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.

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

Your video is set to private, I think you want unlisted instead
