Practice Songs Helpful for Learning Mixed Voice (Middle Voice) [For Women]
The term “mixed voice.” If you’re interested in singing, you’ve probably heard or seen it at least once.
Many of my vocal training students say, “I want to be able to use mixed voice!” However, I feel that surprisingly few people actually understand what it is.
So what exactly is mixed voice? Simply put, it’s “the voice between chest voice and head voice.” That’s why it’s also called middle voice.
In actual songs, it’s mainly used to cover the high-tone range that’s hard to hit with chest voice, but by changing the balance of how much chest and head voice you mix, you can create a wide range of vocal expressions.
In this feature, I’ve gathered female singers who skillfully use mixed (middle) voice to express their songs.
I’m sure you’ll find plenty to reference when you practice with the goal of mastering mixed voice yourself.
I hope you find it helpful.

[For Women] Practice Songs Helpful for Learning Mixed Voice (Middle Voice) (21–30)
flameLiSA
LiSA’s 17th single, released in October 2020.
It also serves as the theme song for the film Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train.
The vocal melody spans a very wide range, making mastery of mixed voice essential to sing it.
It’s likely that LiSA herself uses mixed voice even from the relatively low notes in the A section.
By singing this part with a soft mixed voice, she creates a striking contrast with the powerfully delivered chorus.
The transition from high mixed voice into falsetto in the chorus is smooth and superb.
It’s a bit of an advanced pick, but definitely worth the challenge.
Coloryama
This is the 13th digital-only single by yama—who is active both as a solo singer and as a member of the Japanese rock band BIN (credited as Yamagami in BIN)—released in October 2022.
Most of the song is sung in mixed voice, making it an ideal piece for practicing that technique.
It feels like the song skillfully alternates between nasal (head) resonance and chest resonance depending on the melody’s pitch, so I recommend studying the original track with a focus on the differences in vocal tone across sections.
I’m sure you’ll gain a lot from it.
Crimson Lotus FlowerLiSA
This is LiSA’s 15th single overall, released in March 2019.
It also serves as the opening theme for the TV anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.
Even though we often just say “mixed voice,” there’s a wide range of ways to use it—from a stronger, chest-voice-leaning mix to a softer, falsetto-leaning mix.
The chorus of this song is most likely sung with a stronger mixed voice.
When you practice, try to aim your voice quickly and firmly toward the center of your upper palate and the nose.
It’s also important to create a clear contrast with the sections sung in falsetto, so listen carefully to the original track and study that aspect as well.
Fu re te Fu re ruTK from RIN TO SHITE SIGURE
The B-side to “unravel,” which could be called TK’s signature song, is actually “Fu re te Fu re ru.” It explodes even more with high notes and falsetto than “unravel,” and it’s one of my absolute favorites to sing at karaoke.
Rather than a clean falsetto, TK’s falsetto pierces like a cry, so unless you can normally hit high notes, it’s a tough song to pull off… That said, it’s a super cool track, so if you think of it as a way to practice falsetto, I definitely recommend it for rock lovers! It’s fine to start with a weak falsetto.
Just keep practicing using a lot of breath over and over, and gradually build your explosiveness—that’s the idea!
GOOD DAYMrs. GREEN APPLE
Released in September 2025, this work is a celebrated song by Mrs.
GREEN APPLE woven with a lively melody around the theme of enjoying life.
Their songs often span a wide vocal range, and this one is no exception, covering a very broad range from mid1 B to hi D.
The standout feature is the final chorus, where hi B appears three times, all sung in mixed voice.
Although it’s quite high, if you have an above-average vocal range, it should be just barely singable.
Try focusing your practice on training to produce a light, small mixed voice at first, then gradually increase your volume.
