How To Sing With A Mixed Voice | With Amazing Singing Examples | #DrDan

my voice coach tells me to sing where it feels like the sound is behind my nose, ive tried many different ways, from humming, to singing with my teeth clenched. But when I go to sing with my mouth open I keep going back to singing with the back of my throat. can you help?

I keep masking my head voice ugghhh

If you don't look whenever he sings mixed voice you wouldn't be able to distinguish him from a woman

Hello Dr Dan, Can u learn mixed voice when your voice Is breaking?

Left even more confused. I don't get how to control my dam voice to mix it!!!!!!!!!!!!! What are all the 4 registers? I thought you said head, chest and mix, what's the 4th? I can only belt out high notes by giving more air, I don't know how to transition from chest to head without a crack or strain. And even so with head how do you add colour or tamber to it? Ugh gosh I'm so confused and frustrated I just wanna sing and not be embarrassed :(

Great video as usual Doc. Thank you. Voice Essentials 2, exercise 25 & 26? :) -Evo2020

Would Michael McDonald in Patti Labelles' "On My Own" be a good example of him using mixed voice?

Love the tutorials and lessons. Easy to understand and result oriented...Thank you Dr. Dan

I can use mixed voice before knowing it existed. I thaught it was a normal voice. It did not sound good before a month ago. But took only a year for me😃

While I am watching this video, I noticed your views on this video and subscribers are same, 177k.
When I finish it, your video will have one more view, therefore I am subscribing the channel, maintaining the balance.

Dr. Dan, I was most intrigued about how you said it can be learned to sing higher (than the natural break) in chest voice or lower in head voice. That just blew my mind. How is this possible? Do you have a video that covers this? I would LOVE to be able to sing higher in chest voice.

CHEAD voice. You're welcome lol.

Very easy to understand . Thanx

I am a 14 years old boy My chest voice range is f4 and my falsetto range is f6. I can easily transist between my head voice to falsetto but I cant transist between chest to head please give me exercise to do that and what is voice type please answer me

I heard Michael Jackson on his (Baby be mine) song is it his chest voice or mixed voice because it is very high and strong how can he do that please give me your answer

The best explanation and examples I've ever heard/watch Dr. Dan!!! You're great musicians and vocal teacher!!

Tbh I have severe trouble accepting my head voice and mixed register, because I've mostly been singing in my chest voice for years (and it sounds way stronger of course than these two I'm having trouble with). Thanks to the explanation that Mixed register is a balance between muscles, I might be on something to figure out how to overcome this difficulty. Thanks!

omg i was just frustrated at the video cause i can't find it but then i think i found it cause i tried to hit higher notes upto E5 is more easier (ofc i still can't hit F5 up)but the thing that scares me is i think i found it but im wrong what do i do?

I love the explanation thanks

Wow. This was a great video. I love how you demostrated each type next to each other. Thank you!

Great explanation! Thank you!

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

Thank you!

Mix is a hybrid...

Amazing! Thanks

You're definitely the V O I C E doctor when you sang how chest, head, and mixed voice should sound. I recalled the difference between treble and bass when I fine tune my headset last week. 😆👍😁🎹❤️

I saved this video for reference. I don't just do it just for the sake of saving it, but this video is too helpful not to be bookmarked nor saved. 🤭🎵🎶😘 This video confirms that I've been using heady mix voice when I sing with the help of diaphragm. I was never a fan of singing in chesty mix voice ever since I was a kid. No offense meant.

wow very interesting

This is a good video describing the difference and relation between TA, CT, and mixed voices

Dr. Dan, I was wondering in what resonance do I feel this Mixed voice? I don’t know if I’m doing it properly. Chest voice and head voice are very obvious to me. Although I’m having trouble achieving Mixed voice. Do you know of any things/exercises that might help trigger it? I’ve saw other people say that mixed voice is basically like the “crying voice” that people do when they cry most of the time. I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

redefinition:
A Voice
B Voice
AB Voice as labels

Definitionally, an A voice is

στήθος-αρχή-ήχος. or transliterated would be stetho-peege-eehose

in English words as, chest sourced sound
pronounced as
ste tho pee gee hoes


the B voice is:

κεφάλι--αρχή-ήχος (transliterated kefáli archee ihos)

Head sourced sound.

the AB Voice is:

στήθος-kαι-κεφάλι--αρχή-ήχος

chest and head sourced sound

pronounciation:
ste tho keh ka phee los

as an adjective, simply add the suffix "ic"

Stethokekaflo-ic

Wow, this was amazing. Most intriguing thing I learned is that singing in a chest voice or head voice is independent of the note. Wow, now that I have seen it I can do it myself. Amazing stuff.

In a vocal class I took this past semester for school, I learned about CT vs TA, but could never remember which did what. Thank you for that clarification!

I'm not sure if I'm already using mixed voices

Blend.

Oh shiiiiiit the way you transitioned between the 3 was incredible!

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.

Hello doktot Dan! Thank you for great videos!
For me mixt voice is a technique a method to sing from the bottom to the top without any problems!

Your CT sound in this video sounds like falsetto which I understand as when the folds stay open as opposed to head voice, used at higher pitch eg heavy metal where folds close and get a strong, loud sound. Do you distinguish between head voice (CT dominant) and falsetto? It seems there are as many points of view as there are accomplished singers/instructors like yourself.

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!

I don't claim to know much about singing, but in case I'm not the only one confused here - the difference in tones demonstrated here sounds to me like it would come from differences in cord closure/adduction? And I thought the gear changes in the voice had mostly to do with pitch. But then I also thought that you didn't have much choice about what gear to be in at a given pitch. So while if I've been mistaken about that, it's good to find out, this video just left me confused. I'm sure the problem's at my end, but am I the only one?

Awesome video sir ..😊

You have not muddied the waters at all. You have shone like that into an area in which there is so much ch confusion. You have genuinely demonstrated that as Andy Follin puts it, the “mix” is not a place in the voice, it is a technique. Thank you.

I haven't seen anyone here on YT being able to explain all of that in such a short, snappy and clear way!

This is such a great explanation--thank you. I've spent the last 4 years working on extending my upper (CT) range, which was probably not the best idea beacuase, now, things are a bit off balance. I can sing in chest (TA), but when I try to trespass over that boundary I get breaks. So HOW, exactly so you sing in mixed/balanced voice and smooth everything out? Can you eliminate vocal breaks or do you just camouflage them? Going down the scale has been especially troublesome for me when it comes to breaks. 😢

Kudos to all vocal coaches..including Dr. Dan...ringing the bell that singing can be a life-long vocation. The medicine/energy in your next song always comes from the journey....even times of silence. Remember to cherish your body instrument and every moment of the journey.

Thank you so much iam satisfied alot
