I'll take you through the cat exercise which is in your singing voice, that said. Well, we're talking about bright vowels. Obviously, that's really bright, and that's mixed voice if I do. Although, it's mixing right now, as I go up, it's going to want to go into head. I'm not in mixed voice anymore. One thing you do want to be careful of with mixed voice is pushing up your chest voice too hard. You get that. That's when you get that break. So if you shift into a lighter setting sooner, you`ll segue, like driving a manual car. You'll segue into a lighter setting in mixed voice. You can really hear me changing it now, but I can feel it in my throat more than you can hear it. So be mindful when you record yourself. You may feel a lot more than we can hear. That's a good tip. Another way to practice this is in the area around your passaggio to hold a note and start softly. While you're holding the note, crescendo to a loud sound. So I just stayed in mixed voice. We can also do this going into chest, but for now, I`ll stick in head voice into mix. You can hear how much louder it gets. The mix is just some degree in the middle. Another way that you can do it is, for instance, for guys if you're in falsetto, and we'll call your mixed voice head voice. It will overlap those terms. I'll sing in the same note as you. Imagine lecture will start on a B, this is B4. That's usually what happens for guys. Falsetto gets really thinned out and then you pop into full voice around C4 or depending on your range. Instead, we're going to blend into it. I'm now in mixed voice. It's a little harder for you guys because I don't have a passaggio there. For the ladies, going up out of chest voice into mixed voice is where it's really, really tricky. So if I stay in the same pitches, then I`m going to be in chest. What's important is where you start to release the pressure of chest voice. So I never release the pressure. You can hear move in there. Let me do it a little smoothly. Now, I could feel it. I don't know if you could hear it. So again, when you're in that heavy setting of your chest voice, whether you're a guy or a girl, when you're pushing that up to the top of your range where you can physically and atomically sing those notes and then you switch, it's going to really create a break or a pop. So to get into that mix voice, you want to graduate it and get there thinner. Again, use a volumes swell, a crescendo or a day crescendo. Your mixed voice will be somewhere in the middle. So for me, I'll go in and out of chest voice on this G, which is a fairly high. That's mix right there. I just went into chest. I'm sure you can hear it. So I'll show you chest, mix, head. You can hear it's like a seesaw, it`s not that specific. If I sing higher, no too much chest voice at all. So its a B. That's completely mixed voice. Again, it'll depend on you. But the way you want to practice this is zooming in really closely into a note, being sure first that you're really warmed up because this is fairly vigorous. Being sure that you have adequate breath support. Again, that you're well seated. If you're sitting or standing, that you have your legs under you. Then once you experiment on individual notes with volume swells or in through a passaggio area, then you can sing a passage, for instance. That's all mixed voice. Just medium loud is another way to think of it.
