How To Sing With Mixed Voice – 4K

You know what I love most about this subject?

It’s when I hear vocal coaches talking about this on YouTube etc. I literally laugh because I realize they haven’t a clue what they’re talking about!

Seriously, I’m not kidding.

There’s a funny Canadian term I’ve grown to love and that term is this: “Bafflegab”.

It’s basically a Canadian term that is used to describe someone that uses a lot of words to take you to a lot of different places that mean absolutely nothing and is basically distracting, confusing, used car salesmen bullsh*t.

Drum roll please…

Now enter the world of “Mixed Voice”.

Let me tell you very clearly, plainly and succinctly what mixed voice is.

Mixed voice is combining a percentage of your speaking, call, or belting register with a percentage of what we call a “mix” of your head voice or falsetto.

Here is where the confusion and mystery begin…

I can’t tell you how many videos I have seen where vocal coaches that don’t sing themselves try to explain a subject they know nothing about. But they have their YouTube degree in regurgitating information and so it makes them an expert.

In early opera, there are different vocal registrations that are grown differently.

There is our speaking register, which is literally the tonal qualities and volume of how we speak. This is also why I find “Speech Level Singing” awkward because we don’t sing at the volume that we speak. We might sometimes, but most of the time, we sing at least 2-3 times louder than when we speak. This becomes extremely problematic when we need our whole abdominal cavity to provide the strength required to sing at this volume (or loudness of singing) which strangely is discussed little in SLS – Speech Level Singing. If we haven’t trained the diaphragm and the stomach to accommodate this volume, the sound pressure goes straight to the throat, constricting the sound and creating singing problems.

The only way to fuse together our speaking – belting – call register and combine that with our head voice is to first grow them individually.

Once we have done this, we can start the careful process of “mixing” them together.

We must learn how to strengthen the Chest Voice and the Head Voice to sustain the power of the notes we are about to perform.

The fusing together of these registers is precisely our “mixed voice.”

So join me as we journey together on this very important, misunderstood, and elusive subject.
