Something about her had always sounded so effortless but in a way that you can't imitate without being really comfortable and practiced with your voice.
Incredible I was literally not expecting that you would appreciate Billie's style as you are more of that powerful type singer, but you never fail to amaze that's why you're incredible. Just amazing
She deserves that "How to Sing Like" video. She's one of the best of her generation, so inspiring ! Ok, now I know how my next song is gonna sounds like ;-) Thank you again, Chris !
This is amazing! Thank you for making this video. She literally invented her own technique and I think it’s a completely new style cause I never ever hear any singer who sang like her before. For me, it felt like she’s using a low chest voice, with some vocal fry at some parts, that’s why some people called it as “whisper-sing”. I actually learned at succeeded to mimic her style and I had to say it’s REALLY hard and so exhausting. It requires a very skilled vocal and breath control, Dresecendo-Crescendo something mostly only choir kids know (Billie was in choir), otherwise it would be accidentally too loud, led to voice cracks, or it’s too low, and running out of breath that makes your voice doesn’t come out in some notes. You can clearly hear and compare how different Billie singing technique from her older song. I think my future and No Time to Die is the songs of her that fully used this technique.
You are a legend. Her new song, 'What Was I Made For' has made me so interested in her music and I came straight to you to learn the singing technique lol
I think of this kind of singing as "falsetto chest voice" when singing like this its really easy to seamlessly go between registers, because everything is so light
This is partly how I learned how to support a good mixed voice. Cuz a chesty mix is just this, with more cord closure, more support, and more compression.
Amazing tutorial i have been obsessing over these tiny desk concerts studying her since they came out! amazing tips about the vibrato and the doing vocal fry in higher registers!!
@@chrisliepe Best vocal teacher i have found on youtube. Still have to look through all your stuff but your stuff on how to scream right has really helped me too!!
Funny I wanted to look up how to sing with more power.. but than I got side tracked and heard a nice billie song.. then it lead it me here.. and this was useful.. Thanks for sharing! :)
Would be very interesting to hear your opinion of her switch-up in Happier Than Ever. Even non-fans are blasted by that song! Thank you for this wonderful video
Amazing. I know you are mainly a rock singer but pop styles suit you better than they should. I'm impressed. I've already requested Legend and Mendes. After watching this I'd like to add Charlie Puth and John Mayer to the list
Please do Steve Perry! Love to see how you react to his use of vowel and how it allows him to switch registers seamlessly. He has a nasal sound while also being very clean.. One thing worth noting is his regular speaking voice vs hi “performance” voice
As a complete flip from this, seeing you cover someone as proficient and diverse as Russell Allen (Underworld album) would be amazing. Super distorted but pitched growls, high and resonant clean mix, it would be great
I feel like the way they record is a big factor contributing to the sound as well. Is the gain up a lot? Certain EQ? Would be curious what you think. I noticed the mic is quite far away in her performance but its picking up all of the subtle breaths and such. How does that work?
Yeah whisper-y singing like Billie's is usually compressed quite a lot to really bring out the voice. The choice of mic is also quite important. She is using a condenser microphone, which pick up super quiet sounds well.
Hello chris! I recommend that you check out Rory Rodriguez's vocals. He is a insane vocalist both live and studio, and im interested in knowing which tecnique he uses, because i have asked him and he doesn't know exactly. So i would like for you to examinate it, and make a video on it! (Dayseeker)
I love the approach she has! You broke it down so well. Could you do a breakdown on Remington Leith from Palaye Royale? I think he's got a similar approach to Eilish
Thank you for this thoughtful exploration, I'm quite new at singing and am very quiet, and this was lovely and encouraging insight on embracing that quiet. Subbed and looking forward to exploring your voice lessons!
I know they’re a smaller band but I would love to see you do a video on Dan Campbell from the Wonder Years. His voice is so interesting on songs like There, There and Cardinals and Cigarettes & Saints.
That's a wonderful video! What would you say , is Billie mostly switching between mixed voice and head voice? Or is it more chest voice? I'm just wondering, she sings such high notes without any power and I don't know how one can do that with chest voice. Thanks for the video :)
@@chrisliepe oh really? Thanks! I feel like the higher notes often sound like mixed voice, a bit "twangy" if you know what I mean. But I never was sure about it. It's so hard to divide between chest and mixed voice sometimes.
Singing softly is completely different. Well, I don't pull chest voice, for one thing. I switch WAY earlier. Cool to do. But I did hurt my voice years ago. Back when singing meant SHOUTING REALLY LOUD!! Didn't have the support needed to sing softly. Sounds dumb, but I hurt my voice trying to sing in choir without being loud. Had horrible technique. Wasn't connected properly. So yeah, singing soflty IS very effective and CAN be difficult.
@@luna4037 Oh, I'm fine and it was years ago! Basically, I was mimicking what I though I heard putting way too much effort into it. I sing every week on stage. I was always too lazy to focus on my technique properly, but I'm fine. There's just so much interesting sounds to explore!
Hey Chris, I would love to know what sort of microphone you are using. And does that mic have a pop filter inbuilt. I mean I have seen you shout and scream on that mic, but I never heard any pops or Beeps.
Mojave MA300... no pop filter, I'm just intentional about my angle of approach and proximity. It takes some practice, but it's more fun than having the dumb pop filter right in front of my face, plus that wouldn't look very good for the videos :)
It would be cool to see you do a video on Larkin Poe. They are a great group with lots of cool harmonies. They have tons of good live performances on their TH-cam channel to pick from.
@@chrisliepe Yep I found one of the clips! Everytime I watch one of your videos I just keep hearing "and we're passing onward... and it's all for the loooove" and it's driving me crazy! Seems like those aren't on your social medias
@@ThatGuy-ep7xq right... THOSE are not... they were written as "works for hire" for two different radio broadcasts as jingles for their programs so I'm not able to post full versions.
i watched this video because i need to know more about artistic singing. at what point am i a lousy singer and at what point am i artistic. i would like to see a video about Janet Devlin. And if you don't mind, try to recreate her voice in a male chest or mix voice. This is a great video, but as a male, i wouldn't try to sing an entire song in my head voice to match her pitch. And as a non experienced singer, i am left a bit confused. Great channel !! I am learning a lot from you.
hi chris, what about a video of how to sing like hyde the ocalist of vamps and larc en ciel, it would be and amazing video of someone out of this part of the world
Her subdued vocals and fashion aligns somewhat with the classic "'alienated Teenager'" attitude. But like all pop singers, who I consider human Pinterest boards of underground talent -- It still sounds like ordinary music.
I'm not at all a fan of hers. But this 'soft' approach is intriguing, simply as a vocalist. It seems to me its an over-enunciated dissection of letters. Vowels in particular, of course. There's obviously chorus added to her mic which is turned up to 11... I've always been in the camp that vibrato should not be forced. Rather, happen naturally due to complete relaxation.
Billie and her brother are not my cup of tea but I do appreciate that they are at least different than all the other stuff you hear in pop music today. Their popularity is a sign that people are desperate for something different. At the risk of sounding like the "get off my lawn" guy, almost any live performance I've seen of her, I can't understand a word she is singing.
It’s not easy to sing like Billie Eilish, it’s crazy breath control
I only have seen jazz singers doing that stuff
fortunately can do it 🙂not that much great but it's match so closely...50% ig!
Nah, it's just breathy
I have always believed, Billie's soft whisper singing ability takes an advanced skillset
Yeah. That's what many people don't know. It's takes a whole lot to do it.
Something about her had always sounded so effortless but in a way that you can't imitate without being really comfortable and practiced with your voice.
Very true!
Incredible I was literally not expecting that you would appreciate Billie's style as you are more of that powerful type singer, but you never fail to amaze that's why you're incredible.
Just amazing
Wow, thank you!
You killed singing in her style your voice really sounds great in that soft approach man
Thanks!
She deserves that "How to Sing Like" video. She's one of the best of her generation, so inspiring ! Ok, now I know how my next song is gonna sounds like ;-) Thank you again, Chris !
THANK you for appreciating her actually not easy style of singing.. cuz im TIRED of comments like she cannot sing, she only whispers, etc! Made my day
I love that performance of "My Future"... From the tiny desk concert.... More than the studio release.
This is amazing! Thank you for making this video. She literally invented her own technique and I think it’s a completely new style cause I never ever hear any singer who sang like her before. For me, it felt like she’s using a low chest voice, with some vocal fry at some parts, that’s why some people called it as “whisper-sing”. I actually learned at succeeded to mimic her style and I had to say it’s REALLY hard and so exhausting.

You are a legend. Her new song, 'What Was I Made For' has made me so interested in her music and I came straight to you to learn the singing technique lol
Most challenging vocal style for me to date. Keep em coming.
She sings in all ranges if you watch her old personal videos she just prefers lower vocal style
Great Breakdown. Her voice is so good
I think of this kind of singing as "falsetto chest voice" when singing like this its really easy to seamlessly go between registers, because everything is so light
This is partly how I learned how to support a good mixed voice. Cuz a chesty mix is just this, with more cord closure, more support, and more compression.
You should do a video on McCartney especially his aggressive vocals on Helter Skelter, Oh! Darling, Why Don’t We Do It In The Road?, etc.
Ya, he's on the list for sure!
YES! That loud section on Oh Darling is definitive screaming for me
@Allan Franzner YOU DIDN'T NEED ME ANYMORE
I'm glad you did this, people think it's easy to sing low and quiet notes but it can be a lot harder to sing like she does
I really like the diversity in your Sing Like videos. Keep up the great work Chris!
Thanks! Will do!
Amazing tutorial i have been obsessing over these tiny desk concerts studying her since they came out! amazing tips about the vibrato and the doing vocal fry in higher registers!!
Glad it was helpful!

Her vibrato feels like a purring cat and adds so much warmth an emotion.
Would be very interesting to hear your opinion of her switch-up in Happier Than Ever. Even non-fans are blasted by that song!
Thank you for this wonderful video
I want *"DUH"*
Amazing. I know you are mainly a rock singer but pop styles suit you better than they should. I'm impressed. I've already requested Legend and Mendes. After watching this I'd like to add Charlie Puth and John Mayer to the list
I agree with your suggestions... will have to dive into these guys as well for sure!
@@chrisliepe I'm happy you agree, keep up the amazing content
I didn't expect to see this video!
Cool!
Good, I think :) Hope it didn't disappoint!
@@chrisliepe Never!
Chris I love your videos! I've learned so much about my voice and all its subtleties from you! Your breakdowns are always top tier!
Awesome as always Chris. Thank you so much for this high value content
My pleasure!
Please do Steve Perry! Love to see how you react to his use of vowel and how it allows him to switch registers seamlessly. He has a nasal sound while also being very clean.. One thing worth noting is his regular speaking voice vs hi “performance” voice
Oh my god, how could I miss the video? I love the little one. When you just started singing, Chris, that sounds breathtaking !!!!!
Brilliant Chris, Billie is quality...thanks 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
OHH you've done it!!! Love this brother
Enjoy!
Please do frank ocean next preferably “ivy” or “higgs” 🔥🔥🔥
As a complete flip from this, seeing you cover someone as proficient and diverse as Russell Allen (Underworld album) would be amazing. Super distorted but pitched growls, high and resonant clean mix, it would be great
11:40 so, you are against of using mask, like singing in a smile? Where I can get more information about those two camps?
I feel like the way they record is a big factor contributing to the sound as well. Is the gain up a lot? Certain EQ? Would be curious what you think. I noticed the mic is quite far away in her performance but its picking up all of the subtle breaths and such. How does that work?
That would be a really good video!
@@chrisliepe Hope to see it! Great vid and love the channel man.
Probably the compressor; I watched Chris's vid on using a compressor and after applying it I found that i heard my breaths a lot more
Yeah whisper-y singing like Billie's is usually compressed quite a lot to really bring out the voice. The choice of mic is also quite important. She is using a condenser microphone, which pick up super quiet sounds well.
PLEASE DO FINNEAS NEXT!!!!!! IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO FOREVER
Great stuff Chris!

Very insightful. Can you by chance do a video on how to scream like Ada Rook from the band Black Dresses?
Great idea!
Thank you for sharing..🙏🏼
this channel makes me want to sing.
oh good :)
I love the approach she has! You broke it down so well. Could you do a breakdown on Remington Leith from Palaye Royale? I think he's got a similar approach to Eilish
Nothing smart to say, just giving support to your channel. Great job again buddy. Keep up the good work. 🤘
Much appreciated!
Thank you ! Love your Channel!!
You are so welcome!
That was excellent. How about Daryl Hall especially Sacred Songs where there's no pop star pressure on what he's singing?
Thank you for this thoughtful exploration, I'm quite new at singing and am very quiet, and this was lovely and encouraging insight on embracing that quiet. Subbed and looking forward to exploring your voice lessons!
Great Job!
This Video Help Me A Lot Thank You Man
fascinating, thanks Chris : )
Glad you enjoyed it
I know they’re a smaller band but I would love to see you do a video on Dan Campbell from the Wonder Years. His voice is so interesting on songs like There, There and Cardinals and Cigarettes & Saints.
Hey Chris, can you make a video about Lajon Witherspoon (Sevendust)? Grasp and waffle are my favorite tracks.
Can you please do a how to sing like Sabrina claudio? It would be greatly appreciated!
lol idk How I got vibrato specially since I can’t sing worth a dang but you broke it down here in a way I never could lol
That's a wonderful video! What would you say , is Billie mostly switching between mixed voice and head voice? Or is it more chest voice? I'm just wondering, she sings such high notes without any power and I don't know how one can do that with chest voice.

Mostly chest and head
@@chrisliepe oh really? Thanks! I feel like the higher notes often sound like mixed voice, a bit "twangy" if you know what I mean. But I never was sure about it. It's so hard to divide between chest and mixed voice sometimes.
Interesting what you said about projection at the volume I was looking at mic placement is that relevant cheers Chris
Bryan Garris of Knocked Loose is insanely unique! Or Brendan Murphy of Counterparts is a fucking insane
not chris making a video on my literal idol
Ay I want to know does she sing in falsetto or head voice can someone please explain
both! th-cam.com/video/hCmeW_NWlHE/w-d-xo.html

@@user-oy7gz5bf2h aww that’s good to hear then! You’re totally right!
Thank you
Omg i wanna sing just for hear you doin it
The performance is good, very good. I don't know how versatile she is thinking of Jeff Buckley... 👌👍🤝 Thanks.
Ooh, Buckley is WAY more versatile for sure!
Vibrato AKA Working with the goat.
Hey Chris, I would love to know what sort of microphone you are using. And does that mic have a pop filter inbuilt.

"How to Sing Like Louis Cole" sometime in the future? Would be cool to see you analysing his vocals

can i show me how do the vibrato and the chest's voice
