Here's a good example of light mix by another singer in a song BUT notice the lightest/airest parts where it sounds different (typically around the highest notes and ends of phrases), he's leaving his chest connection for pure falsetto there. Where it is less airy and sounds more like a natural voice (not girly and disconnected) THAT is a textbook light mix.

Is it a blend of pharyngeal resonance with head voice or is there still some chest involved? And maybe you could give me a few examples of singers singing in "light mix"?

It gets especially difficult when SLS teachers and people speak about "light mix", "high mix", "head mix", "full mix", "hard mix" etc. etc. ...

Edit:

I just did an experiment, I sang an A4 in head voice and then I just tried to sing the same note with in the same spot with the same heady tone again but with more (I don't know how to call it) grip and it sounded chestier but was lighter and more effortless than when hitting that note in an octave scale on "ah" where I take full chest higher with vowel modifications. Is that "discovery" what is called light mix?
