I know a lot of singing teachers so I know what I'm talking about when I say: You are the best teacher ever!

[bellah]

I've said this before but I will gladly say it again. You have helped me so much in working out my mixed. I come from a classically trained background but sing contemporary and I can't stress the amount of teachers that I've gone through that just can't explain this like this. thank you <3 <3 <3

What makes this content so valuable, is your clear rational explanations combined with lots of examples of how to do it and how to not do it.

Falsetto with vocal fry just unlocked my Mix super fast. BIG THANKS GREGORY!!!

It tears my heart of my chest, how hard this is for me. I've been trying for months, and I still can't do it. Any time I try to "hold back" I just end up tensing my throat. No matter what i do, I cant get the break to go away. Singing is so important to me and it breaks my heart to be so incapable of improving.

I know it's been said a million times but thank you so much for putting out these videos!! I have been told time and time again by vocal teachers to take the harshness out of my voice and never under any circumstances use vocal fry as it will damage my vocal cords. After watching this video, I decided to finally give in and experiment with nasally harsh sounds, controlled belting and vocal fry. Now my mixed voice has almost completely taken over my falsetto range in a few months! Thank you for what you do!

Always been a natural singer, so I never looked into how to be any better. I would just try and pull chest to hit the high notes. Thanks to your videos, I've found there are better ways to sing. Its not always easy for me to find that mixed voice path but your videos help! Thanks!

This is going to be a long comment but i have to give a long thanks for how much you've helped me. I'm a baritone and i've been stuck for over the past year developing my mixed voice, i've watched various videos from so many different channels and struggled a lot to find even a bit of mix, i was thinking it almost impossible and was about to just stick to a lower range of singing. There were so many moments where my confidence was completely destroyed.

Then I discovered this video 2 weeks ago, this along with your other videos have helped me immensely in finally finding a mix, of course i'm still in the beginning stages so my voice isn't perfect, but i've made more progress in the past 2 weeks than i have the entire year and i'll always be grateful for you taking the effort in creating these videos.

For others reading that are in a similar predicament to mine, don't give up, be patient, with enough practice you'll find your mix too.

This “should” be the number one channel for singing on YouTube :)

[jajapanda]

I've been starting to practice what you are teaching us on your videos but my parents laugh at me when I try it. They said I look crazy LOL. But you teach great. Thank you for your free singing course.

[jean-luceldenwood]

Fantastic explanation. No college voice professor in about 5 years was able to break down as well as you have in 30 mins.

[lordhonksworth]

The exercise with the glottal pauses was my mixed voice breakthrough - thanks!

Dude, showing for every examples what not to do is amazing.. I discovered I was doing always what we should not do.. And having the right way following so that I can really feel the difference and give a right correction to myself is pure GOLD. Usually when we are alone we can't know if we are right. With all thoses wrong ways we can check and correct.. You are very very great. Very precise on every aspects. This is from far your best and most effective tutorial. Everything is crystal clear. Amen
PS. This contained sound what do you think it modify in the vocal track which brings right sound?
