Mixed voice development is challenging because you aren’t singing with only chest or head voice. You’re singing with both chest and head voices at the same time blended or mixed together. It’s a new feeling caused by a new approach to singing. I'm excited to share a mixed voice development video with you all as it's something so many people struggle with. I hope you enjoy!
You know I neaver really noticed the uuu on the end of no.I think I was saying no too sharp but now with the uuu it feels so smooth. Keep those nuggets of gold coming. Many thanks.
@@PowerToSing The bubble lips and "ney"-exercise work the best for me!! The others work too, but sometimes the transition doesn't go as smooth as with the bubble-lips and "ney" exercises...
@@PowerToSing they are. My friend mentioned tone in my singing and Ive recently been bridging the gap in my knowledge of audio engineering and guitar. Led me to scales and tones. That led me to this channel!
@@yumna7717 We want to be able to mix our chest voice with head voice as we sing from low to high and down again. This eliminates straining, pulling, cracking and breaking and enables you to have a connected tone everywhere in your range. Yes it is the best type. The final point is to always be refining and improving.
Hi Michael: I have a course which will help you get into mix with exercises. Just subscribe to Power To Sing (www.powertosing.com/) and you will learn about it. Also, free exercises are available for your specific vocal type. Have you gotten your vocal type yet?
Power To Sing Well, I think it will - but I need to make myself practice , practice, practice! I’m only leading worship once, maybe twice a month these days. I can really feel the difference now that I’m not singing as often.
Hi Chuck, when I start straining, I substitute the words w nay or the hooty gee and i seem to get the pitch easier w them but which one is closer to how we should sing in reality? thx!
hooty gee, because the larynx is closer to your speech level. However, you want to discontinue the hooty sound ASAP because the imposed larynx is not what you want to sing with. As soon as you can make it with a normal gee, return to the words. If you are still straining, it is likely the vowel is spreading.

@OC Jones Linkin park lead singer used pulled chest...He had surgeries I guess...This Smule guy is pulling chest I guess... The point here is If you use the head voice you can sing for long without much strain on the voice...It's as simple as it is...
Farzan: These won't take you long. Do what the video says about getting your vocal type. Then do the exercises for your vocal type. Do them twice a day. At first, Doing them correctly is more important than how long you do them.
@@dndmwns1823 It's your age. You will have to be patient. Also, you will have to work extra hard to do the exercises as demonstrated. Also, do them softer...much softer than you've been doing them.
I went several years before I knew what mix felt like in my voice and could recognize it. Just because you can't recognize it yet, doesn't mean you have a problem.
Hello there. i believe i have an incomplete mix. i posted an audio on reddit and i was told to bring more chest into it and i dont know what that means or how to do it. what can i do?
Your larynx is coming up and this causes the voice to break into falsetto. Even when done right, It's not easy to forget the old way of doing it and create new muscle memory. How old are you and are you male or female?
@@PowerToSing i'm a 28 year old male and i've always struggled singing higher than C4 in a soft way, i always push and my voice gets to G#4 but tha'ts it, i don't seem to have a mix
Hello. Thanks for the video. With the "nay" exercise my voice cracks into falsetto at the last beginning node G#4 I think. Does that mean I should start lower with that exercise? I do not think it is possible for me to hit that note without cracking into falsetto at this point. It is a bit easier with the No-exercise though. I had a lot of succes with the bubble exercise, but I felt generally that I did not get a good sound of 'nay', 'no(u)' or 'mum' unless F4 was the highest note. Higher than that and my voice seems to break, or I feel I have to strain to hit the note. I guess F#4 begins my vocal bridge? Vocal type voice I believe myself to be a natural baritone. My lowest note is an E2 which is often sung with a fry.
@@Severindk87 Hi LS: Don't lower the pitch. I would do the exercises for PC/HL. Do them softer...just loud enough to stay connected. As you do the ney's try not to go louder. Instead, stay exaggerated with the witchy-bratty sound and see if you can stay connected. When you get to the dopy gees stay very dopy-hooty and see if you can keep the tone connected. Are you able to stay connected on the bubble lips?
@@PowerToSing thanks for the reply. On the bubble lips I am not sure if I stay connected. It seems like a connected tone but i can still hear when my chest kicks in on the lower notes. I am not sure what you mean by doopy hootys etc?

Many thanks.
Great! Thanks Mike.
Thank you so much Chuck!! The exercises really help me to smooth out the transition from chest to head voice. 😃
Great! Is there one or two exercises that helped more than the others?
@@PowerToSing The bubble lips and "ney"-exercise work the best for me!! The others work too, but sometimes the transition doesn't go as smooth as with the bubble-lips and "ney" exercises...
@@Thomas-rs7py Great! I think they will all get easier pretty soon.

Do you have a daily vocal routine with these exercises available for purchase? Do you recommend doing these exercises for 30 minutes per day?

I practice pulled chest exercises.
@OC JonesGreat...Pulled chest exercises are for not doing it Mr.

@OC Jones I am From India ... Chuck, here has got the best techniques that I have come across till now...
Awsome
Thanx for this vid mate it’s awesome 😎
Hi chuck! Great vocal exercises, best technique and tutorial as always ... And yes with the vibration!
Awesome....thanks Joe!
Any new experiences using these exercises?
would you like to make a video about how to find the mixed voice with chest voice, which is a big problem in bel canto
Here you go. These should help!

Yes I feel the vibration going into my head. (No uh)
❤❤❤❤❤
Hello Sir, im feeling squeeze when singing ney ney ney, how i fix that problem?
while staying exaggerated on the ney, reduce the loudness by 1/2 or more. See what happens.
I feel a lot of strain for the nays and no’s. My neck feels real tense
Do everything softer...less loud.
I will upload a Bruno Mars song on fb, i need your feed back on it , malik
❤❤
How many minutes i’m gonna do these exersices ? Idk plz let me know (sorry for my bad english)
Farzan: These won't take you long. Do what the video says about getting your vocal type. Then do the exercises for your vocal type. Do them twice a day. At first, Doing them correctly is more important than how long you do them.
Power To Sing when i do the ney exercise
Im pulling my larynx up i dont know why i tryed to not do that but it happens what do i do
Your amazing 😉 ❤️🧡
@@dndmwns1823 It's your age. You will have to be patient. Also, you will have to work extra hard to do the exercises as demonstrated. Also, do them softer...much softer than you've been doing them.
I'm not feeling it, i think there is a problem

Sorry I didn't hear it...I don't know why he/she said it or what they meant.
my voice can't do without breaking into falsetto, why is this? it always does the same, i have tried everything and nothing seems to help :(

@@TheJan2988 It may be helpful to take a live lesson. Also Watch this video and follow the directions. ruclips.net/video/d0Ob8WGmvPc/видео.html

Hi Lord: Did you take the test and get your vocal type as mentioned in the video?
@@PowerToSing Yes I did. I got 3 for flip/falsetto and 2 for pulled chest/high larynx
