Your 'experimental' sections in each of your videos are literally the one thing that sets you apart from other KZfaq vocalists. It's awesome to see you experiment and make mistakes, and know exactly how to go about actually LEARNING to really sound good. This is the only way to do it!

I love how vocal coaches can shamelessly make all these strange noises that would be super embarrassing for normal people, all for the purpose of trying to help others better themselves. I love and respect that kinda stuff. Thank you for the video 🎼

My Dad just asked "what the bloody hell is that noise?!" Where do I even start to explain.

me in my head: that sounds nasal Chris: don't EVER say "that sounds nasal" me: oh, ok

Guys... We've found him. The golden nugget of singing. The one singer to save us all!

1:06 “Helps you to last longer” Tell me about it Johnny

I love how you represent the "ugly" side of discovery. How you show the process of finding the sound first. It's a very realistic example and says directly, "Yeah, its going to sound bad, weird and you're going to screech for a while. But it has to happen." This really sets you apart from others that hand you scales and numerous other drills. You perform the journey and difficulty of discovery to prepare the viewer for this realistic kind of practice necessary to develop further into their voice. That's why I'm watching you now.

It's pretty unbelievable how much FREE content there is for learning to sing or to make music in general. It's the greatest thing that came out of youtube

Dude!!! Since always I wanted to hit high notes but never thought I could actually do it. My falsettos were really high, but I never heard my actual voice with ressonance on a high pitch. There was a ceilling that I couldn't get pass. Doing what you showed us in this video made me do it. What I always thought was impossible just happened, thanks to you! I'm insanely grateful!! Almost cried when I heard myself produce a high note like that!

I have a masters degree in solo singing. I teach classical singing in a music high school and I teach popular songs (rock, pop...) in my private lessons in person or online. I got to say, I've watched a lot of vocal coaches and teachers online and, even though I hate to say it, but a lot of them don't know what they are talking about or teaching others. But you my friend know what you're doing, a lot of the things you teach I also tell my students and I'm glad that you encourage people to experiment with their voice, that's the only real way to improve, and not to be scared of sounding silly. Keep up the good work and all the best to you!

Regarding sounding “too nasal”, I think M. Shadows of Avenged is a good example. If you’re familiar with their catalogue, you’ll know that the first two albums had abundant screaming, and both the singing and screaming sounded fairly different from the rest of their discography. After their second album, Shadows got vocal instruction from someone who had coached Axel Rose in the past, iirc. And the next album, their breakout album City of Evil, marked the most drastic vocal style change of the band’s history. Shadows was more nasally and more gritty, and frequently utilized his mixed voice to allow himself a greater range. And his mixed voice is VERY nasally. It’s clear that he had completely accepted that, in order to get the distortion and the mixed voice range and control that he wanted, he had to place his vocals in a very nasal space. At times, it’s almost cartoon-y how nasal his voice gets, but (in my opinion) it just works for the album because it’s controlled, deliberate, and consistent. The important second part of this story is that-although he was incredibly nasal on City of Evil-for their next album, like two years later, he had essentially *mastered* his mixed voice. He was able to sing those higher notes with tone and control and distortion equal quality to his chest voice. That album and the several years after it are when his voice was at its strongest; Self Titled, Live in the LBC (truly unreal vocal power here), and to a lesser extent, Nightmare. It seems clear to me that he had accepted that, in order to be the best singer he could be, he needed to strengthen his mixed voice starting in a gentler more nasal space, and then move to a more open tone as he became more skilled and his voice became stronger. So even if you sound “too nasal” at the beginning, it’s important to develop the vocal strength and coordination correctly, and allow your voice to become stronger.

Where have you been all my life??!! I have been trying to figure this stuff out for years, paid good money to teachers, spent hours practicing, and you just got me there in MINUTES!! I just have to relearn all my muscle memory I’ve built up in countless hours now....

This is GOLD. Just remember to be careful when experimenting and change your technique if you feel you're forcing it.

The only vocal channel in youtube that really made a difference in my singing

I'm too scared if I do these exercises that a hunter would take me for a old dying hyena and come and shoot me

For the last year or 2 of becoming a self taught vocalist I was so disappointed in my progress and tone until I found your videos. Thank you so much for being generous and handing out very valuable information for FREE. You're amazing for helping us musicians who haven't found our voice yet. I'm getting closer now and I thank you a lot for that. Your videos are so helpful and productive.

i always thought that high vocal range was the kind of thing that you born with and just a few had it. now you are proving me that i can do it and it's helping me a lot . thanks!

My mom walked in because she thought I was watching porn and then she saw Johnny Sins

Seriously, I feel like I’ve been waiting for this video since I was 13. This was the first time I felt like mixed voice is something I could actually do, and not just an arbitrary concept. Thank you for posting!

6:04 and she is bi

He sounded like micky mouse when talking in falsetto

I'm imitating 8:16 and my mom entered my room asking what's happening to me

Cover band musician here. I have to be honest that I hated singing before your videos. I tried to sing backing vocals and such but they were just disaster. With the help of your videos I have been able to discover the singer in me. Obviously I'm not a lead singer or anything like that. But still, you have taught me how to use my voice safely and how to discover the sounds from my body. I am more than grateful to you.

Your falsetto is better than mine. I have an amazing Chest voice. I am 80 years old. I started to have voice lessons about 1 year ago. I can sing (forever?) with my chest voice. I think my voice coach has given me this with exercises.

EXCELLENT VIDEO!! I FINALLY discovered my mixed voice and used it! I sang burn from hamilton and i don't break anymore! my singing is smoother, more natural, i don't scream anymore! That was my first time using my mixed voice and I was so proud to use it for the first time!! the first video that ever helpled me with mixed voice! That's day 1 using my mixed voice so I don't master it at all but I can't wait to sing with mixed voice tomorrow. This video kinda changed my life, thank you!

This is absolutely incredible! I'm just a year into singing and discovering and training my voice to my head voice is the most difficult thing I'm seeing but the way you are demonstrating this it's phenomenal and understandable I have a different awareness about it thank you so much wow!

Chris, you make these tough noises come easy! Watching you experiment really helps to guide the process of learning; thanks for another great video!

Another great video Chris! I love how you use 2 of my favourite singers as examples, especially the segment with Cornell, it’s so cool to hear the roots of the incredible, power and range that Cornell grew into.

Hey Man, thanks a lot! Not only you are providing great information and awesome explanations, you are aslo mitvating me in this uneasy task of learning to sing. Thanks to you I feel like I can get there, even though there was no indication of doing so previously. Your lessons are exactly the material I needed!

This as been one of the most helpful videos I’ve ever come across. Ive been training for a couple years now but recently just trying to reinstate my own knowledge on the voice especially the mixed and your way of explaining and demonstrating is amazing. Thank you!!!!

Love your philosophies and adjectives! The best vocal teacher I've ever seen!

Dude your videos i feel like they are giving me the pieces i was missing to fully developing a voice i can sing with. Really!

Man you can explain stuff so well and your approach is brilliant. Watching 5 clips from you taugth me more then all singing lessons I have ever taken. Thanks a lot and keep it up! 🤟🏻

I am so glad to have found your channel. I’ve started taking voice classes to get back into singing after 20 years. My voice is extremely rusty, but this video is already helping me improve. Thank you so much!

Finally some clarity! You’re incredible! No one on KZfaq comes even close. Thank you so much!

You're a hero, never thought I could even hit the first notes from Immigrant Song but I did just following your explanations, it felt so weird and good having such a relaxed way of singing high

Omg it works! I've never thought I could go higher than my chest voice limit with this tone. Nice job Chris! Thanks!

I finally know what a mixed voice is!!!!!! Thanks to you 😄

your channel is SO GOLD omg. loving it

you’re incredible chris, thank you so much for being you!!

Wish I had a music teacher like you 30 years ago! Love your approach.

Thank you Chris! This actually helped me quite a bit! For a while I´ve been struggling with this technique. Then I just did quieter and softer in my high range and then tried doing what you showed in your belting video and boom there I was singing a high note pretty comfortably. I mean it doesn´t sound "good" but I´m getting there!

I love this! I've always learned better this way. Once I understand how anything feels, the learning comes so naturally! Thanks!

Thank you! This is what i've been looking for in vokal lesson videos. Showing instead of telling, making noises and making foundations to build upon. This is cool, i'm learning!

Chris, I can’t tell you how good it feels to finally figure out where my mixed voice is. I had found it without knowing it a few weeks ago, and today when I was watching this video I did what you said and found what I had been doing. What’s great about it too is that there seems to be some natural vocal fry in the sound of my mixed voice and it’s making it sound very powerful. Thank you for this, everything feels like it’s working well because of you.

My chest voice is so huge and resonant that it's like a black hole, making my transitions sound like a car wreck and making high notes harder to achieve. I''ve been working on bringing my mixed voice down to the lower notes. It's so hard, but I'm seeing great results, with a brighter, louder tone and bigger range. Your video reminds me to use vocal fry to get it done.

I've been trying to learn to sing the past month or so just trial and error and experimentation. Your videos I've found have really helped me put my voice together now that I understand more what it is I'm doing, and how it is all working in cohesion with other techniques, rather than me just blindly doing guess work hoping for a better outcome than I already had. Thanks a ton, and keep up the great videos.

Just rocked out with you ...... I learn each and every time, glad to be part of this....thank you criss...pure gold content.

There are a number of exercises which help teach moving in and out of mixed voice and getting comfortable doing it...but this is the most practical explanation I have seen so far. Good job with describing the dictation of sounds to make it easier to hit the mix voice.

This totally made sense to me, and I'm sure my neighbors enjoyed the sounds coming from my side of the shared wall! Chris is a great teacher.

Your videos....PLEASE don't stop making them. You're SO helpful and SO knowledgeable and the way you go about teachin is so nice

I honestly think youre the most passionate vocal coach in yt ive ever seen. You really care about people learning... That's something I really admire, man, something humans really need if we want to survive: to be passionate with our job and make it usefull for the WHOLE world, with a good dose of generosity. Thank you so much Chris

I'm so happy I discovered this channel in a search. You're doing something I don't think anyone else is doing! This helps so much more than all the anatomy talk you usually get.

This is brilliant. You helped me a lot, Thanks bro keep on with that great job!

You have the right balance of explanation and demonstration. Thank you for this amazing content!

THIS IS THE MOST HELPFUL SO FAR! NOW I REALIZE THAT I HAVE BEEN DOING IT BUT NOT QUITE CORRECTLY. YOUR CRAZY SOUND EXPERIMENTS MADE ME IMAGINE PROPERLY HOW TO DO IT. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I have never made this much progress in half an hour, IN ANYTHING!! I owe you.

SAY HEAVEN!!!!! HOOLY SHHHT SAY HEAVEN RIGHT NOW!!!!!!

Just started tour videos recently and my man your teaching grabs my attention and is establishing something in me that i never knew was there.

Bro THANK you for making this video!! I've been trying to find my mix for years with no success, and this is the first explanation I've seen that actually makes SENSE! You've changed my singing journey forever my friend. So grateful! Keep up the good work!

Wow.. thank you so much.. I’ve been singing for years! And have been trying to sing in my my mix for so long ! I couldn’t get it and I would always crack, I’ve seen so many videos and none really helped me and the way you thought this technique is the same way I approached learning guitar it’s crazy! Thank you!!!

Man, this has been the technique i've been searching for for years. I've been wondering how to bridge the gap between head and chest for so long. You've literally just unlocked so many creative doors for me mate.. Thank you.

Holy cow, what a video. I’ve done elements of this for years, but never quite put it together conceptually, and there in a few minutes, you’ve made me a better singer, six months from now or so :-) . Fabulous work, thank you

Genuinely a fantastic tutorial - I'm hitting highs with nowhere near the amount of discomfort I used to feel, in fact it's downright pleasant. Thank you, Chris.

I accidentally discovered this register in my own voice the other week. Haven’t yet managed to commit it to muscle memory but I’m really excited for the versatility I will achieve in the future! Thanks for putting it into context.

Months struggling to get my mixed voice, 8 minutes into your video and... I simply got it. Now i just have to work on It. Sir, thank you really much. This is pure gold. Also, sorry for my english if i made some mistakes, i'm from Italy

Your teaching technique is fantastic. Almost 30 years of trying to overcome the bridge and I still find your guidance awesome. Subscribed immediately. Thank you.

Best video about mixed voice for sure. The way you explain it is perfect.

So what I learned from this is that I already know how to use my mixed voice for the high notes but need to learn it in my chest register, great vid the examples really help

I am on week 2 of your singing course and can't believe how much more range I have from discovering my mixed voice from these videos and starting to learn proper technique from your course, I am no longer reaching for notes and songs I would strain to sing are now easy. Thank you so much, I'm excited to improve even more by week 12!

Chris, you are a gem!!! So generous, so courageous and really cool!!!! THANK YOU!!!!

Showing these experiments is really useful! Subscribed to the course.

The moment that mixed voice appears is when I know I won't stop singing. Thank you for this enlightenment!

THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED. THANK YOU

I love your channel. been trying to master my voice for the past 3 years now

thank you so much man, ive been singing for 5 years hitting high notes pulling my chest up and i have always wondered how to do that mixed voice cuz im still confused after watching multiple vocal coaches videos about it, this ones the best one i have got and i will practice and experiment my voice from now on! thanks a lot man.

Hello Chris, your video is awesome..in fact, this was the one I was searching for years and I can say finally I got it..I'm an Indian classical vocalist and I use to struggle hitting higher notes..but now I have a key to expand to a new vocal range..Love from India💓

WOAH! Your explanation is amazing... very different from other teachers. Cant wait to apply this exercises :)

You are such an enrichment for this platform!

This is the most useful mixed voice video I've come across. Thanks so much!

I learned how to use the vocal fry, mixed voice and all that stuff thanks to your tutorials. This is freaking amazing, I totally didn't know this feels this simple singing high notes. Literally today I sang a full chorus of some song that was with high notes and did it absolutely without any tension.. Of course I practiced so long before but today my voice finally adapted to it and now i do it automatically. And it didn't hurt my voice at all.. This felt so freaking amazing realizing that I'm here now

Chris ! You Are a real talented teacher thanks a lot . you help me to go higher in my voice without forcing. Greeatings From Argentina

This was the best video I have come across explaining mixed voice, and how to evolve toward finding it.

I've watched so many videos on head and chest voice and never understood where they blend but this has given me great insights.

Man, you're literally the only person on KZfaq who could clearly explain the mixed voice. I've seen so many videos with just chit chats and no specific examples. I think you've helped to find my mixed voice. BIG BOW and THANK YOU for that :)

Chris, thank you for making these videos. I have been purposely developing my voice and knowledge of singing for a few years. Many teachers have put pieces in place for me. What you are saying here fits like a capstone on what I have learned so far. Your teaching style is very approachable and real, and I hope you keep teaching for a long time.

This is the best video I have ever seen on mixed voice. Subscribed. Genius way of explaining how to find it. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

This is the most amazing channel. This advice is like gold

Can't thank you enough big man. You probably realise yourself, how 'in depth' these gems of lessons really are and you've still put them out. I hope you are blessed with recognition and remuneration for your work. It's amazing. Life changing. Thank you again, for your journey that is now helping people like me.

I have watched dozens of videos on “mix” and heard numerous voice teachers and singer friends try to explain it, and none of them could present it in such an easy to understand way AND demonstrate how to find it. I thought it was another singing myth because I’ve found it so elusive. Thanks!

Just came across this video and it is literally the ONLY video I've watched that shows the best example of exploring your mixed voice and finding it! Thank you so so much for this it has helped me an incredible amount!

thank you for helping me find my mixed voice man. Your tutorials are different but super effective.

Dude!!!!! How can I double like this video?!! Thank you for sharing your wisdom :)

i’ve actually been experimenting a lot with my mixed voice lately and i think i’ve finally started to find it and my voice sounds so much better on higher notes than it did when i just pulled up my chest voice

Wow, I’ve been searching for hours and hours and even considered buying a singing course, but, this just made a whole lot of sense. I’ve heard from a lot of other videos which explain it in a way where it doesn’t make as much sense. For instance, how hear voice “resonates” in your head and how you can really feel it but it just never really made sense how one would be able to do that. I mean, it does, but the other explanations I’ve heard just didn’t make as much sense. But, before I go off on a tangent, I thought that this video was just awesome and had good examples and explanations to really clarify the difference between these three different terms. Awesome job and thanks as well!

Yeah hey! I remember you from taking advantage of some of your free guitar lessons! I’ve been practicing my mixed voice lately, so happy to see you have some valuable information on this! It’s extremely exciting!!!

Finally!! Someone exlained in a few minutes, something I've wondered about for years!!! With actual music examples! Great video and great teacher!!! Keep this up man!!!!!! Thank you!

Thank you, it helped me a lot. You earned yourself a new sub.

I've been watching tutorials for a long time on KZfaq and I'm so happy that I stumbled across yours. Thanks man 🤘

I FINALLY GOT IT. After like three months of trying different techniques and failing, I figured out the throat position and could suddenly hit high notes like never before. This video among others from various places helped me out so much. Thank you, Chris. This helped me with a huge milestone in my journey of learning how to sing. Thank you thank you thank you.
