First of all, THANK YOU for using a baritone range for this exercise. All of the male mixing tutorials I’ve ever found are by tenors, so it’s hard to know what mixing is supposed to sound like when we basses start to transition to falsetto at a lower range than them. I feel so much more informed now!

cant fukin find my mix and my chest is not that high i want to find my mix so i can transition and belt out a mix note, instead of transitioning without breaking into a weak falcetto sigh

[@Theylovezah]

Ian Japril mixing is not the answer. you need to strengthen your vocal registers. you need to strengthen your chest voice, not use mix.

[@ianjapril5638]

@@Theylovezah my mix is actually fine the thing is i cant my chest isnt that high and i cant mix and since i cant mix when i belt im so.shouty sometimes since i csnt reach it i will just transition into a connected but weak falcetto thats why i wanna learn how to mix.

[@Theylovezah]

Ian Japril your chest voice needs strengthening and so does your falsetto. mixing isn’t the answer. developing your vocal cords is the important thing.

[@TybudX]

I wish I had teachers like this when I was going through puberty. I got Homer Simpsoned. I went from singing crazy high notes and being able to feel it when I was matching head, chest, and mixed voice, to having a very low baritone and breaking trying to do anytyhing. The people I was looking to for guidance weren't singers or vocally trained so they just wrote me off as being tone deaf because I couldn't just instinctually sing the same way I could before I was went through puberty.

[@AriEncore]

This is so relatable. As a kid I used to sing so flawlessly (from what I remember) but after my teen years my voice was destroyed

[@ryugamingultrapromax]

Holy.. shiz.. for more than 1 year researching about mix voice, this is the one that I feel that I hit the gold... My main problem is chest dragging up to a very tensed chest that sounds like a dying animal... But now, when you said that you have to mix earlier, it hit me.. now I'm on the road on developing my mix 😍 thank you very much!

[@qlimax95]

It's very important to have a balanced mix as well. Because many singers have a Chesty Mix. Or a Heady Mix... OR people use a Masked Head Voice. People like Sohyang have a balanced mix which sounds to me a lot more pleasant for my ears. So making sure you have a balanced mix is also very important. Heady Mix allows you to hit higher notes but may lose some depth from Chest Voice.

[@peterteddy2370]

Queen Sohyang😍

[@jayb.6705]

@Dao Khoi yeah I agree. I feel like if you want more tone you want to use a bit more of a chesty mix, and if you want more ease you use a heady mix.

[@sunsundks3891]

Honestly it depends on the musical context for me.Whitney Houston is amazing in a chesty mix

[@Aj_saaangz]

Im a guy but i have a heady mix is that a problem? my head voice jsut extends very high

[@HogbergPhotography]

Great! Thankyou for not holding back and instead sharing your knowledge, this is the first thing I look for in a vocal coach! If everything has a dollar sign on it, the learning ends up coming second.

[@kevonwill5783]

I LOVE the timing of making this video I literally have been focusing on mix this past week

[@bettercallgabriel]

oh thank god I thought my voice was lower than the usual male singers, I also start mixing around C#4

I start at A4, is that like a tenors range.

[@thenry6769]

@@Thepresenceabove - Thank you, I understand my voice a bit more now! I have an upper extension up to B5 which I had verified by my vocal teacher, and F6 in whistle tone, so I've had a hard time figuring out my voice

[@michaelthem3]

my passaggio starts around E and F, as most tenors, so I start mixing around F# and A, or else my voice starts sounding forced.

[@thenry6769]

@@michaelthem3 - There are two passagios? My first one must be the break I experience at A4/Bb4 then.

[@TDogCA]

Thank you Tara and Jeremy for this video. As a “newish” voice student, I’ve been binging voice-related videos. This is the first and only time I’ve heard anybody mention where the placement is and compare/contrast mix vs. pulling up chest. It was hugely helpful!

[@pinesyeet]

I didn't understand mix at all for a long time. Tried to force it, feel it, change the voice etc to no avail. Until I randomly one evening just got it out of the blue. Now I use it all the time when singing for myself. I feel it in the middle of my head close to my ears, and because of that it really sounds very loud and sharp inside my head. I haven't recorded myself to try and listen if that sound resonates outward or are just so loud inside my head yet though, but I automatically gradually add more and more mix from lower notes anyway so maybe it's not so bad. It's understandable that many have a hard time finding the mix. Anyway, great video!

[@kaifoong0722]

Can you explain, is mixing suppose to be within ur range before switching to head voice?

[@pinesyeet]

@@kaifoong0722 What I've found is that it's hard to just enter mix out of nothing, so what I do is try to keep the tone of my chest voice when going higher than my chest range. Try this: Go to the top of your chest range, then loosen up while holding kind of the pressure for the tone you want. For me the tone is sharp but feels looser than the compressed very top chest range. Note: it's easy to fall out of the mix at first, so practice makes perfect. Tip: Try singing a song thats not too fast and lies on the top of your chest range and try to smoothly loosen up so that you're able to go higher while keeping most of the tone. So answer your question: Being in chest and slowly start to mix from there is what I've found works best for me.

[@kaifoong0722]

@@pinesyeet thank you so much for replying 😊 i will try it out and is it ok if i come back to you with feedback? im scared that im still unable to do it

[@pinesyeet]

@@kaifoong0722 No problem, and sure thing! Just keep in mind I'm in no way a professional singer, I just like to experiment with my voice. But I'll help in any way I can :)

This is exactly what I’ve been trying to learn for years lol 😆

[@ktmus2009]

I am a brand new viewer, (so pretty sure I'm not saying anything you haven't heard before) and I love your videos because not only do you know exactly what I'm thinking, but you are also able to express it perfectly. Your talent for teaching is just as amazing as your talent for singing. That's a good thing!

[@Jbm0230]

I learned the wrong way to sing for 4 years. 4 years. I’ve been pushing my chest up to it’s limits without ever mixing because I never knew what it was supposed to sound/feel like for a bass. I’m trying to relearn and this is one of the best lessons I’ve had.

[@MsSuperCast]

That was an amazing tutorial. I'm so happy I see a teacher who shows you how it is. It is really hard for me to understand when people talk about mixing because I'm not able to apply what they've said. I prefer to see and try . Thanks a lot

[@darksidessj25]

I'm going to incorporate this exercise in my daily routine. I was able to mix all the way up. Thank you so much for this video.

[@robertbowes3118]

Hey Tara I am sure you have been asked to react to Cortney Hadwin. I've heard other vocal coaches say she is damaging her voice. she is to young to do that, I actual love hearing your take on it cause it seems to me you articulate better and I, as well as others. Value and trust your expertise. Thank you. I used to sing but smoking has limited my range, is that common among people who fall into that hideous habit.

[@aimulhalim4111]

Finally I understand my weakness after try to mix, because i pulled chest voice up too high then suddenly want to mix and i cant do it... So we need to mix earlier.. Thankssss

Great video, thanks for taking the time to make this! You should consider placing sound absorption panels on the blank walls next to the window. The room is very reflective, it would make the video audio much clearer as we’d hear the voices more and the room less.

Great job to find our gap between chest voice and mix voice ! But that's not a good way to compare the sound produced by the mixed voice and the one produced by the chest register. Listening to the difference between both makes you better realize... ;)

This exercise can help me to improve my vocal range I love it thankyou🥰

[@bianener]

I have just learned doing mix recently. o have been hitting high notes using chest voice and I have been straining it. I think I have developed it when I have joined a chorale and saw Tenors did it.

[@JohnMacAslan]

Would love a part two that takes the mix voice higher.

[@charlymen15]

Using the "one" exercise, I actually go into my mix/head voice at A3 which is contrary to the popular E4/F4. It's almost like the primary passaggio for tenors is much lower that it's said to be. My mix/head voice starts picking up power on the E4 with full power on G4 but if I wait to switch then it's too late. And when I switch earlier(A3) I don't notice my secondary passaggio(G#4) anymore, I pretty much have one voice from there till the end of my mix/head voice. For perspective, (I think) I'm a leggero tenor since my voice is on the brighter side and I can sustain a clear full voice resonance up to E5.

[@freshboy99r]

I did not know I’ve always had a natural mix voice when hitting high notes, I’ve finally learned to switch mix to head

I can pull my chest up to about an F#, so I wish he went a bit higher, so I could hear how it sounds in the range I would have to use it in. I guess it’s still better to mix early instead of pulling chest, but I would have loved to hear a bit more. Regardless, it was a nice video, I hope I find my mix soon
