This "I remember when I lost my mind" singing riff trend has been big for the last few weeks. Vocal coach Tristan Paredes breaks down how its done! Subscribe to me for more tips!
I think he was just being sassy about starbucks having a tall size. The notes are all just minor pentatonic and that top note is the tonic, which the run also starts on.
What makes her run sound so unique is that she’s changing registers halfway through the run. She flips to head voice for the last 3 notes. She flips so hard that it almost sounds like a yodel. She also changes vowel sounds from ahhh to eeee shortly before flipping to head voice. You can really hear the scoop from ahhh to eeee when he slows her down. Those details are why this run sounds more complex than it is.
I’m a supervisor at Starbucks and literally just got home like an hour and a half ago and thought I was going crazy/overworked when he started talking about ventis and grandes and talls 🤠 it’s fine I’m fine
I order small, medium and large at Starbucks becauae a corperation being clinically ill with their marketing strategies to be cute doesn't mean I am going to change my way of speaking for it. It's a large in 20,000 locations from mom and pop tamale bakery to burger king. Small, medium large. Grande means large but to them it's not. The word literally means big and large.
What makes hers so impressive is the fact that it is a full octave above his illustration. If you learn it it can be flipped up but it’s much more difficult to keep the same agility when all the resonance is in the head voice that high
I think that may depend on voice type and range. I have a lot more agility in my upper register versus my lower register, and it’s much more effortless for me. Only gets tough when I’m beyond my healthiest top note. Fast runs on top, slow chungus walks on the bottom lol
@@LamHoang-dp6ui : You’re way to loud & wrong, you idiot! LMMFAO 😂 It’s definitely much easier to do w/ chest voice. Also, it could depend on the person, but for most it’s easier w/ the chest. What an idiotic comment. Please don’t comment under 💩 you CLEARLY don’t know about.
I mean… she’s a woman, naturally her voice is higher Plus in head voice is easier to move since your vocal folds are not as compressed as they are in chest voice
she also uses a vocal technique in switching between notes, i think it's side yodeling because she sings in a chest to head to falsetto really quick and it's clean asf
Exactly! She switches from chest to head voice halfway through the run. She switches so abruptly that it sounds like a yodel. She also changes the vowel sound from ahhhhh to eeeeee shortly before she flips to head voice.
If you want to think of it in terms of notes on a piano, it’s just a c minor pentatonic scale starting on G (notes g, b flat, c, e flat, f, g), if you’re using a piano to get a better sense of the notes in the run.
Tristan, You are so good! Your voice is incredible and you’re a great teacher as well! I wish I could feel comfortable signing. My mother (who is a singer) told me when I was 7 that I was a horrible singer and tone deaf. Then she would tell everyone we knew, right in front of me, even still to this day; even though she has not heard me sing since I was 7. It’s still sad & embarrassing. I’m just a wounded 7 year old child again, each time she does it. I have been so self conscious and afraid to sing out loud for almost 50 years. So I only sing when no one can hear me. I’m going to try this riff again. I enjoyed trying it, so much. Only when no ones home of course . Shh🤭🤫🤐
Finally someone who knows what he’s talking about. One thing to add is that the trend is that singing means screaming and pushing your voice when the thing is that more you push and less you have the chance to get on the high notes. Among other things, there is a risk of ruining the vocal cords because nodules are generated in the long run. Finalmente qualcuno che sa di ciò che sta parlando. Una cosa da aggiungere è che sta passando la moda che cantare significa urlare e spingere la voce quando più si spinge e meno si ha la possibilità di salire sulle note alte. Fra l’altro si rischia di rovinare le corde vocali perché si generano a lungo andare dei noduli.
As someone who’s in choir and taking singing lessons, I just explained to my sister how to be better at runs. You just take it note by note and go faster, you’ll soon be singing rolling in the deep better. If more people knew how to sing they would be better but that’s just me.
It also helps to modify the vowel on the way up like she does!! She goes from an “i” sound to more of an “ee,” I think helping to reach a stronger head voice :D
Its not the notes tho, notes in most runs is just pentatonics, but it's the tone, the color and technics plus reverb of the room that makes it sound impressive
Well, if you don’t have the equivalent starbucks sizes to every interval, it would get counterproductive really fast. There are 12 semitones whose distance can be expressed as intervals, and probably not 12 starbucks sizes, which means either imprecise or incomplete applicability of that kind of system; you would either have to refer to multiple intervals as one starbucks size, which would lead to a lot of confusion, or have intervals that could not be described with that system.
That was helpful. Will I be able to do it, 100% no. But it was helpful. I was classically trained, and my weak spot has always been runs. I can see it written out, but I can't sing it. Well, I can sing it. It just doesn't sound like a run. I will still give it an effort.
Well maybe you sung the wrong note but if you didn’t and it was right, that last note is there to resolve the one before it. Try ending the run on the one before it and it doesn’t sound good
I work at starbucks. We have a size even smaller for hot drinks called a short. It’s literally a sip. The cup is meant for just plain espresso but you can order short lattes??
I'll attempt to practice this once everyone is out of the house
The most relatable comment ever lmao
omg same though 😂
Sameeeeee
Bro felt
Fr💀
Love how he’s so sassy about her using that last note
I think he was just being sassy about starbucks having a tall size. The notes are all just minor pentatonic and that top note is the tonic, which the run also starts on.
@@zachlimb2871 right, starts on g3...ends on g4 🙂
@@ojoyful1 As a tenor sax player, love me some G minor pentatonic
Yeah the sass was in regard to no one using a tall cup at Starbucks “I do, btw”

Ah yes! Exactly!! The register changes and vowel modification is crucial and so awesome!!
And she yells "woah" after
@@bobwilkinsonguitar6142 lol exactly!!!
I’m a supervisor at Starbucks and literally just got home like an hour and a half ago and thought I was going crazy/overworked when he started talking about ventis and grandes and talls 🤠 it’s fine I’m fine
I used to dream in drinks.. I feel your pain lmaooo
Thank you for all you do

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
venti and grande are italian words and are both plural so they dont need the s, also venti it means 20 and grande it means big

Actually it's easier to do the riffs in your head voice since the muscles are more flexible lol. Doing runs and riffs in chest voice is wayy harder

THIS. is actually why this run is impressive. Doing it in an octave lower is not that hard.
Bro really sang a whole traditional Chinese song
yes
Oh thank god it’s you I thought I was seeing that video for the 399th time
Lmao 🤣 this cracked me up I was thinking the same thing
🤣🤣🤣 same
🤣
Me, who can't even one note: ah yes, I grande'd when I should have venti'd.
Lol , that deserves more likes and replies
@@angelinaantony4167 honestly tho, underrated comment 😂
Every time I try it fast, they always blend together 😭
Same. I’m very jealous of my coloratura friends
My vibrato also does not pass this vibe check
Same

It's her clear tone that gets me more than the run itself
It’s all about the ear training (musicianship) the intervals of the minor thirds and major seconds so wonderfully illustrated!
I love how slowed down this is to explain it thoroughly cuz I want vocal lessons 😭
That's so beautiful
If you want to think of it in terms of notes on a piano, it’s just a c minor pentatonic scale starting on G (notes g, b flat, c, e flat, f, g), if you’re using a piano to get a better sense of the notes in the run.
His Starbucks explanation is retarded
Thank you! I just wanted to know the actual notes (even the official sheet music doesn't have it), you've saved me some time with the pitch pipe!
I love how we are past musical notation and in a dystopian "let's explain music in Starbucks" era
Tristan, You are so good! Your voice is incredible and you’re a great teacher as well!

THANK YOU TRISTAN IVE BEEN WAITING FOR A VIDEO LIKE THIS 😩🙏🙏🙌
Grt job and yes it is easy slow and steady first always.. with riffs!
“We don’t even know why it’s on the menu”
🤣🤣🤣
i love how u used starbucks sizes lol
King
It's like a pentatonic scale with and extra one step. The last step is actually not a tiny step. It's just another "grande" step😃
or for people who know intervals, it’s minor third, major second, minor third, major second, major second
As someone who’s in choir and taking singing lessons, I just explained to my sister how to be better at runs. You just take it note by note and go faster, you’ll soon be singing rolling in the deep better. If more people knew how to sing they would be better but that’s just me.
What makes it wild is she changes registers and it gives it that country yodel sound at the end. That’s what makes it hard to duplicate
Tysm!!!!!! This helped me sooooo much!!!!!
thank youuu i’ve been trying all day!! ❤❤
It also helps to modify the vowel on the way up like she does!! She goes from an “i” sound to more of an “ee,” I think helping to reach a stronger head voice :D
loving the fact that youtube literally gave me the video used in this short right after i scrolled
Thank you! I needed this! It helped me!😊
Oh my gosh you helped me I have been trying to figure out this note!! I’m subbing : ) !!!
the first 3 steps together sounds like fiona's theme from shrek
aaaah thank you so much!
nice video👍👍
the first three notes are the song from shrek's melody and then with the 4th added it makes up the change in the melody.
dude you're so authentic
the Starbucks reference was gold ponyboy 🤣
You, sir, have a beautiful voice
Thank you so much, this really helped!
This helps me a lot
you look like eduardo franco! also, your explanation helped me so much 😭❤️
Its works so well
Wow! Thank you for explaining this.
I feel envious
Me trying to do this the octave up when I’m sick 🥲
It really help bro, many respect to you
Tysmm
Thank you so much!!!
I don't know its in my feed but this is really a nice find
Thanks for the help! Very well explained
“ Nobody knows why it’s on the menu.. Nobody actually knows why you exist 🤷🏻♀️ “
😂😂
Thank you so much. I can do it but I needed the layout first. 😩
Me whos not good singer
But believing my toxic traits i can do this better 💀
What I find to be most impressive about this run is the speed really
Or learn solfege and it’s a piece of cake to explain! mi-sol-la-do-re-mi’ ☺️
i love you man ty so much
Ur crazy helpful
It’s literally just going up the pentatonic scale. It’s the scale most commonly used for vocal runs.
YEBBA..... MY MIND...
both of the last 2 intervals are major 2nds, they is the same distance between the notes
“And one large frappachihno”
Its not the notes tho, notes in most runs is just pentatonics, but it's the tone, the color and technics plus reverb of the room that makes it sound impressive
THANK YOU
Ok got it the moment I hear it 😮
Nailed it
You look like a mix of twelve different people. My brain was like flipping between different faces I recognized lol
OMG IVE BEEN THINKING OF NOTES AND RIFFS IN LINES LIKE THIS MY WHOLE LIFE I THOUGHT IT WAS WEIRD
Well, if you don’t have the equivalent starbucks sizes to every interval, it would get counterproductive really fast. There are 12 semitones whose distance can be expressed as intervals, and probably not 12 starbucks sizes, which means either imprecise or incomplete applicability of that kind of system; you would either have to refer to multiple intervals as one starbucks size, which would lead to a lot of confusion, or have intervals that could not be described with that system.
I need you in my life .
…semitones/whole tones/3rds/etc would have been way less confusing 😂
That was helpful. Will I be able to do it, 100% no. But it was helpful.
I was classically trained, and my weak spot has always been runs. I can see it written out, but I can't sing it. Well, I can sing it. It just doesn't sound like a run.
I will still give it an effort.
This actually helped
You are correct sir. But if you really want to show off, move another two steps to the octave.
Well maybe you sung the wrong note but if you didn’t and it was right, that last note is there to resolve the one before it. Try ending the run on the one before it and it doesn’t sound good
The steps are either a whole step or minor third. Where does the tall come into play?
SIS WHAT IS YOUR HAIR CARE ROUTIN PLEASE!!!!!!!
I work at starbucks. We have a size even smaller for hot drinks called a short. It’s literally a sip. The cup is meant for just plain espresso but you can order short lattes??
Simple once you break it down. Why is it SO satisfying though?
❤️
I WANT VOCAL LESSONS SO BAD
Wait! I just did it! Ahh! I got some improvement!
Those curls 😍
G pentatonic scale, why would coffee cups and drive thrus be the easiest way to describe a run?
Cool
TJANK YOU
If only the intervals already had names based on how far apart the notes are
I'm still over here trying to figure out the dark horse run
That run was such a Mariah run!
sike breakdown 🔥
I can’t 😂😂
Pov: you work at Starbucks and call big stuff venti
Pentatonic scale
That run she hit was dope tho
Last one should be a grande…
How the heck do you do the chorus run in 'Tenasse Whiskey'?
I'm only 12 and I'm learning this
Hm but what are the correlations to a scale? Is it a lower do so jump or a higher so do jump? Yall is just one note step?
Ok I'm believe you 😅
*Me doing this* oh gosh that's Opera😳
