I took the Christina Aguilera MasterClass n I didn't learn not even the 10% that I been learning just in your channel. Isn't about money, isn’t about a vocal coach, it’s about interest n practice. N love of course, like Chris.
JoDaHobNob I recently discovered that listening to Nate Reuss from FUN. really helped because he sing super freely and without too much studio effects.
I did this on my own many years ago and it's how I learned I could sing. You have to get through the ugly sounds to get to the pretty ones, just like you have to paint ugly pictures before you get good at painting pretty ones.
You are by far the best vocal coach on RUclips when it comes to teaching rock singing. I feel other teachers show exercises that require substantial skill prior to even doing the exercises, but you show the honest process that even a very beginner could begin to implement. Love your lessons Chris!!
Gonna practice this tomorrow deep in a forest and far away from any human ears. Really cool stuff! Also like that Chris is a songwriter giving tips for those who prefer to write their own songs rather than sing covers. Thanks for this clip and regards from Switzerland.
You are the real MVP/ MVVC All the other “RUclips vocal coaches” give a 2minute biology lesson without anyway of us knowing what they mean but YOU make it so much easier to experience and understand. THANK YOU!!!
1) Fry sensation should be above the voicebox and not below it 2) Stay in a constant state of mild mixed voice all the time Number one was a huge eye opener for me and explains all of my problems and validates all of my successes regarding distortion. Number two is something I recently discovered alone and is nice to hear it articulated here. Great info in this video.
I am 80 years old and have been learning to sing about 1 year. I can sing in a mixed voice with no effort. I have sung mixed at F2 in Old Man River, In A5 in Summertime etc...
I always know I'm in mix when I feel the resonance flip up into my head/nasal area. Like it goes from being in your throat/mouth area, to right in the back of your throat around the soft palate. And the higher you go, the higher and lighter the resonance feels.
CHRIS!!! You saved me tonight! I was trying to very hard to record the vocals for my upcoming EP. I thought I had messed my voice for today and was about to call it quits BUT OUT OF FRUSTRATION I came to this video and the mixed voice one (the Robert Plant/Chris Cornell one) and the input I got from there got me going so hard I think I nailed them voice lines! THANK YOU LOTS!!
So true Chris. A lot of beginning singers are told to avoid this type of phonation and as a result go nowhere fast. I cry in just about everything I sing. The top tier guys I grew up with all have varying degrees of cry in their voices.
The cry makes us bring our arytenoids cartilages together and also activate the body of our vocal folds, both of which bring us closer to the chest voice sound anywhere in our range. Long time no see Bob, I always remember you from the TMV forums with Robert Lunte, and your passion for Lou Gramm, your comments always helped me find or reassure some of my rules in my singing philosophy, thanks for that. I hope you're well, cheers man
Thank you really much, you're the only one that helped me to get really well to high notes with a great tone in a sort of hardrock style. I could reach a D#5 without any effort when i was able just to a A#5 and with a lot of tension before. Thank you very much, the best vocal coach on RUclips
junaidesse One thing that massively helped me is to understand that, to go higher, you have to sing with less volume instead of more. It's weird but it does help a lot. Experiment with decreasing volume until you get rid of the airiness.
Youandi Hoefman to an extent.. not if you want to be able to belt. But you should have a good foundation (being able to hit those higher notes softer) before trying to belt too
@@MetalliBucket It's funny because while belting does make more noise, at least to me, it doesn't feel like trying to make more noise. You're not pushing the sound, you're shaping it. That's what it feels like to me. If I try to belt trying to make it sound louder, it doesn't work. Like I said however, this is what helps me, so don't take it as gospel, it might be different for others :)
@@youandijmh7998 same, it doesn’t feel like raising the volume per se even though that’s what’s happening regardless, it feels like focusing and shaping the sound
Would love to see a video on how to apply singing musically, how to combine lyrics with a melody to create a vocal line, it’s something i struggle with and maybe others do too!
Thank You Chris. Its the missing puzzle in my journey of singing for 3 years learning from youtube. In short summary 1. Exercise lip/tough/hum/nay/guf 2. Mixed voice exercise 3. Compressed abdomen muscle see video.Hahaha
Wow! Chris...... this is about my 6th time I have worked through this video singing with you. It gets better each time, and I am able to relax more and more. I can hardly believe that I can reach these notes you are singing as I am a Baritone. WOW! Thanks again for all your hard work in sharing these techniques with all the world. God Bless you Chris!!
I have been watching your videos for last 2 years and finally i am able to sing with mixed voice. This is all thanks to your great teachings. Thank you so much.
I keep coming back to this, this is literally the MOST helpful singing guide I've ever come across for mixed voice. Today is my birthday and I got a 4k camera, I now have 2 condenser mics plus the wiring(sound cards pre amp and a splitter(?) I think its called so I can sing and play at the same time. I am noticing the difference in my singing, it's not wonderful by any means but it IS 100% better than it was and your the reason❤
Thank you for keeping posting these, I'm getting it down and you're giving me lots of ways to approach this and not give up, don't stop please I'm getting close
Chris ............... such a great video on Mixed Voice. WOW! You explain it so well. I love it that you also demonstrate it with your own voice. Somehow this makes it easier to emulate it myself after I hear you do it. I am going to watch this over and over. I feel like for the last 50 years I have been living in a 2 story house and never really been able to use the top floor. I feel after watching this, that it is really possible to access the top floor. Thanks a lot. God bless you Chris!!
Damn. I must say you were the only one that solve my problem. I didn't know how to feel it or if iwas singing with mixed voice. Thx helps a lot. Psdt: I'm going to try it on my backyard with my cat to cover my noises:v
This guy has so much fun at work X) Is there a compilation of this somewhere?? The world need to know. Its really good help in so many ways. There has to be so many hours of Chris making silly sounds.
I had no clue where do begin when trying to learn mixed voice. This video gave me a great starting foundation, and I was able to do the things demonstrated here where I couldn't have before. Thanks!
Chris, your advices help me so much! I was very anxious to record myself singing on an EP but thanks to you I will be able to post songs starting next month :D Am so happy
I’m a singer exploring and in the process of gaining better understanding and control if head/mix etc. So I appreciate this video series. Secondary benefit: The next noisy neighbor you have, start looping around 3:32 and crank it.😂
Have you ever made a video with a student? It would be SO helpful to take one of these topics (like mixed voice, that's easy to try and experiment with, but hard to KNOW if you are really doing) and see you work with a couple students of various experience levels as they try to figure it out. We'd see them fail and succeed, and hear you identify their failures and successes that we might be also experiencing. It would be even more valuable than your (fantastic) vocal play and experimentation. Like the vocal master classes they do in college.
Was finally able to access mixed voice with your advice, even though I've been experimenting and following different courses for 2 years now. Thank you!
This is pretty cool! I struggled with mixed voice for a while and this helped me a bit for that although it sorta made my head voice stronger on the higher note you sung for a demonstration lol. I'm not sure if it's cuz my chest voice is being slightly mixed in because it doesn't sound very falsetto-like and it feels light but I can put in a bit more power without straining but it still sounds head voice like. I know the things I said is confusing which is why I'm going to do some more practice on this!
Wow thanks again. Been following your ideas for just a few days and already noticing vast improvements. It's getting easier to keep everything connected, where all my sounds from crazy and non human to straight singing with and without distortion, inhale and exhale sounds, beat box and bird, harmonics and normal, etc. available with lightning speed in the flow of the music. I've been doing basic things for many years, but was on a plateau for a long time not knowing the details of the anatomy, like where my distortion box actually is. Been doing the monk drone for years not really knowing where the low buzz comes from. All this breath training and playing with all the tone filters in our pipes is really powerful in relaxing my approach, a big endorphin buzz comes as a result of many of the things you show. The details I get from coaches like you is helping me better be able to speak about the odd noises I do intelligibly.
Amazing! Probably the best mixed voice lesson out there. It's coming from someone who has watched (tried) tens of youtube lessons on this topic (since last many years).
WTF I FOUND MY MIX! After 2 years of "mix training on nay and gu" i just unlocked a feeling that i never had, shit! ^^. Thank You so much I am so grateful for these free lessons.
Recently I started to practice a song with a quite high mixed notes and I realized that I just can't sing them because my mixed voice breaks into a pure head voice around D4 and even that D4 sounds very tensed and not sustain. After 3 minutes of doing this easy exercise shown in the video I managed to find a comfortable position in my voice so I could hit relaxed E5. Yeah that's just a note and it doesn't mean that I can sing something that high right away but I didn't even think that I'm capable to sing that high, that's freakin' crazy! Thank you so much!
I feel the answer is very simple. As long as your pushing your soft pallet back and keeping your tounge resting on the bottom of your jaw. Then your golden. Then it's just focusing on your vocal folds and air compression.
Wow, this is the only video on mix voice that has helped me, and I’ve watched a fair few. Only one question, when Chris says “I’m tempted to use my neck to get compression, don’t do it!“ I’m never really sure when I’m doing compression whether I am actually adding in pressure in my neck instead of only in my abs. I wonder if anyone else has any thoughts or ideas? After singing 3 to 4 songs in this new mix voice, I found my throat gets a little raspy and husky, someone even commented I sound like I’m getting a cold…
So I just buried my face in a pillow and went to town. I'm making sounds I've never made before!!! I think I'm starting to understand how support from the bottom makes those high notes possible.
I am doing my morning shopping right now while listening to your video on my headphones and suddenly I burst into laughter in the middle of the store because I realized I chose to listen to a man screaming weird noises into my ears as a good start into the day. By the way the video is also really helpful for its original purpose. Thank you.
Yoko Ono would be proud of some of these sounds. Joking aside, it makes me feel better when I hear others sound like this while developing mix and feeling things out.
Hey Chis! Thanks for all the brilliant videos! Funnily, your tutorial on fry/rasp, especially the goofily feeling oscillation between head and chest voice got me into a kind of mixed, raspy voice. After probably being used to the right kind of tension and attempting to following your tips of singing like Chester Bennington, I somehow slipped into the mixed voice and it immediately felt like my "rasp register", only clean. Maybe this path is reproducible and helps others already experimenting with fry etc. although you probably need to be super careful with your voice there!
GOOD MORNING FROM NEW ENGLAND...IVE COMMENTED ON A FEW OTHER VOCAL VIDS. PRIOR (LAYNE STALEY, CHRIS CORNELL, MAYNARD...) AND AM AMAZED I DIDNT REALLY MESS MY VOICE UP WHEN I WAS SINGING IN BANDS MANY YRS. AGO...HOWEVER, HAVING A SISTER AND OTHER FAMILY THAT HAVE GREAT SINGING VOICES THAT I SEEMED TO HAVE PICKED SOME STUFF UP ALONG THE WAY THAT I HADNT BEEN AWARE OF...W/ THAT SAID, I WAS DEF. NOT DOING IT THE RIGHT WAY..AND BY GOING BACK TO THE BANDS AND SINGERS I LIKE AND APPLYING YOUR TEQS. , I AM QUICKLY GAINING STRENGTH VOCAL AND CONFIDENCE WISE, FOR IVE FOUND I CANT SING CONVINCEINGLY IF IM UPTIGHT AND EMBARASSED...IM A DRUMMER AT HEART AND HAVE BEEN PLAYING FOR MANY YRS. AND AM INTERSTED IN CHECKING OUT SOME OF YOUR PRODUCTION RELATED VIDS...IM A MUCH BETTER ENGINER AND AT PRODUCTION STUFF, BUT THIS IS SUCH A WELLROUNDED CHANEEL IM SURE ILL FIND WHAT IM LOOKING FOR...THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK...PEACE FROM THE NORTHEAST....
Another Great Video - tomorrow I will give it all a go. But I want to re-emphasize my previous comments on your channel that the quality of your videos really make an immeasurable difference in the listenability of your lessons, especially for a topic that rides across such a significant dynamic range. Do you do all of the video/audio recordings and post-production yourself? Keep up the great work.
Thank you thank you thank you. I've discovered my mixed voice thanks to you. You're the best. I'm singing for an hour now.😂 I'm afraid if I stop singing, it would go away.😥 Will I forget it like that if I stopped singing for a minute?😢
Hey there Chris! Hope youre doing well! I quite like your videos! I'm mostly a guitar player but would love to be able to sing as well which i am bad at. But unlike guitar where i learnt things through a progression (chrods shapes> chord changes> strumming> picking > scales etc) I am unsure as to where i should start with for singing. Are there daily vocal trainings we can do to get better, like how i practice guitar daily to get better? Could you make a video or playlist on that, about daily vocal practices on getting better at singing? Thank You!
2:15 "be ready to be stupid"
-My time has come
i was born ready
Hahahaha! 🤘🤣🤣🤣
RUclips gold right here, no one else talks about this from such a human and practical standpoint
You should’ve said, “But don’t poop.”
Hundreds of youtubers with authority issues would have simultaneously shat themselves in defiance.
I took the Christina Aguilera MasterClass n I didn't learn not even the 10% that I been learning just in your channel.
Isn't about money, isn’t about a vocal coach, it’s about interest n practice.
N love of course, like Chris.
Totally man. We've found a gem, in Chris
Thank you Chris 💚💚
David Moncayo how much wa xtina master class
Xtina can't sing too so
After years of feeling stuck with my singing, I am finally improving due to this channel. Thank you so much.
JoDaHobNob I recently discovered that listening to Nate Reuss from FUN. really helped because he sing super freely and without too much studio effects.
me too!
Chris helped me to understand the way to sing in mixed voice. Spent a year watching trash with no progress.
Same here.
same here. awesome person.
I did this on my own many years ago and it's how I learned I could sing. You have to get through the ugly sounds to get to the pretty ones, just like you have to paint ugly pictures before you get good at painting pretty ones.
YEP... Exactly!
i like how you giggle after you make a weird sound. i think its a way of saying ourselves ' its ok, dont feel ashamed'
You are by far the best vocal coach on RUclips when it comes to teaching rock singing. I feel other teachers show exercises that require substantial skill prior to even doing the exercises, but you show the honest process that even a very beginner could begin to implement. Love your lessons Chris!!
I know what you mean. Bohemian Vocal Studio explains things too, but he then does the very thing you talk about in your comment
Gonna practice this tomorrow deep in a forest and far away from any human ears. Really cool stuff! Also like that Chris is a songwriter giving tips for those who prefer to write their own songs rather than sing covers. Thanks for this clip and regards from Switzerland.

Number 1 just completely opened my eyes and discovered my mix with volume thank you bro. Only on tall values rn
I am 80 years old and have been learning to sing about 1 year. I can sing in a mixed voice with no effort. I have sung mixed at F2 in Old Man River, In A5 in Summertime etc...
Wow! What do you feel is more responsible for mixed voice- falsetto, or chest voice?
null null Mine feels like Falsetto with vocal fry
@@huimang1463 I so agree! And working on a very loose falsetto with no constriction made my belting feel limitless.
null null I dont know if this is mix and Im worried
4:00 as if I'm about to poop. You've seen me do this in other videos..
Take the 'as if' out
You guys aren't subbed to his only fans? Shame.....
😂😂😂
MAN This is the KEY video to do all that rock/heavy metal clean vocals and also dial the feel of fry. Pure Gold!
I always know I'm in mix when I feel the resonance flip up into my head/nasal area. Like it goes from being in your throat/mouth area, to right in the back of your throat around the soft palate. And the higher you go, the higher and lighter the resonance feels.
Yep, this description is right on!
Just out of curiosity, do you also feel a vibration extending on the entire upper teeth?
@@valentinawilliams94 you should yes

How to eliminate cracks, breaks, airyness, inconcistencies etc, and smoothen out the mixed voice?
^this would greatly help, thanks

@Alex That's plain false. Amplitude and frequency are orthogonal properties.
10:44 For those wondering what mixed voice feels like.
Best tutor for heavy vocals on the internet
Finding the feeling is definitely the key. Adding power to the other registers through compression is definitely in my awareness now. Thank you! 🙌🏻🤘🏻
Would love to see a video on how to apply singing musically, how to combine lyrics with a melody to create a vocal line, it’s something i struggle with and maybe others do too!
I got similar idea, though I got problem with lining up lyrics with the rhythm.
Thank You Chris. Its the missing puzzle in my journey of singing for 3 years learning from youtube. In short summary
1. Exercise lip/tough/hum/nay/guf
2. Mixed voice exercise
3. Compressed abdomen muscle see video.Hahaha

THANKS A LOT because of your coaching on "How Mixed Voice Should Feel," I can now sing "Open Arms" which was impossible for me to sing, BEFORE.
This is it!! I'm been having trouble with the mixed voice (couldn't find it) and the transition to head. I nearly gave up. You're the best! Thanks CL!
You really do teach so much that others cant this is my favorite "how to" type of videos Bravo my guy!
Honestly, I ended up having to go to the bathroom after following you on compressing my lower stomach muscles. Keep up the good work!

I'd love to see a video on Nate Reuss from FUN. because he has an amazing technique. When I try to imitate his style I completely lose tension.
Nice, now I need to train sing that without so much tension under the chin
Thank you. I'm learning something new
Hey Chris,
I've been loving your videos. They've been one of the best in helping me improve.
I was wondering if you're looking for an intern at all?
Hadn't really thought about it :) Might be an interesting idea! What are you interested in doing?
Amazing! Probably the best mixed voice lesson out there. It's coming from someone who has watched (tried) tens of youtube lessons on this topic (since last many years).
Hey man, your work there is amazing. Can you please make a video about singing like Joe Duplantier from Gojira?

Thank you for your motivating videos. I find them great. The efforts you make to explain how to work with one's voice I really admire.
I'm really frustrated, I feel like I'm in the right ballpark but it just doesn't click. There's a distinctive break every time from chest to falsetto.
try experimenting with adding compression right as you feel you're about to break!
3:19 Great Scott Walker impression!
Yoko Ono would be proud of some of these sounds. Joking aside, it makes me feel better when I hear others sound like this while developing mix and feeling things out.
Hey Chis! Thanks for all the brilliant videos! Funnily, your tutorial on fry/rasp, especially the goofily feeling oscillation between head and chest voice got me into a kind of mixed, raspy voice. After probably being used to the right kind of tension and attempting to following your tips of singing like Chester Bennington, I somehow slipped into the mixed voice and it immediately felt like my "rasp register", only clean. Maybe this path is reproducible and helps others already experimenting with fry etc. although you probably need to be super careful with your voice there!
It seems that I have not said it yet. Thanks for this. Nice add-on for your course. Beautiful and true moral of the story, before the track.
Awesome! Thanks so much!
12:52 was pretty awesome! That's what I'm hoping for..
Hey Chris! Thanks for all you do for us!... Can you please make a video about Tom Chaplin and Luis Miguel style of singing? Gracias...
I love your approach !! Thank you very much
GOOD MORNING FROM NEW ENGLAND...IVE COMMENTED ON A FEW OTHER VOCAL VIDS. PRIOR (LAYNE STALEY, CHRIS CORNELL, MAYNARD...) AND AM AMAZED I DIDNT REALLY MESS MY VOICE UP WHEN I WAS SINGING IN BANDS MANY YRS.

NOT DOING IT THE RIGHT WAY..AND BY GOING BACK TO THE BANDS AND SINGERS I LIKE AND APPLYING YOUR TEQS. , I AM QUICKLY GAINING STRENGTH VOCAL AND CONFIDENCE WISE, FOR IVE FOUND I CANT SING CONVINCEINGLY IF IM UPTIGHT AND EMBARASSED...IM A DRUMMER AT HEART AND HAVE BEEN PLAYING FOR MANY YRS.

Another Great Video - tomorrow I will give it all a go. But I want to re-emphasize my previous comments on your channel that the quality of your videos really make an immeasurable difference in the listenability of your lessons, especially for a topic that rides across such a significant dynamic range. Do you do all of the video/audio recordings and post-production yourself? Keep up the great work.
I think I got it I've never been so excited
Absolutely love your teaching approach. 👍
Glad you're resonating with it :) !!
Thank you thank you thank you. I've discovered my mixed voice thanks to you. You're the best. I'm singing for an hour now.😂 I'm afraid if I stop singing, it would go away.😥 Will I forget it like that if I stopped singing for a minute?😢
Hey there Chris!
Hope youre doing well!
I quite like your videos! I'm mostly a guitar player but would love to be able to sing as well which i am bad at. But unlike guitar where i learnt things through a progression (chrods shapes> chord changes> strumming> picking > scales etc) I am unsure as to where i should start with for singing. Are there daily vocal trainings we can do to get better, like how i practice guitar daily to get better? Could you make a video or playlist on that, about daily vocal practices on getting better at singing? Thank You!
