Aw, that's nice I really hope more and more people subscribe to you bro. I've tried that thing where you raise your soft palate and lower it, can you still get head resonance even with the soft palate raised? (no nasal resonance) Because I don't want my voice to sound too nasal but not to muddy either, if you get what I mean.
A few weaks ago something helped me to access flageolet tension in my mixed voice and that was by pinching my nose and I tried to sing without the sound coming from my nose but out of the mouth, it really helped me to sing higher but now it doesn't work as good anymore haha. Like the last time I tried to sing with the sound coming out of my nose, and I could sing effortlessly, now it doesn't work anymore haha.
@@jerichodunham8491 im sorry singin ofc require frontal placement so your voice doesnt get tired easily plus yes frontal placement is nasal resonance is okay to have nasal tone
You’re an undescovered brilliance. I’ve been toiling for over a decade to sing. I’m a low baritone and anything above an F was strained nasally and ugly… I just hit an A4 with rasp and strong support and perfectly on pitch. Your advice helped me achieve this… I’m so thankful I found you. Keep on this track, you found your calling very early in life.
The exercise to control the soft palate is amazing ! I was usually told to yawn to raise it but it never worked for me, at least not as precisely than with your advices, it's amazing ! Thanks a lot, you are definitely becoming my YT reference for vocal technique !
I really, really appreciate you doing the whole exercise with us. I don’t watch so many people because they don’t do that. It’s not to be mean, I just can’t do it when I have to do it with piano only. I need to hear what the person sounds like to do it right for awhile.
this was amazing, I've been taking singing classes for 2 years (different coaches) and this is the first time I finally understand this and how to actually control it, thanks so much! 😍😍😍
Have you studied in the area of speech pathology? You are speaking my language! I’m a speech and language pathologist and would love to be a vocal coach some day, however, still and will always be learning myself. Your tips are good nuggets! I’m loving the anatomy, acoustic physics, and physiological aspects you incorporate into your explanations. 👏🏻🙌🏻 You seriously are doing all the things I do in my car on my way to and back from work 😆. Keep doing this! You’re doing great!
This video helped me with my high notes more than any other video! This was the trick for me. I have never heard it explained like this before. Thank you Gregory. I just got B flat effortlessly. One voice teacher always told me to sing "hooty" but that never really sunk in like this explanation did.
Wow this is a really good video. Not only can i feel my voice go into mix, but i also felt a further change around a#4. This has really helped me a lot!
king of all vocal coaches loved the video really helpful and easy i watched this video months ago and it didnt work out for me i couldnt do this now im back to this and after i learned a lot about the voice i really understand what you’re saying and i actually succeed doing what you did really easily so practice makes perfect thank you so much
Great stuff, man. I’ve been tracking the elusive white stag of mixed voice for a couple of years now, and your videos are some of the clearest glimpses I’ve gotten of the mythical beast.
Just want to say how incredibly helpful this video was. You explained it so well, from first showing the anatomy and then using different consonants as examples to help us get to understand what the difference should feel like. Thank you so much for this 🙏🏼
This is so interesting! I speak brazilian portuguese. It's a language with lots of nasality and a lower and back placement. For us, the english language has a forward and upper placement and some kind of nasality. We need to raise our resonance in order to sing in english and we use that placement to sing Musical Theatre in our language (it helps a loooot!). But we can't use it very much or it would sound very fake in portuguese for our ears. These two examples you gave in the video we say here in voice technique: voice in the nose and voice behind the nose.
it literally took me a year to finally get this. listen greg you are absolutely spot on about the sensations here. but when i could target and isolate that velum. i instantly remembered this video. kewl!
I tried this exercise today, and suddenly my chest voice and head voice connected smoothly! I have been struggling with my unstable breathy chest voice and break between chest voice and head voice for years. You saved my life… Thank you sooooo much, Greg! sorry for my poor English. I’m Japanese^^
Yoo. This is a really good video. The nasality demonstration are top tier. Now I can go back to my favorite singers and listen for nasality on vocal phrases. Thank again for your amazing work.
dudeeeee ure rly a lifesaver ive been struggling to find my mixed voice for the past few years but ur previous video on the magic trio made me was so good:(( i hope u get more recognition and subscribers man good job!!!
Wow- ok this is one of the best tricks I've ever heard/seen on youtube. You're such a great teacher! Thanks for putting these out, definitely subscribed.

You are absolutely incredible, man. The way you explain things is so intelligent and efficient. I can't believe you started singing just a few years ago. Your singing journey video was very inspiring.
this would explain what I have found in the singing of Ozzy and Bon Scott vs Tony Martin or Paul Rodgers The Ahhh vowel goes up F4 to Bb4 then the "It" vowel for B4, the " Uhh" up to Eb5 then "Oo" but if you add the " IT' vowel early on Ab4 A and Bb4 you get that air cut to the nose, causing a resonant buzz in the mouth and forehead, I have heard singers say singing through your nose, but I think it means resonating in the nose, because you actually cut the air.
There are so many good teachers on RUclips, but you my friend are ordain with an intuitive Ness for this mixed voice that is shocking. Thank you for furthering my development.
Iny book a closed nasal pathway is considered nasal.. Like when you are sick.. Good airflow thru the nose and a more bright projecting sound is not nasal sounding. But it's just a different way of looking at it. So the air has to travel thru the nose that is important it seems.. To help with mix
I've been using that soft palette closing technique since being a child so I didn't have to smell disgusting smells 😅😅 just breathed through my mouth instead 😂 I have never been able to explain what I've been doing to anyone else
I Just want to say that G4 is completly different note if you are a bass, a baryton or a tenor. As a baryton myself, it is the beginning of troubles but it is reachable note in mixed voice but i can imagine it must sound really to reach for a bass and easy for tenor. Anyway thanks for this small course and exercices, I ll try them !
Since i've watched your magic trio.I suddenly hit high notes without straining my throat. After singing i felt that my nose was clogged,I also felt light headaches
When I watched that video today I was able to find my entire mix register but I am not able to sing in it as comfortably as chest or head. It’s very shaky because I never used my mix voice before. It’s amazing how fast that video helped! 😊
Extremely well informed, helpful, and clear. Wish I had seen this 10 years ago. I had to learn the basics of what you cover in this video by years of trial and error. Mostly error:))):(( thank you:)).
This is a result of which vowels you use. In the beginning the "controoool" with less nasality the ooooo sounds like aaaaaa, which is a less nasal vowel, which removes nasality.
Man this was such a good break down. Thanks a lot :-) I love the way you show how to transition from overdrive to mixed voice. I can vouch that it worked for me. I am also conscious of the twang involved.
Learning this from my vocal coach was a mess! It took, literally, weeks! I just couldn't get it for the longest time! And in less than a minute you explained perfectly (ELI5) Well done you!!
What a great channel I just discovered here today! Really usefull tips for mixed voice indeed. I am a beginner and my goal is to sing higher notes like Warren Zeiders did in his cover of Outskirts of Heaven, I follow you excellent tutorial many thanks :)
“We want to increase the volume, keep opening the mouth, and keep a clear, strong quality to our voice” 30 Day Singing Programs: How dare he say that without making people pay $5,000 first 🤬🤬🤬
i spent like $200-300 buying ken templin's garbage course and i regret it everyday. i said i wasn't happy with the course on his forum and my post got deleted lol
Mixed voice is so complicated. It drives me wild. I thought I had it a few months ago but I feel like I just extended my chest voice somehow instead. Not so much more than I already had. I can now sing up to a C5 but it’s very hard and it only comes on good days.
@@StudioWestLessons One of the things I really struggled with when I started trying to teach myself to sing in 2016 were tips in regards to finding my voice and especially my voice-type/register. Giving tips to others in regards to being able to discover that for themselves would be a pretty good vide in my opinion and it'll save them from trying to sing EXACTLY like an artist in a song.
Thanks for explaining the difference between the two. However I dont know when I would need to apply the different techniques. You sound good in both examples
Thank you very much for this great video! Love your way of explaining really step by step! What im still wandering is: do we want to have the port to the nose open or not? I understood from what you said that open is better and we want the mal sound. But I have to say that the sounds with a closed port to the nose sounded better to me. Maybe I misunderstood you or you want to get to somewhere else then after we know how to properly leave the port open? I'd be thankful for your answer :) Thank you very much and have a nice day!
Great video!! I follow you from Spain!! I think it would be great if you could do some videos talking about how to control/identify/master the CVT vocal modes!! Keep on doing these awesome vids!!! :)
Your videos are the best I seen in this topics, so many stuff that really work instantly, I'm a fan of CVT system and is very good to have you knowledge about it. I'm receiving lessons from a Classical Teacher and I have some Doubts about where resonate the best for my voice, (you can do a video of that eventually?), I want to sing Rock and I don't have the lighter voice but I can Hit G4 in Chest with no problem. Thanks for your videos and keep doing this exelent work
Nice advice for what regards nasal areal vibrations. But them vibrations have nothing to do with your soft palate. You can get those vibrations with your soft palate raised and closed too. It is called mixed voice and yeah it has nothing to do with nasal airflow but nasal resonance "mixed" with oral resonance. Simple as that. Speech pathologist and singer here. Peace.
You're like them humble youtubers who reveal all the secrets and doesn't care about money. Love you man!
Aw, that's nice I really hope more and more people subscribe to you bro.

It's a luxurious lecture. It's really hard to translate into Korean
Ear plugs work amazingly well for feeling those vibrations and where they are coming from. Nose..chest..throat ..mask
