I've been learning to sing for roughly 4 years. I've watched dozens of singing teacher. Spanish and English....... and you Sir, are the best one I've found. Congratulations to you, for teaching directly to the point !!! Keep up the great work. Thank you!!
10:12 "A higher voice is a smaller voice." A guy set me straight on this point while talking together in a wine bar some years ago. It is definitely the right place to start. The 'badass' can come in later.
Ironically, trying mixed voice with lower notes helped me. I'm almost there in terms of making powerful highs. I embraced being quiet while practicing. Thanks to you I understood that's exactly what I want while I'm building up the muscle memory. You're a great teacher!
I had the opposite experience. Low mix was INSANELY tough without either being breathy/weak or having to basically shout. I have a naturally deep voice, so I realized what the problem was...placement. I speak with a low placement that's too low and I release too much air. My voice has no compression. Once I found that out, I made major progress
@@user-jq4fz6co8b I know exactly what you mean. I've been there until figuring out placement as well.
Can you sing female songs in mixed voice@@GabiBrooks
@@GabiBrooksbecause when igot my puberty icant sing female songs
@@riavillamor806 i am a girl so yes I can. But it's not always stable
YES! Singing success was also how I found my head + mixed voice. I recommend it to anyone who wants to start to learn to sing.
this is super useful video! Thanks for sharing your insights so transparently
Bravo. Great explanation!!
Ear plugs. Put em in and feel where those vibrations are coming from. Nose...chest...face...throat literally mix those resonances together. Impractice your mix sofltly with plugs in. You will find it faster.
Took lessons with one of Brett Mannings coaches and she had no idea how to teach mix. She was teaching me how to belt thinking that it was the same as the mix. I’m 49 and, to date, I have not found one coach who could teach mix in a way that made sense to me. I either end up pushing chest or I with a supported falsetto that mixes easy but has no power or control. For me, after over 20 years of trying, mix remains a mystery.
I’ve heard some similar stories. It can be pretty tricky for people. I’ve never had a vocal lesson. I’ve been teaching for eleven years now. Everything I’ve learned has been from my drive and ambition. There’s also some ridiculous obsession in there I’m sure. I’m happy to help out if you’d like. (SterlingRaviJackson@gmail.com)
Maybe I can clear some things up for ya.
James it can be so tricky learning a mixed coordination if it’s not natural to you. It can also be tricky learning mix from a female if you’re a male and vice versa.
I would recommend looking into The Estill method which is anatomic/physiology based. Eg: for a certain sound to be made, what is exactly happening physically. Isolating the different mechanisms that are required to change and make different vocal sounds.
It’s also difficult to learn new coordinations if you’re currently gigging or singing a lot pulling up chest voice etc. There’s a lot of muscle memory to work around.
There are only a few male vocal coaches on RUclips who know what they’re talking about and can teach/explain mix properly aside from Sterling.
Tyler Wysong is one. The other is Greg West. ✅
@@SterlingRJackson thank you for the reply. I will email you shortly as I like your style and I think you can help me.
@@vocalbooth8585 thank you so much for the feedback and tips regarding who to look into as far as coaches go. I have Tyler’s mixed voice program but I’m not getting anywhere with it on my own. I’ve been trying for this mixed voice for over 20 years now and still don’t get it LOL. Anyway, thank you again for the feedback!
@@JamesAHollandMusic you’re welcome. I know the journey all too well. I struggled for the same amount of time.
I would highly recommend you get lessons in person or online with people who really know what they’re talking about. Programs are good but what you really need is someone listening and giving you feedback and adjustments in real time. Nothing can replace that. Have lessons with Sterling, Greg or Tyler online and go from there
This was SO helpful. I am a vocal coach always searching for new ways to explain and demo mixed voice to students. Definitely some great examples in this video. Thanks!
Oh good. That’s great to hear. 😊😊
Nice Jacket !
My voice goes to head when trying to connect. I cant seem to make that sound you are making so im def waiting for that video
I feel called out for staying in head voice going up in exercises. Haha, thanks I'll have to work with that.
Your explanations are really good. That would have to give much more views, because of the quality alone. Up a thumb and a subscription of mine!
I find you complementing the Vocalcoach community.
Greetings from Germany
You brought so much clarification on our session that I had one of THE best and mostest funnest days singing afterward!
Just a little nudge was all that was needed.
Okay, it was a big nudge. And there were curse words and descriptive names were used but, still.
Thanks man. I appreciate the kind words 😊😊
So helpful thank you
😊
I looooove this channel
Whenever I try to quietly transition across the bridge, my throat just naturally tightens up. Its either that, or it just flips.
As chest voice song we can’t apply any words as lYrics. Is it true .Please reply. Many thanks for relevants.
Could you explain Lzzy Hale's singing? I feel like she's in the mix very often with that grit that almost sounds like a cookie monster sound? I just discovered that mixed voice is what I considered falsetto as I learned it in choir so I'm all over the place with singing. 🤣
hello, the exercises work, but adding it in a song does not work so far, do you have any tips for this.
I’ll be covering this more soon. I’ve been away on tour and now with a shitty cold. Be back soon 😬
Easy to find some times, harder others Hard to sustain for the most. But when I hit it right it sounds and feels great.. stupid muscles don't remember it all the time and torment me. Also the resonance is not relevant to how your making the sound. That's in the voice box . People think they need to resonate there normal voice in a different place. That won't make the sound mixed. That's the fry that does that in my thoughts .

And thank you ! ❤️🙏🏻
Your not chasing a unicorn peeps. Just put the work in. Its not that much of a pain to find and you have all the lessons you want for free on you tube.
There’s also a lot of really bad information on RUclips from people who think they’re singing teachers and who put up really bad technique advice ☹️
Ah the sound of mouse who blowed out it's voice during a tour
That’s a confusing sentence. 😐
I had this kind of frustration: I like my voice in the speaking register, why the hell doesn't it go a bit higher? If only I could go to G4 without flipping to falsetto, I would be able to sing most of my favorite songs and not be limited when writing my own music. I've never actually cared about singing high notes. I just wanted to sing a bit higher with the same quality as my speaking voice.
The biggest reason why people sang really high in the 80s is to be heard in a mix of a rock band. But it doesn't sound best in my opinion. It's a comprise. On the other hand, in modern music people mostly sing in their speaking register, but sometimes go a bit higher. It's key to make notes higher than your speaking register sound good and connected to your speaking voice. Your speaking voice makes people connect to your music better. Higher notes are mostly needed so that your not limited musically. It's sucks when you are writing a song and this note is perfect but you can't sing it well.
Classical singers had a limitation of having to sing very loudly whereas 70s and 80s rock singers had to sing very high. But the closer the voice to the speaking voice, the more aesthetically pleasing it is to most people. Of course, it's totally subjective. We just like feeling like the singer is our friend. It's harder to feel this if the singer is using some strange unfamiliar sound, such as low larynx in classical music or high mixed voice.
what if my mix voice just sounds weird?
i think that means you’re doing it right! i’ve been singing seriously for 14 years and still find my mixes and belts sound weird a lot. like he said in the video, mix IS weird. it’s important to 1, listen to a recording of your mix or have someone else listen (in your head you can sound different), 2, keep experimenting with artistic ways to adjust your tone and vowels to make your mix sound more like singing and less like nasally weirdness 😂
@@SparklesNJazz I've been singing for 1 year and a half, so probaly it just sound weird for everyone who listen to it. But I'll keep it up with trainings, maybe someday I'll like my voice. Thanks for your advice!
@@LifeEnjoyer4251 i think its a good way, I just trust the process and to be honest some of my songs with mix are decent
@@kanapkitozo3169 yeah, its a cool way to think, "just go for it".
@@LifeEnjoyer4251 i mean, if you have open mind, you can figure it out, explore your voice and find the decent tone and control))
What if I don't have an instinct that tells me to get louder when I go higher? These exercises didn't feel difficult either. Is it possible that I'm trying to do mixed voice by default and that's why singing has always been difficult to me, even if I have a near perfect pitch with other instruments + whistling 🤔 or am I just simply crap at singing 😂😅
Yes but why is Falsetto the hardest thing in the world to make sound good?
What does that mean? Explain? It’s not hard to make it sound good. It’s hard to hear and do live. Is that what you’re referring to?
@@SterlingRJacksonAlright I'm new at all this, so everything is difficult but that smooth nice falsetto thing I hear in songs like Mt Joy "Let Loose" seem unobtainium
