    I don’t think mix is confusing at all. Mix is the thing that happens when it’s not a flipped falsetto, nor is it a pulled chest voice. It’s what takes place when there’s a free, strong and resonant full sound above the bridge/passagio. You’re literally “mixing” the firm fold adduction found in chest voice with the CT stretch (and a “resting” larynx) to create a connected head voice (ie. mix). Coming from the bel canto camp, mix is just about the only thing we teach (of course in lessons I throw in other things too, but on a technical level this is it for me).

    For most bel canto teachers I’d say (coming from Tosi/Garcia/Caesari/Reid camps) mix isn’t a “sound”, it’s an equilibrium to ideally be in most of the time. It’s the voice’s balanced home base. Not too chesty, not too falsetto-y, not too flippy. Just right.

    Wailing/calling out is what I’ve been doing a lot of, but even a bit of twang to help with volume.

    It’s what Goldilocks would have wanted.
