Re: Bumping into the top of my range

That's about where I am now, just trying to get better at the notes I can sing by learning how to blend my vocal registries.
Exactly! Well, good luck to you!

I think you have to be in the MIX to smooth out or blend the change in registers.
You sure? I'm not that sure, myself. For example, in this file of
me butchering Kansas' Dust in the wind in a ridiculously high key just for your listening enjoyment, I sing mostly in head, with an occasional foray into chest. 'The wind' in the chorus is chest, the rest is what I'd call 'head.' Feels pretty 'head' to me, and not at all chesty. So you're saying that's (probably very light) mix? Or head progressing rather smoothly into chest, without passing MIX and without collecting $200?
(Just as a comparison, listen to
the same piece of music recorded before vocal warmup. What a difference 15 minutes make!

That's another reason I don't think the first clip is mix, 'cause I feel I'm doing the same thing in both clips and the no-warmup one is obviously a really breathy head/falsetto.)
