Re: A Bass Needing Some Range Advice

is getting a chesty mixed voice (or coordinated chest) by finding the right balance of just letting just the "right" amount of chest voice go as you ascend into the upper ranges? so far, i've got the impression that if you let too little go, you'll strain and if you let too much go, it will be a heady mix. so, by doing short scales of solid ahs, am I supposed to find the right balance?

btw, how solid do you want me to sing the low chest notes as I do the ah scales... I feel like if I use a little bit "let go" chest voice, I can go higher.. but.. should I produce a solid low chest and try to bring it up even though I crack? if I crack because the chest voice note is too "solid," should I just keep trying anyway step by step?

does "the edgy sound" help coordinate chest voice into the upper ranges as well?
