Thanks Chris 😊
I used to sing at karaokes a lot when I was a teen, but one day my voice just stopped coming out in front of people. I thought it was just because of voice changes during puberty, but later (like 10 years later) I discovered that I suffer from social anxiety. After doing therapy for 2 years, I can kind of sing in front of people again.
That’s amazing! Go you :D
what? but you were fine with it weren't you? to me, it doesn't makes sense
@@quwane it’s normal because social anciety doesn’t really make sense. You know you should be okay woth certain things but you can’t bring yourself to overcome them. That makes it worse at least in some cases. So you got it right :)
Also you can “catch” it later in life due to events and stuff. It can also flow in and out periodically. It depends! It doesn’t always look the same.
@@quwane social anxiety can be developed by a lot of factors, especially during puberty because you start getting more self conscious than as a kid. You aren´t born with it and part of social anxiety is an irrational fear of rejection, doesn´t need to make sense
Chris singing got me going mental 🗣️🔥🎶🎶🎶🎧🎧🎧
This was much needed. It’s weird too because this was something I didn’t originally have a problem with but then it developed overtime and I haven’t seemed to be able to stop it.
I feel this
This video came in just when I needed, sometimes we need to tone down our egos and realize that even though the experience is still there, some problems come up unexpectedly. This is exactly it, when I first started singing I didn’t actually “suffer” from this, but recently I think that’s the case, thank you Chris!
You’re hilarious my friend. And spot on. Just because you can run a 1/4 mile in X-seconds doesn’t mean you can run a mile in 4x-seconds…. right now. And maybe you don’t need to.
Hi Chris!!!
I just wanted to give you a HUGE thank you. I’ve been singing for a bit time and have done lessons before but only for a short time. I’ve been blessed with a great vocal range and a pretty voice but people always used to say I sung with no emotions. That i was boring lol!!
I stumbled on your videos about a month ago and I was like I guess I try his approach and omigosh! It’s like I’m a brand new instrument! My band even asked me what I was doing during our last practice!
I got your course just this week and I’m so happy I was browsing TH-cam and found you! Please don’t stop ever what you are doing! You helped me so much!
1:11 Fml mate your chops are amazing. 👊😍😍
2:45 I just laughed my ass off while being frustrated about me not being able to record shit I KNOW I CAN, so thank you
I hope you’ll get the recognition you deserve for the work you’ve put in with your voice and your style.
your commitment in your teaching gives me motivation to be the best singer I can be and to believe in myself even more to pursue my dreams.
Sebastian is one of the best metal singers of all time.
Yeah, Sebastian is something else.
You're such a creative and inventive teacher. Always equal parts impressive and practical. Thank you Chris 🙏
no words... excellent
Strong advice. It's all about the delicate balance of maintaining continuity in breath, resonance, and vocal chord compression through the bridges (both ascending and descending). Any one of those stops - disconnect.
I already do this so much, I'm barely singing the song as it was recorded! There's a fine line between grounding and bailing out. I think I'm just bailing because I don't have the capability. The worst thing is when people around you think you have a good voice and you feel pressure to live up to that, so you bail out more so you don't get exposed for all your weaknesses. Human voice is pure vulnerability - and I struggle with that most of all.
Im living vicareously through chris liepe having the freedom to make goofy noises without anyone having to tell him to shut up lol
One day ill have my own space to practice that isnt in my car lol
Haha hundreds of people a day on TH-cam comments tell me to shut up :) but I keep going anyway.
@@chrisliepe theyre so wrong. Those funny noises are so integral to singing. I wish more people understood that.
@@jessieward7340 absolutely. People who refuse to make the goofy noises miss so much
@@mwylie1085 ite like of a body builder didnt lift heavy weights because they're afraid it would make them look weak. Gotta do that stuff to build up the muscles and flexibility
Seems like time and time again the best singers are shifting everything the whole time - placement, vowels, registers, textures, compression. Way more interesting to listen to.
Chris - sorry for the long-winded comment!
I have been noticing that pretty much everything you sing is without tension, for a long time now. A month or two ago I finally just started really digging into the fundamentals and the “sensation” of my voice as you always put it and the changes I’ve made are insane!
In the past, once I started tensing up I had to take a break, but now I can mostly consciously call back the feeling of a relaxed note and get rid of the tension!
For anyone else that read this far, thank you. But maybe it’s time that you start from the bottom again, and learn PROPER technique. Trust me, it’s so worth it
To add onto this, muscle memory is important! Because then you can ANTICIPATE what you’re going to do next, and when you can do that you’ll nail it every time. Thank you for teaching us this Chris!!
DVS yup, the struggle is real. I’m working on a song right now that I need to apply this grounding to. Thanks for once again providing practical solutions for our vocal struggles.
Chris, this is an issue that has been plaguing me for a while now. Thank you for addressing it. You are awesome!
I've wanted to do 18 and Life l. I now have to with this approach.
8:50 Awesome inspirational video mate, think it has helped me realise I need not be so hard on myself if my voice starts breaking or I can't nail certain songs. Singing well can't be rushed! 😊
SUCH a good explaination, thank you!
Chris is a mind reader, i was literally just struggling with this recently. Its such a fresh perspective on how to fix this thank you!!
This video I could really feel the frustration from all your attempts to make that song work for you. So thankful that you chose to turn it into a lesson that we can all grow from for free! Looking forward to more.
your videos have helped me so much im doing things with my voice i never thought i could do hitting and holding notes i thought would be impossible thankyou so much all i gotta do now is refine it
Very clear! thank you for this. .....If I may add something, those ups and downs are very difficult to deal with too lol you're awesome
Great stuff Chris this makes so much sense😊 miss you guys
Another brilliantly helpful tool. Thank you Chris! =)
Thanx man! Your unique takes are always so insightful!
Grounding is actually something I already subconsciously did when singing exhausting lines now that I think about it and it really helps. I always considered it "wrong" though because it was not in the song I practiced, so very nice to see that you do it, too :)
Great advice, thank you SO much!
This is fantastic. I recently found myself just totally unable to sustain a note for a length of time that used to be fairly easy for me and I could NOT figure out what was going on. I received the advice to sustain for the same length of time BUT to alternate between two notes instead of sustaining just one. Seems so ridiculous because it’s the same amount of breath for the same amount of time but somehow just that sensation of going from one note to the other relaxed my brain and my body and I was then able to switch back to sustaining the one note whilst holding the sensation of alternating between the two notes in my body and PRESTO no problemo 😃. This has the same feel to it. I like it.
I did it today,doing guide/scratch vocals,as soon as i did the comfortable easy thing,i was able to get higher n stretch the melodies,still have alot of work to do to get it where it needs to be,but you are spot on ,your technique works.
Makes me chill because a day before i am trying to sing this song and my voice also melted i know i can hit the notes but my brain is having a hard time switching to mix up until head voice i am very thankful for your explanation Chris you still awsome for all the years ❤️ much love from philippines 🙏
The fact that SkidRow is the first I sang as a toddler, all through my childhood, through puberty, into early adulthood. But when I start training my vocals the biggest disconnect I experienced and I started losing my voice to was when I was singing Skid Row. The notes I used to hit with QuickSand Jesus, Wasted Time, and Darkened Room I couldn’t hit anymore. Let me tell you how devastating this was for me. I’ve just started singing some SkidRow again after three years and after finding MY voice and locking down my breath control. The disconnect now is caused by fear even though I know exactly how my voice moves and which of my registers meet Sebastian’s range. It is equally devastating.
I love more technically wise people explaining to me things that I do intuitively just by feel. I always base my belt/mixed tone from a lower place of comfort. Going up into crazy pitch and crazy tone always felt more do-able if I visualize it coming from my safe zone.
Funny thing, I’ve been singing Bring Me To Life for quite some time and I always stayed up in the higher range for most of it. Listening back to the original today, I noticed how often Amy actually drops down to rest her voice on a lower note for the fragment of a second just like you demonstrated it here. I never noticed before! I knew about this concept of resting your voice to increase your stamina delivering a challenging song, but the interesting thing is, it happens so subtly, the listener barely notices, if at all. Unless it’s been brought to their attention. I’ll ”hear” songs differently from now on, I’m certain of that. Thank you, once again!
I experience this type of thing when I try to do Misfits songs, in particular the Michale Graves era. I can generally sing a fair amount higher than most of those songs (Michale can as well, the songs were just written lower of course), but could never wrap my head around Saturday Night. Thank you for this video!
Aaah precious 👍
OMG I needed this video
This might also be a good way of addressing my mimicry problem!
Chris sings metal very cool
lol it's a bit not obvious you did indeed "bask" in returning to your comfort voice and grounding. Very well illustrated!
Good Video
It would be so cool to hear your thoughts on ZP Theart, where he was in this band for a bit. This was such a great video!
Hey man….good job. Good utube too. I like your vocal range during presentation. I am mired in simple voice to external pitch matching issues. As an adult singer the key pitch hearing singing perfect pitch thing eats my time better used for creative expression
Nice lesson. He moved around and mixed a lot. When he was young.
You have to work it out. Best you can. It can be done. But he was special then. There was fry and placements, high even on the fry and a difficult fluidity, basically a specialized version of bel canto helped him a lot. He was singing high in choirs when he was young.
But that resonance, fluidity and almost operatic sound at times he played with. Was a version bel canto training.
Yeah his teacher to really free him up was mine. Don Lawrence.
I can do a lot of what bach does but not everything he did, the way he did it then.
Thank you )
I would like to have a playlist with your covers, I would listen to them all day long, and I think many people would too..
I have one! Glad you're enjoying !! :)
I find that the cadence-ing of lyrics can also be tough so that the lyrics sit properly, and breathing (the older I get). Have a shot to lessen your anxiety too. Laugh, but I find it helps. Lol
Faça mais reação com o Gabriel Henrique. ❤❤
Yeah I occasionally have this problem still when I hit record but when it happens I just try again and then eventually I’m in the zone and it all just flows. It’s frustrating doing a part flawlessly then you hit record and you repeatedly come in late over and over or stumble on a word you had no issues with before hitting record.
That said sometimes I have the opposite happen to with my screams where my brain and body give a better performance because it knows we hit that record button
06:02 😂😂😂
Okay I'm completely untrained so this might be bad advice but I learnt to stay in a higher register for longer by singing guitar solos
I think that's great advice. Imitating instruments is a great way to discover your own voice
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I've noticed something I like to do, to slip lower (usually when I'm singing higher - ie I slip in my mid-range, the chest one) and then I jump back up to the high parts.
I guess I'm doing it too slow, as my vocal couch is usually telling me not to do it, as it can be heard at least partially and often it sounds like a long slide-up.
I know that often it doesn't sound good, so I don't argue my coach attempts to correct it at all.
But the thing I like when I'm grounding is that I tune to resonance much easier when I'm comfortable, and somehow it's easier to transfer that resonant position higher (not always though sometimes the positions are too different I guess).
But that resonance grounding I think sometimes is like an anchor that makes me push my chest voice higher instead of building a mix.
I haven't found a balance or the technique to switch them yet :/
MARILYN MANSON POSTED A CLIP OF HIS NEW SONG!
I haven't checked out if you have any excercises or other videos for it, but a video on stamina? how to increase it or just idk how to describe it but yeah, I feel like sometimes I get really breathy or my voice just gives out because of stamina mismanagement
I beg you to react and analyse Caskets "Lost in Echoes". Matt Flood is one hell of a vocalist and i want to hear your opinion on his technique. PLEASEE
Pleace react to Slimane Mon amour - Eurovision Grand final
It's spectacular! Would love to here your analysis of this power-power (but yet sentimental and vulnerable) voice and performance. ❤
Thanks Chris , very helpful!. Also, where can I find a studio/mixer desk/station like you have? I can't seem to find them regardless of any searches I try. I want to have that particular spot for the mixer and the front style as well. Thanks in advance.
It's an Argosy desk but has been fully customized by a local cabinet maker. It was originally designed for an old Tascam board they don't make anymore :)
Haven’t been here in a bit life got busy. But I wonder if you can analyze Micheal Clifford as a vocalist from 5sos
2:46...I should be able to put it in a song, right?😂🤬There isn't a video of yours that doesn't make me laugh for a moment.
And yes, you hit the mark again.
I’m a member of your paid course, what part of it will we go into this concept further?
Weeks three and especially four expand on this concept in great detail!
I don't know if I should get my own personal space or work on my self to not be scared of singing in front of others or where others can hear me. (for example - my family, neighbours, roommates) It feels very restricting to only do it when im in my car. Which makes it hard to practice consistently. Sometimes i look for reasons to drive somewhere.
I still love to drive and sing!
sound at start sounds better at 1.5x speed!!
This can be an elusive problem but the solution seems so obvious now. It's amazing that you figured this out AND you're able to explain it so well.
I have been combining learning to sing/scream with learning voice acting and japanese so my neighbors must be extremely confused by the random noises. Though i find myself less uncomfortable hearing myself act/sing in a language im not fluent in because i dont expect to hear myself a certain way like i have been hearing all my life.
Hey Chris this is more unrelated to the video. Out of your courses provided on your website, which would you suggest for a Tillian Pearson type vocal style? I was looking at the Spencer Sotelo course and thought that might be a good choice too.
I agree with you... The Spencer course will a great fit! We cover a lot of the character aspects that will help you approach what Tillian does
@@chrisliepe Dude thanks so much I can’t wait to check it out!
For me, I've got this wierd thing where I can sing notes from D2 to DR then my voice cuts off but it will come back at C5 to G5. What is that and how can I fix it?
I have a type of disconnectedness between my mixed voice and normal voice. I physically cannot increase the even more amount of cat or any other character in my voice that's good for mixing. I have a real loud head voice and kind of a mixed voice sound but I actually just cannot connect it even with the squeakiest of my chest voice
It feels like i have TOO much cat texture even in my normal voice and it's TOO loud to smoothly transition into a higher mix
I can go incredibly deep with a warmed up voice and incredibly high, but I literally cannot connect it all together because it feels literally just like very different voices
I can't feel my head voice at all when going lower with it and it just breaks if i support it well
belting also comes at a high cost of my voice tearing into broken up loud vocal fry
Sometimes it's also hard to control that cat voice because i don't know when i'm pushing too much or not enough
it's been like that forever man but i'm not complaining. I'm just sharing. I don't have a chance to go to a class either. The only thing I'm scared of is that when the times comes to sing out all the emotions I have (it can happen in the future), I won't have anything to express myself with, even my own voice
My voice just cuts out in volume sometimes 😆 🤣 Just...blank.
i got a question, is it normal to struggle with sustaining notes? i feel like its so much easier for others, i can barely hold a note it always wobbles.
also because i didnt have this issue before my voice dropped, does how deep your voice is affect agility and control? cus i could always sing much mroe freely when i was a kid but now its a struggle to do runs and all that. is it true that ppl with higher voice have it easier with control and agility?
It IS normal for your voice to wobble if you’re not supporting your voice correctly! Voice type has nothing to do with agility or stamina but many people with lower voice types will force their voice to sing in areas that are not comfortable yet without proper training or mindsets and this hampers agility in a big way! I’d encourage you to join my free course linked in the video description and I’ll help you get the foundation you need so you’re no longer experiencing these issues :)
@@chrisliepe yoooo you responded, thank you! im definetly gonna check it out!
Can you please please react to Invincible era Michael Jackson music!! 41 year old MJ voice is wild. Maybe the song butterflies!
I just wanted to add, Sebastian has a naturally higher speaking and singing voice than you do. Listen to his interviews where he's speaking. He sounds like a little kid. So some of his abilities to stay up there stem from his natural vocal range. It's also why most singers struggle to cover him note for note. I can't think of another singer who has a speaking voice like Sebastian Bach. Not one. Maybe they're out there and I'm just not aware. The only singer I've heard who actually nails those songs was his replacement in Skid Row, Erik Gromwell. In fact, I like his voice better. BTW, he's a guy you should interview or collaborate with. What a talent. But I digress. My point is SB just has a naturally higher voice. So it's amazing to me that you can get as close as you do. My voice is even deeper than yours. So thanks for the tip. I'll try that out.
Better to call it Voice Dysmorphia
Please react to BE:FIRST Masterplan. Their songs are always unique and insane!

Is not being able to sing on beat also considered part of disconnected voice syndrome by you?
timing is certainly part of DVS yes!
@@chrisliepe I wish you'd make a video on how to sing on beat. I heard someone else explain that you need to sing along with the singer and figure out the beat by tapping it on your chest while singing.
Wow, impessive cover.
