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) (31–40)
＝ (feat. YO_CO)BAK
Released in June 2022, this song is performed as a duet by BAK and YO_CO.
It beautifully showcases their call-and-response and overlapping vocals.
Since both singers primarily use head voice, it’s perfect for those who want to sing head-voice songs.
Because the range is on the higher side, be careful not to strain your throat.
When practicing, try singing with “h”-sounds to naturally release breath; this will make it easier to sing.
A particularly recommended method is to sing all the lyrics using “hi.” The “hi” sound makes humming easier and resonates in the head.
Start by pronouncing it lightly so that it resonates in your head rather than your throat.
Your breath will flow more naturally, and producing head voice will become easier.
PlatformUru
Uru is known for her delicate, airy vocals.
“Platform” was released on October 15, 2025, and is used as the opening theme for the TV anime Eternal Twilight.
Uru’s songs are generally sung with lots of breath and a falsetto-based approach, making them perfect when you want to sing in falsetto! Because “Platform” has a brighter tone, the falsetto isn’t as obvious as in some of her other tracks, but it’s sung with a strengthened, falsetto-like voice.
Singing with a similar technique might be a bit advanced.
But don’t worry! If you keep practicing using plenty of breath when producing sound, you’ll gradually be able to sing with more strength.
Aim for that clear, transparent vocal quality!
Mirror feat. Kosuke Saitoieiri reo
It was released for streaming on October 8, 2025, and was written as the theme song for the NTV Wednesday drama “ESCAPE: It Was Supposed to Be a Kidnapping.” It’s a collaboration between Leo Ieiri and Kosuke Saito, the guitarist-vocalist of UNISON SQUARE GARDEN and TenTwenty.
Despite the very high vocal range, both of their voices soar in the same register, and the result is truly beautiful.
It’s wonderful as a solo, of course, but if possible you’ll want to sing it as a male-female duet! That said, finding a man who can sing this high is no easy task…
When you sing it, try to focus on using your breath and producing a strong tone.
If you aim to resonate in your head while you phonate, you’ll gradually get closer to the right sound.
Core strength matters, too!
ActorIkuta Rira
This song, written and composed by Rira Ikuta, is used as the ending theme for the TV anime SPY×FAMILY Season 3.
Rira Ikuta, known as the vocalist of YOASOBI, is famous for her clear, translucent voice.
“Actor” features a melody line that isn’t too difficult and a range that isn’t overly high.
It’s easier to memorize and sing compared to other songs! When you listen to it, the verse sits quite low… I recommend opening your throat with a slightly surprised expression and singing as if you’re letting the breath flow.
In the chorus, it might work to sing mostly in head voice/falsetto.
However, since it’s a bright-sounding song, you’ll want to avoid a weak falsetto.
Try to sing with the image of constantly resonating in the head and firmly projecting your breath as voice!
BeautifulSuperfly
A track included on Superfly’s fifth album, WHITE, and the theme song for TBS’s Tuesday drama “Mother Game: Kanojo-tachi no Kaikyū.” There are probably many women who admire the powerful, soulful singing of Superfly’s Shiho Ochi, right? To produce powerful high notes like hers, mastering a chest-dominant mixed voice is essential.
Try practicing with the sensation of producing falsetto while firmly supporting your upper body with your abdominal muscles and minimizing air leakage.
Since it’s an up-tempo song, it’s also important to control your body well so you don’t lose a sense of speed!
