I don't know what to say. Umm I recorded this thing (its like 5.5 minutes) and I am wondering about chord closure I guess. Anything anyone wants to tell me is fine by me I have gotten so much discouragement over the years and pushed through it that I am totally not bothered by anyones criticism. So if you feel like you might be mean don't worry about it. Just be honest and let me know what you think and feel. and I just wanted to say hello to beyond tenor he's a cool guy. What's happenin' brotha

Hey, I think you are overestimating the quality and strength of your high mix--I did that, too, until I talked to Jesse. What you are doing in the upper ranges is only a slightly edgy head voice, not really a mix. If it is a mix, its still extremely light. If you can't get the E4-G range to feel right, then you probably aren't going to have a strong upper mix right either. You never feel a dramatic shift in your voice/throat when you are working with bridge...If you are, then you are crossing into head not chest. Have you considered a lesson with Jesse?

Yes I have talked with him but right now money is an issue so when I can I will get a lesson from him. So in my upper registers it should sound light still? Or are you saying that I have a light mix in my upper registers. I can do a mix voice through my entire range but I can only get the resonance to sound good and the volume to be loud enough at A4 and up. What you are telling me is that I am not doing a mix voice but really just an edgy head voice?

I can typically connect from top to bottom without feeling any change (some days it's difficult) especially when I incorporate the vocal cry. I can easily connect. But, my volume is the problem. How should I add volume? Do I just lean into the mix on every pitch?

I'll leave this for Jesse and Ben to answer, i'm not really qualified.

I'm just saying that your "mix" in the higher ranges is neither powerful or loud or chesty. It's a solid head voice, but probably not a mix. It doesn't sound like you are putting alot of pressure in your sound. I've been learning to add pressure (the bottom) into the second bridge lately, and I'm telling you...it sure feels more like chest than head voice...

I hope I don't sound like i'm being harsh or a know it all. It's just that I used to think that I had a great second bridge and awful first bridge. But I really had neither a good second or first bridge. It's really not possible to get a balanced second bridge without a good first one...

Hey, man. I listened to the clip you sent me and put this one on my phone. I'll reply ASAP. We need to work out the time difference though.

your mix is mostly head dominated you need deeper compression especially up to the A4. You really haven't felt even close to where the mix should be based on the sounds you've made. You need to join sso or get some lessons with me man. you need compression, airflow and start to balance those out with a normla larynx postion. alot of what you did had high larynx.

Yeah I was discovering earlier today that even though I can go from the bottom of my voice to the top without flipping when I do it quiet, I am finding that I am slightly breathy from C4-A4. I believe that that's what you mean by head dominated mix Jesse is that correct? Now, I was doing a vocal fry earlier today and I found that if I do that to hit all the pitches in my vocal range I can get what really feels like proper chord closure. It's like I am doing my mix, but no breathy at all. I squeak until I find the note and then I can let the squeak go and it feels...*different in my throat. It feels like my chords are smaller. I dunno if thats right but there is no breathiness and it has a bit of pressure but no strain. What do yall think of that?
