Came in for the advice, stayed for the weird screams.

After a year of straight up research that didnt bear fruit, within literally 5 minutes, I genuinely started to get an idea on how to actually mix, what the hell thanks man.

You're so very welcome!! Glad the approach is working for you! ...And so quickly too!

Seriously the best vocal instructional content in KZread. There are tons of vocal teachers in KZread who just show you some exercises and never tell you how you should feel etc... while singing. This is invaluable.

this was enlightening, straightforward and also kinda funny. the fact that you didn't stop yourself from cracking as much as you did, while other coaches I've seen feel too embarrassed to do so, actually really helped to understand the point you were making. that final take of you explaining the different placements in your singing was a lesson on its own. thank you for this!

Brother, I'm from the Philippines and I can't afford to have voice lessons like this but because of watching your videos, I can now sing Steve Perry songs. I realize that singing high notes is not about pushing too hard but focusing on singing in a mixed placement and with proper support. Thank you, brother.

😭😭😭 OMG!!! I couldn't understand why I sometimes I would crack when I added more compression and sometimes it flowed so easily. I wasn't putting my placement back far enough!! THANK YOU!!! Dude, you are EASILY the BEST vocal coach on KZread (and I've watched SOOOO many of them)!!

Chris, I never comment on videos, but this is next level content. I've watched so many videos on mix and nothing explains it quite like this. Especially that end example where you explain the subtle differences while moving back and forth through the resonances while in your DAW. In my own testing, I've also noticed pulling the crease of the mouth back toward the ears seemed to help get to what I felt was mix and this video really reinforced that. Thanks so much!

Really great video Chris.. I love how you break things down and simplify a somewhat mysterious aspect to singing. Cheers dude!

Perfect timing. So weird, I was reading something about register flips today and was wondering how people do that, then you released this video. Thank you.

Great singing in the beginning. Great and helpful tips for checking if you are in mixed voice, along with the way you explain and demonstrate it so well.

A complete genius to guide one on the feeling of the placements!

Fantastic tip Chris . The placement makes a massive difference to carrying the chest resonance into head and creating mix . Well explained too

You know there are really not much content out there in this context wants your to really get it, you are very genuine and not making anything mysterious! Appreciated!

I love singing but ive always struggled to find out what was going wrong. Thanks to you i finally found the way and if one day I achieve my dream in singing, its all thanks to you, man

Thanks brother! I've been experimenting with mixed voice and it's making more sense to me now. I work with singers all the time in my studio as well and now I'm able to communicate better with the vocal techniques I've learned from you! Rock and roll!!

This is hands down the most helpful video about mixed voice on KZread! 👏👏

Wow all my doubts about mixed voice are finally answered, you're the best!

Your best video on mixed voice, hands down! I love the placement stuff really helps me dial in what I’m trying to achieve

Thanks, that fixed an issue i have been having. I was avoiding my upper range post-transition, but was mezzo-descant before and I've been back training vocal for about 18 months, performed two local proam musicals this year and have just started working on opera and a few days ago managed to start accessing falsetto, which brought me to your content. I'm baritone with a really nice bass end but I'm working hard on the higher end, and it's not easy. I appreciate your videos, they communicate in a way i can follow ❤

Great video chris! So helpful!

Great video, this and a previous one have helped me understand the feeling of mixed voice singing and now I can comfortably hit a whole bunch of songs I couldn't get before. The placement trick is fantastic, rather than going up the face into head, go backwards into the mix. I understand why Axl rose and Brian Johnson sang like they did now. Just got to try and understand what belting is now. Thanks again!

I love everything you do thanks Chris. It's kind of strange though my current stuff all I want is less power in the voice and more intimacy so I'm always trying to bring the mixed voice down in power and volume.

this was the MOST HELPFUL explanation and demonstration of mix. THANK U SO MUCH!! GREAT!!!

Thanks Chris, been wondering about this for a while

This is a revelation!! Many thanks Chris! This is pure gold! The key I learned from this video: pick a note you can sing in chest and head: in my case the D4. then move it back or forward! Many thanks again!

This is really really good, thanks, the forward/backward thing is a great way to get this across.

I was rewatching your old videos on mixed voice and you come with new one cool

Excellent Chris thanks man!

This seems to be helpful, especially since I've really been working on really deliberately practicing proper diaphragm support recently in general. Did clue me in as to why my current attempts to practice support in the higher notes were failing (and leaving my voice sore), as my voice was cracking, and thus head voice (and thus my throat was still tense)

YES!!!! Finally a method that ACTUALLY works! I had this doubt for months, even couple years maybe, and now I can be 100% sure it's the right path to develop. It's super tough for me to make the mix sound decent, or chestier. Even though you already have some great videos on this, I'd love to have the topic revisited in case you have any new tips and tricks for it! Thanks as always! You're the best. :)

So useful and so funny at the same time

Its videos like this that really help to shed the light on figuring these techniques out. I've been struggling with my mixed voice for a long time and this is a huge help! When you move the placement back for the mixed notes are you making sure your soft pallette is raised or in any particular placement as well or just sort of letting things naturally fall into place?

So in watching this video, I’ve discovered the reverse of what the common problem seems to be… that when I thought I was in head voice I’m actually in mix 😂

This is a nice video with really good demonstrations. I find it funny that you and I have completely contrary descriptions of the same actions. What you describe as forward placed chest placement, I would describe as a relaxed open throat placement. What you describe as pulled back mixed sound, I would describe as forward masque placed mixed sound. It really threw me to hear the same techniques described completely opposite of how I describe it. 😀

Thanks Kevin! It's funny... I intentionally shy away from those labels like "head, chest etc..." because I want people to discover or rediscover in new ways, how to internalize and manipulate resonances and other sensations. As soon as we start labeling things in our mind, we limit what we can experience. THIS is why I kinda have a 'otherworldly' vocab in the course as well as many of my videos here on KZread. This makes more and more sense the deeper you go with me as your coach :) !!

I thought maybe it was just cus I couldn’t hear myself but sure enough when I took the headphones out I felt something tense up and I couldn’t figure it out. I’ve always associated the thinness of mix voice with forward placement but now I realize that feeling of ease & freedom I was getting was because I was using a more open and further back placement 🤯 u are seriously the only reason I am even a little competent with singing man thank you

The difference for support/breathing/airflow etc... for singing vs screaming is actually one of the main points of focus in this course I've done for aggressive vocalists: www.mymusicalvoice.com/p/the-aggressive-vocalist-s-master-plan-of-attack/

Hot Water Music's Chris Wollard has a crazy voice you should do a video on. Always wanted to hear your thoughts on it.

1:35 had me dead. I was literally on the floor😂😂 oh shit 😂😂🤣

Resonance occurs throughout the vocal tract in all types of vocal emission. What goes backwards or forwards is the sensation of vibration, not the resonance. We must distinguish between resonance and vibration sensations, they are two different things, but almost no singing teacher seems to understand this.

Hi Chris; Thank you greatly for this tip. I have made a break through because of it. My head voice, or I should say; mixed voice is finally starting to get more powerful.

I actually understood this damn

How far should we stretch our chest voice until we can get a powerful mix? Is there a certain note? Like C5 maybe? Or what are your suggestion?

I have a lot of issues with this mess called mixed voice. I was starting to believe that I don't have a mixed register, but yesterday I took an hour to work on it. I basically tried to hit lower head voice notes without using my head voice. I found something new, but it sounds sooo ugly...😅 I hope it get better with daily training. My only reason to keep trying is that I don't feel any kind of hurt or stretching when I do this. I'm gonna watch your vídeo to check if I find some help on this register. It's a challenge to me.

It's a great content 🤟
