MAN I DON'T F***** BELIEVE IT HAHAHAHAHA It took me 4 years of intense studying to find ALL OF THOSE steps on my own.... And now I see exactly the same technique taught by someone else... that's so amazing when you see someone else saying the same things that you found out on your own... it kind of connects everything, makes it feel like I've really got it right!!! Thank you for sharing the "secret" with the world!

What do you mean by break? I have zero idea of whats going on and i cant even sing lmao

break happens when u aren't able to transition smoothly from chest to head voice.Its that funny yodelly Sound. It is also known as a crack

Out of 30000000000000 videos ive clicked to get a better understanding of belting and mixed voice. Just 2 of your vids tought me more than all the other ones combined. Keep it up!

[@tabletmulti]

II've seen a million videos of singing teachers on youtube, but NONE is as good as this video. The hint of allow the "breakes" helped me a lot. I had a habit of singing everything very hard, pushing too much, in vocalises and songs. I'm getting to understand the lightness in the hight notes for the first time. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

This just solved my biggest singing problem

[@shainhenson3990]

6yrs ago this would of been very difficult to understand, but it’s so enlightening to me now

[@NoahOD_22]

This video was very helpful. I already kind of had a mix developed, but I had trouble putting any power behind it. I saw improvement almost immediately after doing these exercises. I still have quite a bit of work to do, but this definitely helped a lot.

[@adammishan]

That's awesome! Great to hear

[@LouMasterFlex3]

How is it now?

[@NoahOD_22]

LouMasterFlex3 actually very good. I’ve put a lot of work into my head voice over the last few years, and I’m extremely comfortable in it and use it a lot. Once I built the foundation with my headvoice, the mix voice kind of came along naturally (hence ‘mix voice’, you have to have a well developed chest voice as well as head voice, so you have something to actually mix). It all just takes time and building the muscle memory, but give it enough time and you’ll be able to achieve it

[@gnomik33]

Hello, Adam! Thank you very much! No, not just thank as kind gesture. THANK YOU HONESTLY. Compression and nasal resonance were already quite familiar to me, but nobody! AGAIN! NOBODY TOLD ME that if I fucking rasp or break (excuse me for my language)while light mixing, It is not bad and my cords are not retarded by nature (I am baritone). If I will die sooner that you, I will tell god (if he exists and i will go to heaven) that you are a person who helped me to clear my hesitations and reach my dream (because I am not going to stop until ill sing radiohead - creep (in original tone)

[@rtjwlp89]

Wow Adam you really know what your talking about my friend, all these years I’ve felt breaking honestly was natural when ascending and even with just certain notes but it’s so taboo in singing no one feels you should do it when in reality it’s very natural and good for the voice as you stated. That’s actually how my belts gained more strength over time. Great stuff, great advice 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

[@Gunpowdermuzik]

Most singing videos arent helpful. This is very useful

[@AlejoEzequielVigo]

Such a great video. Instant suscribe. The background music was a little too loud at times but maybe that's just me. Thank you so much for all the awesome tips! Cheers

[@hetedeleambacht6608]

the mistery and taboo of mixed voice/male head voice clarified. You could say this is the core of the gender debate/male female roles etc in a nutshell. Vulnerability is taboo in our society, especially for men. But when accepted and used it yields the greatest power for all of mankind....

[@marilynmelnick8907]

sorry adam all the vocal coaches i listen to say dont worry about cracking btw i listen to you all the time you r one of the first i listen to when i first started. ps. im not mar

[@innovert99]

This may be an old video but I hope you know that this video has helped me find my mixed voice placement. Thank you so much!!!

[@d2197v]

The only thing I have never seen a vocal coach discuss is what happens when you cross the passagio multiple times. An up scale slide in ascending/descending order easier to master. As a tenor I can sing Chaka Khan's through the fire with power and ease as it sits mid chest then middle of mix in a higher placement. However give me Bruno Mars Grenade and I'm crossing through a lower smaller sounding mix the passagio or the edge 90% of a chest belt if not focused(sounds like a shout). So I've tried the lower volume and then the song sounds like light head mix. Please offer a take on this. I know other singers have to have this problem because as singers we don't always gravitate to songs that are easy to sing. My immediate fix for Gernade is raise the key half step or whole step to adjust an easier transitions. Oddly singing it on the phrase mum mum in the original key my voice finds the right placement and volume. Add the words and its a huge mess. Hope my mess of comments make sense. Love your channel, been following for years. BTW i ask this questions to various channels.

[@MissIrisMoon]

When I used to take singing lessons, I had trouble with the "hard mix" (I was more of a natural light mixer) but I eventually learned to go as high as F5 (I'm a girl). Now I barely get a good D5, but your exercises made me feel again that "right" sensation of ease and I went up to E5. I think this is definitely one of the best videos on the topic.

So THAT is why all of a sudden I sound like a runaway trombone when I try stuff above g#...

It does actually come out pretty powerful when it happens... Genius :) Thank you for video.

[@Ashdaesq]

i took speech level singing lessons, bough countless programs and books for the past 12 years and I everything is finally clicking these days... the mix/ full voice/ supported singing - is something that I thought was supposed to be a different event going on when in actuality it's really all just one voice... i think simply it's broken to into two phenomena going on as one increases in pitch and "mixes" 1. resonance is shifting. in order to keep the sound consistent and strong...one has to let the sound move to where it resonates best in that part of his/her individual range. the higher you go...the thinner (more pointed) the sound needs to be in order to keep the volume consistent and the sound resonates in the head. the lower you go...the thicker the sound gets. the sound resonates in the mouth and throat. 2. is the cord closure. this video said it best...there has to be a cry (supported sound) underneath each note in order for the chest musculature to be activated. otherwise the sound...though it may be clean and thin will only go but so far. each of these different parts of the voice all blend to make one instrument. one thing I will say SLS taught that did me huge disservice and set me back for years was to nix the concept of "support" and let it come naturally with cord closure. at least for me...that didn't work and produced this weak unsupported tone that I am now still working to get rid of these days... this video told me im going in the right direction! thanks

[@adammishan]

Thank you for sharing your experience. It does not sound unlike my own experience with SLS

[@corystajduhar]

Adam Mishan Me too.

[@shagstars]

I thought belting was without headvoice. So that means that I always belt my high notes then.

[@majormoistme1030]

I sing loud in general, theatre kid voice hehe so it sounds like I’m belting most of my notes

[@niklasstratmann1244]

Thank you Adam! I've been trying to improve my mixed voice for a while now as I've been confronted with it often and your videos have definitly helped me out with that a lot. As in right now, I'm a Baritone with a comfortable range of D#2 to D4 and I found my mixed that currently goes up to a G4, but especially on the F and the G I feel really unsafe. It just sounds like pure yelling to me and it also hurts my vocal chords a little bit. Is that normal in the beginning of developing a mixed voice? I'm definitly going to look for vocal coaching on improving my mixed, but can you perhaps help me out with my concerns right now? Thanks a lot -Nick

[@adammishan]

Hi Nick, a good rule of thumb in singing is - "if it hurts... STOP!" If it is hurting that means you are doing it incorrectly and have to find a different approach

[@rolandzamora4624]

I always seem to lose air or steam. Anything you can recommend to solve this issue ? Great video !!! I learned a lot !!! See you in American Idol !!!

[@fernandolehmann2113]

I used have this, try to sing in front of a mirror, what do you notice? If you notice your shoulder going up or your chest area expanding, this might be the issue in loosing the air stream. Use the diaphragm for inhaling and expand your body (like when you are wearing a flotation when swimming as a kid). Hope it helps out ... 😊🙏🏻

[@legitsting4774]

I dunno if you read these, but can you make a new video on the last lesson on going too far? There are a few things that confuse me. Appreciate the free lessons!!

Anthony.C we hold back the air by crying or moaning underneath the tone which brings the vocal cords together very efficiently

[@masonkyle6318]

My voice is so used to pushing, it doesn't even know how to accidentally flip anymore. Do you think I should start by intentionally cracking on the higher notes to "un-learn" the push? Thank you for the video!

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

Good video Adam, but you really didn't discuss Belting. Are you planning a sequel?

[@adammishan]

Hey Bob, thanks for the comment! Yes there will be a sequel. However, this video does deal with belting nearing the end. It is a step by step guide to build the right coordinations in the voice to start singing high notes with power and at the end of the day isn't that what belting is all about?

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

Yes, but belting can also include singing notes or lines in songs that require punchy, intense, short power bursts. A video on this would be great.

[@adammishan]

+VIDEOHEREBOB Will do. I appreciate the input!

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

Great, a perfect example would be a song like "Hot Blooded."

Hey Adam! This video and your Head Voice Video are incredible! Thank you very much ! I Have one question: My Vocal Cords come together when i sing in Chest Voice and also come together in higher Head Voice. But when i try some Sirens in Full Voice(!) for example, while i sing through my Bridge, my voice sounds like Vocal Fry. When i go higher, the cords come together again. Is this normal and i must first try this in a lighter voice? If it is wrong, how can i fix this? Best Regards from Germany, Yannick
