Im not familiar with Chris Cornell's technique but I know Bach's vocal background and training. His main vocal teacher was Don Lawrence in NYC of whom Tony Harnell also worked with. I took a few lessons from him as well but he just didnt click for me. At any rate, Bach uses the resonance sensations to guide his tone and really puts the tone in the mask making sure that the front of the face vibrates just like Jaime says. He thins out the tone a lot but it is full voice or, if not, like really heavy mix which, sometimes, I cant even tell aprat in myself. At any rate, he then adds the rasp to the tone which makes it sound alot heavier and meatier I think. Melissa Cross calls this technique "Heat" and it is covered to some extent on her DVD, "The Zen of Scremaing", and in much greater depth on her supplemental CD, "Scream Extra". BTW, I freakin' luv Bach! "Wasted Tine" - holy shit. Nuff said. ;)

Amen!

hi, thanks to all whos helping me, im sorry for all the questions. when people say mixed voice is that adding as much low end of your voice to your high tone without exerting your vocal chords?, or on the high tones more air power=fuller voice. im about to throw vocals on my song 'glory' at http://www.audiostreet.net/artist.aspx?artistid=35064
im ready to rock lol

Mixed is the chest voice mixed with head voice.
Roger Love has a great book and CD called ... Oh crap! What's it called?? Oh yeah, "Set Your Voice Free" which has good excercises for achieving that mix. Jaime's book (OF COURSE!!) also has that stuff. Roger Love also has a dvd that I rented from Netflix that, while it was presented kind of lamely, had some good exercises on it for this. Seth Riggs, Roger Love, and others really preach about the mixed voice. I think it's very cool and Bach uses it, Augeri uses it, most singers of any range use it.
