How To Find Your Mix Voice

Understanding Mixed Voice: How to Eliminate Vocal Breaks

The Misconception About Mixed Voice

Many singers think of mixed voice as a sudden switch—as if they’re singing in chest voice, hitting a wall, and then needing to transition into something completely different. This mindset creates a major problem: they anticipate a vocal break, and that very expectation makes their voice crack.

But mixed voice isn’t about leaving chest voice. Instead, it’s about growing it, so it doesn’t hit a wall, crack, or break—it just keeps going.

Developing a Stronger Mixed Voice

So how do you extend your chest voice higher without straining? The key is learning to belt or yell in a controlled way without hurting your voice.

A simple way to practice this is by calling out loudly—almost like shouting—but doing it with proper breath support and without unnecessary tension. Try something like:

"Yeah! Look, I'm coming!"

It’s loud, powerful, and free—but it doesn’t strain. That’s the foundation of a strong mixed voice.
