What is Mix Voice / Mixed Voice?

You’ve likely encountered various interpretations of what Mix voice is, sometimes causing more confusion than clarity. To set the record straight, Mix voice is a technique—not a distinct vocal register—that facilitates a smooth blend between your chest and head voice. It’s commonly referred to as mixed voice or sometimes middle voice, but regardless of the terminology, the principle remains the same.

The technique involves using specific vocal exercises and adjustments to your singing posture to maintain consistent vocal quality across your range. Far from being a ‘shortcut’ or ‘cheat,’ mastering the mix voice is a legitimate method embraced by vocal coaches and professional singers alike.

Now that we’ve clarified what mix voice is, let’s explore why this technique deserves a spot in your vocal training regimen.

Understanding mixed voice from a scientific angle involves diving into the intricacies of the vocal folds and their behaviour during singing. The vocal folds are essentially two bands of muscle tissue that come together and vibrate to produce sound.

从科学的角度理解混声，包括深入研究声带的复杂性，了解声带在唱歌时的动作。声带本质上是两条肌肉组织带，它们聚集在一起振动发出声音。

Chest Voice (M1)

In chest voice, or M1, the vocal folds are thicker and shorter, allowing for more mass to vibrate. This results in lower frequencies and a richer, fuller sound. The airflow from the lungs pushes against the vocal folds, causing them to separate and then come back together, producing a cycle of vibrations that create sound waves.

在胸声或M1中，声带更厚更短，能够产生更多的振动。这就导致了更低的声音频率和更丰富、更饱满的声音。来自肺部的气流推动声带，使它们分开，然后再结合在一起，产生振动的循环，以产生声波。

Head Voice (M2)

In head voice, or M2, the vocal folds stretch and become thinner. This increases the tension and decreases the mass that vibrates, leading to higher frequencies and a lighter sound. The vocal folds still vibrate but cover less surface area, making it easier to reach higher pitches.

在头声或M2中，声带拉长变薄。这就增加了声带的拉力，减少了振动的幅度，导致了更高的声音频率和更轻的声音。声带仍然会振动，但覆盖的表面积减少了，这使得它更容易触达更高的音高。

In mix voice, the vocal folds undergo a combination of the behaviours seen in both chest and head voice. They adjust their thickness and length to allow for a smoother transition between the two. This balanced state enables the singer to tap into a broader range of pitches without the abrupt vocal breaks commonly experienced when shifting from chest to head voice.

Mix Voice Transition

在混声中，声带经历了胸声和头声的组合行为。声带调整厚度和长度，使得胸声和头声两者之间可以平滑过渡。这种平衡的状态使歌手能够拥有更广泛的音域，而不会出现从胸声到头声的突然断层。

The science behind Mix voice underscores its importance not just as a technique for aesthetic improvement but also as a method for healthy vocal function. By understanding the mechanics of your vocal folds, you can employ the Mix voice technique more effectively, ensuring a balanced, strain-free performance.

混声的背后十分科学，这使得它的重要性体现在很多方面。其不仅作为一种改善审美的歌唱技术，也是一种让你拥有健康发声功能的方法。通过了解声带的机制，你可以更有效地使用混声技术，确保声音平衡、无紧张。

Why Use Mix Voice?

Now that we’ve unpacked the anatomy of the chest (M1) and head voice (M2) it’s time to delve into the compelling reasons to master the mix voice technique.

现在我们已经了解了胸声（M1）和头声（M2）的解剖结构，是时候深入研究一下为什么一定要掌握混声技术了。

Seamless Transitions/无缝过渡

Firstly, mix voice eliminates the jarring breaks that can occur when transitioning between your chest and head voice. These abrupt shifts not only disrupt your performance but can also strain your vocal cords over time. By using mix voice, you’ll achieve a smoother, more fluid vocal line, enhancing both your technique and your audience’s listening experience.

首先，混声消除了在胸声和头声之间转换时可能出现的断层。随着时间的推移，这些断层不仅会扰乱你的表演，还会使你的声带紧张。通过使用混声，你会获得一个更流畅的声音线，提高你的技巧和听众的聆听体验。

Expanded Vocal Range/扩大的音域范围

Secondly, mastering mix voice expands your vocal range. It allows you to tap into notes that may have previously seemed unreachable, providing a balanced tone across low, mid, and high registers. This added versatility opens up new possibilities in song choice and stylistic expression, elevating your status from a good singer to a great one.

其次，掌握混声可以扩展你的音域。它可以让你达到以前似乎无法到达的音高，在低、中、高音区提供平衡的声音。这种附加的声音多面性增加了歌曲选择和风格表达的新可能性，让你从一个好歌手进阶到一个厉害的歌手。

Emotional Depth and Nuance/情感深度和细节

Finally, the mix voice brings a level of emotional depth and nuance to your performances. The ability to seamlessly blend vocal registers lets you convey feelings more effectively, be it the raw intensity of a rock ballad or the delicate emotion of an acoustic set.

最后，混声为你的表演带来了情感深度和细节上的差别。无缝融合声区的能力可以让你更有效地传达情感，无论是摇滚民谣的浓烈情感，还是不加修饰的演唱所传递的细腻情感。

Common Challenges in Vocal Transitions

Before you can fully embrace the benefits of mix voice, it’s important to acknowledge the hurdles you may encounter when transitioning between chest (M1) and head voice (M2). Many singers experience a noticeable “break” or “crack” when they move from one register to the other, often making it a point of insecurity or frustration.

在你能完全接受混声的好处之前，重要的是要意识到在胸声（M1）和头声（M2）之间转换时可能遇到的障碍。许多歌手在从一个音区转到另一个音区时都会经历明显的“中断”或“破裂”，这通常会让人感到不安或沮丧。

Moreover, these abrupt transitions can lead to vocal strain, as you may unconsciously push your voice to smooth out the shift. This can lead to long-term damage if not addressed, making the mastery of mix voice not just an artistic choice but a health-conscious one as well.

此外，这些突然的转换会导致声音紧张，因为你可能会无意识地推动你的声音来实现平滑转换。如果不加以解决，这可能会导致长期的声音损害。因此掌握混声不仅是一种艺术选择，也是一种健康意识的选择。

Understanding these challenges is the first step in overcoming them, and that’s where the mix voice technique comes into play. It offers a practical solution for achieving smoother, more controlled vocal transitions, effectively eliminating the issues that can hinder your performance.

了解这些挑战是克服它们的第一步，这就是混声技术发挥作用的地方。混声提供了一个实用的解决方案，可以实现更流畅、更可控的声音过渡，有效地消除了可能阻碍你的表演的问题。

Techniques for Mastering Mix Voice

Having laid the groundwork on the what and why of mix voice, let’s delve into the how. Mastering this technique involves a combination of vocal exercises, posture adjustments, and mindful practice.

在了解了混声是什么以及为什么要练习混声之后，让我们深入研究如何掌握混声。掌握这个技巧需要结合发声练习、姿势调整和觉知练习。

Vocal Exercises发声练习

01 The “Sirening” Exercise

Slide your voice from the lowest note in your range to the highest, and then back down. Aim for a smooth, uninterrupted sound as you traverse your vocal range.

练习一：把你的声音从你的音域中最低的音滑到最高的音，然后再滑下来。当你穿过整个音域的时候，你的目标是发出平稳、不间断的声音。

02 The “Lip Trill” Exercise

Blow air through your closed lips to produce a trilling sound, much like a lip-based raspberry. As you maintain this trill, sing up and down your vocal scales or simple melodies, focusing on even tone and smooth transitions between notes.

练习二：向闭合的嘴唇吹气，发出唇颤音，就像用嘴唇形成一个基础的震动。当你保持这个唇颤音时，在上下音区中唱音阶或简单的旋律，要注意音调的均匀和音符之间的平稳过渡。

03 The “Gug” Technique

To practice the “Gug” technique, start on a comfortable low note and sing the word “gug” as you move through a major arpeggio pattern. This exercise not only helps keep the larynx low but also assists in smoothing the transition between your chest (M1) and head voice (M2).

练习三：使用“Gug”来练习，要从一个舒适的低音开始，用“Gug”唱一组大调的琶音。这个练习不仅有助于保持喉位低稳，还有助于平滑胸声（M1）和头声（M2）之间的过渡。

04 The “Messa di Voce” Exercise

Start by singing a single note softly, then gradually increase the volume until you reach your loudest comfortable level. Once there, diminish the volume back down to a soft level. This exercise not only trains dynamic control but also helps you maintain a consistent tone throughout your vocal range, making it particularly useful for mastering mix voice.

练习四：渐强渐弱的练习。先轻轻地唱一个音符，然后逐渐增加音量，直到达到你最响亮且舒服的音量。然后，再降低音量到柔和的水平。这个练习不仅可以训练动态控制，还可以帮助你在整个音域中保持一致的音调，这对掌握混声特别有用。

Posture Adjustments/演唱姿势调整

Believe it or not, your posture plays a significant role in how well you can execute mix voice. Standing straight, with your feet hip-width apart, not only helps with breath control but also allows your vocal cords to align properly, making it easier to transition between registers.

不管你相不相信，你的姿势对你能够很好地演唱混声起着重要作用。站直，双脚分开与臀部同宽，这不仅有助于控制呼吸，还能让你的声带两边对齐，让你更容易在音区之间转换。

Mindful Practice/觉知练习

Last but not least, mindful practice is key. This means paying close attention to how your voice feels as you transition from one register to another. If you notice any strain or discomfort, it’s a sign you need to adjust your technique.

最后，但并非最不重要的是，觉知练习非常关键。这意味着，当你从一个音区过渡到另一个音区时，要密切注意你的声音感受。如果你觉察到任何紧张或不适，这就表明你需要调整发声技巧了。

Mastering mix voice is an ongoing process that requires consistent practice and perhaps even guidance from a vocal coach. But the payoff is immense: a more versatile, resonant, and captivating voice.

掌握混声是一个持续的过程，需要不断的练习，需要好的声乐教练的指导。 但回报是巨大的：一个更有质感和健康的声音。
