On the first part of this video, I was doubtful on how this man will demonstrate the mix voice by himself. But when he started singing the song "Don't know why", I was blown away! OMG. He's freakin' good!

I took a test online and I was identified as a mixed voice. I was classified as an alto but oddly enough I sing soprano notes easier than I do the lower register. I'm older, almost 54, so I'm careful not to go too far beyond what I'm comfortably able to sing. I have asthma so that makes it more difficult. This is a very good, educational video. I needed more information on the mixed voice.

Thank you Dr Dan for this (old by now) video. I am glad that you went in to the physiology of singing mixed as opposed to using abstract metaphors from sports or dance.

Dan, that was awesome. I wish you could have had a heavier weight male vocalist do this as well. I've always wanted to hear how that kind of voice would sound because I believe, (correct me if I'm wrong) they typically have a tougher time with this in terms of tonal similarity and consistency.

I gotta tell, your vocal chord closure is absolutely wonderful. that's what vocal health sounds like. and your sound ringing in the area 3KHz+ is another proof of your healthy vocal tract pathways (primarily sinuses))) It's so rare these days, I'm sure you know. Hearing people speak one can easily say the kind of problems they have, either with nodules, swelling, uneven folds vibration or congested sinuses.

Head dominant blend or chest dominant blend. Balance is a good term to use if it's a sorta half and half situation where it's maximum resonance while using both evenly.

Falsetto is produced with disconnected vocal cords, like whispering. Mix has connected vocal cords (a.k.a. adduction) and uses some shiny nasal resonance (but you definitely dont want to sing through your nose, just with it). That is the main difference, although there are more things worth mentioning that I won't mention for the sake of simplicity.

You really have a nostalgic voice dr. Dan

This is probably the most frustrating vocal concept out there. Everyone seems to have a different idea of what it really is, when it's being used, etc.

fantastic demonstration. been looking for an explanation on Florence Welch's and Amy Lee's vocals because they moves around TA and CT powerfully.

great vid the part at the end when tou said that usinf ta ct or mix is the singers choice helped me alot because all three can be sung on just about any average pitch i use to think there was a right or wrong

Thanks, Dr. Dan. I think I'm getting it. I am able to sing in both CT & TA but I have often wondered which is best. So, since it is the artist's choice, I guess I should just pick the best one that fits the song and style I'm singing it in.

This is how I was classified. I have asthma now so it's not as easy for me to sing songs I used to be able to. This may help me. Every little bit will help me!

Oh goodness this video is SO helpful in identifying why I think people say I have a pretty unique voice. I think I naturally use a mixed voice on almost anything that I am singing with my own color/tone. In covers I can match the tone given, but my own is always described as "unique" so they encourage me to sing. I never heard or understood why, but I think this sound is not found easily in every song! Thanks, Dr Dan!

It may be interesting but when I use your vocal warm up files, vocal exercise five actually helps me hit the mixed voice without going completely off. It’s about understanding and being educated. I find things “click” once the knowledge is gained. Explanation and example are key for that. I’m very hands on and have to do it myself, it just has to click and sometimes that takes a bit longer. It’s a long journey that never ends but any information helps. Some things work better than others

Yes, Ally. Knowledge is often the key to unlocking the practical know-how. I hope more people come to an understanding about this important educational truism.

Hi Dr. Dan, your videos are really helpful. To answer your request I think mix voice is a proper blend of chest and head voices to creates sounds that are different from those 2.

If they ever do the Neil Sedaka story you would be perfect to reproduce his vocals. I mean that as a compliment. Although he's before my time he's one of my favorites, also a prolific song writer.

Awesome video sir ..😊

Dear Dr Dan! I struggel with my passagio for 18 years. As I began to take singing lessons, I literally head a break on that spot. Now I'm almost there to solve this issue, and after a lot of voice teachers I wanted to tell you, that is the best explanation of mixed voice I ever heard! Teachers and singers do speak about mixed voice and passagio in a misterious way and always on a theoretical level. In the last couple days I was thinking about, that I am not using a muscle somwhere that is needed to go trough passagio seamless, and then I found this video. I'm so grateful for it! Thank you!

Stylistically, I preferred the CT dominant in the Nora Jones song out of the 3 hihi. You have a very very good voice, by the way!

The term I would use is "distribution". All frequencies are present, but some are attenuated and others boosted. Like you're distributing power to frequencies in the target register.

Thanks so much Dan. Fantastic as usual. Could you show us a picture (drawing/diagram/chart or whatever) of where the AT and CT muscles are and what movements they make when they interact? It is the transition from one type of voice to the other than I find hardest. Easy to sing in one, or the other, but not to change between the two smoothly (I am a classical singer btw...) Thanks a million for your great work!

Can you make a video about the different types of dominant mixes?

Hey Dr.Dan, I really want to learn to sing, but I'm not really consistent with my singing. Maybe sometimes I feel for myself I'll be singing good for one day, then terrible another day. Can I get tips on how to stay more consistent? Also my voice is relatively deep so I find it difficult to reach high notes, or have a variety of high notes to hit. I also need assistance on transitioning from low to high and high to low notes smoothly. Can I get help on these dilemmas? Thanks a ton. :)

Best video on KZread about mixed voice, period. Dr. Dan, I'm having a hard time singing the chorus of A-Ha's Take on Me. The lower and higher notes are ok but there's one note on my bridge that I can sing pushing my chest voice, but would like to sing in a mixed voice, as the original singer does. The transition from "me" to "on" ("Take me On") is very difficult for me. After that part I think I can sing it just fine. Any ideas on the exercise I should do for this specific transition/notes?

Hello Dr.Dan! I was actually thinking about what term would be good, and maybe Mixed registration would be better :) and you can explain to students that mixed registration is how it’s transitioning from chest registration to head registration

You recommended this for me when I asked about bridging/blending, this is helpful and informative, but I'm struggling with transitioning smoothly between registers. Right now when I go from one to the other, there's a break/crack. How can I do a siren, for example, through my registers smoothly without a break/crack?
