I think its so beautiful to watch Katharine being coached, and really taking the notes, and applying them without questions. She's just allowing her voice to be the instrument without any ego attached. Such a wonderful artist, who clearly is still willing to grow and learn
I didn't really know much about vocal coaching, and just thought of it as "singing lessons" without even really knowing in any detail what *that* meant. Then I saw Michael Jackson in his documentary right before he died and being coached and I thought, "Why would he need them?" But I imagine when you're at this high of a level like these women that's a big part of the professionalism is conditioning so that all the raw ability and practice comes through.
It’s so insane how psychological singing can be. In my lessons I can do all the exercises well, but when it comes to singing a song i get scared of the notes or singing too loud and pull back. I honestly think this channel, along with my lessons, have helped me improve my singing and confidence when singing 😊
It's so psychological! I know when I'm relaxed I can hit far higher notes confidently than when I'm nervous - that's why you've got to train your body to work right even when your brain isn't in it.
Singing is such a physiological and strenuous exercise,its why some of us play instruments instead.. Although I'm a drummer,so I'm using all four limbs,which can be pretty tiring as well!!.
Isn’t it so amazing to watch? I’m in awe of every video Natalie uploads purely because every critique she gives, is something I’ve never been able to explain or understand myself but she explains things better than anyone I’ve ever met before. It’s truely a blessing to watch.
I’d heard the opposite about her, so it was lovely to see her here. Humble, gracious and open to critique. Not that she could really get any better, she’s amazing- two supernovas right here.🤩🤩💫
It calms me, to see performers that I admire, train, rehearse and, sometime, struggle with technique. Because it makes them human, and helps me with my mindset, when I have to practise my own singing and when I struggle with the techniques. Mostly it makes me happy that no matter how known a performer is over the world, they still have to practise like the rest of us, and they can also make mistakes just like us. Thank you for sharing the session.
I’ve been her fan since American Idol, and was also lucky to get to see her as Jenna! Absolutely amazing! Her tone, depth, warmth and voice control are incredible!
I know! I'm a new student to singing and I don't have vibrato yet and I'm really confused about whether it's a natural thing or whether you mentally have to think about it every time.
All of her students are already singers and have basic singing technique and knowledge. Some are really good but still need some help but nobody is like a starter. Check out Jacob's Vocal Academy. They've got exercises for everything and you learn real fast add that to listening to Natalie and observing boom! It's all easy.
It really depends on the singer. Like, it didn't come naturally to me. But I've been working really hard on it, and now I can do it on command. In my case, it was just a matter of getting better breath control
Gray K it will come in time as you sing. As long as your using somewhat proper technique it will naturally develop as you keep singing. Once you “have it” it’s not something you really have to think about, it will just happen
This should be a reality series. Love the quick edits to cut the dead space. Well done. Would love some interjection / reflection from Natalie that could be relative to bigger learning moments. I find Natalie to be so relatable, fun, funny, and she know her shiz - for realz!
It is so nice to see Natalie figure out what's best for Katherine's voice. As a teacher myself it makes me feel so much better when I'm figuring stuff during lessons
It is rewarding to teach! To give my vocal students the knowledge of their own true voice thru technique and psychological confidence is a joy for me!!
I think this is one of Natalie’s best coaching videos. She caught the very minute details that could’ve been fixed, instructed and demonstrated how to, and she definitely made Katherine sing more healthily. Thank you Katherine for letting this be shared to the rest of us. This definitely helps me a lot with my singing.. Thank you Natalie, you’re the best ❤️❤️
3:19 My sentiments exactly when Katherine said "... Can I just hear you sing" The way Natalie sang the line of the song a few seconds before was just jaw droppingly beautiful🫠😍 Two gorgeous voices! And what an informative, funny and entertaining video. Amazing how much you can learn from this. Can't remember how many times I've been watching it
She's such a good teacher! She has the perfect balance between being warm enough to put people at ease and be receptive, and being firm enough to keep the focus consistent.
I haven't/don't put it in to practice, but I honestly feel like I'm subconsciously taking in all of the teachings and becoming a better vocalist watching these
Omg the position for the higher notes is so well-explained, I hit those notes for the first time ever, after many many unsuccessful attempts. Almost crying here, was sure my voice was just not made for this kind of songs. Thank you so much!
This makes me reminisce my time when I was taking vocal classes. It’s so encouraging to see Katherine still learning how to sing even when she’s already an awesome singer.
it's so incredible to watch a professional practice and struggle the same way I do. My lessons look just like this, and I always think I sound like shit because I'm always working on things and making little mistakes. It makes me scared to practice sometimes because my voice is so loud and I don't want people to hear how horrible I am. Watching this, it's clear that she never sounds 'bad,' she's just refining the sound. I'm not saying that I have her instrument, but it makes me feel a lot better
Natalie is an amazing teacher. I know nothing of the technicality of music and so this makes me appreciate even more all that goes into a song! I hope natalie coaches or teaches on a regular basis.
Watching Katherine be coached like this makes me feel so much better about how my voice coach picks apart every sound I make. Just goes to show that it takes hard work to sound perfect - even for the experts!
Love everything about this! No egos - just 2 people excelling at what they do best! Also Kat and Natalie are vocal run QUEENS! They do them so effortlessly 😩😍
Why I LOVE this video is to show people that even when you already have a gifted and trained talent as Kat does, vocal coaching is ALWAYS teaching student new or old techniques that MUST be utilized in order to get the best vocal performance possible.
Was lucky enough to see Katharine in the final run of Waitress on Broadway, just at the beginning of December. It was my maybe see musical and as soon as I knew it was her I knew it had to be seen. Fantastic singer, great musical, great seat! All totalled up to a amazing evening and a great memory!
So so vulnerable to show a voice lesson. It is AMAZING to see exactly how close this is to my lessons. I felt so self conscious of the many many corrections but now I see it is normal.
Natalie, it is just so amazing watching you clearly outsing a really talented singer in her own right lol. I could definitely hear the difference in Katherine by the end. You're ridiculous!
OMG why was this so fun to watch?? I can't sing a note to save my life but man watching these two working their tails off was so awesome. Apparently ppl aren't just born singing like Katharine McPhee-Foster. I mean she has a ton of natural talent obviously however this was good to show everyone that even those who are famous amazing singers have to practice and take lessons to continue to perfect their craft. Love Katharine McPhee ever since watching her on American Idol and how genuine and kindhearted she has remained all these years later is just heart warming.
I don't think these singers need EVER to go to a gym or jog....these sessions are enough of a physical workout to keep them in top physical shape...LOL
Top notch coaching meets top notch talent. This video was such a joy to watch. The skill and talent in that room is insane. (Also I just want to hang out with them - they seem so fun!)
I love Natalie's teaching! So inspired & informative. Also love that she had the transcribe button on!! I do that from time to time in my teaching, so funny. Also, how does she edit these videos? And I'm also intrigued by how open the singers are, even though a lot are professional, to have their progress being viewed.
Katherine is an amazing singer, and Natalie coaches her so well here. They really work together. Natalie, you are incredible. Thank you for sharing this session.
Thank You so much for this 🙏 I'm an ópera Singer but I really always wanted to sing chest voice. It's One of My quarantine Challenge. You are great teacher!!!!
I love singing but I have a horrible singing voice naturally lol and no technique at all. I wanted to take classes or have some basic knowledge just so I can sing without feeling like shit, not to be a singer or whatever but bc I like it so much and want to be decent at it. So watching these videos is actually helpful to learn a bit about placements and shit
I think its so beautiful to watch Katharine being coached, and really taking the notes, and applying them without questions. She's just allowing her voice to be the instrument without any ego attached. Such a wonderful artist, who clearly is still willing to grow and learn
Yes! I was thinking the exact same thing. You articulated it so beautifully. Peace 💜
Brandon Grimm “..allowing her voice to be the instrument without any ego attached.” YES. YES. YES!!!
Perks of having a vocal coach as a mother!
I didn't really know much about vocal coaching, and just thought of it as "singing lessons" without even really knowing in any detail what *that* meant. Then I saw Michael Jackson in his documentary right before he died and being coached and I thought, "Why would he need them?" But I imagine when you're at this high of a level like these women that's a big part of the professionalism is conditioning so that all the raw ability and practice comes through.
Natalie’s coaching instincts demonstrate an insanely profound understanding of vocal mechanics. Masterful.
She also very Broadway. Not sure she would be as good for pop singers.
She teaches singers of all genres, not just Broadway, I can promise you. She really is masterful.
@christian Williams PREACH.
She actually understands the differences of singing pop and broadway and that’s amazing about her that not a lot of singers get.
SO WELL SAID!!!
It’s so insane how psychological singing can be. In my lessons I can do all the exercises well, but when it comes to singing a song i get scared of the notes or singing too loud and pull back. I honestly think this channel, along with my lessons, have helped me improve my singing and confidence when singing 😊
It's so psychological! I know when I'm relaxed I can hit far higher notes confidently than when I'm nervous - that's why you've got to train your body to work right even when your brain isn't in it.
Yesss, or when I’m singing in mixed I chicken out and it all goes downhill
Singing is such a physiological and strenuous exercise,its why some of us play instruments instead.. Although I'm a drummer,so I'm using all four limbs,which can be pretty tiring as well!!.
Isn’t it so amazing to watch? I’m in awe of every video Natalie uploads purely because every critique she gives, is something I’ve never been able to explain or understand myself but she explains things better than anyone I’ve ever met before. It’s truely a blessing to watch.
when_life_gives_you_lemons I’m the EXACT same way as you!
“That’s too high for me.”
*aggressively supportive* “NO ITS NOT”
I love it.
"NeVeR EeNoUGh" ... "Show off"
05:02
*surprised pikachu face*
That was priceless lol
I known right :D
is anybody else distracted by **Katharine's gorgeous cheekbones omg
Yes Natalie's cheekbones are OMG 😍
JeJo By i think she meant Katherines
@@ashton5171 no I called haz and she meant natalies
I was definitely distracted by something.
Well now I am
Katharine is damn talented and seems like a super nice and humble person.
maga Encina I met her at at waitress london and she was lovely. Seemed almost shy
Def agree!
I’d heard the opposite about her, so it was lovely to see her here. Humble, gracious and open to critique. Not that she could really get any better, she’s amazing- two supernovas right here.🤩🤩💫
The "how dare you" after the riff at 08:05 is deserved. Great singer(s), great coach.
that riff was so beautiful
Amazing
Ik that was nuts. I’m not one to worship runs but that one was pretty, Musical, and reallyyyyy cleaaaaann
It calms me, to see performers that I admire, train, rehearse and, sometime, struggle with technique. Because it makes them human, and helps me with my mindset, when I have to practise my own singing and when I struggle with the techniques.

Thank you for sharing the session.
I love Katherine! Saw her as Jenna in Waitress west end and she was incredible x
BeautywithV Just saw her on Broadway and was blown away! ❤️
Truth.
I’ve been her fan since American Idol, and was also lucky to get to see her as Jenna! Absolutely amazing! Her tone, depth, warmth and voice control are incredible!
BeautywithV you should watch her in Scorpion 😭❤️ loved that show!
Wow I thought the whole video she would be such a good Jenna with her voice haha little did I know
How are all of her students able to add such a beautiful vibrato on command anytime?!
This is soo hard in my opinion >.
I know! I'm a new student to singing and I don't have vibrato yet and I'm really confused about whether it's a natural thing or whether you mentally have to think about it every time.
L She in that video here is a professional Singer. Check out "dont forget me" from SMASH
All of her students are already singers and have basic singing technique and knowledge. Some are really good but still need some help but nobody is like a starter.

As a trained singer this is SOOOOOOOOO fucking informative. The way she teaches is so funny and intense yet playful. Best type of coach.
This should be a reality series. Love the quick edits to cut the dead space. Well done. Would love some interjection / reflection from Natalie that could be relative to bigger learning moments. I find Natalie to be so relatable, fun, funny, and she know her shiz - for realz!
Kat: this is too high for me
Also Kat: *singing the highest notes of the song*
“I should do that!”
“You did”
It is so nice to see Natalie figure out what's best for Katherine's voice. As a teacher myself it makes me feel so much better when I'm figuring stuff during lessons
It is rewarding to teach! To give my vocal students the knowledge of their own true voice thru technique and psychological confidence is a joy for me!!
I saw her perform this at the garden and it was SO beautiful! I could literally binge all your videos, I learn so much!!!
I think this is one of Natalie’s best coaching videos. She caught the very minute details that could’ve been fixed, instructed and demonstrated how to, and she definitely made Katherine sing more healthily. Thank you Katherine for letting this be shared to the rest of us. This definitely helps me a lot with my singing.. Thank you Natalie, you’re the best ❤️❤️

WHAT?!!! THE COLLAB I WANTED THE MOST AND NEVER THOUGHT IT COULD HAPPEN. I SERIOUSLY CANNOT STOP SHOUTING. YOU'RE BOTH MAJESTIC CREATURES
So much respect for a world renowned singer and broadway actress who keep working on her craft with no ego!!
This is such a great reminder that the work never stops.
“Show off”
“How dare you”
Lmfao I am scared of you
Natalie is so strict but in a good way❤️Both extremely talented 😍😍
She's such a good teacher! She has the perfect balance between being warm enough to put people at ease and be receptive, and being firm enough to keep the focus consistent.
8:04
“You can do this too”
*does exact thing she said to do*
“How dare you”
I haven't/don't put it in to practice, but I honestly feel like I'm subconsciously taking in all of the teachings and becoming a better vocalist watching these
Omg the position for the higher notes is so well-explained, I hit those notes for the first time ever, after many many unsuccessful attempts. Almost crying here, was sure my voice was just not made for this kind of songs. Thank you so much!
i really want another musical tv show like smash or glee
The just came out with a show called "Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist" on NBC like one or two episodes out now. A Glee cast member is on it as a lead.
SMASH WAS SOOOO GOOD
Smash was the besttttt I was so angry when it got cancelled.
Sarah Irwin I never seen smash, is it really good?
Me too
The amount of technique coaching this teacher just gave out for free to all of us is incredible.
This makes me reminisce my time when I was taking vocal classes. It’s so encouraging to see Katherine still learning how to sing even when she’s already an awesome singer.
OMG I stumbled on this by accident an am just in awe of Natalie’s talent, voice, control, ear....everything 🙌🙌🙌
7:48 Cat Valentine intensifies
Gerardo Perez 😂😂
no wonder ariana has such good range lol
lmao
lol, so true! in fact Kat's tone & range reminds me a lot of Ariana's, both great vocalists
XD
I don't think I have ever loved a video so much. This is so great. The quick cuts in between make this feel like this is show. Love this.
7:06 They start doing Ariana Grande impressions
it's so incredible to watch a professional practice and struggle the same way I do.

This makes me miss Smash so badly. What a great show that was.
RIGHT! I wanted them to work on a song from the show so badly 😭
Natalie Weiss is so talented and amazing! Love her!!! So happy to see them working together!
Am I the only one who found the editing so nerve wrecking? My heart was beating like crazy the whole time! That was amazing! :D
Watching Katherine be coached like this makes me feel so much better about how my voice coach picks apart every sound I make. Just goes to show that it takes hard work to sound perfect - even for the experts!
Love everything about this! No egos - just 2 people excelling at what they do best! Also Kat and Natalie are vocal run QUEENS! They do them so effortlessly 😩😍
all the singers sound great, but Natalie is just divine, who agrees?
5:01 "..." "😲" "🤗" "showoff"
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Natalie is such an excellent and impressive vocal coach I’m gonna learn this song just to use this coaching video
OMG! This is so good! Natalie is a scarily good coach. Kat is phenomenal. So much talent in one room.
I’m exhausted… And I wasn’t even the one singing. Kudos to all the training and hard work that goes to perfecting a song.
Why I LOVE this video is to show people that even when you already have a gifted and trained talent as Kat does, vocal coaching is ALWAYS teaching student new or old techniques that MUST be utilized in order to get the best vocal performance possible.
Gosh, I miss training and lessons! These ladies have such beautiful voices! Its been too long! 14 years! I gotta start taking lessons with Natalie
wow my favorite singer coaching my favorite singer
Ugh, I just love Natalie so much!!! To take a coaching session with her is total goals 😭😭
One day I'll have a voice class with this woman. She's the real deal, you're awesome Natalie!
Was lucky enough to see Katharine in the final run of Waitress on Broadway, just at the beginning of December. It was my maybe see musical and as soon as I knew it was her I knew it had to be seen. Fantastic singer, great musical, great seat! All totalled up to a amazing evening and a great memory!
Katharine Mcphee has always been my favorite of everyone from American Idol ! I love her hahaha
from one american idol to another :,)
Maxwell James funny that the one who got kicked off much earlier is the coach
7:19 Katharine crossing her arms in frustration with herself made me laugh FOR SOME REASON (I'm a singer too),
I love how quick cut this is. Had me chuckling. Wish I could sing
She said “oh f*ck” at 6:54 😂😂😂
Also I did not know what a phenomenal voice Katherine McPhee has until today.
I love David's "HEY guys" at the end lmao
So so vulnerable to show a voice lesson. It is AMAZING to see exactly how close this is to my lessons. I felt so self conscious of the many many corrections but now I see it is normal.
you deserve it all. you're literally the best voice teacher ever.
PLEASE DO FROZEN 2 WITH HER
show yourself
Into the unknown
yesss
YESSSSSSS
Wow, I wish more vocal coaches would put cuts like this out. Super educational.
Queen Weiss!!!! I LOVE being a fly on the wall during your lessons! I could listen to you coach all day!
Love this session, super helpful and I like how it’s sped up
Katharine's voice is absolutely beautiful!
she's so passionate about this, and actually so fun to watch. gotta subscribe!
Natalie, it is just so amazing watching you clearly outsing a really talented singer in her own right lol. I could definitely hear the difference in Katherine by the end. You're ridiculous!
her version of what baking can do is sooo good
OMG why was this so fun to watch?? I can't sing a note to save my life but man watching these two working their tails off was so awesome. Apparently ppl aren't just born singing like Katharine McPhee-Foster.

Natalie is so. damn. good. I could listen to her all day.
i have the audacity to attempt this. who am i. i can't even sing
THIS. IS. EVERYTHING.
Natalie Weiss is a gift to the human voice
Natttt you're the best coach everrrrr 💖 Katherine sounds amazing!
“Echoing!!”
“I should do that!”
“You did.”
I don't think these singers need EVER to go to a gym or jog....these sessions are enough of a physical workout to keep them in top physical shape...LOL
My sinuses cleared on one of those 'Ohhhhh nooo's' so I knew the placement was awesome. Well done. Haha! I love these videos.
i jus luv the energy in this video :))
Top notch coaching meets top notch talent. This video was such a joy to watch. The skill and talent in that room is insane. (Also I just want to hang out with them - they seem so fun!)
I love the way you talk about percentage of registers in the mix we use. Thank you, I totally agree.
I never get tired of hearing Katherine I still remeber American Idol singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow, she never disappoints...
This video was recommended to me and I’m absolutely living for every reason
It's refreshing to see a professional singer such as Kat still getting vocal training. I guess you could say the amount of learning...is...ongoing.
This was fascinating, and I have to connection to singing or musical theory. Major props!! Gonna watch a few more!
This just blew my mind. I cannot imagine being able to make my voice do this.
I love Natalie's teaching! So inspired & informative. Also love that she had the transcribe button on!! I do that from time to time in my teaching, so funny. Also, how does she edit these videos? And I'm also intrigued by how open the singers are, even though a lot are professional, to have their progress being viewed.
We aren't just going to run past her run at 9:48. Simple but insane.
Justin May “oh Jesus” 😄❤️
Katherine's voice is beautiful! And I want to hear Natalie sing this song so bad now! She's such a pro!
Pure godsend you uploading these so accessibly, I learn every single time I watch you coach someone. You're fab
These are so educational, I talk about you in my voice lessons and classes! Great work
"I should do that.."
"Uh.. YOU DID!"
Well done Natalie- brilliant coaching! Thanks for posting for all us 'auditors' :D
I got to see her in London and she was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Katherine is an amazing singer, and Natalie coaches her so well here. They really work together. Natalie, you are incredible. Thank you for sharing this session.
I love watching two passionate people create fucking art omg wtf my brain is overloaded with mush
Thank You so much for this 🙏 I'm an ópera Singer but I really always wanted to sing chest voice. It's One of My quarantine Challenge. You are great teacher!!!!
I love singing but I have a horrible singing voice naturally lol and no technique at all. I wanted to take classes or have some basic knowledge just so I can sing without feeling like shit, not to be a singer or whatever but bc I like it so much and want to be decent at it. So watching these videos is actually helpful to learn a bit about placements and shit
Katharine actually kinda sounds like ariana when she talks
this is so entertaining to me i could watch them all day
Natalie is just amazing I learn so much from her
