Hello guys,
I have been practising a lot the "SLS mix exercice" lately and i must say it has helped me tremendously singing with the same intensity but with much less effort!
It has challenged a lot the way i concieve what mixed voice and belting is, to a point where i can do a lot of different things even in the high range, without being exactly sure about how it should be called.
The SLS mix exercice feels basically like being in a belting configuration (larynx a bit higher, opened wovels, wide embouchure), but trying to sing with the minimum effort. The result challenges a bit my definition of "light" and "heavy" because it feels and sounds like belting, but at the same time you do not feel like carrying a lot of weigth and effort, but rather leaning a lot in head resonance.
Here is a practise snapshot of me singing in this kind of mix :

I am practising "So far away" by Avanged Sevenfold, focussing on the difficult lines.
It sounds very masky, but I don't really kick in a lot of support if i compare to the stuff i usually sing. So, is what i am doing here called light mix, heavy mix, belting? Any guess?

Which SLS mix exercise? They sell about 200 varieties of animal noises last time I checked
lol jk Phil's had me do it too. But a bit differently in the end goal of it which is interesting. Really goes to show the how is somewhat separate from what exercise it actually is

It's just a staccato exercise. It helps you get the desired sound with the minimum amount of effort needed. Most guys will use such a small volume they end up just going into falsetto with it. so the HOW is very important - we want connection as you already know. When I get you to do it you can feel the belly pulsing like a laugh, that is your support kicking in. It's very reasonable amount of effort.
It won't necessarily put you in a wide emboucher, that is jsut your choice of colouring. You can keep a darker sound if you wish.
