I usually lurk, and never comment. But this video, this video is something special man. I've watched hours and hours of singing content on KZread, and you are the only singing teacher that explains in such a way that I can actually map every singing concept you portray to my own voice. I am so glad that you are putting this effort into your videos, and into your teaching. Please keep the content coming, and I assure you that the subscribers will follow. You have something special, thank you for sharing it with the world.

Okay I couldn't sleep and decided to annoy my neighbours giving this another shot. And I just found it. You changed my life with this. I can't believe that I was looking for my mix for years and all my past teachers invalidated the importance of my strong falsetto and said it was going to be useless for contemporary. And now this. I have to say it again you changed my life. This is soooo nuts. Thank you thank you thank you thank you.

Im glad it worked through just a KZread video alone! Congrats :) -Gregory

Very original, and no cliche.

I accidentally did this today and was shocked belting a C5. and now the algorithm shows me this video. This coordination is heavenly since I was struggling with belting an A4.

This is how I actually sing many higher songs. My mix is unreliable so I use this in gigs.

Hours of practicing the subsonic fry/creak until I could hold it and move between notes as well as use it to speak robotically without inflection opened the rest of my mixed - high range. One day (seemingly out of the blue) I could sing notes that I could never reach without strain or having to resort to falsetto.

I'm happy to see you get your channel back.

I love how you demonstrate and make things so clear. keep teaching Greg!! Bravo.

So happy to see your channel grow Greg. You absolutely 100% deserve it!

This is so relatable, thanks for the tips

An amazing video with full of knowledge!! Good job Greg!!

you do an excellent job explaining & demonstrating concepts that are hard to grasp and to feel!

I'm learning so much about from you greg, I love your creative work 😇

You're amazing! After years of trying to guess all these concepts, I finally have a clear reference and examples to follow. Thank you!

Your my life savor. Just want you to know that. I finally reached that sweet spot in my voice thanks to these amazing videos

Best video on thias subject ever. I've been searching for this for like ten years and now I finally got it and was able to do it.

that's the technique i needed, and finally found. thanks!

I really loved what happened when I used your "smile" demo. worked really well for me in moving me into mix. Thanks

video is so sick I needed this so much. thanks greg

I loved this video lesson. I use this sound a lot and I'm still experimenting with it below B4 as I have a hard time staying in this coordination in the fourth octave. You pointed out some really vital steps here, and as usual, your pedagogy is impressive and spot on! Keep up the good work!

This is the best video ive seen on mixed voice. Thank you 🙏

Thank you for this video! I’ve been frustrated for years thinking I was unable to find my ‘mix,’ but it turns out I’ve been able to produce this sound all along (albeit a less pleasant version haha)! I thought it felt too easy and sounded too twangy so I thought it couldn’t have been correct, but the more you know. Now to work on connecting this to my chest voice 🤟

The best explanation and Demonstration as always btw you look great...

Instead of doing the exercises you are teaching, what i am doing is just to keep watching and i was just amazed by your voice. Thank you for the information and lesson about the falsetto mix😊

been waiting for a new vid from you greg. Thank you

OMGGGGGGGG THIS IS THE FIRST VIDEO THAT WORKED ON ME LIKE EVER THANK YOU SO MUCH I OWE U EVERYTHING

Thank you so much. It was a relief stumbling across your videos. I want to get more confidence with my singing. I am so insecure about cracking in between registers since my voice isn’t strong yet. This is very informative and u explain so perfectly.

I'm new to this channel and I've been working on learning mixed voice the past few months. It took me almost 7 months to learn head voice placement not knowing that I needed to have better chord closure #1 , then opening my nasal passage was the 2 ND thing, I have a high lyrnix even when I'm relaxed so getting my lyrnix to stay down has been a challenge as well. So far I'm able to do most of what you are doing in this video but I'm not the best at adding all of this to my singing yet😂. I know in the end is all just practice and good technique and placement and I know I'll get there eventually

You look great, Greg!

Dude, I'm just a guitar player who never understood what mixed voice was. This is the first video out of dozens that ever actually made sense, and succinctly explained it. That actually sounded like full voice! I wish you were still doing videos. I'd love to hear your synopsis of what guys like Richie Kotzen or Myles Kennedy are doing. This was incredible!

Each day that goes by without your belting video being released feels like another day in ignorance purgatory. I’m so readdyyyyy!!

Hey Greg, hope your doing well. I just had lessons with Sam Johnson a while back and I was actually mixing quite well thanks to your videos and others. I really appreciate all your work that you put into your channel. I have to do falsetto integrating excesses now which is fun. I didn't break at all during the Ah exercise from chest to head. My dream is actually finally coming true. I plan on making videos soon once I get lyrics tackled which is my new years resolution.

Your Content is Gold!

This one. This one helped me get it. I sang a D5 in heady mix because of this video, thank you

For a long time I think this voice was "wrong", and trying so hard to find a real "head voice" (ended up belting). Those open vowels work like a charm! YOU ARE THE BEST!

So young and so talented! Nice! Thank you!

I need this! Thanks a lot!

I had this exact same vocal creaking issue and my vocal coach had no idea what the issue was. This i will have to try!

Awesome video Greg !!

So interesting thank you man!!!

I love using this coordination. It’s pretty wild if I can get it right

THANK YOU FOR THISSS

Incredible

I’ve used this mix a lot lately. I can sing almost any song.

I am also getting the creaking, but now i feel a little more encouraged to keep working in controlling it

Thanks for the vid! I've been kind of using this voice to sing higher notes subconsciously but this video helped me using it better! I was struggling trying to belt them and this falsetto mix just makes it way more lighter after a 2 hour rehearsal w my band lmao

Bro thank you so much for putting this out there. With some vocal teachers you got a pay them 800 bucks to get this type of information. God Bless you bro

Wooooooooooooo...❤ it's Amazing

Thank you so much for this video! You know it’s been super hard to find any video detailed with great comparisons and explanations!

Your video very helpful thank you

Great video I've been using this for awhile. Are you going to be different types of mix video???

Thanks for this tutorial idol

this video is amazing.

This video is wonderful! I was actually developing this technique without knowing it! Can you actuallygrow that sound up higher ? I think I can take this ysound up to only D5 at best and it's strained, bc I'd love to do it up to E5 and then transition to flageolet

the hair is looking good g

What the hell this actually worked this is so good

I love using that register, the only difference is that I am a baritone so my tone is thicker or fuller.

14:42 I laugh so hard at this. Thank you so much Greg, what an amazing approach

Is there any routine u can do muscularly to strenght the change between falsetto and mix voice without using sound? Like weighs or pronounce a lot certain consonants would be amazing something we Could do in the metro... or in a bar...thanks in advance you are an awesome person...

Hey greg! Awesome video again! You’re honestly the best vocal coach on KZread by far. No one comes even close to explaining things in terms that are understandable to both new singers and to more experienced singers. I’ve been working on the falsetto mix with this video for a while now and I’m finally being able to coordinate and really feel the stretch of the vocal cords as I ascend and really open my mouth into overdrive/edge shape. (I hope I’m not wrong). But now I’m left questioning the difference between falsetto mix and your belting video. From my understanding of your videos, for belting you add twang and go from overdrive to edge as opposed to letting the vocal cords thin out into falsetto dominant mix like you demonstrated here. But would you say that these belting and falsetto mix are very similar until you reach around A4 when you start adding the twang? Hope this makes sense, thank you so much if you find the time to answer my question! :)

The problem is just it gets too loud and whiny, lol. I think I'm just gonna keep working on it, it might be just a matter of time til I get the _soft_ sound. Thanks again, Greg 🙏🏻

The teacher is so cute and also has a good technique.

Finally!

I love all your videos! If it's not too much I'd like to request a chest/high chest video. For some reason I have more cord closure on higher notes and my low notes are very airy and strained.

Try swelling your falsetto and bringing it down into the bottom of your voice. Slowly and gently, but solidly. You will find that you can take falsetto all the way to the bottom, and it will start to mix and give you a more hollow but less strained low range. You may even find that this process increases your low range! When you extend the top, the bottom often extends as well. The voice stretches from the middle at both ends.

This made perfect sense to me. Thanks so much. I can blend up from chest voice into falsetto / mix, but coming back down into chest voice I always crack and fry. Is this just a matter of time and practice, and strengthening muscles or incorrect placement?

After spending way too much time with flag tension, the falsetto makes approach is way more reliable, healthier, and it even makes my speaking voice more full. My phone has less trouble recognizing the words I'm saying. Who even knew that pulling falsetto into your speaking voice range can add frequencies that weren't there before!

Hey Greg! Thanks so much for this video (and a lot of your vids actually)! I feel like I found exactly what you're describing and I can reproduce most of the sounds. However, as you said a lot of males do (at 21:48), that light chest voice really seems to elude me completely. When i try to slide down with falsetto mix into chest I seem to get creaking/a somewhat distorted sound between B3-D4. Do you have any tips on how to get that clean light chest voice as you demonstrated at 21:48? Or would you maybe make a video about it? It would really really help me I think and hopefully others too.

Thanks for making this video! I'll try it out. Also, 6:03 I know this is not the point of this video, and it's a demonstration of what not to do for this coordination, but I really want to get to this sound, too, it's actually quite nice.

I'll start by saying that you're the best KZreadr that teaches singing. I've been trying to learn to sing on KZread for 4 years now and my voice hasn't grown a bit. The only thing that grown was my confusion.😂 Your videos really clarified so many concepts for me. Thank you so much! Now for my question. I'm wondering if this falsetto mix is M2, and if the flageolet mix is M1. Cuz you didn't say that in the video. Thanks again!

@@StudioWestLessons so you're saying just by changing the shape of the video tract, the vibratory mechanism of the vocal folds so also changes? However, when I'm trying to connect the falsetto mix back to chest voice, I feel something "click" from F4 to E4, the same sensation when I transition from falsetto to chest directly, just smoother. That click is what I use to distinguish M1 and M2. So what's wrong with my understanding then?

Спасибо)))

This video is great. I had watched some of your newer videos a few months back and they were overly technical but this is so well done maybe thank you

This is great, thanks for sharing your knowledge. Im having a little bit of trouble connecting this with my chest voice. I practice yodeling and i usually go from a note to the same note but in falsetto, for example C3 to C4. That make sound a little crack when i go from C4 to C3, in yodeling sound cool but i dont really get how can i connect chest with this mix falsetto voice.

I think I'll switch to this approach. I've tried starting with my chest voice, but I can't consistently get mixed voice, it's like 9/10 yelling or flipping to falsetto, and 1/10 I get a nice mixed voice. But those times when I yell quickly wear out my voice. I want a safer approach. And also I prefer relaxed and quiet singing. It fits my style better.

I started pulling my tongue back and experimenting then almost started throat singing . Wow

Thanks for the helpful video! Also, I found that when I try to be more airy in falsetto mix, I lose the brightness and transition to falsetto. Does adding air to falsetto mix equates to transitioning to falsetto or can I be airy while still having that brightness and fullness? I'm trying to compare it to chest voice at lower notes where airiness and softness are separate aspects.

can you listen to slept on you by bryson tiller, I think the way you explained it compliments the sound/tone the artist is singing. correct me if I am wrong :)

bro wtf i sound like the weeknd i love you so much

Priceless video, answered all of my questions. In general, in singing, is there an endeavoring to focus on the point of which your mixed voice starts sounding mostly like head voice, to take that point and raise it, in the sense that your making previous head sounding points and strengthening your coordination to make those points sound chestier? Or is it the case that Everyone's point of which their mix starts sounding like mostly head voice is unchangeable?

@StudioWestLessons

Yes, not only to raise it but also to LOWER it. Laryngeal registers (controlling the vocal folds to produce a modal, falsetto, or mix) is pitch apathetic so you can and should train for the flexibility to move the registers all across the range in both ways. :)

Nice messa di voce...

Hello Greg, nice vid! I recently found out that my voice is more open and I can reach high notes effortlessly if I shout, not aggressively but like speaking louder and the higher the note, the louder I get. And what I've noticed is that my voice doesn't sound strained now, and I feel like my chest voice is starting to connect with my head voice. But I still strain at B4, I want to know how I can sing higher without getting too loud or having to shout.

You videos are understandable Can you pleasy make video on hot to aing high and belt in chest voice only

now tell us please how to do a light chest voice?

Ahh the jeff Buckley mix, I love it thanks.

Gregory, Is this the technique that perhaps Steve Perry used to his advantage? (Example: Wheel in the Sky) He could hit the notes so light & easy yet sounding so rich & full. Seems like I’m hearing the same technique in his resent recordings (Traces), but perhaps w/ a mere mortal’s ability to connect everything these days🤔. I’ve never fully understood where Perry’s pulled chest w/ head resonance transitioned over into mixed head/falsetto on various melodies. Is Sam Cook another example of a master of this technique???

My falsetto mix is much softer than my chest voice (also my falsetto is soft). I am working on getting slowly better but I can;t sing like you, although I can go way up there with a much better tone quality than you have. I am 82 years old and have been singing 3 years. Basically I am softer than you with my maximum volume. I have gone up to B6 very softly. I only can go up to F5 with any power.

when you say "i don't recommend trying this lower than f#" i have the problem that anything above eb4 feels so high for some reason to keep singing in chest, and i know that that's my passage but it's like my body defaults to strain and making my voice extremely heavy and singing just an E4 feel impossible, but i don't feel like i have a particularly low voice, it's super confusing

Thank you for the video. A question. when I support less it makes my vocal cords tired( I get horse after 10 minutes of singing). What do you suggest?
