# Identify the emotion of the song There are many ways to, for instance, mix a voice so it comes forward. Once you're identified the emotion of a song, you can make a better informed decision about what to do to create the desired effect.[^1] Be specific. Is it just anger? Rage? Resentment?[^1] Imagine what it would look like if this song was put to picture. What would a music video look like?[^1] Then when mixing, don't overdo it. Make it seem as if the emotion is already there.[^1] [^1]: [[Mixing with Emotion with Matthew Weiss]]
