*Loren breaths*
Sam- goes into a 2 minute rant
Shua hahaha
I love his rants
@@feliciadawnauthor me too
You are the best one of these vocal coach reacts and comments. So many just groove along and say “yeah this is great”. You provide such constructive criticism it makes your videos both entertaining and educational. Thanks.
Carl Williams exactly!!!
YES! I have two vocal teachers that I follow, and if I just want a basic reaction I watch the other one. But if I want to really hear the science behind the singing, Sam is the man. It's also one of the only subjects I studied long enough to actually understand & follow (as opposed to watching Project Runway or whatever and agreeing with the judges as if I know anything about fashion, lol). Sam is *so* well educated and likeable. It's obvious he's a very, very good teacher.
Totally agree!!
Lord i just said this, let me go delete my comment 🤣
@@jerikitaxr21 That just means we all agree how awesome he is. Like a little family. A Samily, if you will.
I'm sorry, I literally couldn't help myself.
My goal in life is to find someone who looks at me the way Sam looks at her when she hits the high notes correctly 😂
Zoe Sakka
Right?🤣❤️
I am sure you will Zoe
HAHAHAHA Yesssss
you want him to not cut his hair and nod his head at you?
🤞🤣🤣🤣
“The Illuminati are making you pull chest voice.”
😂😂😂😂😂
heartsofgoldenrod I had to pause and laugh so hard after this
“NAver NAver cause it sounds insane and it’s not how you say it” had me cry laughing I had to screen record it!
This. 😂
I heard Ni-va...
Someone make a gif of his face when he's saying "it's fine". It's so good.
Kate Kelly What minute?
@@luciajorge4977 He says it a few times when talking about pulling chest voice, but the best ones by far are when he says it at around 9:38 and 9:41. His facial expressions are hilariously perfect for the phrase "it's fine".
@Lea-Anne I would totally buy that s#it.
I'll see if my man can do it & I can post a link to it. I can make gifs (because there's an app for that & I'm excellent at clicking two buttons), but he's knows how to "borrow" things from TH-cam and cut it down, etc. I feel like Sam would be okay with it. It comes from a place of love.
@@np1056 Perhaps ask Sam permission to do that, since it's kind of part of his livelihood. It would be the right thing to do. My opinion. ;)
When I saw this movie, I felt like my soul left my body during this scene. Her voice is so beautiful and awe-inspiring for me experience. To date, I still get tears in my eyes every single time I hear it. *Illuminati makes you pull chest voice more.* LOL love your videos.
She wasn’t the one who sings in the movie
Rafael Vásquez actually it is Lorens voice used in the movie and not Ferguson’s. This is common knowledge.
The editing is on point 😂 I'd love to hear your analysis of Haley Reinhart's vocals in PostmodernJukebox's cover of Creep, she's insanely good and I wanna know how exactly she can do all of that with her voice
I love the original so much, that I never thought there’d be a cover I could like more- along comes Postmodern Jukebox and proves me wrong!
That's such an amazing cover
@@katherinemorelle7115 there have been 2 or 3 covers that I've liked more than the original, which is crazy cause I didn't think that could happen. Lol
If you like that one check out Vincent from The Four. His version is insane!
Yes!! She has such an incredible voice and that cover is my all time favourite
When Loren intensifies her singing...Sam's eyes are like a small child on Christmas morning! So sweet!
Ok, I watch a LOT of vocal coach reacts, but I ALWAYS learn so much from your videos. I love hearing the technical details put in a way that laymen can understand
I'm not a singer, nor do I aspire to be one. But these videos are so calming, so positive, so addicting to watch :)
Agreed!! I do pick up on things here and there which hopefully will take me from being a horrible singer to mildly mediocre. Lmao. But mostly I just watch cause I like Sam's positive energy.
now all I can hear is "niver".....dammit..love you Sam!!!!!!
Best vocal coach on TH-cam in my opinion. No shade but most "vocal coaches" just "react" to these videos by making faces and saying ohh amazing but don't explain any of the technical aspects of singing
I adore your “voice teacher reacts” videos. All the others are like “oh nice” “that was great” cmon I could do that. I am happy that you break it down and you KNOW what you’re talking about. I love it
The fact that everything he said went above my head.
😂😂
Kamal LB
I just go with it and pretend I get everything! I get about 10%. That’s 10% more than I knew before.
😂😂😂 🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️💯
Debra Blouin I get the songs! Then pretend I sound like the person when I sing them lol
What I love about your reactions is that 30 seconds in the video you're already hitting the pause button and giving insight on what's happened in this short while, and that's pretty amazing!
Can you please react to Lea Salonga singing “On my own” at the les miserables 10th anniversary?
THIS!
dream without fear I agree! I would love to hear your analysis on that
can y'all mention him?
Yes!!
No, Filipinos will attack him. Filipinos are so sensitive when it comes to our singers.
Just when I thought Sam was done serving looks along comes conspiracy theory Sam! Yes.
I've only sung when I was forced to in school (other than when I'm ALL alone in the car), so I didn't think 'voice teacher reacts' would be something I'd enjoy. I'm super happy that I stopped by your channel almost a year ago! Thanks for shining light in this darkness that the internet can be
It would be really interesting to see you reacting to a clip of yourself singing.
There's actually a video like that on his channel
@@rafa.subeldia One, yes. But what about second video where Sam reacts to himself? 😂
I'm pretty sure he reacted to a video of himself singing in high school at some point during a show. :-)
I enjoyed her performance much more actually seeing her do it than seeing in the movie. I love your humor, btw. 😆
I love when she sings "for may" in place of "for me." It's just my favorite.
There's a video from Mister Golightly comparing broadway stars when they were young vs now I'd love to hear your opinion on
You are truly the only voice teacher I’ve found that actually try to learn the viewer something with your videoes! I would love to see you react to Susanne Sundfør’s live version of undercover
I always get goosebumps from this song!
We stan Sam talking about eyes.
Also, is it just my ears or is this version a little lower than the original?
Also^2, I'm living for this edits, Amber
It definitely sounds different than in the movie, but it was still good :)
@@RedRoseSeptember22 Oh no, I absolutely didn't mean to say it wasn't good! It really was, I was just wondering whether it was lower cause that's what it seemed to my ears.
Francesca Troiani I am kind of tone deaf but I think it’s a little lower too
❤️
@@Klainer721 Thank you Lauryn! I definitely don't blame her either, just wanted to know if my ear training exercises are working!
Singer: Breathes
Sam: [pauses video] Yes so I can see that so far it's great but they will probably pull chest
I joke, amazing video as always - Loren has one of the most stunning voices I've ever heard!
I have no idea how or when exactly I started following this channel, but you're the only vocal coach reacts I watch. You're just always so positive about people and thier singing, it's really sweet and entertaining to watch.
I love when you imitate what the singer is doing with their mouth while the video is playing. Sometimes it's hard to see, but then you mimic it and, for me, it helps so much at times. I'd love to hear you sing a chorus pulling chest voice vs proper technique, with a few different songs. You're reactions are so beneficial and actually help me understand how to change what I'm doing wrong instead of just saying it's wrong without advising how to correct it.
P.s. Dirty computers build character, you do you!
Christine Gerjets I totally agree with you about Sam imitating the singers, it is so helpful! I’d love to see an instructional video on belters as well but I suspect that’s something we’d have to pay his lesson fee for :)
@@hlrhammond Yes, probably. If there were one vocal coach/voice teacher on TH-cam whom I'd pay to get lessons from Sam would be the one for me. By a long shot!
Have you ever thought about reacting to different covers of the same song? Take this song for example: Cimorelli , Morisette Amon, Citizen Queen, Amanda Cole. They've all sung it differently from the original, but still keeping the integrity of the song. I know you've covered some...just asking if you can continue finding covers that bring a little something extra to the song.
Thanks for all you do!!!
Yes!!! I requested this so long ago!!! I'm so happy you get to do it ❤❤❤❤
Thanks, Sam, I've been watching your videos for a while now and find them very instructive.
Hi Sam,
I would love to hear you reacting and analysing to some nordic songs from Mari Boine or Trollabundin from Eivor as an example. I know it's different from what you normally react to but both are beautiful singers and I think nordic music has such interesting sounds and ways of using the voice! I'd love to learn a little bit more about this style and I think you can explain everything thats happing while singing extremely well!
So yeah hearing an analysis about this would be super duper lovely! 😊
LOL. So many things I enjoyed, the editing especially. Could you perhaps analyze Camila Cabello's very unique sound? I've heard it's partly because she has a lot of tension in her jaw which can't be helped due to her biology or something, idk. She has an almost auto-tuney sound and her live performances are incredible. Check out her latest Apple live show for Romance (especially that version of Never Be the Same).
I love seeing you get excited about what the singer is doing! You're amazing and i love what you do. 💙
One of your best and most hilarious videos! Love your reviews, but the comedic extras made it even better!
13:39 wait, was that Sam admitting her dad was one of his vocal teachers in college? I'm jealous!
choir conductor
Hey Sam, can you please analyze "Je Suis Malade Lara Fabian french and english subtitles" OR "Lara Fabian Adagio (live) from Lara with love"
:)
Jovi Veelos omg yes!!!!
Yes! Je suis malade!
Yes please!
Yessss or Lara Fabian singing Caruso 👏
This video brought me so much joy! I love watching you give props to singers when they are doing a great job as well as giving actually constructive comments rather than tearing people down
You are so good at what you do! I’m obsessed with your channel. Thank you for great content!
Hi Sam!! Could you do a video on Jennifer Hudson singing Memory from Cats 2019?
Yes yes yes!!!
Favorite musical ever
yay I was waiting for you to review this! love her!
I'm obsessed with this song, I've been waiting so long for this video ❤
Thank you Sam.
I've heard so many people review this song and a few mentioned that she said nebber not never in certain points. Every time I hear it now all I hear is nebber when she's had the repeating nevers. I love this recording though. It's so pretty. Thoughts???
It's just a very fast v sound is very close to a b sound. Both sounds are made with the lips. Both sounds are voiced (versus the unvoiced f or p alternatives). A v/f is a fricative, where the air flow is highly restricted but not halted. A b/p is a stop, where the lips stop the airflow entirely for a moment. When they go by really fast they sound similar because there isn't time to be certain if the airflow had been totally halted or just very restricted.
In English we use lower lip and upper teeth for the v. In Spanish, a v is the two lips almost but not quite halting the airflow, which makes the sound even closer to a b sound. So much so that Spanish speakers often make spelling errors that replace one with the other because they can't tell the difference--in conversation at full speed they are basically the same sound.
I hear never each single time. Not even close to sounding like nebber i think.
My guess is that the phantom B sound is mostly related to the alterations he talks about in this video.. And several experts telling you there's a B sound can easily make you hear something you wouldn't have heard otherwise. We're highly suggestable, especially when we know the person is well-versed in the topic. Almost like a "you can't ever see (hear) it the same way" thing. And like it's been mentioned above, V and B are incredibly similar sounds. And you have to hit that consonant incredibly fast when singing.
This is just my semi-educated guess from studying music and languages (which are super closely related, along with math.) One of the many reasons kids should study music.
Kind of got off track at the end, lol. But I would be really interested to hear Sam's opinion.
@@crosita1 Well said! Did you study linguistics? I've always wanted to be a linguist. It's so fascinating. Have you watched Wired's TH-cam series Technique Critique where a linguist breaks down accents from movie & TV? It's fascinating.
@@np1056 OMG love that series even though I am far too self conscious to actually try accents! I took as many linguistics classes as I could jam into my Zoology degree and music minor 20 years ago lol but if I had known it was a field of study that existed before I had started my undergrad I probably would have had an extra minor. And the crossover between singing and phonetics did justify a few courses 🤣🤣. But yeah, I love linguistics too. If you haven't read "Because Internet" I highly recommend that book (author narrates on the audio version which I appreciate in a linguistics book) which is a linguistics nerd take on internet language! The fact that most people check their keyboard mashing and redo it if it doesn't look keyboard mashy enough.... it's just awesome.
I just found your channel not too long ago and I’m so obsessed! You’ve made me want to return to voice lessons because I love your wisdom and knowledge and constructive feedback! Perhaps you could react to Lea Michele? I’ve always loved her voice and would be interesting to see what you think :)
I LOVE these videos!! Can’t wait for the next one!
Yeah you've got a fan from Brazil. I'm officially addicted to this channel. I'm marathoning all your videos. You're the best vocal teacher I've ever seen. ☺️
Gonna agree that I prefer this performance compared to the movie, though that was probably down to the character and costume 🤷♀️
Please do an analysis on P!nk and her singing while doing acrobatics 😍
Hi Sam! Please react to “(Just a) Simple Sponge” from the Spongebob Musical. Love your videos
Love you sooooo much, Sam! You are so focused, genuine, knowledgeable ... such an awesome teacher! Thanks so much for sharing your gift ...
I so appreciate your analysis and comments as you react. You give so much detail and training as you talk through why you care about the things you are noticing. Thank you for these videos!!!
when you hit me with that conspiracy throwback I accidentally "yaaas"-ed
U should react to Morissette cover of this song🙏 But still the song fit LOREN best♥️
Key B didn’t know she did a cover. Going to check that next.
heartsofgoldenrod u should. Her cover is one of the best i've ever heard so far
@@sukribangko5310 Haha and wow! Thought you were referring to Alanis, but pleasantly surprised to hear the beautiful cover. Fillipinos have the some of the best voices.
heartsofgoldenrod ahh i forgot to mention her last name🙏
The level of technical vocal feedback that goes into these analytical videos is amazing. New subscriber, first time ive watched one of these type of videos and actually felt like I've learnt something. Bravo! Wish I lived in America, vocal coaching like yours sounds like it could take me places!
You are one of my favorite TH-camrs and you’re just adorable. Your sense of humor is awesome!
You’re rad. That is all. Also, I can definitely only sing this song twice a day. Feeling called out on my bad belting coordination lol
Do I understand correctly that changing a vowel to a more “rounded” sounds helps to stop us from pulling chest voice? I think I need a “how to create a mix” tutorial...maybe this has already been done?
Watch a TH-camr calles Chris liepe, thank me later
Just a little trick/exercise for mixed voice that my singing teacher gave me, so basically what worked for me was to find a song that was mainly in my head voice (is that it in english??) but with some parts in chest voice, for me it was Carrie from Carrie the musical, and basically she just told me to start it up already in my head voice and see it really high when it goes back down, that way you're still connected with the airiness of the head voice, but with the power of chest voice, hope it helped a bit (??)
Émilie Darveau That’s a great idea. Thanks for your response!
No problems hope i've helped
@@emiliedarveau19
Could you elaborate on this please..I didn't quite understand.
I needed this review from you, Sam. Thank you!
I love how informative are your reviews! I have learned so much watching your videos, thank you!!!
Amazing speech about the eyes. Not a lot of vocal coaches talk about that
I recommend you react to Shoshana & Cynthia’s cover of I Did something bad, best cover I’ve ever heard!!
Would love to see you react to “I Believe in a Thing Called Love” by The Darkness!
I appreciate you & have learned SO much from your critiques.
I appreciate all of the details you observe & address in every vlog you make.
You are a genuine gift!!!
Don’t change!
You inspire and educate every moment you are working. Thank you so much!!!
Another great video, Sam! Thank you!
Can you please react to Shoshanna Bean singing “she use to be mine” I’d love your input
Can you please do Silverchair, Emotion Sickness, live at São Paulo, 2003. Please!!!
Aussie bands just don’t get enough love, and this song is a masterpiece from some extremely talented Aussie musos. They wrote their first hit, Tomorrow, at 14!! They started off very grunge, but by Emotion Sickness had integrated so much more into their music. So please cover them!
I’d also be curious as to what you think of Tina Arena’s voice. Chains was her biggest hit, but Sorrento Moon is pretty good too.
Edited to add: Julie Fowlis Hug air a bhonaid mhòir, because it is probably really useful in teaching how to sing difficult and fast songs (also it’s really impressive), or Tha mo ghaol air aírd a chuain (my love is on the high seas). I’d just really love to see someone reacting to Scottish Gaelic folk.
This is the cleanest audio for the live Emotion Sickness recording-

Love the passion my guy. Very glad i found your channel!
Loved your comments!!! Just found out your channel here and I’m already addicted! Much love from Brazil!
Hey Sam! Please do a review on Angelina Jordan (Astar). If you can specifically do her Bohemian Rhapsody from AGT the champions, otherwise maybe I put a spell on you? or any of your choice.
I’d love to see some more videos about Ariana Grande and Mariah Carey
I have to say, I've been BINGING your videos lately! I love that your reaction isn't just a "wow that is so amazing". If I want to only see that kind of reaction, I'd show the video to my family. But I prefer reactions where the person reacting can give a little more than just a wow. Maybe some input was to why they are amazed or something. You take a very educational approach and it's very insightful! I also love watching Tara Simon's videos for the same reason. You both give insight and expert opinions on WHY what the singer is doing is actually better than just sounding good!
So pretty much, all that to say that I love your videos and you should DEFINITELY keep on making them! Hats off to you, sir! :D
I must say, thank you so much for being you. It’s so rare to find people who have the selflessness, critical eye, as well as the maturity and wisdom really, to be able to truly teach others and give people a passion for their respective fields. I work small time in the entertainment industry and everyone is out for themselves, you’re in it for the work and the art, and it’s so refreshing to see!
It drives me nuts too though when people keep their eyes closed the whole time. It shuts me off from the whole experience I feel like
As a vocalist when I close my eyes I'm inviting the close YOUR eyes and visualize the lyrics with me? 🤷🏿 IJS
Can you do a reaction to Don't cry for me Argentina sung by Nicole Scherzinger
Check Out the honest vocal coach 👍😅
I love listening to your analyses, I'm learning so much. Thank you!
Sam posting a video about one of my favourite singers singing one of my favourite songs. On my birthday. Love it 8)
Please look at >> AURORA - Queendom Loustic Session
Trannail Random The meow warm up is indeed a real thing. And fun. So do it!
Please react to Shoshana Bean “Make It Rain”!
I just love your videos and you made it possible for me to understand some things I've been naturally doing! Love from Germany
I have listening to this song on repeat for a few days now... LOOOOOVE it. So excited to see this here!
Never been this early x)
KaoChibi
NIH-veh
Angelina Jordan soon? Maybe I Put A Spell On You live session or her Queen cover from Got Talent?
Yesssss
How about both???
It is amazing to me HOW MUCH can be analyzed about a single performance. Just thanks
Sam you are an absolute voice analysis and teacher psychomaniac. I love it, firm handshakes to you :)
Can you pleeeeaaaase react to Angelina Jordan’s golden buzzer on Americas Got Talent Champions?? She will blow your mind away
YASSSS
Doing a comparison to her now on AGt to her as a child (like her cover of I Put A Spell On You) would be amazing. She has SUCH vocals range and ability to be a vocal chameleon it would be a shame to just review one song...
PLIS REACT TO YOLANDA ADAMS TRIBUTE -WHITNEY HOUSTON
I love how you are so into each singer you watch. You are so immersed and I am so immersed
I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I found you recently and have watched a ton of your older stuff. My 13yr old son now watches your videos which is cool. :) Thank you for giving constructive criticism and analysis instead of just saying things are good and/or msking fun of people.
Conspiracy theory Sam makes an appearance! 😂
She’s a beautiful singer, the perfect choice for that song and I love her ❤️
thought that dude in the corner didn’t have a head for the first 30 seconds
This is maybe the best analysis on any vocal reaction video I’ve seen. The insights, perspectives, and vocal tips are exactly on point- at least in my humble opinion haha
I could watch you all day long. The look in your eyes when you're enjoying a singer's technique is so joyous.
Love your analysis and also that you don’t take yourself too seriously!
I think this was one of the best performances of this song I’ve seen. Spectacular!
I really look to you for excellent explanations of what is going on with the singers technique and approach. Thank you!!
She is amazing. I like to hear your analysis. One day I am going to sign up with you for voice lessons!!
I love the snapshots of your face you add to your videos. You have such a sharp sense of humor.
THANK YOU for this. I love this song so much and I always wondered structurally how it worked. She’s just THAT GOOD.
Another great video Sam! I've loved discovering your videos these last few months! Would love it of you decided to ever react to Loren Allred and Pia Toscano's live performance of Tell Him. A really stunning duet!
Love watching your videos! As someone who sings for pleasure/occassionaly for others, I have loved the tips I've learned from you. Especially reminding myself to relax and not concentrate on technique when I'm performing.
