The exercises helped you? Ima try them. My range when i first started at 13 was G2-F4 but now im 14 and its at Eb2-A4 but the way i sing A4 is wierd. I kinda have to slide up quickly in order to yell it, and it comes out pretty easily and smoothly sometimes. But thats not mix.. And im trying to creat my mix, i should start here

Are u a whamen?

Belt in A5? That's just crazy good

Something makes me think you’re a little iffy on octaves...

No I've actually heard him belt an A5 in full voice

Ink King well A4 is typical for a tenor in chest voice. And A5 is understandable for someone to belt in head voice but just keep in mind the difference. Cause there’s no way anyone is hitting an A in chest even women usually do it mix or head voice. If so then he’s the last castrato lmao

😂😂

@@StudioWestLessons completely understand 😭😭😭

Those who dont know what it is,must have gotten there faster.To me,who still struggles,this explanation was needed ..And you explained it so that I can actually understand,every other video out there confused me..so thank you❤

@@StudioWestLessons which btw for me is right between F4# and G4 (where usually I crack))

@@StudioWestLessons now it is up to a G5

Nice video btw. Fantastic voice too

Greg Bystritski Thanks so much! Your videos are really informative and I love that you respond to the comments

Marnell is a lovely person and an even better teacher.

@@StudioWestLessons yeah, actually I was thinking that if I ever were to give voice lessons, it would be pedagogically useful to talk about a mixed voice, in order to get the student to easily navigate the passaggi. Also, if you just said there is M1 and M2, students might think that above a certain note they can only sing in a disconnected falsetto (as opposed to pulling up) which is less than ideal. So teaching mixed voice would probably make more sense to them. Then one day I'd turn around and softly say, "you've been lied to all this time". XD

@@StudioWestLessons well that sounds like a very practical approach. I certainly agree that if something works and is more simple than a potentially more accurate description of the state of affairs, then go with the former ;)

@@StudioWestLessons Lol I don't think it's BS to tell someone he is a baritone! Some people are in fact baritones. The important thing is to work with your voice type to achieve the best results you can. Baritones and even basses can sing a C5, but they won't sing it like a tenor does. For me, it's more damaging to tell someone "you can be a tenor if you want to". Well, no you can't! And a tenor can't be a baritone either. A baritone can sing tenor repertoire and vice versa, but it will always be with more difficulty than for their counterpart. Mix voice is useful as a teaching device, whether or not the mode "M1.5" really exists, but misclassifying someone's voice type is at best pointless and at worst dangerous.

@@StudioWestLessons well I was classified as a tenor by my first voice teacher and it just led me to strain and sing with a high larynx. When I started taking lessons with a new teacher and he recognised that I was a high baritone, suddenly singing became a lot more pleasurable because I was singing in an appropriate tessitura. I think it's unfortunate that so many songs are written for high male voices, because most males are baritones! Haha

@@StudioWestLessons the thing is, I understand all the singing concepts that you have gone over in your videos and have experimented like fuck over the years. The problem is not my range. I can hit notes in the upper staffe just fine and as regards pop, I can get away with singing higher than I normally would. But there's no way I can sing operatic tenor arias. Just try singing una furtiva lagrima in the original key and you'll know what I mean
