      I think it’s because he honestly likes metal. She isn’t the first screamer he’s reacted to, and he appreciated the work that goes into doing it well. And he’s also really great for providing information about how things are done - why they’re done well or not, and when he does critique, he’s never negative.
      Seriously, he reacted to and critiqued a video of the worst Idol performances. Never once did he get negative or mean, but he did provide helpful critiques. He’s by far the best vocal coach reacting on UA-cam. I’d love to have him as my voice teacher. I know he’d never be negative or mean about anything.

      At times I think she's great, but to my ear she does way too much of the easy sounding, low effort harsh vocals. It's probably just a tolerance I've built up, but if I don't hear the strain it doesn't do it for me. I love the desperate sound when a vocalist puts everything they have into it. Caro from Oathbreaker is a good example of a female vocalist who does this.

You are the King of really nailing every nuance of what the singer is doing, the reason they are doing it, how they could improve and why. Not only that your also very solid, consistent and consistently honest while maintaining a wonderful gentlemanly humbleness about yourself that few people have. I wish you continued success in any endeavor in your future. Just a really great job man. Really great. Keep up the good work! If I ever needed a vocal coach (which I definitely would need ) or referred one, it would and will be you for sure. Thanks for the vid man. Not a huge fan of growling.

You do so well not criticizing the artist or the genre rather you break down the vocals, stay professional and still have fun! Prior to your videos, I had no idea about the importance of vowels and vowel choice from one to another. I've noticed an improvement in my sustain and not getting tongue tied because I'm figuring out the best vowels to use and best way to sing with my instrument. Thank you! SUBSCRIBED!

It's an interesting modern variation on the quiet-loud-quiet Pixies, Nirvana etc theme in my book. The musicians do a great job delivering feel & dynamics on both sides of that coin, & the fact she sings well means I'm subconsciously forgiving the growls I reckon!

    I like you are deviating from only pop music lately, if you wanna see something amazing you should react to Ever Dream by Nightwish live at Wacken 2013 ( LISTEN ALL THE WAY TO THE END TRUST ME) , the singer is floor Jansen she's a metal singer that has been around since the late 90's and a vocal coach herself, that song shows a little portion of what she can do she's capable of doing anything from high belting, head voice(operatic), soft, growling, anything. Other songs are Storytime (shows her rocky voice, operatic and high belting at the end), Ghost Love Score (lasts 10 minutes but is the most dynamic one), Greatest Show on Earth ( lasts almost 20 minutes) .... Anyway whichever one you choose make sure you listen all the way to the end, she likes to end flashy.

      Check out his female singers in rock and metal video, he's well aware of the awesomeness that is Floor Jansen ;)

      He did a compilation of the female metal singers, but I wanted to hear his particular analysis of this performance as well. Particularly the ending because to me, it sounded strained , though it is obviously gorgeous and gives me chills. I wonder if she is pushing chest or blending etc.

      Levi Everarts i already watched it, and i didn't like the clip that the person who made that video put in it, i mean there are tons of good perfromances from her and yet that person chose her one bad show before she went into hiatus for like 4 years. :(

      ShadowLeafAliyah i doubt it is starined, she seems pretty comfortable in her high chest voice even more than in her operatic style if anything i think she releases all that she was holdin in through out the previous portion of the song. XD

      Yeah that's why I'm curious what Sam would say since not everyone hears what I do. I think that compilation used something from After Forever. She's evolved a lot since then!

    Ahhhh why am I so addicted to this channel XD. This is the 8th consecutive Sam Johnson video I've watched tonight (it's 1 am where I live), and I have school tomorrow! This is also the first youtube vocal instructor whose videos I've watched who really focuses on technique, and actually offers thoughtful critique instead of just reacting. I don't have a clue how to sing (although I wish I did), but these videos are genuinely captivating. One of the few UA-cam channels left that offers quality content! :D

    I genuinly love his reaction. He is not close-minded like some others. A true vocal coach who knows every vocal techniques.

    I know a few people have mentioned it already but I agree that an Opeth examination is due in the near future. Mikael Åkerfeldt really is a phenomenal singer. He doesn't usually hit a lot of highs with his clean vocals but I'll be damned if it isn't always smooth. Not to mention the amount of control he has with his screams.

      He has a very distinctive voice and strong melody composition, on top of killer screams

      Absolutely. I love the contrast between his cleans and screams. His cleans are so smooth and sound like they can lull you into sleep while his screams perk your eyes and ears wide open and just grab your attention instantly. It's difficult to do that and still compliment each other but in Mikael's case, it's seemless.
