Here are THE THREE REASONS why so many can not get mix in their voices and what you can do to eliminate them and make faster progress. This is a technique which has worked for me, my students and THOUSANDS OF singers worldwide AND it will work for you.
I started singing in choir 15 months ago. At the beginning my strategy was pulled chest. After a while I resorted to the airy head voice instead and in a song I’m currently rehearsing that goes from chest voice notes into higher notes that are over my break area I realized that I just used the disconnected flip from chest into head. So basically I’ve been using them all but I don’t pull chest anymore now. 😅 Working on the different exercises now to get a good mix. 💪
Hi Chuck. After doing your excersises for some time I started working on a production where I sing A5. The result is amazing. There is now wasy I could have done this before, I was going into poll chest. You made the difference for me thanks /Adam
I'm definitely either a pulled chest-high larynx, or a flip-falsetto haha. Hate it. I hate singing in falsetto so I'm limited to my lower, chest voice notes
tension and stress .. that’s me .. I have realised my fairly recent switch from pulled chest to mix is causing me a new problem .. I’ve always had good natural vibrato .. on recent recordings I’ve been noticing this weird noise at the end of words .. if I use a tuning plugin it makes it go mental and creates a weird tremolo effect .. I’ve worked out I bounce of NNG a lot when I sing now because it makes my voice sound good so I’m going back to NNG at the end of lines so my vibrato is ending up in my nose and it sounds bloody weird
my problem is the number 3 , i can even find my mixed voice , it literally like i jumping my notes from chest voice instantly to head voices and i thought it was biologic problems which is i think i will be never make mixed voice. when i watch this , i gives me hopes . i hope i can make it .. tnx for the videos !!!. ps. sry if my english bad
Right. The wrong example is to teach you what is wrong so you know the difference between right and wrong. But, do the right one to make progress with your voice.
I don’t even know what my “mixed” voice should sound like. I try really hard to make it more nasal and to have a lot of air and muscle support on it but it just sounds like my head voice, can you please explain this to me?
Yes. But you might be doing everything correctly, but are just new at it. Give it time to get established in your voice. If you are doing it right, it will get stronger. This may also help: ruclips.net/video/bsRhmWotJmY/видео.html
What are your thoughts on “covering” ( such Pavarotti/Pola) Mario Del Monaco and all the rest of Melocchi students ( or even Caruso, Pertile… Fleta, Lanza etc… ) Thank you.
I"m not sure what covering means. I heard Pavarotti use it and it sounded more like narrowing a vowel and getting a better mix of chest and head. But everyone defines it differently. I think it is wrong to manipulate the larynx/voice when you sing. For temporary exercises to retrain the larynx to stay down. But we must get to unmanufactured, un-manipulated natural tone ASAP.
I am a Lírico spinto operatic tenor ( Trovatore, La Boheme, Tosca, Un Ballo in Maschera, Butterfly, Carmen… ) After surviving a cancer I am planning a come back… but some damage has been done to the vocal folds and larynx, thus, I have to be real smart. I really like your videos… I just don’t know if they would work for the operatic stage. What are your thoughts? Thank you in advance.
Is it normal to feel a little fatigue after a mixed voice workout, like after lifting weights at the gym, or is this the sign you are doing something wrong? Thank you!
Don't do the exercises as hard and loud. That will help them feel a little less fatigued. If you haven't done exercises for a while sometimes it does feel like a workout. But always a good recovery.
My problem is absolutely the first one, because when I was younger I used to think it was better or somehow more impressive to hit notes without going into my head voice so I tried to stretch my chest voice to hit everything. I find it very hard to even go into my falsetto now.
I remember I was also criticized for going to head voice singing the songs of Barbra Streisand and Diana Ross. Thus, I tried singing the songs of Anne Lennox but noticed I was already having a hard time singing my favorite Barbra and Diana songs which I find a breeze to sing coz I can shift back and forth to chest and headvoice without being obvious. Now, I added Whitney, Lara and other pop singers like Rihanna.
Many singers can't. It may be possible to learn, but it takes time. A substitution for it that works well is "goo" or "koo". Also the always reliable bubble lips. One approach to learning it is to use the syllables "Tuh Dah" or "Tuh Duh" done rapidly in combination with increased air flow can get a short trill started. It is the air traveling over the tongue that extends the duration of the trill.
My pitch is C3 i am chest pulled.. the passaggio is quiet jerking i tried many ways but could you tell me which may be a normal note where chest mixes to head?
@@PowerToSing Hi maestro, sorry again: do you think that a bass could be able to sing the ''nessun dorma'' on the original notes? I'm asking you because I can't understand my voice as it is a thick voice but I sing all Puccini in the original and in the vocals I arrive at high C. Ave Maria in B flat is quite comfortable for me. Could I still be a bass?
@@iltrofeo1576 It's impossible for me to say without working with your voice for some time. Let me ask you a question. As you sing higher, at which note do you feel the transition from chest voice to a mixed voice of both chest and head voice? ie where is your break area?
Hey can I ask a question? Everytime I use my mixed voice it actually sounds too shaky and it looks like I cant control it yet. (I found my mixed yesterday btw)
I'm sure you are right about that. I wish it was always easy and quick. But just like learning to walk, you fall a lot and it's progress little by little.
I signed up to receive the PDF download and I never received it 🤷. I tried to sign up for it twice .....I really want to see which of the three I am I think I'm the third one but I'm not a hundred percent sure
I have tried the pulled chest high larynx exercises but the nay and lip roll doesn't work on me.I can only do the flip falsetto exercises. I don't know if this will help me to prevent pushing chest up.
Substitute goo for lip rolls, do the ney's much more quiet, stay witchy...but not loud. The FF exercises won't hurt you, but you must keep revisiting the other exercises...otherwise you have limitations. Can you do a tongue trill instead of the bubble lips. On bubbles, make a frown and put your fingers in the frown lines and lift up your cheeks from there...see if you can get bubbles going.
My voice breaks into falsetto at F4, I searched youtube and found out there are muscles called edge muscles in larynx and they need to get stronger by practicing vocal fry to prevent such breaks in voice. Could you make it clear for me please? is that correct?
Hi Farhad: It depends on what you mean by vocal fry. For example, Seth Riggs does exercises that he calls edge therapy, where just the edges of the cord structure come together. When done as he demonstrates, the larynx stays down, and the break is eliminated. However, it is not using the vocal fry. That being said, it's the larynx coming up...being pulled higher, in conjunction with the chest voice being pulled up that causes the flip. Do these exercises as demonstrated and you will eliminate the flip: Watch the videos and download the exercises. www.powertosing.com/pulled-chest-high-larynx-2/

Its taken me 3 months of trying and this helped me a load making my mix stronger! Thank you!
Great to hear!
Chuck your videos have been really helpful in reinforcing my understanding of the mix, thanks a lot!
Awesome, Thomas. May I ask if there is one particular thing that helped more that stands out in your mind?

Thank you I wanna go to a vocalist teacher or whom ever
I think you should!
Thank you sir so helpful
My problem is same as first and third problem😔 sir please help me to improve my voice
1. Take the test to get your vocal type 2. Get the exercises for your vocal type. @t This is the fastest way to improve.
Mine is flip falsetto
Hi, I can sing mixed voice but it’s too breathy and it sounds too heady, is there a way to keep it more balanced?
Yes. But you might be doing everything correctly, but are just new at it. Give it time to get established in your voice. If you are doing it right, it will get stronger. This may also help: ruclips.net/video/bsRhmWotJmY/видео.html

Yes they work for opera. What kind of cancer? What kind of damage has occurred to the vocal folds? Larynx?
I think I’ve arrived AFTER I accidentally discovered mix .. I’m going to assume I was a chest puller and work from there
I think about 90%+ of singers I've met are chest pullers. :)

I sing from my head voice down sir and I'll get the mix but if I rise from chest to mix I'm pulling up :(
That's ok. Soon you'll be able to reverse it.
@@PowerToSing okay sir thank you for the reply I'm motivated now... Thank you:)
@@PowerToSing one doubt sir:Is it ok to do this exercise with mouth closed ?
@@sakthivelb9074 Sure....but eventually you've got to do it like you sing...with your mouth open.

I think I'm the first type - pulled chest.
You are in the majority! Me too. :)
Thank you, I'm gonna take the test and learn more about it! @@PowerToSing 😃
My pitch is C3 i am chest pulled.. the passaggio is quiet jerking i tried many ways but could you tell me which may be a normal note where chest mixes to head?
For the baritone and tenor voice, the first bridge begins at E4. This is where we must begin mixing. It is ok to mix a few notes earlier that this.
I use to pull my chest voice
Me too!
Hi teacher, so which register of voice do you belong to?

My larynx is high positioned when i feel it on my neck and I don't know whether its normal, Sir...
It's relative from person to person. It's more about the condition of your speaking and singing. You can judge it better by how you speak and sing.

@@PowerToSing I don't know . I am not pushing , Im staying quiet on nays and bubble lips but my voice stops at one point and sometimes flips.
How old are you thEOdore?
@@theo-bj7cp I'm quite sure you won't achieve mix in 3 days.Practice for maybe week or two.
