I have a couple questions on top of this. Why is that during church I sing in
chest and then when I try to get into a mixed voice it just won't happen. I have
to get relaxed again and not sing before I can get into my mix. Also, can
someone tell me what are the right sensations once you are in mix. To me it
sounds as if I am a not singing in my full chest voice and at the same time it
still sounds kind of hollowish (sp?). I can feel my resonation in my chest area
until a Bb above middle C. I am a bass-baritone so I'm thinking it must be mix?
I just need to know what are the sensations that come along with singing
CORRECTLY in the mix!
thanks in advance

I actually do sing my low notes in chest. It's just that after doing so in
church for 45 minutes it's hard for me to find the mixed voice. One of the
benefits (at least for me) of airing my problems like this, is that the
feedback I get from you all helps me to reflect on what I may actually be
doing--like pressing my chest voice so as to compete with all those basses
behind me.

busted! (as per above) But, I think that our hymnal was written so
baritones could sing tenor when necessary. Aren't there *any* techniques
that make it easier to find mixed voice after abusing one's self in chest?
