On of my many youtube teacher here on youtube. Having relgiously done the vocal exercises for awhile I have noticed I have indeed improved tremendously. Thank you 🙏

Aw thanks

“Your vocal coach” is Daniel Formica’s line 😉

Hahaha, I don't know who that is. So I still have it reserved.

Hi Matt, I've been working on my mixed voice recently and it's a game changer in the way you hit high notes. How do you practice the mixed voice in relation to singing songs where you're coming up to a high note and you have to engage your mixed voice. I still have to consciously think about it like "I'm about to use the mixed voice 😂". Where should you breath just before using the mixed voice? 🤔 I really want to learn how to do it correctly.

[@ramseyvoicestudio]

At first you may have to consciously choose to sing in mixed voice. That’s alright. But over time, try to make those transitions more smooth

[@Elwon20]

This is great advice for joining head and chest, but it's not what i personally would refer to as mixed. Just falsetto with good chord closure.

[@ramseyvoicestudio]

But that's exactly what mixed voice is! Mode 2 with a high closed quotient. I'll agree that for some singers, this version of "reinforced falsetto" may still be too light. However, for most of my really strainy, chesty singers, this works perfectly!

[@Elwon20]

@ramseyvoicestudio yeah I guess for my definition this is too light to be called mixed. I view closed + connected as a necessary steps towards mixed, but mixed is bringing down head to a chestier/darker quality. I realise though that terminology in singing is incredibly vague and mixed (no pun intended), and that there is no true right and wrong on this one. Regardless, it's a great video for learning to stop pulling chest. 🫡

[@anton_s52]

hey there, i've got a question while trying to get better at singing. where do you find your resonance in mixed voice? I feel like it's more in my head but should it be more in front/nose or more to the throat?

[@ramseyvoicestudio]

Every singer feels it differently.

[@jessyfabien6736]

Hey Matt, I just have One Simple Question : Do you use Vowel Modification @ 0m42 when you go into your Mix ??? For example with the EE Vowel , it sounds more like the French vowel "U"....Thank You for your Answer..

[@ramseyvoicestudio]

Hey Jessy, yes it is passive vowel modification. Strictly speaking, narrow vowels such as "ee" and "ooh" will need to have the jaw drop slightly as you go through the passages in order to track the first formant better. If I don't drop the jaw a bit, then the "ee" would flip or squeeze (or both).

[@mement0_m0ri]

Why is easier for me to make really high whistle notes (above a D6) very loud, but I can't put any power behind the lower notes of my falsetto? What is wrong with my vocal chords?

[@ramseyvoicestudio]

This is very common. Especially if your voice has changed recently.

[@Kwepso.]

you make it too easy for us :) thank you so much Ramsey

[@ramseyvoicestudio]

Happy to hear that!

[@Kwepso.]

@@ramseyvoicestudiobeen taught by your vids for under half a year and i was able to sing my dad his favourite song on pitch already, it made him really happy. (Wish you were here by pink floyd) I was very monotone and always stuck with lower notes because of being scared to make mistakes, hearing my first clean higher notes through the 10 vocal warmup video gave me confidence again so thank you for that too. Do you still make some music? Im curious to hear what you sound(ed) like making records. Have a great day.

[@GuidedByTheHolySpirit-2025]

I’m still trying to understand the difference between pulling the chest voice up and belting in full voice 🤔

[@ramseyvoicestudio]

Pulling up chest voice will sound strained, flat and unpleasant. Belting will be on pitch, yet powerful.

[@winmodegaming1024]

I love your videos! It helps me improve so much thankyou sm for your hardwork sir!💗🪷

[@ramseyvoicestudio]

You're so welcome!

[@ramseyvoicestudio]

What about it?

[@Mike-c8x]

@@ramseyvoicestudio Just my own little time stamp….

[@FedoraRose]

But now I’m just singing it in falsetto, how do i fix that?

[@ramseyvoicestudio]

Some of the yawny sound should thicken it into head voice

[@mradaChris]

I don't think I have a falsetto

[@ramseyvoicestudio]

I bet you do Chris!

[@Fiascopia]

Some things that helped me find it were: - Do not strain for it - Think about 'discovering' your voice rather than 'using it' - Don't do what you do already - because that clearly does not work! You need to find new muscles, imagine yourself needing EXTREME rehabilitation and your muscles are totally wasted away, it's probably going to feel so gently and light initially and very hard to nail down and might not last long when you find it. - I guess also just did a lot of exercises and experimentation with different sound, but if you can find one sound that you can make that is higher than normal and is 'small', relaxed and 'discovered' then you can keep working with that noise to slowly get it smaller (which will make it higher) and make sure it feel 'discovered' because then you are using different muscles than your usual pushing. I've been learning to sing for years and I am only now approaching mixed voice because I am learning properly but this moment of switching to 'discovering' my voice was definitely an important step along the way, for me.

[@SeanAungier]

The time i discover it is when my falsetto voice is when my voice crack (i'm a teenager) 😂

[@Elwon20]

My trick to finding head voice and then subsequently a falsetto was to find any way to consistently make a sound way about my chest voice. My method was to take vocal fry upwards in a super relaxed manner and eventually I found a weird squeak, it was around A5. After some practice I could make the squeak without vocal frying my way up to it. Then I learned to move the squeak down into head voice and eventually siren up and down between the two. This took some time but simply finding any noise above f4 was a revelation to me!

[@ram-s6y1j]

same here, i only have head voice but don't have falsettos my i tried to find my fasetro but always sound so high and so far in my chest voice

[@LaughterNever-Ends]

I have a question I know to sing but it sounds bad when I record it on my phone how do I fix it

[@ramseyvoicestudio]

Get very focused on exactly what it is that sounds bad (pitch, tone, lack of chest, straining etc) and start working on it

[@LaughterNever-Ends]

@@ramseyvoicestudio okay

[@maxsherritt8242]

What do the chords do in Whistle notes?

[@ramseyvoicestudio]

It's hard to see people sing in whistle on a laryngoscopy because the epiglottis tends to obstruct the view. We think that just the anterior parts of the vocal folds are vibrating. Since there's such a small mass vibrating, the pitch goes super high.

[@maxsherritt8242]

@@ramseyvoicestudio Gotcha. Thank you for the information.

[@jfree336]

Problem is I can’t go into falsetto

[@ramseyvoicestudio]

I’m sure you can!

[@jfree336]

@sonic_ombre Thanks! I will give it a try

[@NTCHuy]

It's when your voice cracks and you sound like a woman

I really don't it, when people use animals in their video's.
