I'm thrilled to present my new personalized vocal program SINGING IGNITION!
www.singingignition.com
SINGING IGNITION is a revolutionary self-study singing program that lets you practice techniques and exercises customized for you...wherever and whenever you want!
The basic problem with a video or audio recording, whether on TH-cam or a self-study course, is it can’t give you the valuable feedback you need! They can’t determine what your voice specifically needs, curate the exercises that will work for you, and then adjust the exercises according to how your voice reacts.
That’s what a good voice teacher does. They tailor the content of their lessons to your needs.
But maybe you aren’t ready to commit to regular lessons. Or maybe you just can’t afford a voice teacher right now. Times are tough!
So you're stuck either booking a voice teacher, which can get expensive and has limited hours. Or you are forced to use a self-study course that can’t really give you the feedback you need to excel...
...and maybe you just don't feel comfortable quite yet, sharing your talent with anyone else!
Finally, all of this has been solved by the revolutionary new system SINGING IGNITION!

Thank you for those timestamps.
@@SpencerWelchVocalStudio No problem! Thanks to you for being so helpful!
Just another video trying to get you to make silly noises to embarrass yourself. Human vocal cords are incapable of making more than one sound at once. I feel like these guys are probably laughing at us when the cameras go off.
Yes, that 300-year-old tradition of using "silly noises" like voce finta and the pharyngeal voice to train great singers through the ages was actually just a giant cosmic joke. A gold star to you, dear sir, for uncovering the grand teaching conspiracy. Slow clap.
"Human vocal cords are incapable of making more than one sound at once." Lalah Hathaway's polyphony, Mongolian throat singers, and the two formants in every vowel would disagree with you, but then you knew that.
Finding it and using it to sing are two completely different things 😢
Yes, that's true. Finding it is the first step, but then you have to train your voice to find it (and LIVE in it) on every word on every high note at every volume in every song. Click here for a mix voice workout to help you develop it further: th-cam.com/video/IGoRueDvIvA/w-d-xo.html

True
I have found my mixed voice thanks to this video, I think I've been using it before in some cases but never knew that it was my mixed voice but now I know what it actually is. Now it's time for the hard part training and singing in my mixed voice
@@oforiarcher002 I’m so glad. Now good luck with the hard work of training your voice.
Oh wow. When you demonstrated the laugh, I laughed too and found my mixed voice. I sang the chorus of “Hurt” by Christina Aguilera so easily😭😭thank you!!
Amirah Farzana OMG I’m blown away that my video helped you like this 😃
I love xtina
Wow
Wish it was that easy for me jajsjsjs
The HEY and the OOO did it for me. It also took the anxiety out of it...I say them fine..Mucho Gracia
Glad to hear that. These tools work because they help you get past the fear of sounding "bad", in the process, allowing you to develop a new coordination you thought you could do.
He is one of the best mentors for vocal teachers. I am glad to work with Spencer.
Thank you so much, Film. You are amazing!
I’ve had a rough week of not being able to “unlock” my mixed voice like usual. It’s crucial if you are singing songs like Jane by Jefferson Starship. The Fargo “oh” helped me find it immediately and lose all that tension + frustration that was building up. This was a life saver. Thanks!
Wow I'm so happy to hear that it helped you like that. Are you a regular gigging musician then?
After being in quarantine without my vocal teacher THANK YOU! I’ve been wondering what truly is my mixed voice and these exercises helped me! :’))
That's wonderful to hear! You're very welcome! You might want to consider taking online lessons during quarantine. They work great!
This was soooo helpful !!! Thank you so much !!! all of the exercises were helpful especially the last one for me !!!
Thanks for speaking slowly and the good pronunciation. I'm from Brazil and that makes me to understand. Good Job!
Oh you're very welcome! I teach a lot in other countries where English is their second language, so I guess I have learned to speak slowly and simply 🙂
the hey worked so well for me!! THANK YOU SO MUCHHHHA ^^
Oh that makes me so happy! My pleasure! 😀
Best explanation and examples - you are a great teacher. I really like the "Hey"
Thanks so much for the compliment! I'm happy it helped.
The 'oh" definitely helped me the most :) Thank you sm!!!
You are so welcome! I'm happy it helped you :)
I am all about Fargo "OHHHHH" now. What a great useful video! Now I can annoy my dog even more when I am singing and cleaning without hurting my voice too much. I usually just jump to falsetto and it kinda hurts after a song or two
Sail Financial your dog thanks you haha! I’m so glad you found it helpful. OHHHhhhh yeah.
your editing is everything😩 and it helped me a lot, i can sing the highest note ive ever sung before
Thank you, and I'm so glad! What kind of music do you like to sing?
Thank you so much. I’m struggling to find my mixed voice. These tips are so easy to understand
Fabulous! Keep practicing and working toward your mix voice. If you get stuck, we're here to help 🙂
It appears I’ve been using my mixed voice regularly all this time without realizing it. Which is unfortunate because I thought mixed voice was the key to extending my range. As a baritone high notes have always been a goal of mine, and it’s sad that this apparently isn’t my solution.
Hi Josh, on what notes do you feel your mix voice coming in?
#1. How do you know you're a baritone, since so many men are misdiagnosed tenors? Years ago, I was told I was a baritone simply because I was only comfortable in my chest voice, but really I was just an undeveloped tenor. There ARE true baritones out there, but not because they only sing in chest.
#2. What notes are you trying to extend your range to? Even if you are a true baritone, all my baritone students vocalize up to high C and learn to sing G4 (sometimes up to A4 if they are lyric baritones) with a mix/full head voice in songs.
Spencer Welch Vocal Studio From what I can tell, my mix kicks in around F4. And currently my max range (not prima voce) is around C2-A5. I don’t have a specific range goal in mind, I just really want to push it a little higher, as I still struggle to hit the high notes on allot of the music I listen to, and have to change the key.
Yes, your mix voice should kick in starting around Eb-E4 and extend upwards from there. Then it will be a matter of developing it so that you can lean into that mix in your upper notes. Start at a medium to lighter volume and then start to crescendo on those notes. Try this Mix Voice Workout to continue extending and developing it: th-cam.com/video/IGoRueDvIvA/w-d-xo.html
Spencer Welch Vocal Studio I’ll give it a go, thank you!
@@joshwalker2453 I assume you mean A4, because there ain’t no guy singing up to A5 who has range problems. 😂
I like how you blend the two elements that I want to a coach. Humor plus Passion on teaching, and sharing their crafts to their students. Coz of that I hit the sub button and notifi bell.❤️😍
Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words, and I'll work to keep more content with humour and passion coming your way :)
Yehey! 💖 Thank Coach Spencer looking forward for that!😍
The information you share is totally mesmerizing to me!
Thanks, I'm so glad!
YOU ARE FREAKING AWESOME. ALL WERE FREAKING AMAZING AND FINALLY I FOUND IT. GRACIAS SENOR. OKAY IM BOOKING NOW!
Awesome, look forward to working with you! Here's the link to book private coaching with me:

Great work Spencer! You've got a lovely style on video! :)
Thanks so much!
Thank you! I finally found my mixed voice using the "Fargo oh" technique. I found myself being able to slide to anywhere in my vocal range without any voice cracks! Not with that much force or a very good tone, but that'll hopefully improve with practice!
How long did it take you?
How long did it take you?
Thanks man! The only genuine video on youtube...
Wow, high praise! 🙏
Great humorous approach with real life examples. Thank you
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it :)
I can’t tell if I’m doing a mixed voice, or a high chest voice
There is sometimes a confusion around this. Unfortunately, I can't hear what you are doing, so I can't guess if it is mixed or chest voice.
Here are some guidelines: to check whether you are moving from chest voice into mixed voice instead of pulling up chest voice, see if you can sing higher (E4-G4 range) without changing your volume, changing the vowel, or losing the pitch. If you can sing into the mixed voice range without getting louder than the bottom notes, without widening your vowel in the least, or singing flat in pitch then chances are you doing something correctly. If you have to get louder or wider or flat, then chances are there is too much chest voice in this upper range.
Singers can often do one or two of these correctly at once, but few can do all three (even volume, pure vowel, accurate pitch) at the same time.
Thanks for watching! So did this video help you with finding your mix voice? Which of the 3 tips was most effective for you? Please comment below 😊
Thank you Sir you're just amazing I just watch you today and I'm so happy that I found your video :)
I really want to become a good singer.
My pleasure!

Thank you sir.My English just so so.I Love singer and i am from China.So,i dont kown my vocal way ,right or not.
Look forward to you reply. That is my pleasure.🍕🍕
Can you coach me?
I watched tons of videos on how to find the mix voice and this is literally the only video showed the shortest way to find it. I found option 3 as the most helpful. Training how to sing with it is the second step
Wow, I'm so glad this was the one that worked for you! What style of music do you sing and are you able to find mix voice sometimes in your songs?
You're awesome, super charismatic and on point.
Aww, thank you so much! 😀
Oh my god, you genius, I just found it using the Hey method. Once you get the feeling and where its coming from, going back to it was so much easier (Never been able to do it before). Its going to need work, lots of excercise, but this enabled me to sing the first verse of Bohemiam Rhapsody using all voices. Started in Chest, went to head, then on the Mamaaaaa, used the mix, never been able to do it before, and over did it and hit the mix note very loud, no strain, absolutely incredible, over the moon, thanks so much. Its a good feeling, because when you do it, you feel where it is coming from, its not a neck strain note at all, but feels like its coming just above your vocal chords in your throat, only way I could describe it. Subscribed, and looking forward to more videos.
Wow, this is exciting! Mix voice is going to unlock aspects of your singing that previously felt unattainable. Thanks for your feedback...I make these videos for people like you and the breakthrough you described. Keep it up!
@@SpencerWelchVocalStudio I am keeping things up and really enjoying it, been going for 6 weeks now across various videos on the internet. Learnt all about breath support, chest voice, belting, my head voice and doing 30 minutes of excercises per day, but never really got the mix voice part until today. Prior to this, singing higher notes was screechy, the only way I could put it, as usually either sung in a light head voice or did a bad habbit of singing from the neck and felt the pressure (Bad I know), but both sounded odd as the levels were too different in one, and screechy in the other. My Daughter asked me how things were going, and went into the passage tonight as didnt want to annoy the neighbours, and just sung the Mammaaa bit again. I hit the note very easy, pretty loud, and looked at her and put my arms out and shrugged my shoulders to say, "This is pretty easy", no strain. She was amazed at the difference, but now I'm going to follow your other video with Mix Voice Excercises and work on that for a couple of months, because at the moment, I otherthink the mix voice as my mind is telling me, "You can't hit that note" and at times I'm locking up and not hitting it and loosing it briefly until I relax into it again. Its all just a bit of a shock to the system and I'm 50 years old now, and wish I discovered all this 30 years ago :S
This is so great to hear! I know all about that "wish I knew this 30 years ago" sentiment, but hey, us old dogs can learn new tricks ;)
Thank you so much sir for giving us this singing lessons ..god bless.
You are so welcome!!
best video I've watched on finding mixed voice, thanks a lot!
Wow, thanks!
I just discovered your channel. Love it. And loved the tips you gave on the mixed voice. Thanks.
Glad you found my channel and are finding it useful :)
Just what I was looking for!!
Your Majesty Amazing! I’m so glad 😊
And just by watching this video I learned mixed voice in a matter of 10 minutes. Thanks!
Wow, for some people it takes perseverance and months of training. And some get almost immediately. Happy for you!
I found mine on the "hey" greeting 😀, thank you very much, I have a performance soon and this gave me confidence
Thank you!! I love it!!
I accidentally found my mixed voice a few weeks ago while trying to sing All You Wanna Do from six and yea let's just say i was *shook* it's still kinda weak sometimes but it's improved my voice so much just from discovering it
A happy accident then! 😀 Mixed voice will change your life!
Great video man. Gonna work on finding my mix voice!
Yay! Stay tuned for my next video with some exercises to help develop mix.
Wow!!! I’m so excited I found your channel! I wish I watched this video yesterday BEFORE I decided to spontaneously burst into song in my last video! Hahaha I’m excited I found your channel!!
Hahaha now I have to go find this spontaneous singing of which you speak. Thanks so much!
that was fun to listen and yet i learned a lot..
thanks for such a nice explaination..
😂 It's great that I found you too. It's amazing how you explain I find it by hey!
Welcome, I'm so glad you're here :)
Thank you, especially how to do a lip trill. I have never been able to do this until now!
Well that's amazing that I was a part of teaching you how to do a lip trill. That exercise is a game-changer.
You just saved my life! Thank you so much! U just got a new subscriber! With the bell on😁!!!
Fabulous to hear! So glad it was helpful :)
Thank you Spencer! Cheers from Brazil 🇧🇷
My pleasure! And I love Brazil 😊
Me watching your vid: Laughing in mixed voice.

It's so unreal that the fact we always using mix voice in daily conversation. Good job Mr.Spencer now I found my mixed voice! It's time for developing it! Thank you so much!
That's so great you've made that discovery! Happy practicing 😀
Yep. Lip Trills helped me the most in my singing. Just going down from the top of my head voice down to the lowest of my chest voice all the while trying to focus on lightening the weight around the 'break' area as I go back and forth. Overtime, the bridge between the two started to disappear slowly and slowly then one day I started to hear the balance of tone in my voice. Back then, my low range would be heavy and my high range would be lighter but now I can go from my low range to belting up without changing the weight and without increasing the volume.
Amazing! You worked it out, which not everyone is able to do on their own. Kudos! You're basically describing the process that I outline in this video:
How to Erase Your Vocal Break th-cam.com/video/I_w549666r0/w-d-xo.html
Great video, thanks Spencer!! :D
Thanks, Geoffmobile! Did the exercises in the video work for you?
I like the oh and hey about as equally well. I learned a trick by not forcing the notes up with volume and push, and to be gentle and maintain the even flow and pressure and to just stretch the vocal chords according to pitch.
That's exactly right. If you can keep 1) even volume with a 2) pure vowel on 3) accurate pitch you must be doing something correctly.
I laughed the entire video in my mixed voice, thanks Spencer!
Nice! Laughter is the best medicine during these uncertain times.
Really Appreciated 😍
My pleasure!
😂 Dude is hilarious ! All 3 ways helped me along with the colors analogy. Thanks a whole heap man ! 🎉
Glad you liked it, and it helped out! What would you like to improve in your singing?
@SpencerWelchVocalStudio well thanks for asking ! Actually I'm a baritone with some tenor I guess. I believe from chest voice to higher notes I'll change into falsetto abruptly.
THIS IS SOOOO GOLD!!!
Thank you! Glad you liked it 😊
The 'Oh' made it for me. I still don't know if I do it right, but thank you!
Great! And you're welcome 😀
I love the fact the he replies to each and every comment. Let's see.
What and you thought you'd be the exception? 😂😀
@@SpencerWelchVocalStudio nice one 👌
The lip trill was very useful, thanks so much!
Glad you liked it...what would you like to improve in your voice?
This helped me alot. The 'hey' method helped me.
Heeeyyyy, that's great to hear! 😉
thank you.... I just found it with the Fargo "O" I love you maaaann!!!!!!!
Oh amazing! So happy for you and that my video helped you find it. Now keep practicing and developing your mix voice.
Practice along to my "7 Minute Mix Voice Workout" video to build it every day: th-cam.com/video/IGoRueDvIvA/w-d-xo.html
@@SpencerWelchVocalStudio yes thank you very much!!!
My pleasure!
Tips start at 4:01
And also i found my mixed voice through this 💖💖
Great to hear!
you explain everything perfectly! very affordable.
Cool, man, thanks!
Now we can only hope that I really got it right.
Found a mixvoise through a trill.
Greetings from Russia
You're welcome. Glad it helped!
You rock man! Thanks!
Thanks so much! What kind of music do you sing?
So I was just going up and down on the “ya” vowel and got to a point where I could slide up to a B4 without flipping! (Note I’m a teen guy) it’s kinda quiet and raspy right now but is that my mixed voice? If so, I’ll work on strengthening it
It's impossible to know for sure without hearing you and working with you in a lesson. But if you are starting in your chest voice and smoothly moving up there without flipping or pushing, then it's probably worth looking into.
This video is so helpful! Thank you so much. I've been singing for a long time now and I never exactly knew how to use mixed voice but after using the Canadian "ooo-OOO-oooh".
A quick tid-bit for people wanting to learn to add grit to their singing voice texture is to use the mixed voice (after finding it with these great techniques!) and lean into it a bit using the diaphragm to compress the air further, giving the note that gritty rock/blues sound without any of the pain or damage to the folds. Just be careful when trying it and if it hurts at all or makes the singer cough, then stop to rest and hold off for a few days on trying again.
Great, I'm glad it helped you. Always count on the Canadian OH haha.
Yes, please be careful with using more air pressure to achieve grit, since additional air pressure is the #1 way singers can end up with edema (swelling) and eventually vocal damage if they don't stop and allow the folds to recover. Finding a rattle in the vocal fold closure or allowing the false folds to vibrate can be a safer choice. As in all things vocal, always be sensitive to any initial irritation and nip it in the bud quickly.
very clear and helpful very good Job! thanks
Thank you! Happy it helped you.
The "Hey!" and the Fargo "OH!" both work well for me. I struggle with lip trills. Thanks Spencer. nice explanation.
Glad they worked! I have a video coming out soon about how to do a lip trill.
The "OH" tip was the best one hahahah
I love the OH! What would you like to improve about your voice?
4:33 when i did this my voice breaks when i tried to go from low to high😩
That's totally ok. Don't be afraid of breaking since you need to feel out and get familiar with the bottom and top of your voice before you can find the middle.
Try out my video "How to Erase Your Break" which has exercises that will target that break: th-cam.com/video/I_w549666r0/w-d-xo.html
Bro I’ve been trying to teach myself how to sing for years and this is the first video I’ve seen that’s actually worked to find my mixed voice
Wow great to hear!
Brilliantly FUNNY explanation. Love the humour. Very useful and helpful info this!
Thanks a lot! So glad you enjoyed it. What would you like to improve in your voice?
What happens when my voice still cracks into a head voice when I try all the techniques? Is there a way to try to prevent that?
Without hearing you and working with you, it's hard to know why your voice might be cracking (there can be many reasons.) Your vocal cords may be losing closure suddenly for an assortment of reasons. You can try this video to improve your closure and erase the break: th-cam.com/video/I_w549666r0/w-d-xo.html
Im trying... hope it can come cuz Im really trying for years to improve... people say lots of stuff about singing and then I get crazy.. your tongue, for example, is not relaxed like steven tyler when he hits high notes... then I just wonder if the tongue should be in an ideal position or if it makes no difference at all... Steven Tyler also get his shoulders up when taking air, what lots of singing teachers say you should not do... probably I will have to accept my voice as it is even with that almost blowing my mind... it's like a math question you cant understand, that problem you will never solve. But thanks. Ill keep trying...
If you listen to every person with an opinion about singing, and try to do what they say, you will drive yourself mad. It's important to find a trained, certified voice teacher who can give you advice and training that is tailored to your needs. How will you know if it's good advice? Because it works, and you will get results.
love your videos str8 to the point
Glad you like them!
Wow I wish I had this video years ago. What a masterpiece!
Wow, that is high praise. Thank you so much!
I’m 17 and male and I’ve been singing for about a year now. When I try these exercises my voice either pulls my chest, or when I focus on maintaining a low volume, it breaks. I just can’t figure out how to pop into my mix.
Mix voice doesn't come naturally to a lot of people. I was one of those people. You probably just need specialized feedback and guidance from a voice teacher. I wasted years trying to learn how to do this on my own...and then I met my teacher, and he helped find it.
If you don't have a teacher already, my studio offers a 20-min trial Skype lesson for only $15:
spencerwelch.com/ko-trial-lesson
Annoying, I'm still pulling my chest when saying "hey" or "oh". I dont know hiw to initiate that 'mixed voice'. 😩
Two things:
1. Mix voice doesn't come naturally to a lot of people, myself included. You might have such strong habits that you need to work with a good voice teacher to guide you through the process. Like me, you could watch 100 videos and still not get it because you need personal feedback and customized exercises for your situation. In the end, that was the only way I got it.
2. If you tend to pull up your chest voice that much, you might want to put off trying to find mix voice and just focus on developing your head voice for a while. Here's a great video to start with:
Male Vocal Workout for Head Voice
th-cam.com/video/1k20kiqRL9k/w-d-xo.html
And here's a video to teach you more about Head Voice:
th-cam.com/video/iW3vUlaplQE/w-d-xo.html
You are a GENIUS!! I just found it
Wow, that's so exciting! I'm happy that I could help you. What type of music are you singing?
Great video ! Thanks for that.
My pleasure! What would you like to improve about your voice?
I wish I could sing! Is there any hope for me?! Great video.
Thank you and great question! Stats say only 5% of the population is actually tone deaf, so almost anyone can learn how to sing. It's a skill like learning to paint or play the piano. What kind of music would you love to sing (if you could)? :)
Damn I literally can't get it, I've tried everything lol
It's ok, don't stress :) Mix doesn't come easily to many people, and they need one-on-one training to develop it. Obviously I'd have to hear you to know, but it may be that you have some strong habits that prevent you from being able to relax and find mix voice on your own. I was that way, and I had to train with a great vocal coach for a few years before my mix was easy and strong.
Thanks Spencer!
My pleasure, Jay. See you in Europe soon!
you almost had me, i almost thought all you wanted was for me to get better. i thought that you understood that by waking up in the morning (if I'm serious about being who I really a) that you would just teach me the tools I needed to grow. but instead you offer a class which I'm guessing costs money, meaning everything about being worth more than gold every time i wake up was just a fairytale. and the reality is...well, I'm not good enough... unless I pay...
Love, who you really are
You almost had me. I almost thought you were a person who would recognize how much work and money it takes to make a video where I offer FOR FREE knowledge that I have paid 10's of thousands of dollars to learn over 30 years of university, conferences, and voice lessons (at $300/hour!), and be grateful. But apparently, it's not enough, and I should give you everything I know for free and pay my mortgage with TH-cam likes.
If you are really serious about learning this, then you will be willing to make the necessary sacrifices and pay people what they're worth when they bring value into your life. Expecting everything for free has nothing to do with you being "good enough." It's just entitlement, and it is a fairytale.
Because you ARE good enough and worth more than gold, change your frame of mind and invest in yourself. It doesn't have to be me, I'm not here to sell you my course or my private coaching. If you see the value, invest in it. If you don't, keep looking. But value yourself enough to invest in your dreams.
@@SpencerWelchVocalStudio thank you so much for helping me
i discovered my mixed voice when you laughed and i laughed along haha - i was so sure you were going to make that the first tip. is there any reason why that's a bad indicator?
That's great that you found mix voice with the high-pitched laugh I demonstrated. There are many different tools, some of which work for some people and not for others. So in hopes of including at least one that would work for the viewer, I included three tips/tools in this video, with laughter being the unofficial fourth 😉
Can't stop laughing at the falsetto "oh"
Like a surprised Mrs. Doubtfire 😂😂
"Oh" was the easiest to me. Thank you for this video and tips!
Glad it helped!
The "hey and "ooh" parttt omggg thankss♥️♥️😭😭
My pleasure! I'm glad they worked so well for you :)
Hey Spencer! The “O” seems to be the easiest way to find my mixed voice. Tell me, should it feel like a mix of chest base and slightly nasal?
Everyone feels things a little differently, but yes, it might feel like it's lifting behind your nose. It's ok if it's a little nasal at first, but we just don't want to push it into the nose.
Check out my mix voice workout to put this into action more: th-cam.com/video/IGoRueDvIvA/w-d-xo.html
how do you know you found it? cause when i sing in my head voice with a lot of twang it's like i found it but i'm not sure.
You've found it when you're able to sing from your chest voice up into the range of A4-C5, while keeping the same vowel, the same volume, and good intonation. If you use a lot of twang in your head voice, you could be getting the beginnings of a mix, but with an unfinished tone, i.e. you sound twangy. A more finished mix will have the natural colour of your voice (with balanced bass and treble) similar to your speaking voice.
Check out my video "7-Minute Mix Voice Workout" to see how I move from a twangy NAY to a more finished MUM: th-cam.com/video/IGoRueDvIvA/w-d-xo.html
the ohhhh thank you so much!♥️
So great to hear! What would you like to improve about your voice?
Great video! Helped a lot!!!
22 Faces So happy to hear that! 😃
Hey I've always been good at doing mixed voice and head voice. I think it's because I have a higher voice for a guy so I was always playing around with my voice. I just wondering how I can make my mix sound more chesty like some of these singers. Mine sounds very much like adam Lamberts haha it would be cool to have a mix like Freddie mercury or Brendon urie. Any advice?
Singing with a chestier mix is a highly sought-after skill, but it is a subtle thing to develop which many students don't achieve properly because they don't have the patience. Power doesn't come from pushing or muscling your way into something louder. It's about using resonance and vowel tuning to get the maximum with the minimum effort. This usually requires training with an experienced teacher because the student will often need feedback from a trained ear. When the student does it correctly, it might feel like they aren't doing much internally, while it sounds big on the outside.
If you'd like to get some guidance about this, my studio offers a 20-min Skype trial lesson: spencerwelch.com/ko-trial-lesson
Though it is explained well, it would be far more of use if you would give us at least a short singing example in which this mixed voice is used. As with exercises alone, it is not the same as truly hearing it used in a song. I really would have liked to hear an example in a song, it'd tell me a lot more.
Your point is well taken, but the title and objective of this video is "Finding Your Mix Voice." Therefore, the point was to help the viewer find mix voice for the first time, not learn how to apply it to a song. I wanted to keep this video focused on its purpose, and most people find mix for the first time with a sound or exercise.
I will be making a "how to apply mix voice to songs" video soon though, so watch for that! Thanks for your comment.
Fantastic!
Glad you like it!
you deserve more than 100k subs , sir
You are very kind 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I wish I could sing, I want to learn. I don't have any money to spend on it though. Everything I try doesn't work. Every chance I get I sing to myself. I keep hoping the more I sing the more my voice will get better, but I just song awkward. :(
I'm sorry you are having difficulty learning how to sing. If watching videos and singing on your own is not helping, then you need personalized help from a teacher. I know this costs money, but it's worthwhile if it is important to you.
We offer a Trial 20-minute Skype lesson at our studio for $15 if you decide to pursue this more: spencerwelch.com/ko-trial-lesson
I have a question:
so sometimes when i'm singing to myself and i'm trying to be quiet, i'll start singing in this super soft way but it feels a bit like chest voice. i don't know how to describe it too well but it's a bit like humming only i'm actually singing words and it feels farther back in my throat. does this have a name? it lets me sing super high and i want to know if theres a way to make it louder and more powerful.
As the famous quote goes, "Talking about music is like dancing about architecture." 😀 So I can try to guess what you are doing, but it wouldn't really do it justice without hearing you and working with you in a lesson. If it feels similar to chest voice but you are able to sing quite high without getting louder, it's probably some kind of light mix voice. But again, that's just an educated guess. I do offer Skype lessons if this is something you want to investigate in earnest.
One of the few actually helpful vocal tip videos, vocalist here
I'll be attempting to use this guide to find my mixed voice, I hope to be able to support the high notes I get from using my head voice (A5 highest for now)! I'll update you on my progress, since you care about your community a lot; it's rare that any content creator replies to all the comments they get.
Fabulous, I look forward to how you do, developing your mix voice. Are you male or female?

Okay so. I can go from an F2 to a B6 sometimes D7. I’m a boy and I consider myself a baritone even though ppl call me a tenor but I still can’t access my mixed voice. I tried this and my voice just goes out or breaks. My question is. Why can I hit high notes in my head voice and falsetto and hit regular to low notes in my chest but I can’t achieve mixed?
It's near impossible to really know what's going on in your voice without hearing you and working with you in a lesson. However, something to consider: how old are you, has your voice changed yet, and if so, how long ago?
@@SpencerWelchVocalStudio you're right no one can hit a B6 even tho its a mixed voice right ?
Ariana Grande that’s not what I said. I said that’s my range not that I could hit it in mixed voice.
Many women, prepubescent boys, and a few select men can sing up to a B6, but not in mix voice. For women and boy sopranos, a B6 is high head voice, even whistle in some cases. For those few men who can sing B6, it is basically whistle voice, never mix.
What do I do to find my mixed voice..if my voice cracks even when I say "Oh" and "Hey"? 😢
Find a good voice teacher ;) Some singers have such strong vocal habits that tips won't help them, no matter how many videos they watch. They need personalized guidance and ongoing training.
Mix voice is a challenging region to develop in the best of times. Some of us just need more help. I was one of these people, and I sought out one of the best vocal coaches in Hollywood to help me develop my mix voice. Saved me years of frustration.
@@SpencerWelchVocalStudio Alright thanks sir!
My pleasure!
这位老师非常棒，解释的相当清楚，虽然只有三条，但是绝对有用。我确认这个发声方法是科学的，并且适用于所有的歌唱家们，包括opera singers.
Thank you, Steven (and Google Translate ;) I appreciate your vote of confidence. The concept of a mix voice does apply to opera singing as well, although in the pedagogy literature it is often called "the passagio" or "full head voice."
I dont know how I got here. I dont even sing, but I love this dudes vibes hahaha SUBBED!!!
Thanks! I appreciate you being here.
