Special thanks to @davebeeglemusic8223 for the incredible backing track and great project to be a part of!

Shinedown's Brent Smith, Chris Cornell and lots of the 80s guys like Axl Rose and Ronnie James Dio have a wonderfully saturated mixed voice. In this video, I help you take a simple three-step process and ADD, over the top... the right kind of grit! Once you internalize this process, you won't feel any discomfort or fatigue. You'll feel free and like your voice is full of aggressive possibilities across your whole range!

I found my technique by yelling “I’m ready!” like SpongeBob…

BROOOO this is insane the nasal to buzzer sound is what unlocked it for me!

[DrSmoothVibes]

You, Mr Liepe, have literally done wonders in my life. Even at a place of real confidence in my voice at this point, I still find myself always coming back, and learning something new that connects more dots for me as a singer. 🙏🏻

Anything that related to Shinedown and Brent Smith get a +1 from me!

[jadosfrombarbados]

Omg the buzzer noise!!! It unlocked something for me, this technique change was almost immediate for me!

Thank you so much, your content is s-tier.

I like to imagine my singing heroes doing stuff like this when they were learning.

This high key doubles as character voice acting tips, great stuff!

How is it possible that you release a video covering the topic that I hardly need in the exact moment that I need it? Amazing video! Thanks a lot.

[grellpowa]

thank you ! videos about grit that i have seen are always for head or chest voice.

Hey Chris, remember that i put a comment in one of your videos saying that i could only use my mixed voice with my voice muffled? Well, i got bad news and good news. The bad news is that i unfortunately haven't checked out your vocal course yet. The good news is that despite that, i managed to unlock decent part of my mixed voice. My top note went from G#4 to C5, sometimes even C#5. The issue was more psychological than technical. I did actually learn good part of how support feels in order to get it.

You are one of two people, who I credit as my vocal coaches who I haven’t actually met. Thanks so much for playing a part in me becoming a musician. It has given me some of the best years of my life, wonderful listeners, and is how I met my wife 🤍

Brother, thank you so much for all the knowledge

[MarcioDelBianco]

I love watching Chris's lessons and people staring at me like "WTF are you watching?"

[clarat]

As always, this is spot on. Thanks Chris, I am working on my mixed voice right now and this comes in really handy. Instant game changer! ❤

[makehaste]

Great as always Chris! Please check out Lucas Woodland from Holding Absence, he has amazing control over adding different intensities of grit over his voice especially his high chest into mix!
