  • How mixed voice can help a Baritone sing high!
    This song has long holds on A#4 and some quick D5 hits, which is way beyond the baritone range. But with proper mixed voice technique, it's possible to get there, knowing how to modify the vowels and thin out is really important here. Don't be afraid to sound bright, it's rock / metal after all
    Like the song? It's my single Pneumothorax, available in all platforms, listen here: • Leo Maia - Pneumothora...

    I'm literally in shock
    this is so high for a baritone, the fact that you did an A5 on your vocal range test video is just ........... I am speechless.
    I just finished watching all your shorts because they are so beneficial. The thing is, my falsetto is extremely high for a male but my chest voice is fairly low with a G2 being the lowest. My break is at D4, and I can't sing pass it without straining, I can push my chest voice tho to the point where I lost an octave from my falsetto (I once pulled a C#5 for 5 seconds). Not doing it again LOL
    can you please please do more videos on mixed voice, you seem to have a good teaching experience. Pleeeeease I beg 😔🥺

    • @LeoMaiaProg
      @LeoMaiaProg  Год назад +23

      Yes I'll continue doing these videos for sure, whenever I have some spare time I record them. I'm sitting on a "how to approach singing metropolis pt.2" and another one on eagle fly Free, I just need to edit them
      But for "finding" the mix voice I feel like the best ones are cry tone, squeaky door, cartoon character voice and the one about getting past your breaks through vowel modification and placement.
      I'll keep doing them and posting them here!
      I hope it helps you

      Also I tried the squeaky door thingy and it actually worked but I found out it's pulled chest....
      I tried to go past my break with airy quality and I ended up having the fastest vibrato ever, it was so incredibly fast. Using this technique allowed me to go to a Bb4 but after that I break....

      @@amrm_a7771 so get used to that airy thing that gets you through your break and gives you agility. Then, start there and then add cry, add squeaky door and such, it will help build chord closure in the right coordination that is CT muscles dominant. If you just do these exercises but starting from chest then it's not the purpose of them.
      This coordination where you don't break is mixed voice, you just need to shape it and get it to become more metallic

Comfortably, my range sits between a D2 at lowest chest and an E5 at the highest mix that is mostly falsetto before im staring to get vocal strain, but blending cleanly from one range to another i find so challenging

      I see it as a constant mix that gradually changes from chest to head, so the higher it is the headier it is, the lower the chestier
      The trick is modifying the vowels as you ascend in order to narrow them so they get thinner and your resonance gets headier

      Grit should be intentional but some people have it as part of their natural voice, if you have it when you speak or when you sing normally, but if you have it only when trying to sing higher and it's not intentional then is could be a technique thing, try to be softer first

      That probably means that some mixed voice and vowel modification / vocal tract shaping would probably help
      At this range I'm already singing very bright so that o don't carry the weight of my dark sounding chest that high and when I switch to heady mix and head the change is not abrupt, and proper vowel placement and soft palate and such really helped me go from a whiny bratty spread nasal head voice sound to a rounder fuller one while remaining very light

    Hi man I think your vocal technique is amazing you developed an incredibile range. I sing too and I think I'm pretty similiar to you in terms of voice and tessitura. I know that you are a low baritone and you can sing a low D2. I can do that too but I think I'm just a little bit lower than you becouse of the tone. I always considered myself a bass baritone for some reason but I'm pretty lighter so someone can confuse me with a classic baritone but truly I'm pretty low. Sometimes in the morning I get C2 but usually I have a C#2. My high break is around B3/C4. My highest chest belt that I can reach is F#4 max G4.
    I have just one video on my channel singing a low song just for fun. Can you tell me what you think about my voice? I'm a bari/bass or like dramatic baritone?
    I would be very happy if you will give me a feedback.

    • @LeoMaiaProg
      @LeoMaiaProg  Год назад +1

      I'm not the best one to categorize your vocal fach, that is important for a classical / opera singing to match characters to singers where color and chest resonance really matters.
      As I'm a contemporary/rock singer fach doesn't really matter (I've let that negatively impact my beliefs and limit myself for a long time, but not anymore)
      My low notes and breaks are same as yours
      My tip to you is just ignore vocal fach altogether. Focus on where your breaks are and how to change your resonance / vowels and placement according to them and go sing whatever your range allows you to

    • @LeoMaiaProg
      @LeoMaiaProg  Год назад +1

      Well I sang for 10 years without even knowing that mixed voice was a thing. Once I found out that it existed, took me like a 3 months to find it for the first time, once I found it, some extra 6 months practicing it and studying it every week, sometimes daily, to get to this point. I still have a lot to improve
      I share on my channel as RUclips shorts (and also on IG and Tiktok) the most important things or realizations that helped me have the biggest step increases in my evolution. Things which took me months to figure out that if someone would have explained to me like how in explaining on the videos (which is how it finally made sense to my brain and my own false kinestesia), it would have saved me a lot of time of trial and error. It has apparently helped plenty of people based on the feedback in receiving, so maybe it could help you as well!

      Of course this is over simplifying, there's vowel modification as well which is very important as you need to narrow your sound, narrow your vocal tract as you go this high and trying to sing wide will make you strain.
      As you get the right technique you stop trying to push your chest voice up, but if you keep just doing the same thing and trying to push and get your chest voice stronger that's just gonna make mix impossible, it is about balance and with a weak head voice and strong chest voice you can't balance, chest willl always overpower and win and it will make you break

      There's no such thing as "weak", your vocal muscles are as strong as they need to be. It's a matter of muscle memory and coordination, it's not strength, you don't need to go to a vocal gym
      Singing should not be pushed, you need to properly support (it's NOT pushing from your belly, but rather keeping the air in), not yell and stretch your vocal folds by using your CT muscles (head voice muscles)
      For me, it's a matter of support, using head voice, vowel modification, resonance placement and vocal tract shape that will make my voice with a lot of head on it sound good
      I have many tips on it, literally almost all of the channel shorts videos are about tips on achieving this, maybe one of them will help you

      It really depends where it's coming from. It could be from compression which the solution is to relax a bit your air pressure and let yourself get thinner and lighter, it could be coming from placement that is too forward and for that the solution would be to raise soft palate a little more and get a bit rounder placing a little more internally, it really depends where it's coming from...

    Of course, lyrical baritone. The timbre is similar to Chris Cornell's.

    • @LeoMaiaProg
      @LeoMaiaProg  Год назад

      I wouldn't consider myself a lyrical baritone, I can sing a mean phantom of the opera and get my voice very dark and round at the baritone range, but as I go up into the tenor range I have to rely on head voice and allow me to be thinner, like Geoff Tate and such
      I find it that baritones, since they need to use more head voice sooner, appear thinner and more lyrical at the high range than tenors as tenors can get more chest up to that range, but if I would sing opera with a low larynx and maximum unplugged resonance, I'd stick to the baritone range and my voice there sounds more like a dramatic baritone would sound, I'd probably be more comfortable with these kind of roles in an opera context (where these labels actually have meaning)

    I really hate when tenors/Baritenors with more body to their voice try to pose as baritones. An A5 as a britone..? Yeah ok. The most we can do as a natural born baritone without falsetto is A4, MAYBE C5. If you're going above the 5th octave you are not a baritone. Or you have unique anatomy. So annoying.

    • @LeoMaiaProg
      @LeoMaiaProg  11 месяцев назад +2

      I didn't mean to annoy you, but I think you are conflating vocal fach with range. Range is range, and that includes your falsetto. Typically baritones have more range than tenors because there's more vocal chord mass to stretch with CT muscles. What you're seeing in this video is a bunch of CT muscles and head voice in the top notes. These are notes that I've spent 15-20 years not being able to hit, thinking my classical teachers imposed vocal fach would limit me. Vocal fach only matters on a classical music context, where you need to fit the color of the characters and hit such notes in a certain register with low larynx covered style of singing, which really defines if you'll be able to cut through the orchestra frequencies in the unplugged environment with not microphones or not. But in a rock context, against guitars with a microphone, you switch to a higher larynx position and emphasize the second harmonics of the voice, which allows you to sing with head voice and still be super heard in the context of the mix.
      A natural baritone cannot sing a C5 without falsetto, you are totally right, I cannot sing it without head voice at all. I switch to full head voice at G#4. I start mixing at C4. I go as low as a C#2 on my chest range. I've been classified as a baritone my entire life being told I couldn't sing what I wanted to sing until I found the right techniques to make my head voice and mixed voice sound how I wanted it to. What you're hearing in this video (top note being a D5) is not chest voice until the very lowest notes. Once I learned that I could just use my falsetto and add chord closure through cry and shape the resonance through vowels to sound like this, I finally sang what I wanted to sing. I had to stop trying to sing chest voice and just use head voice way earlier to get there.
      Didn't mean to annoy you.
      Cheers have a great day

      I disagree here, the A#4 is not very chesty but I could even belt it very chesty, it's very thin in comparison to how thick and heavy my chest voice is. I have another short video in the channel with my vocal range demonstration and you can see how thick and heavy my C2 is
      Baritones can mix past the tenor C with technique and practice. Vocal fachs doesn't really mean anything for contemporary rock singing, it's only important for opera, with a mic and technique, a baritone can sing almost anything... It's not a limitation, it's a system to match characters and singers, based on where the singer has the most resonance and color (in this case, my voice is more powerful and resonant in the baritone range, it's also where I'm most comfortable). In order to mix high like this I lose some volume and resonance which would make me not able to sing opera in this range, but with a mic, we can sing anything
      Another example of a channel of a baritone that can sing pretty low and has insane high mix range is "Bohemian Vocal Studio" check him out for an example on how high a baritone can mix 🙌 he has some pretty good vocal covers
