This Video is your masterpiece. That’s the most comprehensive precise depiction of the main work tools of producing sound with the human voice I have found so far on the whole internet. The go- to source for explaining how it actually works, the blends in between, everything. I’m in awe
@@chrisstegerean9429 like how he to struggles from time to time to show hes human and has no shame about how silly he sounds ....unorthodox and its universal without over the top technical lingo....he cares about ya
@@illfather7066 Yup. I like how he does something weird, pauses, then laughs a bit, kinda like "yeah that sounded weird - I guess I'll have a laugh at myself.".
The production of these videos are great and really make a difference. Especially when presenting the singing such that you can hear the explanations and hear the singing at reasonable volumes without having to adjust the volume because the singing is just way too loud. Just great.
@@radionowandthen I know, right? Volume difference is one of the things that always kills me when watching vocal tutorials, or videos in general; I always accuse TH-camrs of not knowing what a compressor is. Thankfully, I can listen to Chris while preparing a snack, without having my neighbors think someone's dying in my appartment.
Chris don't listen to Chris, you are one master coach who is totally free to self to express anything at its best.. not all own dis quality man... Great tutorial ever seen on difference of vocal throw out.... Very professional you are 😍
I've only just felt the differences between a falsetto, head tone, and a chesty mix, not having any vocal training at all, but this video helped me see correlations between the three and how they intersect. This is a HUGE leap from all the practice i've been doing alone! Thanks so much for this!
Excellent tutorial! I wasn't able to get from headvoice to mix... but you explaining the use of compression in head voice to get to mix helped so much. Thank you!!!
Pleaaase tell me the song in the Intro we can find just for listening pleasure. (With your voice if you did a cover lol) It sounds like a great song to practice falsetto and head voice while also being so calming and peaceful😭
Just get to know your neighbors and make them a part of your experience! That’s what I had to do when I was in a one room apartment... it was a really healthy thing to do on several levels!
@@chrisliepe I have the same problem, I can sing on a stage with the band noise and people who is there to listen. But in my house I can't practice, because I feel ashamed, I feel too exposed. This hurts me very much, because I can't study and be better. I'm too shy for it. And when I can't sing what I wish to sing because my voice can't go there yet I feel guilty. Chris, can you make a video about this? Tell us more of your experience? I guess it would help us somehow. I thought about practicing in a studio, alone, but here, in my country, the pandemic situation is absolutely dramatic, very bad situation, and we better stay at home, we don't know until when.
@@theb6st99 Now that's a good idea, my friend!! I loved it. The only problem is that I just have a bike. Hehe. Now I wish I had a car. Lol. Thank you for the lovely idea anyway!
@@MCetd I struggle with this a lot as a beginner. I know I'm an okay singer but without backing (either a track or my friends playing their instruments) I feel exposed and don't want to 'subject' people to the 'noise' I make. I do have a car so and I often practice there but I'm trying to think of places I could go to practice where I can just be totally alone with my voice.
Yes, except he sounds forced on a lot of his covers because he sings out of range. Also don't believe that "My tongue is so relaxed that is why it elevates" 98% in the history of GOOD singing never done that.
@@vegeta1885 No way man, Tamplin brings it also. It's OK for there to be more than one good music teacher or methodology in the world, it won't hurt you.
I've been singing for 8 years, never took any formal lessons (no money) and while I've made a lot of progress over the years, it was always through online vocal coaches and tutorials, and it wasn't until about year 7 that I realized I had been doing a GREAT MANY things wrong, and that's when I discovered that I had no idea what it was supposed to FEEL like when you sing correctly. The feeling, in your throat, in your stomach, your chest, is so unique that if you haven't felt it before it's incredibly difficult to know if you've got it right. When there's no one there to tell you "yes, THAT'S right," you have no real point of reference. Well, you've managed to create a set of lessons that convey your message so well through the medium that is the internet, that in simply 3-4 of your videos I was finally able to figure out what it was meant to feel like when you sing correctly, and since then, in just the last 3 weeks, I've made almost as much progress as in my last 8 years combined. So thank you immensely, and I will most certainly be checking out each and every one of your lessons!
i HAVE had lessons and my teachers never got into the technical stuff! it was all scales and just singing. I was even a paid performer and here I am realizing I had no idea what i was doing concretely! I can't wait to hone my skills!
Can you please tell me which of Chris's videos did you watch and in which order ? I mean I watch all the videos and pick up titbits but I can't figure out what to do first . (I do want to buy the course but for now I am not able to... Till then I want to make the most out of videos)
Holy crap! I've been singing for years and always struggled singing in that A4ish break. I just had this gap in my range from a few cents flat of A4 to about B4 before I switched into Rob Halford Painkiller voice at C5. Unfortunately, Rock uses those three inaccessible notes all the time. The exercise in the video was the first time I've been able to repeatedly hit those notes! I'm going to have to practice this a bit more. You're onto something here! This actually works!
16:20 - that is such a problem among male singers namely. They’re taught that chest voice is their domain above all and that they don’t have a real head voice unlike females. They then end up with overshot voices that have too much weight and a capped chest range, with a weak, hooty falsetto.
Chris! By the time I'm writing this, I'm still watching the vid. And I MUST SAY! WHAT A WONDERFUL VIDEO QUALITY! The quality of image, sound, scripting, video editing... Gosh! I'm so glad I've found your channel in a sea of bad content here in YT.
Thanks!! If I could double or triple "heart" this comment, I would. Thank you for appreciating the production quality and the instruction! May it bring you much inspiration in your singing :)
The most fearless singing teacher on TH-cam - very generous tutorials. Chris do you subscribe to any particular teaching philosophy regarding singing - I know on TH-cam there is a lot of ‘sls vs bel canto’. How did you learn?
Chris literally talks in a mixed voice for most of his videos. That would definitely help his ability to produce sound through that area. Similar to Ariana Grandes character in Victorious. She spoke in that character voice for all those episodes, so no doubt that helped make her mixed voice very easy to access.
Dude. When I first started experimenting with higher notes, I was so confused about falsetto vs head voice. This is a great explanation man. You rock buddy. Keep cranking out these videos!
@Overton Jones listen to taya gaukrodger. Shes a christian female vocalist and shes amzing. I recommend her live version of oceans, she belts amazingly
"Don't worry about what it's called...." is what this whole video is about. For me it really break the rigidly learned rules that I had around the upper registers. Thank you! You just gave me permission to "play" with my voice by changing the variables of support, air flow and compression. Thank you for opening up my vocal world. I have no real words to express how much this blew my mind. Thank you. As Heir said below: this video is your masterpiece. Bravo.
You're so welcome Neil! I'm glad you are embracing the throwing out of terms and the embracing of experience! It will continue to chance your musical live!!
So rare to found a vocal coach like this one! I tried to sing a lot of songs including Can You Feel the Love Tonight (Elton John), Perfect (Simple Plan), Yellow (Coldplay), Decode (Paramore), Let You Go (Jason Walker), etc.. but only end up making an instrumental of my own cause it's almost impossible to sing along with them (otherwise, i'd resort to falsetto all the time which would sound shit) I'm a male yet i only find the female key instrumentals/accompaniments and a lower pitch comfortable for me to sing.. Male voices of original songs are so high so i compose/make my own instrumentals instead in a higher/female key and sing with head voice most of the time.. The only original songs i could sing along to without the need to change the pitch is Little Things (One Direction), Chasing Cars (Snow Patrol), Hallelujah (Jeff Buckley), Bad Day (Daniel Powter), Wrapper In Your Arms (Flyleaf) etc.. (these songs force me to go head voice and chest voice most of the time)
Chris , your are gifted not only as a singer but also as a coach . You know how to transmit your knowledge and the way you feel things . I’m so happy I once bumped into one of your tutorials for now I’m a fan of yours and I’m learning a great deal.
This was probably one of the most insightful videos about singing technique I’ve ever seen. You created a fantastic way to show people how possible it actually is to get from “I’ll never be a great singer” to “I can learn to sing anything well enough for the effort to be worth it !”
Singing reminds me of some of the engineering courses I used to take - lots of equations to memorize - really complicated. But if you actually understand what's going on, what is really going on within the system, you can derive the equations yourself without having to memorize all the equations. This is what Chris has accomplished. Chris really pulls it together with his explanations and demonstrations, laying the foundation in easy-to-understand terms that can be derived and applied for use across all the various voices. I have studied some other singing courses, but Chris' approach is really well presented and unique, as is the production quality of his videos.
@@chrisliepe It's the Internet, so I figure any comments are always at risk of being quoted (or worse :). If you believe my perspective as I provided it makes sense and is useful, feel free to quote it in whole or in part.
It’s three o clock in the morning and I’m in my room high pitch whispering (kinda) repeating whatever this man says and trying to make the same sounds. The rediculous part is it’s actually working. I have been trying to get my head and mixed voice for so long and I feel like it’s gonna happen soon mainly because of this video!!! I’ve been feeling like I’m at a point as a younger baritone that my belting is starting to hit a ceiling in terms of range atleast and if I don’t just want to be yelling in choir I might need to learn something else. I hope to join the altos soon lol. Thanks Man U are such an awesome teacher!
Chris I lost my ability to sing falsetto years ago. Could this be from over singing (too many nights a week performing) causing vocal damage or does it sound like a technique problem?
It definitely sounds like a very common technique problem. ... A muscle memory problem that with the right exercises, you can fix. You can always go to a ENT and get your throat scoped to make sure there isn't anything weird going on, but I've seen students with this exact issue dozens of times. Once they learn the right sensations, they are able to cleanly access their head voice/falsetto. You might be ready for this? chrisliepe.com/journey-invite/
Chris, i have doubts about mixed voice. Sometimes i think some singers i like are singing in chest voice, but now i discovered the mixed voice. Like the song The Kill - 30 seconds to mars - Is Jared Leto singing in chest voice or its Mixed Voice in the chorus?
5:20: "It does not matter so much, we can do the same in our chest resonance". Mindblown. I wish I could listen to this hint many years ago, bravo! For singing purposes, the difference between "head voice" and "falsetto" is not so important as (too) many other vocal coaches seem to make. "Head voice" still sounds false somehow, right? It is not where you want to settle if you seek to develop a true, full singing voice (like I did and completely got lost due to the great deal of confusing information). Keep up the good work, I like your way of teaching!
You're just a very sympathetic and authentic person which is is also important for being a good teacher. Great videos! I'm glad TH-cam suggested me your vids! Greetings from Germany :)
This tutorial sounds like elmo and it is cute,i was trying to impersonate elmo's voice or other anime character at the same time.This helps me a lot and now i'm learning ,thank you for sharing your video!😉🙏
The Mic doesn't get enough credit. I can hear your vocal folds and positioning so well because of it and have been able to implement it within my practices.
I think this is the best explanation I have seen so far, it really opened my eyes. I thought of head voice vs. falsetto as if head voice was some complete different vocal mode, but actually, it is just head voice with few compression and a lot of air coming through.
I gotta tell you, I appreciate that you're very easy to follow. You seem to choose your words carefully without any filler, you speak clearly, not too fast and not too slow, and your demonstrations are really good. This and your other videos are really helpful, thank you for your fine work!
So, if I take your course will I get biceps like that? 😉 Just kidding. Seriously, I stumbled upon this vid while on a quest to understand why my speech was kind of breathy while in a head voice. You explained, and demonstrated, why. Although I'm interested in speaking vs singing (I sing like Kermit) I think the same principle applies. I need to close my vocal folds more. The difference was immediately noticeable to me. This is truly the best, most informative and most understandable explanation I've seen. Thank you sir. Subscribed!
There was a time when I usually listened to Sonata Arctica. I really liked the high vocals and started figuring out how to imitate that. Eventually, a few years ago I could sing G5 and higher. I stopped practicing it (even had an operation)... From last year I was focusing on my chest voice and the smooth transition when going higher. Noticed that although I improved, now I can't remember how to hit even E5 properly. So, thank you for the information, this will help me to remember and become even better.
I knew you were legit! There are a few teachers, especially those on TH-cam [some not all, who swear that falsetto and head voice are the same. Tara Simon loses points with me every time she says that.
Could you please show us how we can ,,jump" from chest to head with ease.. like in the climax of ,,I will always love you" you know that part ,,looooove YOOOOOOUUU"
I'll throw another one in since its often flying around on r/singing "How do I know if I'm using a reinforced falsetto vs a high mix? Or is this more BS terminology that more or less means the same thing?"
How do I know if I'm driving a car or an automobile? :) Am I enjoying the ride? Then that's enough! You're right though... so many things to get caught up in!!
Will Parker it’s easy to know this if you’re in a band because if it’s the first one they just can’t stop themselves telling you (over and over) ‘yes but that’s falsetto’. I’ve stopped listening to them - well actually I haven’t, but I’m working on it 😄
I'm here, shame I didn't before, Chris, thanks for let us being so close to michael again, He my worst nightmare my best dream ❤ God knows I want to be different
This guy is just amazing! Couldn’t find s better word to describe what he does! Have listened a lot of vocal coach and never imagined that we could do so many things using a combination of our different voices!! Big thanks Chris❤
Very interesting topic. Could you explain the meaning of the falsetto by means of the classical singing? By that I mean for example th-cam.com/video/t936rzOt3Zc/w-d-xo.html starting at 2:06 is having a very classical falsetto, like an owl sound. Could you repeat that part and commentate just for letting us to have a deeper understanding.
9:57 - incredible demonstration of the transition between vocal tecnhniques. Absolutely one of the best demos I've ever seen or heard on this, in 20 years+. Great stuff.
lol i was googling the lyrics and didn't find anything that matched so i guess its an original. i thought it sounded like something jared leto would sing.
Very Matt Bellamy! Loving your videos at the minute! Can I do it?! I’m gonna try! Would be great to see a video to show how to sing like my idol John Lennon!
This is the first video of yours that I've watched and you, my friend, are the real deal. I've been watching youtube vocal coaches for a number of years (never been formally trained) and you've taught and demonstrated more in this one video than any other video I've seen so far. And your not charging for all this information...really nice.
Hey sir, i love ur video, and i love how you explain to us how to have a good voice or vocal, but I'm from Indonesia and i can speak english of course, but, please put the indonesian subtitle, becuse thats gonna make me easy to know what you say, becuse my eglish listening is not fully good, please if you can, i alwas love your video and love your content
You may have missed the beginning where I explain what head voice is vs falsetto. There's a lot of head voice in there :) Try re watching the beginning maybe??
Since you're educated on the subject of music, could you explain how important it is to actually study stuff like music theory for singing, specially on the area of music that you're working like Rock and Metal?
Theory can open up lots of creative possibilities. I LOVE music theory, but I use it to come up with ideas. I actually sing modes with my voice. I practice riffing on certain scales and improvising like I'm playing guitar, but I'm singing instead. :) Theory is great for opening up that side of things.
Love it! I second a video about vowel modification and such. One of the concepts a lot of people talk about but there is not a lot of information online for. Like how to connect let's say A and Ee without strain, how to use vowels in high mix etc. Keep up the amazing work!
Ok, you're a great teacher. I'm gonna check your channel. I have soooo many diferent vocal characters and i wanna understand how i go from one to another but also how to unlock new ones haha.
Wow! You are very good at explaining and demonstrating everything. This made it so easy to understand! I've been following a singer, Dimash, who never lets himself be placed in categories or genres. He sings in all styles and all ranges and all ways. He is remarkable and able to create music beyond most singers capabilities. If you haven't yet heard of Dimash you should take time to listen to this unparalelled singer!

I think I'm not a singer? but I learned how to do falsetto and I used that over and over-it sounded thinner-until I think I've mixed it? I don't know the terms but I think I use mixed voice when I sing now.

The only original songs i could sing along to without the need to change the pitch is Little Things (One Direction), Chasing Cars (Snow Patrol), Hallelujah (Jeff Buckley), Bad Day (Daniel Powter), Wrapper In Your Arms (Flyleaf) etc.. (these songs force me to go head voice and chest voice most of the time)
Chris , your are gifted not only as a singer but also as a coach . You know how to transmit your knowledge and the way you feel things . I’m so happy I once bumped into one of your tutorials for now I’m a fan of yours and I’m learning a great deal.
Thanks for engaging in the content Pat!
Little Ceasars: OK would you like cheese bread sticks with that? 15:03
This was probably one of the most insightful videos about singing technique I’ve ever seen. You created a fantastic way to show people how possible it actually is to get from “I’ll never be a great singer” to “I can learn to sing anything well enough for the effort to be worth it !”
How to learn to read music in an unconventional Chris way?😙
You are a very good teacher ! thank you Chris!
Singing reminds me of some of the engineering courses I used to take - lots of equations to memorize - really complicated. But if you actually understand what's going on, what is really going on within the system, you can derive the equations yourself without having to memorize all the equations. This is what Chris has accomplished. Chris really pulls it together with his explanations and demonstrations, laying the foundation in easy-to-understand terms that can be derived and applied for use across all the various voices. I have studied some other singing courses, but Chris' approach is really well presented and unique, as is the production quality of his videos.
Can I quote you? :)
@@chrisliepe It's the Internet, so I figure any comments are always at risk of being quoted (or worse :). If you believe my perspective as I provided it makes sense and is useful, feel free to quote it in whole or in part.
It’s three o clock in the morning and I’m in my room high pitch whispering (kinda) repeating whatever this man says and trying to make the same sounds. The rediculous part is it’s actually working. I have been trying to get my head and mixed voice for so long and I feel like it’s gonna happen soon mainly because of this video!!! I’ve been feeling like I’m at a point as a younger baritone that my belting is starting to hit a ceiling in terms of range atleast and if I don’t just want to be yelling in choir I might need to learn something else. I hope to join the altos soon lol. Thanks Man U are such an awesome teacher!
Chris I lost my ability to sing falsetto years ago. Could this be from over singing (too many nights a week performing) causing vocal damage or does it sound like a technique problem?
It definitely sounds like a very common technique problem. ... A muscle memory problem that with the right exercises, you can fix. You can always go to a ENT and get your throat scoped to make sure there isn't anything weird going on, but I've seen students with this exact issue dozens of times. Once they learn the right sensations, they are able to cleanly access their head voice/falsetto. You might be ready for this? chrisliepe.com/journey-invite/
Chris, i have doubts about mixed voice. Sometimes i think some singers i like are singing in chest voice, but now i discovered the mixed voice.
Like the song The Kill - 30 seconds to mars - Is Jared Leto singing in chest voice or its Mixed Voice in the chorus?
The sort answer is “yes” ... both :). More on Mr Leto soon!!
This is absolute rock solid gold. As I sang along, my voice did things I never thought possible
i thought these techniques were to just reach the next octaves of the same notes
I'm trying to learn to do head voice better and my mom just walked in and said "are you okay?"
Haha!
It is worth studying the voice of Dimash Kudaibergen!
He better react to dimash
Oh my, hes the best out there isn't he
Could you PLEASE make a song with this part 1:48 ???
It sounds so good, I listen to it every day :)
5:20: "It does not matter so much, we can do the same in our chest resonance". Mindblown. I wish I could listen to this hint many years ago, bravo! For singing purposes, the difference between "head voice" and "falsetto" is not so important as (too) many other vocal coaches seem to make.
"Head voice" still sounds false somehow, right? It is not where you want to settle if you seek to develop a true, full singing voice (like I did and completely got lost due to the great deal of confusing information).
Keep up the good work, I like your way of teaching!
Thanks for sharing this!!
Chris can you help me? Where should we keep pur tongue positioned while singing? Is there different positions for falsetto/hv and chest voice notes?
You're just a very sympathetic and authentic person which is is also important for being a good teacher. Great videos! I'm glad TH-cam suggested me your vids! Greetings from Germany :)
5:27 "we can do the same thing in our chest resonance"
unfortunately i can't :)
This tutorial sounds like elmo and it is cute,i was trying to impersonate elmo's voice or other anime character at the same time.This helps me a lot and now i'm learning ,thank you for sharing your video!😉🙏
Hey can you do a cover song for how deep is your love .. I would love to your way to do it.
Next video: blends in the chest register: from crooner-soothing to devil- summoning in just 1 second 😂😂😂
You just described Brendon urie in a creative way ahahahgag
@@eugeneimbangyorteza so true
This video took me a few watches before I understood what was going on so if you’re confused after watching this once don’t give up!
Using the break is something I always struggled with. I learned something today. Thank you.
Hahaha...why do i burst into laughing.....
Btw.. ur Awesome..
U have gain a sub and the bell icon.....keep grinding...loving it..
I'm so amazed on this masterpiece! and was totally shocked when you belt at 2:04, so many unexpected things. Hoping for my voice to sing like you do.
The Mic doesn't get enough credit.
I can hear your vocal folds and positioning so well because of it and have been able to implement it within my practices.
Nice
I think this is the best explanation I have seen so far, it really opened my eyes. I thought of head voice vs. falsetto as if head voice was some complete different vocal mode, but actually, it is just head voice with few compression and a lot of air coming through.
wow the answer to so many questions ... just thinking of Chris Cornell and (!) Jeff Buckley ... wow amazing THANK YOU
Love your videos pls make how to Sing like Matt bellamy
Miguel Velez came here because of micro cuts hahah
should my chest vibrate a little bit when i am in head voice?
I gotta tell you, I appreciate that you're very easy to follow. You seem to choose your words carefully without any filler, you speak clearly, not too fast and not too slow, and your demonstrations are really good. This and your other videos are really helpful, thank you for your fine work!
😮your chest mix sounded so 90s grunge ❤
Man your vocalizing with the track at the beginning and the end is awesome. Absolutely beautiful tone and sound. A feast for the ears.
So, if I take your course will I get biceps like that? 😉 Just kidding. Seriously, I stumbled upon this vid while on a quest to understand why my speech was kind of breathy while in a head voice. You explained, and demonstrated, why. Although I'm interested in speaking vs singing (I sing like Kermit) I think the same principle applies. I need to close my vocal folds more. The difference was immediately noticeable to me. This is truly the best, most informative and most understandable explanation I've seen. Thank you sir. Subscribed!
There was a time when I usually listened to Sonata Arctica. I really liked the high vocals and started figuring out how to imitate that. Eventually, a few years ago I could sing G5 and higher. I stopped practicing it (even had an operation)...
From last year I was focusing on my chest voice and the smooth transition when going higher. Noticed that although I improved, now I can't remember how to hit even E5 properly.
So, thank you for the information, this will help me to remember and become even better.
I knew you were legit! There are a few teachers, especially those on TH-cam [some not all, who swear that falsetto and head voice are the same. Tara Simon loses points with me every time she says that.
Could you please show us how we can ,,jump" from chest to head with ease.. like in the climax of ,,I will always love you" you know that part ,,looooove YOOOOOOUUU"
journey style singing next pls..
your voice is freaking amazing, this is my first video I've seen from you and i have some catching up to do xD
Welcome to the channel!
Why does it sound like you're straining a lot in those gritty parts?
I’m using a well supported mix with distortion/compression on a few of the notes. No strain at all :)
13:39 Very helpful! And hilarious because “e aí” is “what’s up” in Brazilian Portuguese haha.
whassup

I'll throw another one in since its often flying around on r/singing "How do I know if I'm using a reinforced falsetto vs a high mix? Or is this more BS terminology that more or less means the same thing?"
How do I know if I'm driving a car or an automobile? :) Am I enjoying the ride? Then that's enough! You're right though... so many things to get caught up in!!
Will Parker it’s easy to know this if you’re in a band because if it’s the first one they just can’t stop themselves telling you (over and over) ‘yes but that’s falsetto’. I’ve stopped listening to them - well actually I haven’t, but I’m working on it 😄
I'm here, shame I didn't before, Chris, thanks for let us being so close to michael again, He my worst nightmare my best dream ❤ God knows I want to be different
11:34 when you transition from pure falsetto through to supported head then chesty mix .... then full scale Chuck Norris.
This guy is just amazing! Couldn’t find s better word to describe what he does!
Have listened a lot of vocal coach and never imagined that we could do so many things using a combination of our different voices!!
Big thanks Chris❤
Very interesting topic. Could you explain the meaning of the falsetto by means of the classical singing? By that I mean for example th-cam.com/video/t936rzOt3Zc/w-d-xo.html starting at 2:06 is having a very classical falsetto, like an owl sound. Could you repeat that part and commentate just for letting us to have a deeper understanding.
9:57 - incredible demonstration of the transition between vocal tecnhniques. Absolutely one of the best demos I've ever seen or heard on this, in 20 years+. Great stuff.
Love the "huh-huh" laughing-ish sound you sometimes make when your voice does some really crazy stuff :D
Hey Chris I'd love to hear you singing and analyzing some 30 Seconds to Mars songs. Thank you for this video btw. Saludos desde Colombia!
Andrés Sánchez that would be cool actually Jared has some very nice raspy stuff while having also some very clean high high song
You ate the best teacher in youtu.be bro! I learned a lot from your videos
1:52 - I tried to Shazam it, is this just a song for this clip? Cause I'd love to learn this??
I’ll post the full track soon
lol i was googling the lyrics and didn't find anything that matched so i guess its an original. i thought it sounded like something jared leto would sing.
@@chrisliepe What is the song? help :(
Very Matt Bellamy! Loving your videos at the minute! Can I do it?! I’m gonna try! Would be great to see a video to show how to sing like my idol John Lennon!
This is the first video of yours that I've watched and you, my friend, are the real deal. I've been watching youtube vocal coaches for a number of years (never been formally trained) and you've taught and demonstrated more in this one video than any other video I've seen so far. And your not charging for all this information...really nice.
Hey sir, i love ur video, and i love how you explain to us how to have a good voice or vocal, but I'm from Indonesia and i can speak english of course, but, please put the indonesian subtitle, becuse thats gonna make me easy to know what you say, becuse my eglish listening is not fully good, please if you can, i alwas love your video and love your content
I'm seeing a lot of improvement in my singing whatching your videos. Thank you for such great work!
I didn't hear Head Voice Sir!!!!! ....I am I missing something? I will like to know how to transit from Mix to Falsetto to Head Voice
You may have missed the beginning where I explain what head voice is vs falsetto. There's a lot of head voice in there :) Try re watching the beginning maybe??
Since you're educated on the subject of music, could you explain how important it is to actually study stuff like music theory for singing, specially on the area of music that you're working like Rock and Metal?
Theory can open up lots of creative possibilities. I LOVE music theory, but I use it to come up with ideas. I actually sing modes with my voice. I practice riffing on certain scales and improvising like I'm playing guitar, but I'm singing instead. :) Theory is great for opening up that side of things.
I can only sing good stuff in falsetto😑 had to click on this to feel comfortable bc I wished for Corey Taylor voice and I got a Pharrell voice😕😂
Love it! I second a video about vowel modification and such. One of the concepts a lot of people talk about but there is not a lot of information online for. Like how to connect let's say A and Ee without strain, how to use vowels in high mix etc. Keep up the amazing work!
Ok, you're a great teacher.
I'm gonna check your channel. I have soooo many diferent vocal characters and i wanna understand how i go from one to another but also how to unlock new ones haha.
Wow! You are very good at explaining and demonstrating everything. This made it so easy to understand! I've been following a singer, Dimash, who never lets himself be placed in categories or genres. He sings in all styles and all ranges and all ways. He is remarkable and able to create music beyond most singers capabilities. If you haven't yet heard of Dimash you should take time to listen to this unparalelled singer!

I think I'm not a singer? but I learned how to do falsetto and I used that over and over-it sounded thinner-until I think I've mixed it? I don't know the terms but I think I use mixed voice when I sing now.
