"JAMES MENY: In mixed voice where we--where the advantage of mixed voice comes in is that most people they are teaching mix voice don't have a preconceived idea of where your voice is suppose to go or what it's suppose to do or what is suppose to sound like? So one of the very first things that we do and getting back to the reason I've brought up the Aerosmith and all that is how do we save the chords. We do what's called the simple lip bubble. A lip bubble is doing nothing more than just bubbling air through your lip so you go bbrrrr brr. Now you have to phonate underneath that in order to get an idea of balance of what this is suppose to feel like when it's balanced. So you just say Uh. U-H and you go uh then make it sound a little dumber if you're trying to do it for singing. If it's the first thing in the morning that you do before you start talking to your kids or wife or whatever you can just say regular uh and just go brrr brrr brrr and simple scales something like going up a five tones scale... that you can do in a room, in your car and drive to work bbrrrbrrrrbrrrrbrrrrrbrrrrbrrr."
