Here's Kat's actual performance of 'Never Enough' that she performed at MADISON SQUARE GARDEN in NYC. How do you think she did?! th-cam.com/video/YgkT9hhUpvY/w-d-xo.html
She shows why she's got superior gifts. She retained basically the bulk of that coaching, and used it in that performance. Which is pretty astounding... the tone was round and not "thin" or spread, like Kat was complaining in the lesson. Round and big and vibrant. It's exceptional.
She’s never sounded better. And that last belt at 2:50 of that video is incredible. I find it curious that Natalie told her to sing the third “me” as “meee” but Kat sang it as “meeehhhh”.
It‘s really cool to see someone like Katharine in a voice lesson. Like her voice is always so perfect it’s good to see her mess up a little. It just shows that no matter how good you are you need to keep training
No its not, thats for sure! It takes lots of practice and the voice is really a "double reed" instrument with the vocal chords and folds becoming the instrument reed. and sinuses, and the chest cavity the resonators. It also means controlling sibilance and "plosive p's. And seamlessly moving through your vocal registers. All without strain or you can get vocal fold nodules. And you have to learn to not only do all of that but do it with appropriate emotion. And of course you have to be able to tell an Ab from an A# You have to work at it constantly - and discipline in diet, activities including proper sleep and physical strength. Having a vocal coach is very important BUT the coach has to attuned to the type of music you intend to sing. An operatic vocal coach could do more harm than good for a pop singer and certainly vice versa. Listen to Sarah Brightman in Phantom (of the Opera) or Idina Menzel singing "Defying Gravity" from Wicked.... masters at work.
Damiana Cole singing since child doesn’t mean you know everything. Obviously, i get the joke because she can hit higher than that, but you seem to confuse big note and high note.
Me too. Meanwhile I'm just wandering around my house with my mediocre voice singing "Sing. Sing a song. Don't worry if it's not good enough for anyone else to hear, just sing.Sing a song"; whilst trying to convince myself that lyrics are true and Sesame Street didn't lie to me.
It’s crazy how she is on Broadway and is still perfecting the songs, I think she is a phenomenal performer which really helps her secure these parts, she is aware that she is not the best singer but she is always improving
Unfortunately that is not proper technique. She is completely singing in chest voice and pushing the air forcefully past her vocal chords. Any classically trained soprano can sing that high and way higher by using head voice which sounds much prettier.
Amy Shannon she’s using mix...🙄 and guess what, there are different vocal styles. You can’t compare this style of singing to a classical soprano! Different tools, different result. How boring would music be if everything was just sung in head voice!
@@amyshannon8718 it’s proper belting technique. By your logic, no musical theater performers sing in proper technique cause 99% of material is belted lol
How ironic, both of them were in American Idol. Katharine was a runner up while Natalie was eliminated after the group performance. But look who's teaching who. Either ways, both of them are great singers in their own respective ways xoxo
Chester Zulueta being a teacher is a diff set of skills then a vocalist. Obv someone can be both but its very clear that natalies amazing ear is made for this job!! Love seeing two people to amazing at the respective crafts work together is so amazing!
Being a teacher is a different set of skills. Being able to communicate and make concepts that can be so abstract easy to perform while relating to your student is an art in itself. I’m sure Kat has some tricks that she could teach Natalie too. Being an artist is collaborating
Coz it shows singing isn’t just about the technique. Natalie has the technique and range, but not the tone, soul or any unique character to her voice/style.
Love Kat's humility in getting help from Natalie! 😍 I've followed Kat since she was on Idol in 2005 and have always loved her tone. Her belting used to get so high-larynxed, nasal, and thin in her mid-upper range, though, so I am happy to see how much she has improved since then.
Holy wow! I'm exhausted. I'm not a singer, sadly not even in the shower. You're welcome. I never knew how much effort went into singing. I just assumed people like Katherine just sing it perfectly, naturally without being taught all these intricate little things. So impressive and interesting. I could listen to both of them all day long. Thanks for pulling back the curtain. 💕
its hard work. natural talent is not enough . you must constantly keep training, learning. work work work. great job ladies, saw Kat in waitress. she slayed. also msg performance
alvin medina sometimes it can be enough. Laura Osnes for example said that since she is on broadway she never took a singing lesson and her singing especially her belts and long notes are out of this world.
@@mariadoll5099 Hi that may be true for laura. I have heard from Stephanie j block Celine dion n countless others that continued lessons are crucial. I agree with that. thanks
Kate Clarke she’d have had a lot of coaching for shows she’s done also having no formal training doesn’t have to equal not working hard. I’m sure Laura Osnes works incredibly hard on her voice
@@TheAshumms never said not having formal training means not working hard . it often means that you work harder. especially as you compete with train folks . please read before you comment.
Interesting. She's working on opening her vowels on higher notes. Great! She's doing exactly what she should be doing, cause she naturally has a high voice. It's good that she's realizing she needs to make her voice rounder on open vowels when she's belting high. 🙂
Kat is phenomenal but I also love the fact that we see she still struggles/learns better ways to project her voice even though she’s been successful on Broadway.
Nataalllliiee yaaaaasss 😭😭😭 them working together is everything we needed. If there are any of you who don’t know who Natalie is, do yourselves a favor and look up her cover of She Used To Be Mine.
Two of my favorites together!! This brings me so much joy. When Kat gets that speech mix in the pocket on Never Enough she reminds me of the recording Kelly Clarkson did. Sounds so so good.
I so appreciate Natalie Weiss's bravery in showing things down the octave! That takes so much courage as a teacher. And thank you both for showing the learning process !!! It shows that we always are growing. Super appreciate this video!!!
I love this. She is so freaking talented and when you see her perform it just feels so easy for her. I love to see all this attention to detail and the struggle and all that. I hear a lot of this kind of stuff in my own voice lessons (although I'm .0001% as talented) which makes me feel better.
What you’re doing is amazing. I’ve always sung in the washroom and privately in the shower, but through your videos I’ve had the confidence to sing live and it’s been amazing. I’m shook, seriously.
Anyone that is a singer needs to listen to this! Such good information for even the accomplished singer! Love seeing Kat continuously improve herself and her craft! I watched her performance of Never Enough before seeing this and now understand why she sounded sooooo good!
It's amazing how something that sounds so beautiful and easy takes so much practice and work. Good job Kat. Your teachers voice is also so very amazing. Nice.
I am 80 years old and I (love?) my voice coach of about 1 year. She has increased my upper note for full chest voice from D4 to at least C5 (haven't checked any higher). I have put my Ol Man River on youtube. I think it is at least as good as anyone else on youtube.
Loved this so much! I have started back to vocal coaching, though I have nothing I working towards. Seeing Katharine still working those vocal exercises gives me hope that there is always opportunity for improvement.
This video is such a joy to watch! Such incredible coaching and beautifully taken on board. Inspiration for my own performing and coaching work. Thank you for posting!
Katherine one of our biggest GIFTs ever😭😭😭😭, jesus christ, one of the most unique voices ever, so underrated. In the other hand this is a great vocal teacher.😍
Both of them are wonderful vocalists 💖 Lots of people in the comments seem to not realize that even the most accomplished vocalists have continuous regular vocal coaching. Singing is a lot more difficult than many understand & requires constant maintenance to stay on top of your game.
Wow Natalie has an amazing voice would love to hear more. I love Katherine been a fan and follower for years love her voice we need to hear and see more of her
All that scream so good in ears. Never knew they need detail in every key to make a perfect in one package. All i know that every one who can sing only gifted that can sing.
Two of the best singers in the business and also Natalie is the best vocal coach ever .and as everybody can see even pro singers are always working on their voices. Thx for that video I couldn’t get “enough” of it ! Please make another video together!
So want her to be my vocal coach!! She’s educational and funny at the same time.. definitely looks like she makes you feel comfortable Af! And still teaches you how to do the damn thing! 🙌🏼😁

wow beautiful Kat
I think you should sing "Don't forget me" again after this training.
She’s never sounded better. And that last belt at 2:50 of that video is incredible. I find it curious that Natalie told her to sing the third “me” as “meee” but Kat sang it as “meeehhhh”.
U are boss!!
To see such a accomplished vocalist still striving to get better is an inspiration
Selena Gomez can benefit from this 🤷♀️
Totally, totally agree! Love Katharine McPhee and so fun to see her as a work in progress!
You never would think such a great singer would need coaching, but it's her being a student that makes her great
Manda Spain Any artist should continue honing their craft, work on their technical ability, practice, and never should stop learning.
Always perfecting the craft! Love it!
NO ONE is born being a great singer. No one. Any more than Tiger Woods was born being the Greatest Golfer. They are made, and coached, not born.
Most professional singers are lifelong students who gets some kind of coaching
@@paddyOdaddyO65 Apart from Barbra Streisand; she wasn't coached/trained.
It‘s really cool to see someone like Katharine in a voice lesson. Like her voice is always so perfect it’s good to see her mess up a little. It just shows that no matter how good you are you need to keep training
When Katharine said "Can I just hear you sing" to Natalie at 3:20 I felt that.
same lol
Singing well is not as easy as people may think. It takes a lot of breath control, thinking of every note, confidence and so much more.
No its not, thats for sure! It takes lots of practice and the voice is really a "double reed" instrument with the vocal chords and folds becoming the instrument reed. and sinuses, and the chest cavity the resonators.

Damn, no wonder her voice has gotten so much stronger since American Idol. She actually knows how to belt now.
Dude. Natalie. This is extremely impressive vocal pedagogy. I’m not surprised but still shook.
"I should do that."
"You did."
mickko13 i giggled at it as i was passing this comment
“It’s so high for me”
*Sings three notes higher for funsies*
Damiana Cole more like she meant the note is so big, rather than so high. High notes are easier to reach, but big notes are harder to project.
Songsource it was a joke 🙄 I’ve been performing professionally since the age of five, friend. Lol
Damiana Cole singing since child doesn’t mean you know everything.
Obviously, i get the joke because she can hit higher than that, but you seem to confuse big note and high note.
Songsource ok
can Natalie Weiss just take my voice, crumble it up, and give me a better one, like just sayin lol
Me too. Meanwhile I'm just wandering around my house with my mediocre voice singing "Sing. Sing a song. Don't worry if it's not good enough for anyone else to hear, just sing.Sing a song"; whilst trying to convince myself that lyrics are true and Sesame Street didn't lie to me.
Natalie Weiss is a vocal beast & apparently an AMAZING coach as well!! And Katharine McPhee shows that even pros continue to refine their craft.
It’s crazy how she is on Broadway and is still perfecting the songs, I think she is a phenomenal performer which really helps her secure these parts, she is aware that she is not the best singer but she is always improving
I love watching Natalie teach. She really is a master of her craft.
“I should do that”
“You DID”
Jfksha
This is legit vocal lessons right here. The struggle is real for us vocalist, we always need to be reminded of the proper position
Unfortunately that is not proper technique. She is completely singing in chest voice and pushing the air forcefully past her vocal chords. Any classically trained soprano can sing that high and way higher by using head voice which sounds much prettier.

What season as Natalie.?
@@senorgato70 season 4, carrie underwood as the winner.
Coz it shows singing isn’t just about the technique. Natalie has the technique and range, but not the tone, soul or any unique character to her voice/style.

Singers at this level train all the time, just like professional athletes, yes?
@@calliessolowebseries8730 that makes perfect sense. Thanks for the analogy, cheers!

Kate Clarke Laura probably self-taught by listening. Good pitch and a musical upbringing can do that

Kat is amazingly humble and works so hard! Her talent and work ethic is so under appreciated by pop music listeners today.
Natalie Wiess is amazing!!!!!!!
If Natalie lives in a building, her neighbours must hate her!
billy smith she does lol
i would kill to be her neighbor
And her bedroom door isn’t even a real wall, it’s a temp wall sksksksk
Or LOVE her. It's like a free broadway concert all the time. I'd appreciate it!
They are not at home , when she gives her Lessons ;D
I love her focus on placement and keeping the weight off the cords. Making it more conversational is always a good choice.
The editing made me feel like I was riding a really fast train, in a very enjoyable way.
5:05 "SHOW OFF!!!" lol
So cool that Kat is an active student and always working on her skills.
I wish we could see more voice lessons!!!! It is a privilege to watch such an accomplished singer and teacher work together!!!! Love this ❤️
I really enjoyed it too. Never seen anything like it!
Kat is phenomenal but I also love the fact that we see she still struggles/learns better ways to project her voice even though she’s been successful on Broadway.
Her voice coach could have a record
She does :)
@@illbeyourwendy yes I know;)
Katherine's version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" from her American Idol days, still holds up as one of my favorite covers of that song.
“No that was too jarring” 😂
I study speech pathology and this lesson was actually very educational for me!
would love to see these two in a riff-off
“nEvEr EnOuGh GuYs” now rotating through my head...also they are both amazing omgggg💘
God this is the content i NEED
Katherine is so cute ! And I love that she’s still working on her craft.
This is such chaotic energy. I love it!
Just when you think the singer has perfect technique, BOOM, Natalie Weiss has something to teach.
Kat sang so well that song at the Garden live! so interesting to see the work put behind these tough songs!
Nataalllliiee yaaaaasss 😭😭😭 them working together is everything we needed. If there are any of you who don’t know who Natalie is, do yourselves a favor and look up her cover of She Used To Be Mine.

Release more coaching videos please! This is amazingly both entertaining and educational. Love it

What you’re doing is amazing. I’ve always sung in the washroom and privately in the shower, but through your videos I’ve had the confidence to sing live and it’s been amazing. I’m shook, seriously.
“I should do that”
.. “you did”
😂❤️
a coincidental song title . . . . "Never Enough" . . . . training. I don't know how anyone could remember all the stuff she's supposed to do
The more you practice the more natural it becomes. And taking the song in smaller chunks helps.
Tthom2 even after a lesson- you never remember everything lol 😂🤣 after awhile you just except that it won’t be perfect 👌🏾❤️
Anyone that is a singer needs to listen to this! Such good information for even the accomplished singer! Love seeing Kat continuously improve herself and her craft! I watched her performance of Never Enough before seeing this and now understand why she sounded sooooo good!
It's amazing how something that sounds so beautiful and easy takes so much practice and work. Good job Kat. Your teachers voice is also so very amazing. Nice.
Amazing how much work it is to get the right note..excellent work ...
Amazing!!! She never stops learning and that’s what makes her incredible!! Love your videos! ❤️
I could watch this for hours
OMG she rocked at Madison Square Garden, and she got to sing with Andrea Bocelli AMAZING
@9:50 lol I'd be doing that all the time listening to Katherine. Her voice and runs are so underrated.
I am 80 years old and I (love?) my voice coach of about 1 year. She has increased my upper note for full chest voice from D4 to at least C5 (haven't checked any higher). I have put my Ol Man River on youtube. I think it is at least as good as anyone else on youtube.
Upload videos! We wanna see!
Wow!! How are voice coaches not singers?! This lady is amazing! I’d love to get lessons from her!
LOVE THIS! And I went and found Natalie's "group round" on Idol. Of the clip still out on TH-cam, she hands-down had the best vocals of her group.
This video just reminded me of how important it is to vocalize. Thank you Kat ☺️
both are incredibly silly...and extraordinarily gifted...very entertaining ladies!
Loved this so much! I have started back to vocal coaching, though I have nothing I working towards. Seeing Katharine still working those vocal exercises gives me hope that there is always opportunity for improvement.
This video is such a joy to watch! Such incredible coaching and beautifully taken on board. Inspiration for my own performing and coaching work. Thank you for posting!
LOVED THIS! We need a studio recording of Never Enough!
This is FABULOUS!!!!!! Wow.......
This is such a valuable video for singers. Thank you to Kat and Natalie both.
Katherine one of our biggest GIFTs ever😭😭😭😭, jesus christ, one of the most unique voices ever, so underrated. In the other hand this is a great vocal teacher.😍
Both of them are wonderful vocalists 💖
Lots of people in the comments seem to not realize that even the most accomplished vocalists have continuous regular vocal coaching. Singing is a lot more difficult than many understand & requires constant maintenance to stay on top of your game.
Natalie's reaction when Katherine does the riff. LOL PRICELESS!
I love how she jumps around when she achieved what she was aiming for :D so cute haha.
Damn both talents! teach me senpais D:
All the greatest masters still have their teachers in all art forms. Love this.
Wow Natalie has an amazing voice would love to hear more. I love Katherine been a fan and follower for years love her voice we need to hear and see more of her
I mean check out Natalie's channel she has a lot of performances there
They both work so hard and are incredibly humble and funny. They just want to be better. Thanks for showing this and being vulnerable
Two of my favorite vocalist ever in one video! Amazing!!!!
You are fucking amazing Natalie Weiss
Two LEGENDS!
I loved watching this... I haven’t been able to afford lessons in a while... thanks for refreshing my mind 🙌🙌🙌😍
Your vocal teacher is surely damn good kat 👍
I really like this exercise!!! I'm using it to work point in my vocal line.
I am drooling over both of these amazing divas - wow wow wow wow. Learning so much
Who else caught themselves doing some of these warmups while hearing Kathrine? 😆😆😆
5:04
natalie: 😮😮😮
also nathalie: "show off"
I was just thinking of this the other day watching a Kat McPhee Waitress video. 'She should train with Natalie Weiss' and here it is omg!
Literally me too. Omg
Love seeing the process - what a great coach!! And I love Kat! Saw her in Waitress - amazing!
All that scream so good in ears. Never knew they need detail in every key to make a perfect in one package. All i know that every one who can sing only gifted that can sing.

OMG! Natalie Weiss I love you! You teach like me! YEAH! YOU ROCK! Katherine is amazing too!
Holler at you great voice coach!! Patiently repeating the same instruction without showing any frustration.
ONE THE MOST FASCINATING THINGS I HAVE EVER SEEN!!! IN AWE!!!
This is so helpful!! :) Natalie is a fantastic teacher and Katharine so relatable!
This is one of my favourite videos I’ve ever watched! Amazing!!
0:58 ok Celine diOOOOOOON
Omg I just got to the part where you talk about Celine 😂😂😂😂
So want her to be my vocal coach!! She’s educational and funny at the same time.. definitely looks like she makes you feel comfortable Af! And still teaches you how to do the damn thing! 🙌🏼😁
Gorgeous voice like her tutor Natalie's methods
I’m obsessed with Natalie... and Katharine! Please come to Nashville!
She is amazing
