Description:
Welcome to Mixed Voice 101! Mixed voice, also called mixed registration or “your mix” is the holy grail for most singers. It’s also a topic fraught with confusion, and people have different definitions for mix.
In this tutorial, Camille will walk you through a warmup, and three sections to help you form your own mixed voice. In part 1, we’ll cover the foundation and prerequisites for mixing: what you need to already be doing in order to develop your mix. In part 2, we’ll assess what your natural tendencies are and assign different mix-building warmups based on those tendencies. In part 3, we’ll cover mixing with vowels, which will help you sing songs with greater ease and balance.
Stay tuned for the warmup!
