the COOLEST thing about vocals is literally everyone sounds different. that's your biggest bet for finding that uniqueness your music may need. I don't like listening to my voice myself but I know other people might enjoy it. now I just need to learn how to get my voice out. thank you!
I’ve been teaching for a long time. I so dig your teaching style. When I’m a student, I know when I’m really paying attention to a teacher that there’s probably something I can take from that teacher’s work and incorporate into my own teaching. Liepe, you’re laid back, knowledgeable and (very important) really good at what you’re teaching. You’re even slowly teaching a DRUMMER to sing!
This is absolutely genius! One of my BIGGEST enemies with singing is always comparing myself to who I want to sound like but taking the emotional attachment out of the equation this way is mindblowingly original! So glad I found your videos! Now I just have to stop comparing myself 😆
I just found your channel, and this is the first video I've watched (I'm sure there will be many others), and I just wanted to let you know how blown away I am. When learning things on my own, or even from a professional teacher/instructor/coach...I always feel held back. I stumble into my breakthroughs, because people rarely teach in a way that really resonates with me. Things don't click as easily as they should, or seem to be in the wrong order. Like, 'wow, if you had given me this tidbit of advice ten lessons ago, it would have helped A LOT.' I've often thought 'man, if future me could just come back and teach current me, I could learn SO FAST.' ...you give me that vibe, man. Except you seem really nice, whereas I assume future me would still be kind of a dick. It only took five minutes of your video for me to just kinda sit here, speechless, and realize 'holy shit there is nothing holding me back from writing music right now. I didn't know I already had the tools...' Anyway, don't know if you read all your comments, but here's to hoping you see this. People deserve to know when someone is offering them the highest praise...hell, I know hearing such things would brighten my day up a bit! If you keep teaching, I'll keep watching.
Yes, I too have had a couple of vocal coaches, and tried to teach myself to sing. I took the plunge and joined Chris in his Discover Your Voice course. That is even better than the TH-cam video's that you know are great.
You make everything so easy to understand, gave up on so many other coaches videos because they were either dull, too technical or just didn't make sense to me. You are a genius
This was revolutionary to me as a songwriter. I've written poetry for years and never understood how to turn them into songs. Tonight when I get home I'm dragging out the acoustic guitar.
For me as a foreigner singing in English it’s hard to find a natural singing voice when having to constantly worry about how to pronounce certain syllable combinations and diphthongs, taking into consideration that different singers grew up in different regions and are having their own ways on how to pronounce those things. So all I can do is to double my awareness when listening on how my favorite singers solve those tasks, compare their solutions and decide for myself what I want to sound like. It kind of feels like being in a dark room catching fireflies until you get enough to start seeing a path, still not knowing if you are walking in the right direction. But as soon as you start making conscious decisions on how to handle certain situations when singing (e.g. what kind of vowel sound to accentuate for certain words where there are multiple ones to choose from, e.g. „run“) you get more confident, and that confidence is what makes you more relaxed so you can focus on emotional delivery, adding effects and so on. When talking about vowels, I mean the ones we actually hear, not read. Check IPA vowel chart for a start, then look on the international way of spelling words. Anyway, thanks for your fresh approach to singing, more like it is supposed to be when you are a little,child and just goofing around with what you have and who you are. No intent, just enjoying the moment. That’s why kids learn quicker, they don’t have any preconceptions about how things „should be“, they just do what feels natural
"lower abdominal muscles primarily..." My diaphragm resides mid to upper! Aside from that Chris, I sing from my heart and it knows what muscles to use! Bytheway, I agree with the comment below :-) Hallelujah man Hallelujah
Thank you! This is how to stick your composing with the voice! Sometimes people need to break free from their instruments or voice applicatures/patterns/cliches, but this is the cure for an opposite problem: compose organic and singable parts instead of smth abstract and almost impossible to perform.
I’ve discovered through that by emulating my favorite singers, I’ve found that my voice is a mid range voice I don’t know if that makes sense Chris. Elvis, Rickey Nelson , Sam Cooke, Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent, Marty Robbins, just to name a few..
This is true love to the art of singing, all your channel is. Thank you for all the advices you give us, its very very helpful for me. For all the singers out there, keep working, love your voices, have a lot of fun, and dont be discouraged comparing yourself with your idols, you are you, they are them. Take care of compare your unplugged performances with profesional mixes to!!
Tried this last night, was really enlightening. Was kind of surprised at my tone, but it made sense when I think of the singer/song I've been more comfortable with. And the ones not so much. LOL
If you could, I’d love to see a video for getting a really soft and pretty mixed voice. Kind of like a tenor would sound when hitting an F, since that’s the note I’m going for. I can hit it with mixed, but can’t find the right power and amplification to make it match my chest’s power as well as brightness.
8:10 to guitar riff reminds me off sunshower by Chris Cornell. Pretty sure those are the exact chords too lol. But this does look fun, cant wait to try it
Great way to write a song! This method really works if you are stuck writing lyrics. I’ve tried it and it gives a fresh perspective. The title of this is obvious - “10%” thanks for the inspiration brother.
As a man who took the advice of singing in your own voice with the utmost offense I come here to say with pride I found my own voice I ever so badly wanted to sound like Paul McCartney I convinced myself he sounded like me to find out I don't but it doesn't break my heat anymore I feel as though have enough of his inspiration he would feel where I am coming from if he ever heard me and that is where you truly want to be musically I will never forget the guy who finally made me come to terms with my true voice.
You're videos are so helpful as someone's who dyslexic have always struggled taking in information can only take it I'm with visual learning but you're videos are the exception the way u explain stuff it very well explained but not overcomplicated thank you
The added benefit of doing it the way you are doing is that every now and again, you will accidentally come up with a really catchy jingle, and might just be able to sell it to someone
Chris, you deserve WAY more love and attention than you receive my dude. Especially considering you're more or less giving noobs like ourselves open access to lessons we'd have to fork over an arm and a leg for normally. My rockstar campaign thanks you. 🤘🤘
Just thanks a lot for another so much helpful video again !! I’ve been following u for a long time, I’ve never been disappointed and I’ve improved my singing skills !!! I’m a massive fan of singers like Matt Bellamy, Thom Yorke, Jeff Buckley, Freddie Mercury, voices with a high and wide range, hard to hit for I , having a low range. I tried, straining on my voice and imitating these singers at the same pitch : honestly I succeeded, but it wasn’t me and I completely screwed my voice up for the 3 next days. But that video is one of those which give me confidence to sing with my own voice, my proper range and songwriting so much more easily.
@@chrisliepe , you know reading my post. It almost comes off as sarcasm. Let me just say that the way you present your teachings of voice and music is unbelievably clear and concise. It all makes perfect sense and is understandable.
That’s how I wrote every song I have made lol even screaming I do a whispered unlclean to work out the flow then find the words then try to think of what the song will be about
I really do understand what you said Chris about trying to sound like a favorite singer,, only to be discouraged. I love Emulating Elvis , unfortunately the Songs I write aren’t even close to sounding a like how Elvis would sing it but through this journey I’ve learned to creat my own voice although I still prefer trying to sound like Elvis..
I feel like why didn’t I found this guy before!! He’s too good❤️ I’ve watched alot of his videos he’s the best in what he’s doing!!❤️ I’m actually singing with my guitar these days and it really helped!!❤️❤️ much love to you😊
This is PURE GOLD. I have to find my own voice at first :D Is there a tutorial about those B,F pitches? I really have no idea about music and rhythm,but I really want to learn it,to know about them more.
I thought you had to be born good at singing but when i adopted the mindset that i could get better i did. I revisited some voice recordings and the improvement was amazing
The best song i did sound like myself was use somebody from kings of leon because i found an acoustic karaoke version of it and i didnt even remember the note at first and then by singing it the notes began to came back but still i didnt remembered the voice or intonation of the singer so i just let go on the note i remembered and its really diffrent then the real version when i listened to it after lol
Hey mate, Just to tell you that you are a great person. Your tips are so amazing, you have a real talent in music and a gift for explaining it. Ive watched a lot of your videos. And your tips for singing (and screaming) are HUGE. I spend a lot of time to find someone who can help me with the vocal part of my personnal project (Kind of screamo rap/rock alternative hardcore beatdown with french lyrics as Noir Desir) And the ive found you. I can't find the words and i dont know if i'm understandable but thank you. Thank you so much Hope you'll read this A french guy
Ha, I basically just wrote the same reply to this vid. This is the first time I've found someone doing vocal instruction or musical theory videos that really make sense to me. That last part is amazing, too- while this is totally not a video on theory, I still feel like he helped make some simple connections that I had missed before (likely because theory videos over-explain things to death).
I was singing "get 10 percent" like all day today lol.. you should call that concrete company and have them watch this video lol.. very cool brother.. love your content.
Always a fan, something important comes to mind. It's obvious but maybe you could remind novice viewers about it more - warming up. I also sing, have recorded lots, also inspired by the same singers you are. I can't hardly sign two notes if I don't do a good 45 minute warm up...90 minutes even better. You're an amazing teacher with a really cool approach but novices need to know that hard rock signing above the first male passagio just does't happen reliably with a rigorous warm up. Chris Cornel, Axel Rose, guys like these are known to have warmed up 1-2 hours before doing anything important. Just mention it more, is all I'm suggesting. And yeah...Save 10% :)
" Interesting advices, not copying voices.. lets take the first ad that I find.." "here is it ! " *Any new concrete installation project !* " oh damn "
The tools you provide are useless when I leave the video and don't apply what you are teaching me. I watch and listen in order to learn, I'm applying this to my practice tonight. Thanks Chris.
This is guy is seriously the best vocal/ music coach online.
I agree
Yes, he is !!!
Yes he is like the scientist because he is so experimental
All I can say is he's the only one I watch
easily 👊🏽
Came for the music, left saving 10%
nice!
😂😂😂😂
"Comparison is the thief of joy"
-Teddy Roosevelt
Exactly love the quote probably going to save that.
@@gageclark2390 I still have to know, after one year... did you save it?
the COOLEST thing about vocals is literally everyone sounds different. that's your biggest bet for finding that uniqueness your music may need. I don't like listening to my voice myself but I know other people might enjoy it. now I just need to learn how to get my voice out. thank you!
Yes... It is a gift!
So true !
Really cool. I hope that concrete company hires you to do their jingle.
haha, that would be funny!
I thought the same thing!!
That concrete song is literally better than 90% of the stuff on the radio.
Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia
I think so too,much better than the usual chap about chocolate bars or underarm deodorant.
Concrete installation advertisements have never been so epic... You could totally be a jingle writer on the side!
haha... I AM a jingle writer!!
@@chrisliepe Aah it all makes sense now. I was thinking you made it look so easy!
Sponsored by concrete installation
10/10 Would jam to the "Save 10%" EP
I wanna buy that concrete right now. You convinced to me. 😆
Thanks for that class!
I’ve been teaching for a long time. I so dig your teaching style. When I’m a student, I know when I’m really paying attention to a teacher that there’s probably something I can take from that teacher’s work and incorporate into my own teaching. Liepe, you’re laid back, knowledgeable and (very important) really good at what you’re teaching. You’re even slowly teaching a DRUMMER to sing!
Thanks for this comment and encouragement! I'm glad my teaching has helped you!
This is absolutely genius! One of my BIGGEST enemies with singing is always comparing myself to who I want to sound like but taking the emotional attachment out of the equation this way is mindblowingly original! So glad I found your videos! Now I just have to stop comparing myself 😆
I just found your channel, and this is the first video I've watched (I'm sure there will be many others), and I just wanted to let you know how blown away I am. When learning things on my own, or even from a professional teacher/instructor/coach...I always feel held back.

Like, 'wow, if you had given me this tidbit of advice ten lessons ago, it would have helped A LOT.' I've often thought 'man, if future me could just come back and teach current me, I could learn SO FAST.'
...you give me that vibe, man. Except you seem really nice, whereas I assume future me would still be kind of a dick.
It only took five minutes of your video for me to just kinda sit here, speechless, and realize 'holy shit there is nothing holding me back from writing music right now. I didn't know I already had the tools...'
Anyway, don't know if you read all your comments, but here's to hoping you see this. People deserve to know when someone is offering them the highest praise...hell, I know hearing such things would brighten my day up a bit! If you keep teaching, I'll keep watching.
This did brighten my day!! Exactly the kind of vibe I hope for with every video I do. Thank you!

Chris, you are a great and RELEVANT teacher. Not afraid to be silly to get the job done. Childlike fun putting in man’s work.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you're resonating with the approach!

I thought you had to be born good at singing but when i adopted the mindset that i could get better i did. I revisited some voice recordings and the improvement was amazing
This was actually the best advice i've learned, and all by stumbling on your video by accident.
Terrific mentoring!
Again ,you have hit the mark.F*** expectations just creatively do what is needed.
Thank you so much 🙏🏽 This is thee best advice ever!!!
