exactly. anatomically, there's nothing such as a "mixed voice". it's just how people call a certain kind of sound, that can either produced by your chest voice (M1) or your head voice (M2)

How does Steven Tyler manage to sound airy while hitting impossibly high notes?
@philmoufarrege2 күн бұрын
check out this video you'll see the sound is kind of airy and not super clear, and then the clear sound is developed THROUGH that: kzfaq.infoRfB-JJu4hUI here's the longer full vid: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bb5ddqmFzJ2qZ3U.html&lc=UgwyRXT6C7j-twfrYhJ4AaABAg so it's a progression of development. so with steven tyler he's kinda in that in-between stage where he can sing really well and high with freedom but it's not developed to the point where it's really clear. Michael Bolton and michael mcdonald are both in a similar state too. great singers.

@@philmoufarrege yeah, it looks like you caught my point. This singing tecnique is rarely used and even more rare is to find a decent lesson about it. In rock singing it is common to power-belt throuh high notes, often with distortion-like over-compression. But this, on the other hand, is someting completely different technically. It may sound the same for untrained listener, but if you struggling learning how to sing high without a strain, you would eventually feel the difference. I think this type of singing should draw much more attention, than it does atm.

2:43-2:53 To practice this kind of thing, including practice of hitting high notes of a song, I usually do it when riding on a motorcycle in a relatively quiet traffic, so I don't have to worry it would disturb my neighbours. 😀

When I sang "Just The Way You Are" by Bruno Mars, I tried to use head voice in the lyrics part "The way you are... the way you are" where Bruno uses falsetto. The result didn't sound good. Next time I will try to develop my chest voice to get into the mixed voice in the way you explained and demonstrated here, so I can execute that part better.
@lexsoft39698 күн бұрын
As a baritone, I thought, I could only go up to G4 with chest voice, like in the song "Release Me" by Engelbert Humperdinck. Then I tried to sing "Delilah" by Tom Jones in which the highest note is A4 that occurs at the end part of the song. I was surprised that I managed to hit that A4 note. I thought it was a breakthrough for me. I was glad that I tried to sing other songs with higher notes. I found that in some songs I could hit B4 quite comfortably, but still really struggled at C5, although I managed to hit the note in songs like "We Are The Champions" by Queen with full effort.

The other problem is when the highest note has to be sung (quite) softly, not by screaming, like in the songs by Chicago : 1. Song For You 2. If You Leave Me Now 3. You Are The Inspiration 4. Hard To Say I'm Sorry I am impressed with Peter Cetera's voice in those songs. I have tried to sing those songs, but cannot execute the highest note (C5) smoothly like him.

If the high note part doesn't constantly occur on a song, I can execute with chest voice, even if it reaches C5. But if that part occur quite repeatedly and in quick rythm, I will struggle and tend to give up, like in the songs : 1. Man In The Mirror by Michael Jackson. The chorus in the overtune is constantly high (the highest reaches C5). 2. Over You by Chris Daughtry. The chorus is constantly high in quick rythm, although still around A#4. I will get exhausted when singing the chorus of this song and cannot continue.

yeah this is a common problem and something I used to struggle with for years! this all comes down to larynx stability, compression and volume control. check out the way I approach this michael mcdonald song, lots of hanging up in the high range and lots of c5's kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qZqogLZnp8vHXZ8.html&lc=UgxVvEdPUAec8kWf87x4AaABAg

Any Michael Mcdonald fans here? Love this slightly obscure tune. Jeff Porcaro on drums, some fat 80's E-piano chimes, ripping saxophone and some high ranged power vox. first note starts at A4 and quite a fair bit of high C's in here that have to be done with some chesty fullness to them. After about 2 and a half years without any gear or a good environment to sing freely in I'm finally back into recording some tunes!

I don't understand any of this. You keep saying there is no mix voice, only chest voice, etc. Then you talk about this "other chest voice" that you "break into and out of". This is very confusing. Why call everything "just chest voice" if these are completely different registers you break into and out of? It's like calling all animals a "pig". What is this "other chest voice"? What is the difference between that and falsetto? How you get there? Etc.

@@philmoufarrege I'm asking for sure! I like your content but the whole "it's all just chest voice" thing seems to make things really hard to follow, in a literal/practical sense. Like, in this video you talk about "the other chest voice". Ok... So I wanted to check if you had other videos about "the other chest voice" but since all of your videos are about "chest voice", that would be impossible to find. Btw, I understand that with this you mean something like "M1", and this is good advice in general. But maybe the reason people classify things and give them all the silly names is so that you can at least "index" the different approaches to singing. Because just referring to things as "the chest voice" and "these n approaches to refined chest voice" and "this other kind of chest voice", etc, makes it so you can't know what is happening. One thing is that, when people are recording with microphones, on our side we have no clue what is the actual volume the person is singing in the video. So in this particular video here, I listened a few times and I have nooo clue what the guy is doing or trying to do. Also it seems to me from my own practice that pharyngeal voice and actual mixing of M1 and M2, together with messa di voce exercices (which are literally impossible above the passaggio if you can't mix actual M1 and M2) are huge secrets to good singing. You seem to go with a different approach, so it is pretty surprising and a kind of wtf moment to see you doing this kind of "yodelling" between "two kinds of chest voice", it threw me off balance on my understanding of things a little bit. Of course I do want to hear from you and I don't mean any of this as a criticism but only to expose the confusion!

@musikkamagga3770Ай бұрын
@@philmoufarrege My question is what is the "other chest voice". If we don't want to give it a name, that's fine, but what is it physiologically, what is happening at the vocal chord level or vocal tract level? Are the pharynx muscles involved, do we need quack/twang, do we open or close the soft palate, etc? I have discovered something that seems to be extremely similar to what you are describing here, which is an incredibly powerful and flexible voice the likes of which I never experimented before, throughout the entire range, both of pitch and of volume. It initially suffers from the same "dullness" you describe on the video, but it can be brightened by any sort of resonance or twang. The thing is, this new voice I found can absolutely be easily lowered smoothly into falsetto, or raised in volume into fully belted chest voice, anywhere in the range. I discovered it by using similar muscles to those I have been developing for "pharyngeal voice", but finding out I didn't need the pharyngeal twang to activate those muscles around the larynx, and that they worked with any combination of resonances and twang. So physiologically that would seem to be best described as a "true mix", i.e., a mix between M1 and M2 modes, in the literal sense: you are able to continuously go from one into the other throughout the range (messa di voce). That goes against your idea that it is "just chest voice", or that it "breaks", hence my confusion. So, again, my questions are right in the beginning ("what is the other chest voice?", etc), and the rest of what I'm writing is optional additional context.
