I get two questions about mixed voice all the time:
"What's an easy way to tell if I'm using mixed voice?" And...
"How can I make it sound better and more usable once I get there?"
In this video, I answer both of these questions in a direct way and give you practical things to practice so that you can actually use your mixed voice in real musical ways!
You must learn the 'sensation of mix' and then operate out of this sensation in order to use it regularly and musically. There are so many possibilities for your voice once you get over this hump of being able to hone in on the sensation. Let me help you!
Here's a deep dive into Connor Mason's vocal style: th-cam.com/video/46YhySCxhLM/w-d-xo.html
So basically I need to practice transitioning from Patrick to SpongeBob
i sound like squidward instead
And South Park
Best analogy ever
sponge from starfish, starfish from sponge
😂😂😂😂 yup!
Great video, Chris! Wow, I'm so glad that I am in your courses.
Hi Chris! Thanks for your useful videos.
I have a question, I have been working I'm my passagio and while I was looking for information I read about a concept called "covered" the sound that have a use in classical singing. The question is, in popular singing, I need cover the sound or just keep with my mix voice?
Or maybe covered the sound while I am in mix?
I'm a little confused.
Thank u so much for your videos, are a blessing to everyone who's studying his voice.
I'm not sure I'd think about it at all... I'd just explore the fringes of the different sounds and sensations you can make and then tweak your approach based on how you sound in recordings. Don't worry about specific techniques or terms. Let your ear and the feedback from your body tell you all you need to know!
Hopefully this isn't too off topic, but does doing impressions help to learn these kinds of techniques? Naturally, I have a deeper voice than Jordan Peterson, but I'm able to (roughly) mimic his voice, so at least to me, that makes a little since applying to the head voice in singing.
Is there a similar thing happening there? Would an impressionist have somewhat of an edge over someone who can't imitate others voices, or does it give some sort of advantage in thinking about how to manipulate the vocal chords to get to those higher notes?
Like I said, hopefully it's not too off topic, but I can't help but thinking that it may help to understand these techniques a little better, a little more quickly if you can do the SpongeBob voice because of it being kind of heady and nasally. Maybe that doesn't make sense, or maybe it does...
FINALLY A VOCAL COACH WHO ACTUALLY FOUND A WAY TO CLEARLY COMMUNICATE WHAT MIXED VOICE FEELS LIKE AND WHERE IT COMES FROM!!!!
I can’t tell you how happy and relieved I am to have heard your teaching because I finally understand it now!!! THANK U SO MUCH!
You're very welcome!
The lead singer of Nothing But Thieves has such a beautiful and emotional upper register, and fantastic control in difficult ranges. Thanks as always for putting this out!!
YES, I agree about NBT!! You're so welcome!
He's all over the place when he sings live, a lot of the time.
@@noimspartacus4357 seen them live a few times and i’m gonna have to disagree
@@Rekzy Wrong sense, bruv. You might have seen them but you should have listened. It's not subjective, if your pitch is not bang on. I'm not hating, I like Conor.
@@noimspartacus4357 I can assure you that I did listen, that is what I was there for…
0:54: That "but before we put the focus" was right on the tempo! Great video as always, Chris, thanks for the advices!
Ha, nice catch on the tempo... That was actually an editing decision on my part haha!
That was cool ,REALLY .
I thought this was gonna turn into rap tutorial for a minute there.
I thought I was the only one who noticed this 😂
Brilliant. I have been chest voicing for ever, and knew there was somewhere else I needed to go with it to make high notes easier. But trying to find it without any input and struggling.
Always learning! thanks for sharing. Back to the mic
😜
Gonna give this a try when I'm alone tomorrow! Last time I tried to find my mixed voice my wife got scared of me 😆
0:54 I love how he somehow keeps tempo with the intro during the segway into the lesson
Hey Chris! Big fan, been watching for nearly 2 years and absolutely love the content you put out! I'm wondering specifically if you could do a stem analysis or just an overall vocal style analysis from Andy Biersack from the Black Veil Brides? He's got a style of tonality and richness that I can't quite figure out. Could be production and layering of the vocals in some places but I'm pretty sure there's some technique to it as well. If this isn't something you'd do in a video, I'd consider booking some time with you to help me emulate that style. I hope you see this comment and let me know :)
Ya, Andy would prolly be a better one to do in the context of a lesson... I have to be careful to put content out that is highly searchable to keep momentum going on the channel. Tags and searchable names are a big way to keep that going. There is probably an audience for him, but I'll have to do some more digging to see if it would be a good fit for a video!
Can u sing with your mix voice ? You've been following him for 2 years but I bet you can't do it
Another idea for a video: could you make one about singing words in mixed voice/belting range? I have no problems reaching and holding a high and long "aaaaaah" or "ooooh" note in mix or belt, but when I have to sing some actual words it just sounds ridiculous 😂 It either sounds very thin and not so powerful as a simple "aaaaah" note or I start to squize.
I can't hit that in chest, only mix, and I'm female..am I crazy? Ofc it does crack but lower haha
ANOTHER EASY TUTORIAL TO FOLLOW! THANK YOU CHRIS! FOR MAKING SINGING EASIER TO LEARN!
My pleasure!!
Though I have a question to ask. It's been circling my mind and I want the answer (explanation) to hear or read from you. That if you're able to see this😅
What range or what place does Maroon 5 lead singer Adam Levine usually registers his voice in most of their songs? Like, you can hear him sing in head voice yet most of the time stays in between chest and head. Well, I guess I had the answer to myself upon writing this😆 But anyway, what can you say about it?
If ever you feel your mix is letting you down, just come to this video to remind yourself of placement. Love this video
Conor Mason is such a master!!! Definitely one of my biggest inspirations. The range of emotions he can communicate is huge. And it always feels natural.
Seen them a few weeks ago live and it was pure magic✨
Thank you for the video! Would love to see you giving us a deeper look behind the magic of Conor Mason‘s singing🙏
Great demonstration! It’s easier to get the sensation of mix with less pleasant sounds. Could you show how you take that sensation with a silly sound and adjust it to a pleasant singing sound while still maintaining the placement/feeling you discovered through the silly one? Or direct me to a video where you’ve already shown this? Thanks! 😊
Great question!
5:41 Spongebob?
hehe
wait woah.. i like accidentally did this before watching the video, but this clarified that i’m doing it right hopefully. next is figuring out how to thicken that spongebob sound.
As a bass 2 i really needed to find my mixed voice! I searched many videos but they never worked and i never understood them!! It was always impossible exercises but this video is the only one that helped me to find my mixed, clearly and understandable!! Now i just need become comfortable and train it!! Thank you so much!!!!
Glad I could help!
Chris! Your prompt about putting the placement further back and getting more nasal, has been so useful for me in my practice. Thanks so much. Josh
Glad it was helpful!
OMF THIS IS PERFECT!
I've been a fan of Nothing But Thieves for years and finally seeing them be recognized makes me so happy!
Plus, I've been looking into mixed voice more recently too! ☺️
I thought I finally felt mixed voice a few days ago but I wasn't sure (didnt feel like a belt nor pure falsetto, felt like its own register tbh). Then you uploaded this video and now im pretty sure its mixed. I think I need to work on the consistency breath pressure/air flow though because ill start to get more and more wobbly as I practice (might've gotten too excited that I was getting somewhere and went a little too hard lmao). Rest assured ill be bingeing your air flow and neck tensions videos :) - also the free vocal lessons are great definitely helped learning the support mechanics.
Great to hear!
Comment for da algorithm

Thanks for another amazing video! Curious question: is an example of mixed voice seen in the way SpongeBob talks?
lol thanks for teaching me death metal vocals
Great Video! Thank you
Serious question: How do you "beef up" a thinned out voice when you are singing metal in the likes of Dickinson, Tate or Dio?
Not so serious question: Did anyone else just noticed the two Chrises on the glass in the back??
th-cam.com/video/cH6hj9uLYwE/w-d-xo.html Chris has a video here about beefing up your mixed voice this would be a great place to start!
Check out my video on "How to Get Thick Mix" and... HAHA
@@chrisliepe Thank you Chris! Cheers!
Hey Chris, enjoy the videos they are good for my style of learning to sing. Is mixed voice what Axl Rose used when he had that super nasal tone in Guns n roses? Simlar idea with Acdc and maybe Layne Staley when he pushed higher? Still trying to understand what mixed is.
Absolutely yes. All mixed voice! :)
great tips chris! got a lot out of your and spencers course! Would love to hear your thougts on Vessel from Sleep Token. Amazing live perfomance of Bloodsport to dive in his vocal range. =)
Really like Sleep Token!
so it's similar to stitch's voice, from lilo & stitch! hahahaha
Been watching for a while Chris.. great lesson! I'm able to increase my range in our original tunes by practicing and utilizing this technique! You rock dude!
That's awesome to hear Dave!
Hey Chris, I was wondering if you could analyze Alex Turners voice from Artic Monkeys. Hes a really cool baritone singer
0:53 had a dope flow to it. Was that intentional? haha
hehe... yes :) !!
Haha OMG!
I just noticed the thinned out head voice part sounds like Mathesar from Galaxy Quest (how he talks) (Captain, you are our last hope) lol
Hey Chris, question, is mixed voice always a bit louder? I just discovered your channel recently and I’ve been watching everything, really enjoying and having fun practicing some super high screaming I never knew I could do without destroying my voice. Bit sometimes I wonder if my neighbours think I’m some kind of prisoner screaming for help lol, but I don’t see how I could practice this quieter, at least super high notes in mixed voice (I can do quieter in head or whistle singing). Thanks for the amazing videos!
You’re welcome! Yes mixed voice is always a bit louder and more present :)
Thanks! Maybe I’ll have to try singing with my trumpet mute in my mouth lol (it’s probably not gonna work hahah!) Oh well the neighbours will have to deal with my screaming hahah. Cheers!
A bit off-topic and just a personal opinion: I really like your technique (not to mention your teaching), but as for your timbre/sound/tone, I just have a different taste (I'm more of a Gillan/Dio/Coverdale fangirl). So far! That NBT song suits your voice so damn well, I love (your voice in) it! Anyways - keep up the good work!
Guys if you haven’t find your mix it means you need to strengthen your head voice and your bridge is not well balance you’ll need to learn how to pass from the third octave to the fourth octave without any break and minimum air flow
If you do it the right way and on a regular base I can guarantee in few months your mix voice will comes by itself.
🗝
Omg Connor, the singer of NBT is literally my favourite singer. More breakdowns of him please!!! :)
He's one of my favs at the moment!
I had the pleasure of listening to them live recently and it was such a great experience
I know you’ve done a lot on MCR but I really think you should look at their first album, as his scream technique is really prominent and he’s still very much developing.
I love short and concrete videos like this one! Makes it easier for my adhd hahaha
hey chris! i loved this tutorial! thanks for helping me out with unlocking my vocals! also i love how ur studio is acoustically treated can you please make a video about that too cuz i really wanna setup my own mini studio at my house and i really want the acoustic treatment and sound panelling to be perfect! thanks!
Thanks! I made a video about my studio over on the recording revolution channel. Check them out when you get a chance :) !!
this video is so helpful! The idea of the posture of mixed voice really helps me feel it! wondering if you have any video on the singer from title fight, specifically the song numb but i still feel it. trying to get that sound without just destroying my voice! thanks chris you are the man!!
this is the video that did it for me
so it means that the mixed belt is something between forward and that nasally back placement.
Yes!
Was just looking for a video how to sing like Pink, as I assume she uses her mixed voice a lot? and then this video alert came. Thanks!
Also a Pink analysis would be very much appreciated!
I double second this notion!
ya thats a great idea!
AirPods just died on the bus as you sang “what do we do when the power’s out”
Guess I’ll just suffer til I’m home
haha... strange!! and kinda cool!
I don't know if that's because I was practicing from time to time, or because of numerous videos from you on mixed voice - "Little Joe", "Stairway to Heaven" examples, but this particular way of achieving mixed voice works pretty good. Sounds nothing like yours ,though, still much thinner when I go higher ,and gets little bit too squeaky when I try to add some compression. But it FEELS great as long as I'm doing it clean, no pain whatsoever.
Song at the beginning was cooool
Oh my god! THANK YOU CHRIS!!! You finally covered the one artist I have been clamouring for you to break down. I cannot thank you enough for all your effort and love your put in for making each and every one of these videos. Like I have said before and will continue to say for ages to come. Thank You Guruji for your infinite wisdom and education! Keep rocking!!
I did this one awhile ago too! Enjoy! th-cam.com/video/46YhySCxhLM/w-d-xo.html
I don't get how you still have anything left to teach in your courses dude. I'm pretty sure you got every foundation covered in your TH-cam videos alone. Took me 6 years with lots of yours and Ken's videos but I'm finally properly dialing my head voice. I gotta finish your course eventually tho 🤣
There’s so much more detail and structure and interaction in my courses! :)
Pro Tip: Watch Brandon from Incubus or Alanis Morrissette....they sick their tongue almost out of their mouths. It makes belty open vowel head voice notes way easier to hit. Almost shockingly so, for me at least.
Edit: Ha Ha Ha Ha go look at the thumbnail for Wish You Were Here
how do you reduce pressure without sacrificing support?
Have you joined my free course linked in the video description yet? That will be the start to the answer you are looking for :)
A woman in another video said u have to approach from ur bridge to find ur mix, but what am I doing when I give ‘’body power’’ to my headvoice ? Is that an entirely different thing ? I am so confused ! I watch video upon video and I can’t figure it out.. U explain things so well chris, but I don’t know exactly what I’m doing 😅
chris, thank you some much! your lessons have been really helpful as a complement to my singing classes. cheers!
Great to hear!
This is good! One question as to the terminology: I've heard "pretty much anyone can pull chest" to a B4" (SJ said it). Is that just another expression for "mixed voice" or is "pulling chest" actually a technique of expanding normal chest voice?
The idea of "pulling chest" actually gets in the way of entering mixed voice for most singers... This has been my experience anyway. Check out my video on "How Mixed Voice Should Feel" ... And... this one: th-cam.com/video/cH6hj9uLYwE/w-d-xo.html
@@chrisliepe Thank you!
@@anog999 Thanks and yes.
watching you analyzing singers makes me imagine you making a video of you analyzing voice actors...
thanks for the tutorial btw
Oh damn, I'd love seeing analysis of Frank Welker or Billy West.
Please, Can you do a vídeo explsin a vídeo about Connor Mason, in the song " excuse me" of nothing but thieves live.
Sorry for the english
i think Chris Cornell does this same placement in incessant mace even when he sings low
Exactly!!
Excellent lesson Chris, as always! You rock.
На у-у-у в money, money, money, будто запись кита 😂 а так в целом звук Шуры чисто t-воу-reyyy d-об-rooooh. Ну а вообще выглядит, будто какая-то фишка, чтоб завируситься, но слишком затянулась и применяется неуместно в 100% случаев
А так бы мне хоть немного ее раскрепощенности отсыпали 😅
Thank you for taking the time out to make this video. Slowly but surely my power levels are rising and it feels great
Ngl chris is the best vocal coach I’ve come across. He explains so much in depth and is super detailed. This video helped me get to my mixed voice and now I can sing almost any song that I want. Thank you Chris 💪🏿 💯
Wow. This one tutorial is so helpful!!
Thank you for your videos, Chris! This approach to mixed voice reminds me a lot of the way Mike Patton sang during his early years. It would be very interesting and helpful if you analyzed and unpacked his voice in songs like Falling to Pieces. Again, thanks so much for your content!
Saw Connor, instantly had to click!!
th-cam.com/video/46YhySCxhLM/w-d-xo.html
I loved your voice doing Nothing but thieves
Thank you! Connor is one of my favs right now... so much texture and emotion!
Simply the best… As usual. Voice got stuck for months, unlocking now
NICE
Sir, I'm almost 59, have been taking voice lessons for a few years off and on with different teachers every few months. It's been a little frustrating, as I have a low chest voice "break" note/area and can easily sing high soprano in head voice; it's a bummer when I want to sing almost any song, as I didn't really get instruction (other than "cry" and a bunch of voice exercises that I couldn't connect to singing) on how that could happen... I don't know why I didn't find you sooner, but I've been watching about 8 vids of yours since yesterday, and the way you teach "fits" with me, and I am excited to learn and do more. SO HAPPY to have found you. Funny too that you have an obvious style (which is not mine), but every teacher has something to give, I believe. Thank you, and hi from Canada!
damn never knew this was mixed voice,
my singing coach always called it singing sharp lmao
My mixed voice feels like it’s not higher tho
im trying to learn mixed voice and i can consistently go to high notes from chest voice without breaks but it always sounds very distorted and axle rose-y but nothing ive tried has been able to get rid of that distortion
What is the difference between falsetto and ‘head voice’? Other than pushing harder? For example, on Tom Petty’s Free Falling, in the chorus he sounds like he’s pushing harder than falsetto, but seems far from belting.
I’ve done a video on this very thing! th-cam.com/video/hCmeW_NWlHE/w-d-xo.html
Please do Tommy Karevik from Seventh Wonder!!!
Some animation on what is happening inside your voice anatomically would bring your instruction to next level.
Sounds like Mixed voice is good for singing live and belting is better to be done in studio
This is a very weak sounding mixed voice.
Been listening to Live, lately the singer does a lot of cool stuff with changing resonance. Would be interested is seeing your reaction to him!
You are a great singer... You should do your album..
Love that you did one on this guy. So talented a singer
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you so much 🙏 Sir 🙏🙏😊
Hey Chris, awesome video! Your videos have revolutionized how I sing. I’m a big skid row fan, and as I’m singing along to Skid Row throughout my day, when I kick into my mixed voice (I use the fry technique to understand how to feel it right) it seems to be really rough, Sebastian Bach from skid row seems like he can control both his notes, and how rough his mixed voice sounds. Would that come with more practice? Or am I missing something?
Well I guess gravely would be a better term to use for how it sounds.
So glad you're back on NBT. You did a video on Connor before and there was so much more to unpack. Amazing, thanks.
My pleasure!
I was thinking, for one of your shorts a breakdown of the crescendo at the end of I’m Not Made By Design would be interesting. There’s falsetto, mix, full, vibrato and distortion in one phrase.
Trip switch a very good song
Chris, I should headphones when watching your videos. I’m getting strange looks from my neighbours what with your comic character voicing 🤭
hehe... yes, wise!
YESS thank you for putting some more conor mason content
You're welcome! He's one of my favs :) !!
Nice to see you are still around here teaching us good stuff Chris!
now I can hear that nasal resonance in every song with high notes.
Hey, Chris. I'm having a hard time distinguishing this concept from larynx position. As you go from "thicker" to "thinner", it sounds a lot like Goofy to Bugs. However, my instinct tells me that there's more to it?
It's really a floating larynx. Let it do what comes natural as you work through the different thinner/thicker postures. Sometimes it may feel as if it raises as you go "thinner" but doesn't have to and we shouldn't force it or think about it that way. We should let it be free as we focus on the other resonant attributes.
Is that nasality an absolute requirement to get into mixed voice? Or is it just one of a few methods of achieving it?
Not a requirement but helpful!
This is the ONLY video on youtub i've seen that has actually helped me with this. Great ezplaning dude! Thank you. All I have to do now is practice:)
You're welcome!
When i do this my larynx skyrockets and i get a feeling of hoarseness, what do I do wrong?
You're trying to use your larynx height to help you with pitch... Never works. You are also not using your support correctly. Have you joined my free course linked in the video description? I can help you further!
Singing hack! Ear plugs. Put in ear plugs and it's more obvious where the resonation is coming from. Head..nose ...chest. Find your mix by literally mixing those resonances together. Keep those ear plugs in and work on tone enunciation. If you can sing good softly...it will sound better loud.
Tape doesn't lie...record record record...your singing and sense of dynamics will grow quickly. 😊
And listen to Jeff Buckley.
This man is a mad underrated singer 😂🙏❤
thank you I found my mix!
Great video Chris!! Great explanation for mixed voice, and how to apply it. I love your videos, and listening to you sing too!!
Thanks Jamie!!
@@chrisliepe My pleasure. I really mean it too. It is the truth.
6:15 sounds like Serj Tankian
nice way to explain that, i've benn figuring out how to explain that thing... thank u bro!
Sure thing!
