    So happy to see you look at to Yebba again! I loved her Tiny Desk performance (and just her in general). I noticed the little “dirtiness” in her voice and was worried it might indicate damage (I know she smokes) so I’m relieved to hear you say it isn’t that. Her voice is so beautiful.

    Okay all the way through it now-this was super fun. I love having Vanessa’s perspective on things. Even when y’all are saying the same thing overall, you both describe and illustrate it differently, so I get to understand in a more nuanced way.

    Yebba is such an agile singer man. It’s crazy how people like her have that ability in the first place, I feel like most people only learn that from imitating other singers who do it first. It’s what I’ve heard from similarly talented artists in interviews or other things, but there’s usually a recurring theme of each one of them saying that they imitated their favorite singers runs until they could do it themselves at a young age. I’ve wondered if trying to accomplish runs at an early age also makes a persons “go to” singing coordination more agile in the process. I sure have heard a lot of singers with a lot of different types of voices be KILLER at riffing, no matter the voice type.

    Pretty sure the “cain’t” vowel modification is due more to where she’s from and less to making it more singable. I’m from a few hours away from where she’s from and I hear that all the time. Lol.

    At the beginning those are accented off beats rather than triplets. Those hits are falling in the second eighth note of each beat. It think they feel triplet-ish just because of how laid back they are.

    Hi! Loved the video, however when you're referring to "triplets" at 1:35, you're actually talking about syncopation haha. The examples you provided were triplets but what YEBBA is actually singing is not an example of that!

    @adamdecoder1 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    The words "love all over" aren't in triplets. It's just syncopated, meaning the words/notes land on off-beats. It can sort of sound like a triplet if you don't time it out, but it's def not the same thing.

    There is definitely a fine, sometimes INDISTINGUISHABLE, line between "forward placement" and nasality. Because of this, I try to avoid thinking about placement if at all possible and just set things up with the breath and the vowel.

    • @SamJohnsonVoice
      @SamJohnsonVoice  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah absolutely. Either thinking the tone you want or the vowel architecture are my favorite focal points to find "forward placement"
