    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 RUclips 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!

      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.

    I can’t tell if I’m doing a mixed voice, or a high chest voice

    • @SpencerWelchVocalStudio
      @SpencerWelchVocalStudio  4 года назад +12

      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.

    • @SpencerWelchVocalStudio
      @SpencerWelchVocalStudio  4 года назад +6

      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.

  • @joshwalker2453
    @joshwalker2453 4 года назад +174

    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.

    • @SpencerWelchVocalStudio
      @SpencerWelchVocalStudio  4 года назад +27

      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.

    • @joshwalker2453
      @joshwalker2453 4 года назад +15

      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.

    • @SpencerWelchVocalStudio
      @SpencerWelchVocalStudio  4 года назад +17

      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: ruclips.net/video/IGoRueDvIvA/видео.html

    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.

      @@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

    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.

      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.

      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: ruclips.net/video/I_w549666r0/видео.html

      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.

      @SpencerWelchVocalStudio  5 лет назад

      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.

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.

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.

      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:

    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?

    • @SpencerWelchVocalStudio
      @SpencerWelchVocalStudio  4 года назад

      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.

      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.

    • @SpencerWelchVocalStudio
      @SpencerWelchVocalStudio  4 года назад +3

      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.

    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.

    • @SpencerWelchVocalStudio
      @SpencerWelchVocalStudio  4 года назад

      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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    • @SpencerWelchVocalStudio

      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.

    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.

      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?

      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.
