviously, the way you explained it and prensented it is fun and interesting😂😂.
But I have a doubt. While hitting high notes in mixed range, I try to keep my larynx lowered, but it automatically gets lifted up, how much ever I try. So, should we always lower our larynx, while in the mixed register?
I have learnt more in this one video than I have of over 10 years of lessons and courses! I just hit an B flat below high C, and it felt and sounded smoooooooth!
Great video, thank you for sharing this information!!!
