Evanescence - Bring Me To Life - Amy Lee - ISOLATED VOCALS - Analysis and Tutorial
Amy Lee is just an all-around great musician and in “Bring Me To Life” she also demonstrates what a great songwriter she is.
Her use of really interesting note choices and unusual harmonies was untypical for that time and she really knew how to take listeners on an emotional rollercoaster with her major to minor key changes.
What other artists can you think of that were also great at doing that? Let me know in the comments!
As we take a look at Amy’s isolated vocals I’ll explain how she raises her larynx at some points for effect and how she uses dynamic range and volume to create that melodramatic sound.

#AmyLee #IsolatedVocals #BringMeToLife
i loved the whole album. her voice is what made it special.
For sure! Thanks for the visit.
Amy could sing a damn Betty Crocker recipe and it would sound amazing! Hands down the best vocalist in music!!!
She has the best female voice, not technically. I love that she uses the near operatic tone but not sounds like Tarja. It's so haunting and beautiful
Beautiful!
Such a beautiful voice, no auto tune, just pure talent.
Indeed!
@maong kala
Yeah, he's awesome
@@jacobhayes7552 yes ken is Awesome, incredible but jacob i mean her voice 🙂
You can listen to more than a few of her songs. Amy does auto tune. As Amy says she doesn't change her hitting the notes. But how the notes sound. A perfect example of that is Lose Control. She gives her voice a eerie sound I guess you could say. That's using auto tuning the way it should be used. It should never be used to hit a note. If you can't hit the note then don't sing it. If you a writer change it to a note you can hit.
I am so surprised and impressed you picked up on the Celtic folk influences in just her vocals, holy shit. I remember her saying in an interview many years ago that in her home growing up her family would listen to and play a lot of Celtic folk music together. Amazing video! Fun facts about her influences: She's spoken about being obsessed with 90's grunge, particularly females. She was the choir president at high school and even arranged an original piece for their graduation called Listen To The Rain. She decided to learn the piano at age 11 after watching the film Armadeus and wanted to compose classical music, and later score films. She's also a fan of Danny Elfman and a megafan of Bjork so her references are all over the place. She's a real musician through and through! No wonder they were able to create something so unique and special
I never knew all this info about Amy Lee and I have been a huge fan of all things Evanescence since 10th grade high school in 2000. I have literally all their discography (yes, even the 'Hello'' home video) and for the life of me have tried to match her vocals in my male singing voice, but my register may just be too damn low. Thank you for sharing this gem of information, Amy Lee truly is someone unique and special in the rock & roll/ gothic rock world!
I love this so much.. more people should put this kind of stuff in the comments, she is so underrated
Her voice is so haunting, it’s almost like she enchants you and before you know it the songs ends and you want to listen again 🖤
Thanks for the visit!
This song has so much nostalgia for me, I'm really excited to hear you break this down
Hope you enjoy it!
@@kentamplin No joke, I was in the middle of doing a personal cover of this song XD Your timing is amazing my friend
She inspired me to start singing when I was a teen but I think it got me stuck in chest voice for years and I forced-simulated her tone and it would blow me out with vocal fatigue. Now im trying to relearn singing from the ground up and learning a lot from Ken’s videos!
the song was already good, and her vocals were already amazing, but the reworked version without the rap in it , which was much more orchestral, from the 2017 Synthesis album was really something else. Such a wonderful and powerful operatic voice on this girl
Indeed!
I’ve been working on an Amy Lee singing impression ever since my high school choir teacher and best friends pointed out that my singing sounded similar to hers. I had originally looked up to her as a talented and accomplished musician and singer and tried to apply some of her singing technique to my own singing. And learning from her technique made me a stronger singer.
The real funny thing is that I’ve auditioned for an a capella group in high school, which was run by my choir teacher. I wasn’t even trying to imitate Amy Lee or had sung an Evanescence song for my audition, but my choir teacher pointed out to me that my voice sounded similar to hers. So here I am, a year later, still a big fan of Amy Lee and my best friends jokingly call me the “discount Amy Lee”.
This video actually really helped me improve my high note vocal register. I absolutely love Evanescence (since H.S. 2003) and have been trying to duet with her songs on my own forever. This is the only lesson series where I could finally learn how to match her vocals and sing along with her, in a sense. Thank you so much for your amazing and insightful lessons, Ken!
I've adored Amy Lee for all of the obvious reasons, but one not-so-obvious thing I LOVE about her skills is her use of breath. She is PHENOMENAL at making a simple inhale or exhale feel so significant.
Thanks for the visit!
Ken: I have been watching your videos for what seems like forever, but what I like about you is that you always teach me new things. The section about the orchestral music being in minor then going into major key was eye-opening. I am a music soundtrack lover, and as soon as you mentioned that, it really hit home with me. Thanks for what you do and keep up the great work. 😎
I appreciate that, Shawn!
Amy Lee is one of my favorite female artists, cool to see you break it down, made me appreciate her talent more. You nailed the notes too man, clearly you know what you’re talkin about
Thanks for listening! Rock on!
I listened to this album at least 1000 times... just because of Amy
Awesome!
This song was actually in a movie. In Daredevil if im not wrong.
I think you're right.
In an interview Amy said she DISLIKED the added male vocal. Felt the label forced them to do it. Interesting.
Interesting.
That doesn't surprise me, they don't play it live that way anymore.
This is so beautiful, and I totally hear the Celtic/Irish sound in her voice and arrangement...there's a great singer from Ireland named Mary Black... beautiful voice too and I think you'll probably enjoy her voice!
Thank you, Raven!
Oh look...it's Amy...gotta watch it. Then I'm blown away by the quality of the ANALYSIS beyond the quality of Amy's unreal voice! You're the real deal Ken. Excellent video once again.
I appreciate that, Sculpin74!
Can't sing worth a link, but find these deep dives fascinating! Really appreciate your historical references to grunge, 60s music, etc.
I think Amy proves you can be successful in the rock genre while being a fairly clean female vocalist doing her own thing!
Well said Andy!
sharon den adel from within temptation also proves this
Tarja/Floor agree.
Love this song
It's a good one!
I really appreciate you describing what's happening in the music. I'm not really a song writer, more of a vocalist with a pianist background but I'm trying to learn more about song writing so analysis of songs is super helpful!
Best analysis I've ever seen!
Amy Lee is so talented, beautiful voice that Rocks!!
Indeed!
saw her live here in Costa Rica a few years ago. Incredible.
😀👍
Thank you for this video. You're practically confirming what I've been feeling anytime I sing this masterpiece.
Wonderful!
Love her, been a fan since I was about 15. I always loved her angelic voice and the drama, so hauntingly beautiful
Couldn't agree more, Jessica!
My favourite female vocalist.
Rock on! 😊
So amazing Ken, once again you have so many great points that i would have never thought of myself. And so awesome to learn, that Amy is a true artist, who does´nt feel the need to use autotune in her music. :)
So glad you enjoyed it, Lasse!
You're the best Ken. Thank you.
🖤She is such a unique and kind soul. Absolutely love her!
You are right about going from major back to minor. Using the major as a relief and a setup to make the minor hit twice as hard. That heavy part after the bridge where the male voice alternates with Amy gave me goosebumps all over. Powerful stuff! I always learn something new when I watch your videos. It's like having the greatest professor at the greatest music school in the world!
Rock on!
Amazing video! I love evanescence ❤
I'm shook that you mentioned Nightwish since I was going to mention that an isolated vocals video of one of their singers would be amazing! Great video as always!
Awesome!
With her musical education and writing skills, I'd love to hear what she'd do with a string quartet.
Would be gorgeous!
There's different ways she kinda has done this. She has singed with Lindsey Stirling and a whole orchestra behind her. Look for their quarantine version of "Wasted On You" it's Lindsey ft Amy. Then their live cover Young and Beautiful from Lana del Rey they did in 2018 works that way too..... Evanescence Synthesis tour has a My Immortal string version, songs like Lacrymosa, Never go Back and End of The Dream are justa bout her vocals and tons of strings with her live. Go check it out. Also her acoustic performances with cello signing Lithium and Good Enough from 2007 are a must watch if you like strings and her vocals. And last but not least her solo work with Dave Eggar, "Find a way" is a song to react aswell
Or an orchestra.
The synthesis live stuff is pretty close to that, end of the dream is an amazing performance..its here on youtube.
Her songs are so emotional. I love her.
She's beautiful!
Amy lee is such a huge influence on female singers - exceptional tone , control and power ❤️👍🏼👊👊
Absolutely!
Amy Lee's voice is untouchable, and she will forever be the queen of rock.
But now that you've done a video on her (thank you for it!), you have to do Hayley Williams from Paramore! 🙂
Wow, amazing review.. i love this isolated series from you Ken... keep on going
Glad you enjoy the vids.
Be still my beating heart you mentioned Nightwish, one of my favorite bands. I've been telling people for years how similar evenescence and nightwish are. Awesome video man!
Thanks for listening!
Except for the word "darling" in the bridge, I've always heard the lyrics as a prayer to God to "bring me back to life.....save me from the nothing I've become". That's how the song speaks to me anyway. Great analysis Ken. Love it.
Glad you enjoyed it, Ken!
Still listens a lot to this song and My immortal, beautiful songs. Great video as always! :)
Glad you enjoy it!
U crack me up Ken. Amazing singing melodies in this song she's very talented
She is indeed, Tom!
Thank you for introducing me to this singer. I love her style and this awesome song. She is so talented. I love Celtic music and that's exactly how you explained it. So cool.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@kentamplin I did buy your course. I love it. I had Covid and find I still can't get to the higher notes I use to hit. Stay safe and well💕🙏
@@kimsusnik4467 Keep at it. 😀👍
Great song analysis Ken! One of my favorite songs by Amy!!
Have a Wonderful day :)
Thanks for stopping by Jenny!
Ken, you have a great voice. I'm really enamored with Amy Lee's beautiful voice, and you explained your observations in an informative professional manner. Thank you. 👏
Thanks for the listen, rock on!
The best vocal information on You Tube
Thank you, John!
OMG thank you for explaining that locked larynx part! I think that’s what made me feel stuck in a less flexible voice for a long time. I was raising my larynx too much too often and not as occasionally as she does
Wow! Unique, indeed! I would never have spotted the similarity with Sade, but it's obviously there... What a piece!
Indeed!
Subscription. I like the historic discourse, techniques description (and Ken himself).
First off love Amy Lee she is a fantastic singer love her tones great vocals love the song bring me to life I first heard the song from daredevil Ken the Ben Affleck daredevil movie love the song ever since such a great song she is definitely has a gothic vibe to her love her soft sounding vocals starting out on the song but the song rocks she has a breathy sound starting out always thought she was a beautiful woman with a awesome voice always enjoyed her Ken she rocks big time ken👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
She sure does!
I agree Ken she rocks
I love this analysis... you really hear what she she trying to convey
>Goth
I would absolutely love to hear Ken Tamplin covering the likes of Bauhaus or Sisters of Mercy; my life and vocal journey would likely be complete at that point. I am absolutely in the range of most Goth rock/metal singers and Ken Tamplin covering literally anything Gothic would just be icing on the cake for me.
Thank you Mr. Tamplin for this awesome content. I grew up listening to a lot of these songs. It's cool to see the artistry behind a lot of the songs.
My pleasure!
Great song. Unlike some of the other songs you have analyzed, the singing seems very solid on this one. She's a pro for sure.
Thanks for listening!
This is one of my favorite songs of all time and it's featured in one of my favorite channel as well.😍
Rock on!
the harmonies remind me of gregorian chants. I LOVE Amy Lee, and it's so interesting to hear and watch you break the song down.
👍😊
Hi Ken, as a singer I was wondering if you could please point out when she sings in her chest voice, and when she sings in her head voice? I struggle to identify when she flips through her register. I feel like 80% of her stuff she is singing in head voice and falsetto. I love how she sings. 😊
Great suggestion!
Ironically you mentioned a lot of her inspirations: Danny elfman or Nine Inch Nails. She always wanted to do scores and in between Evanescence S albums she did a couple of film scores and got awards even.
I d recommend you to react to their recent stuff. The Bitter Truth is the current album they released this year and it’s the first they do as an indie band. It d be great to see the growth as a band.
If you go for the intro you ll be mind blowed by the comeback they make. The songs are: “Artifact/the turn + broken pieces shine”.
Great reaction!
Ken, you are truly a MASTER at your craft! Very impressive, keep it coming please!
Thanks, will do!
She's one of my favorite female rock singer. Awesome 👌
She's a good one!
Such an interesting work! I love her artistry and ability. Thoroughly enjoyed the analysis. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
As a general rule of thumb I don't tend to listen to many female artists, not meaning to be sexist, as I just like the timbre or a male rock voice. However; when I first heard Amy Lee I was blown away by how powerful her classical voice mixes with heavy grungy guitars.
It's a nice juxtaposition.
I love this song. The only part I can sing is the guy part. My daughter sings Amy perfectly
You've got the duet covered! Rock on!
I love Evenesence. Amy Lee is an awesome singer. Bring me to life is my favorite song by them.
Funny... I was just thinking “Ken could do Amy Lee “ ... and you did! Thank you for this Ken!
“
You bet!
Another Master class! TOTALLY shared on FB! You cover SO MUCH MORE than the vocals here!
Wow, thank you!
She held the note for 10 seconds. Ken held it for 8 seconds. Still amazing. There is an 8-second note in the song "I'll" Be by Edwin McCain that I love singing.
Rock on!
You got unique vocal tamplin.
Thanks!
Such an amazing voice
I agree!
As I love it, I take my coffee (when the night is with good wine) with a tasty bread with cheese and ham and watch your videos, it has become an addiction to do this with each video, thanks for this magic of each day, Ken!
*Forgive my english, I'm from Brazil 😛
Sounds great!
She's the only voice i personally find very haunting and eerie.
aaaaa you have to interview Amy please it'd be great!
Saw them once when this album came out in SYD Aus, they were good. And Amy Lee sure is something special! Cheers!
Cheers!
You definitely know your music
Great video
I am singer and it was so interesting
Greetings from Greece
Glad you enjoyed it!
My Immortal was my fave
Beautiful song!
Love her music awesome voice
Thanks for doing this one Ken! Love her voice so much. I could literally listen to her sing all day. She has such a beautiful voice, but also a great pianist, songwriter and lyricist. She's another one that grew up singing in choir and you can definitely tell. This song was actually inspired by her longtime friend Josh who is now her husband. Also, please don't take this as nitpicking but i would have loved to hear Breathe No More. I'm not sure if you're familiar with that one. It is a B side but it is this beautiful piano ballad, Even In Death would be another great choice too.
Thanks for listening!
Great review, thanks Ken! This song brought some good memories, going to listen to more Evanescence today :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another great video Ken!
Thank you!
I thought her name was Evanescence. Learned something new today. Thanks!
Cool!
Interesting connection with linkin parks numb, but now i can’t unhear it 😅. Respect the heck out of you man, your like an encyclopedia!
Any Lee was very unique. I loved the way she set herself apart from everyone else.
😀👍
Folks didn't have $ for lessons when my music teacher in san leandro went nuts and asked them to get me in singing lessons. you are on my bucket list. sending
I'll be here when you're ready!
Very good video Ken. Extraordinarily talented and unique vocalist Amy is. Speaking of operatic singing, would you ever consider analyzing Luciano Pavorotti in La Donna E Mobile?
It is certainly possible, Sean!
Beautiful voice!
Thanks for listening!
Their music "all that i'm living for" has a lot of that celtic sound you talk about, in my opinion
😀👍
Hi Ken, I live in England and have only just discovered you and your chanel and i love it. You seem like such a nice guy. Thank you
Thank you, Linda!
Amy Lee's sound is so melancholic. Minor 7ths & 9ths are her signatures... I love working with them for the one reason: They make the resolution back to the home chord smoother. Yup, I can definitely hear the raised larynx on the word (lead) the Cmaj7 at the fist verse. Then again when she holds that long word life also Cmaj7 at the end... so awesome... I wondered what the song would sound in a little less darker tonality like the E Dorian Mode? In this case we would have a C# (half diminished) a raised sixth degree instead of a C natural... Not much we have to do since the song is in minor key already... Just an opinion!!!!
There's nobody better than Amy Lee I love her
I don't sing, but I watch your videos because I feel like you're the Alton Brown of singing. I always learn so much! Can you please do Dolores O'Riordan from The Cranberries!!
Thanks for the suggestion.
Love this performance.
Rock on! 👍
Loved this video❤
So glad!
Excellent choice Ken! Emotional performance on the gold medal. Academies 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇👍🌎👍Фирмач!
Thank you!
I would love to hear your opinion about Bono from u2 or Jared Leto from 30 stm
Thanks for the suggestion.
I've never clicked the Like button so fast

Fun fact; Amy Lee never wanted to duet with a male vocalist on 'Bring Me to Life' as she was forced to do so by the record company because they thought it would improve the band's image.
As such, there is an alternative version with only Amy Lee on vocals. And yes, of course I have that version of this song as well.
Please do more Amy Lee. She has some very beautiful songs. Like My Immortal and Lithium.
😀👍
I could listen to this without the band all day long!
Really beautiful.
Amazing Singer!
Agreed!
