This vocal tip is for the all ladies. Check out the videos below.
Unlike the men who is is able to sing most songs using mostly their Chest Voice, most women have to use 2 types of voices to sing... namely their Chest Voice and their Head Voice. Mixing them well will give your listeners the illusion of using only One Voice. I found this on the the internet which is very usefully for Learning by Listening.

It's funny that the question is asked by a guy named Tim (I'm assuming this is a guy, could this be a girl's name?) and the answer seems to be for the women by a woman. This lady who answered the question has picked some female singers you could learn from by listening to them.
Read carefully her tip which I've bold below... but most of all enjoy the performance... and learn something.

Question by: Tim
How do you mix your CHEST VOICE and HEAD VOICE together?
I finally found both my head voice and chest voice, now I need to know how to mix them together to create a full sound...

You can definitely MIX the two! The MIX is probably one of the most common styles for female singers on Broadway (and in musical theatre in general) right now.
My first piece of advice? Work on expanding your legit voice (otherwise known as your standard soprano) and then work that technique by singing your belt songs with that legit sound first. Then gradually work in the chest voice until you find more of that MIX.
Think of it this way - a MIX is what Idina Menzel does at the end of "Defying Gravity" (yes, she does, don't argue - she may of belted it on the Tony's, but belting that 8 shows a week would wreck havoc on one's voice.) Sutton Foster mixes, Julia Murney is the QUEEN of mixing - even Eden Espinosa mixes to get that HIGH belt (up to those e's and f's.) They may sound like chest belts, but the style comes from learning to mix your voice properly. I'm working on that - and believe me, it's a definite style and a challenge learning to break the bad habits to try to chest belt those notes. :)
Find yourself a good MIX voice instructor and you will do well. :) For some sounds to listen to, listen to a lot of Georgia Stitt's songs (she has an album sung by Broadway stars on itunes called "This Ordinary Thursday), or look at some of Scott Alan or Bobby Cronin's stuff on YouTube - they are two up and coming composers that write a LOT of their female songs up in that high MIX range. :)
Best of luck to you!!!
