Mix voice

Hi,

i am working on developing mix voice. How can I be sure that I am not in head voice when I reach for the higher notes in the exercises? 

thanks!

Great question, Melanie! I encourage you to use slides from low to high, since you'll hear an audible "crack" or "flip" if you're going from chest voice straight to head voice, but it'll be a smooth and gradual transition through your mix. It's also helpful to memorize the general sound and sensations associated with chest voice and head voice. If you're in a "mode" that feels like something between the two but not purely speaking/chest voice or falsetto/head voice, that's a good sign you're using a mix. Hope that helps! 

Hi Camille,

Thanks!  I'm grateful for your reply!
