First vocal coach to actually give you meaningful, technical, helpful Cornell singing tips!
😊
This guys great. Also check out Chris liepe. His videos on Chris Cornell (more specifically just mixed distortion) are the best on the internet
The best channel
@@remingtonr717 yup. That guy and his crying cat impression have unironically helped me reach higher notes more powerfully. I think his analysis of Cornell performing Beyond the Wheel was also really insightful to Cornell's singing style as he got older (and still hitting those high notes with serious power).
I was friends with a kid whose parents were in a band called Eleven. They were Chris's backup band on the Euphoria Mourning Tour. He told me some nice stories about Chris and what a sweet, humble guy he was.
You mean like Natasha and Alain’s child?
I love Cornell, he’s my favorite vocalist ever. Also, that Danny Carey thing in the left hand corner of the screen is amazing!
😊
You actually nail it. And you have a VERY sympathetic teaching style.
Sympathetic? Explain 😐
@@SterlingRJackson you're calm, collected , soft spoken. You explain things very well. And you can actually sound like Chris Cornell. To keep it short, you're not like Ken Tamplin, who is just yelling and shouting.
miss chris, love your singing. good stuff.
Thank you
Dude when you started talking about mix, it’s almost like when I was learning polyrhythmic drumming, you over exemplify the characteristics of offset hand movements and refine it, totally helped me! Thank you for the video!
The tip about shutting down the enunciation was very helpful. Particularly on those verse lines.
This is such a great leasson. The tips for mix voice and compression are incredibly valuable. Can't wait for that vibrato lesson, because the 'artifical' vibrato your produced here sounded beautiful. It's certainly a very unique perspective into vibrato, as most vocal coaches claim that that kind of vibrato has to be natural.
This video is such a gift. I’ve been debating with my brother about building my natural vibrato which has taken a couple of years and his artificial one which he developed over a few weeks and is ultimately more available and sounds dramatic. I need to learn this!
Knowing how to do all of them by just experimenting and having fun is key I think. It will ultimately make you a better and more versatile singer in the long run. But there’s definitely something to be said about really singing and connecting to a natural vibrato. 😊
@Sterling R Jackson epic. Thank you for the response. I’m considering my song choice so I can send you a video to critique soon.
Such a great teacher
Brother… I play close attention to all my esteemed colleagues in the industry. But you’re one of the few people that I have heard that instantly caught my attention. Bravo! Love your work. We should get on a Skype call and talk nerd talk sometime.
It’s rather bananas to receive a comment from you Mr. Manning. My singing really began from your courses and online videos. I learned so much in fact that I started teaching myself. I’d be very happy to talk with you. Feel free to reach out via email (SterlingRaviJackson@gmail.com) or you actually follow me on Instagram 😊
I may have requested this song before, but my favorite song by Chris is The Promise. I'd love to hear you sing it
Thank you for breaking down Chris Cornell’s singing style. Very practical!
😊
just subbed, I like your honest non-pretentious down to earth tone explaining things🙂
I like everything you said. You are a great instructor. Springboard the vocal without strain. It feels great when you hit the techniques naturally but being able to put them to work when you need them...that's the stuff!
that nail polish color is gorgeous, I should try super light colors too, they look great
😊
This really was a great lesson. Helped me understand Chris’ unique placement in his mouth. Though he uses a pharyngeal set-up, his blend of twang and resonances are totally his own, and different from other greats like Layne Staley etc. This video gave me so much to digest. Thank you!
Happy it helped out Andrew 😊
Do you think there is another artist that sing similiar to him?
@@mauric440 similar - sure! But Chris feels like CHRIS to me.
I love your videos and your content! I'm learning little by little through trial and error finding differents sound. Chris Cornell is one of my favorite artist an your lesson here definitely help me and motivate me to continue working, maybe one day I can sing like that!
Literally changing my voice as i practice alongside, thank you!
Bro, I love your tone and the power man. Sounds very natural and effortless. How do you sound so bright in all registers-even when singing low. As soon as you move to your singing voice it sounds so open, sharp, and pleasing to the ears. Quite inspirational.
I’m happy to hear your analysis about Cornell’s vibrato. I have not heard that from others, esp about forced vibrato. Looks like it’s not the worst thing in the world to force vibrato. Anyways just wanted to appreciate your voice. I emailed to learn about your lesson. Peace!!
Thank you Atul. Most likely this is coming from support. I tend to use support throughout all kg my singing so notes tend to sound fuller and more even in tone and volume. 🤷♂️😊
That is gold! The thing about nose direction instantly gave me more high mids so I don't have a muffled voice anymore, That will be helpfull for concerts too
😊😊
My god dude. I’ve shared your Cochise video with so many of my friends. It is gorgeous. I’ve never ever ever paid anyone through patreon but my singing sucks. I’d love to be better.
Thank you 😊
Thank you!!
I'm going to use this while driving to and from work. I apologize that I can't afford patron..
You're amazing, man! Great vid, for sure.
Came for Chris, gave a like for the Meatwad reference haha
i fw the reiki tat too 👌
Omg I am so happy that I found your channel. It’s a pure gold!
You were able to obtain so much from Cornell because your tonality is so similar to his. I have come to the same conclusion with John Mayer. I can fairly replicate whatever he's doing because our voices are so similar. Yet, he does not make my Top 15 favorite singers! What matters is that he is a perfect match for me!
I'm singer in an Audioslave cover band and I'm glad with this video
16:26 Ha, ha, you sound like Steven Tyler on 2.5 Men tv show when Charlie Sheen was getting mad because it was so loud and wouldn't stop. Lol
Hey man, do you do online lessons? You’re literally the only vocal coach I’ve heard talk about these things that I sometimes struggle with.
Yeah man. SterlingRJackson@gmail.com
great demonstration, thank you!!
Great video. Thanks. Do you you how much Cornell was employing these techniques intentionally, or was it all instinct? Basically, how much training did he have, if any? Or was it pure talent? Thanks
I'm wondering the same!
Dude! You are such a gifted teacher. Subbed. Would be interested in private lessons!
Thanks Tim. Feel free to reach out to me by email sterlingravijackson@gmail.com
great stuff. thank you!
😊👍
Impressive video. Cornell has been one of my favorite vocalists since my teenagehood, Badmotorfinger and Superunknown absolutely blew my head. I also loved Audioslave, as I was a huge Rage Against The Machine fan, even though his live performances were very uneven at that time. When he came back with SG in 2010, I was blown away by his voice being completely back. I still remember where I was, what I was doing, the whether (thunderstorms, heavy rain... signs from the gods crying) on that fateful May 18th 2017. I can't wait for the new remaining Soundgarden tracks to finally be released.
Thanks for that video, it's absolutely amazing. I'm a drummer, but I'm really fascinated by other instruments and I would totally be unable to theorize, deconstruct and impersonate all these great singers.
Yea Feels great to sing like that, better than therapy .
hi! Just found you, I've been watching your videos and besides being awesome, I have a couple suggestions: first, if you would be so kind to arrange your content in playlists, that would be amazing so I don't have to scroll and search through dozens of videos.
And the second one, is if you can do a small lesson video on how to keep a straight note - I seem to have a big difficulty with it, so I'm forced to do a vibrato even in the times I don't want to.
thank you so much for your content.
Got the playlists setup. As for your problem, I’ve been teaching for over ten years and I’ve never heard anyone with this issue. My advice to you or any student having this problem would be to simply start from the speaking voice and then start slowly adding support and other “singing qualities”. When I’m doubt, I constantly give this advice. Simply make the note with the same musculature that you would for speaking (obviously you’re not using vibrato with that) and then build from there and find the problem area/s. Hope that helps out.
Thsnks man. Really helpful video.
Your speaking voice and Chris's are really similar... 😎
The only one video about the way to sound like Cornell, that realy makes sense. I learned almost everything it by myself but have made the same conclusions about mixed voice.(maybe i would learn it more quickly, if i saw this video before. Or just didnt understaebd then)))
😊
It may be easier for you since you have a similar talking voice.aNot exactly similar but on pitch sort of.
Espectacular. Gracias!
Also, love the hair style. You went Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan 🤘👌
Thanks Shane
Never saw any of your vids before, but when you started talking I was thinking, "his voice sounds a lot like Chris."
Ha interesting
Wow now I know the techniques 🤟
Just wonderful. Thank you so much for a great lesson!
Please make another video for when im down.
Sterling, could you do “fell on black days” by soundgarden? Thanks for the tips
Gonna try that one soon 😬😬
@@SterlingRJackson waiting for this
Awesome
lol, my poor neighbours 😅
Very helpful, thank you :)
When you did the meat-wad voice I instantly subscribed lmao
Hell yeah! Hahaha
Great lesson. Try saying that you "Do an impression of Chris." Maybe people will be more accepting of that.
Are people having trouble accepting something I said? I’m giving free singing advice. No reason for anyone to get upset.
Does make sense though by what you are saying.
yow Sterling,,,,been listening to your covers with Chris Cornell Lately,,,,can you play Black Hole Sun bro???keyboard would be nice...by the way,,,the I am the Highway was very great man...
Ah yess reminds me of man in the box
About 9:30 the word "to shout" is not being mentioned. It's "crying". I might be kind of interesting information that in German you "must not shout" is a commandment that's being taught. Isn't it the same in the classical fach, at least, in America? So "what you're proposing" is to "shout yourself" through to the higher range. I would agree. But I shan't believe that that's what you are saying. What's the difference between to cry and to shout in that context? My guess is: loudness. Now it's getting interesting, as I find some paradox refering to learning. According to my experience, there is no way to not go through a shouting stage. I think that's the only way the muscles, actually the vocal chords, may gain sheer versatilty to calm down and get down to the sound of silence which then may be termed "crying". What is belting, by the way.
how do you get rid of the like fret buzz sound
Amazing instruction. Do you know if Ann Wilson used the cry technique a lot. Like in the chorus to Alone?
I haven’t listened to Heart enough to really know necessarily. Great voice though. Sorry 😕
As someone who hasn't listened much to Chris Cornell, I thought it was you singing at 1:17 😅
Id like to know if I sign up on the patreon, if you will do a lesson like this on the style of Perry Farrell. I’m a natural high tenor and I’d like to get this style down.
I’ll try to cover him soon. I like singing his songs 😊
Hi Sterling. When I try being nasal, in the lower part, i can feel my throat being engaged, but when i go higher, it tends to "hand off" the weight, so i dont feel the throat anymore but the sound is weak unlike yours. Do i need to force something from my nose or something to make it sound fuller?
Not forcing anything. It sounds like you’re used to utilizing tension in your jaw and throat. You need to practice recognizing that this is happening and that it shouldn’t be. Place a thumb under your chin and see how often this muscle engages while singing. In short it shouldn’t. Start learning to produce your sound in chest voice the same as you speak without jaw tension. That should help.
Where is your break? I can't see enough of your keyboard.
G4
I've been doing this for about a year now and sometimes it just sounds like my low chest says in the high note . it's bloody unreliable
I get the feeling buy have trouble with consistency and sgedding the lower weight at times
👏👏👏
I don't really now how to use a nasal voice, can you give me a tip about getting ´´there`` ?
Made a whole video about nasality. You can find it on my channel 😊.
@@SterlingRJackson Will check it out, thanks!
i get it: ma maaa maaaa
one time delivering pizza singing along to the radio I had my voice sounding perfect, quite my job and became a pro singer, the next day couldnt make the same sounds got fired from the band immediatley. had to go back to the pizza shop told em i had diahrea and temporary insanity
Life is hard Joey. Sometimes you go crazy and shit a lot.
Chris Cornell must be some British (I guess, or American, anyway:) not German (what I am) star. Trying to switch from science to comedy: To my knowledge it is is true only in English: "You know my name". Funny side of your work?
I had to discover Cornell, whose name I did not know, doing james Bond song. I very much underrated his voice. Which may show in the beginning of my own first try (edit: as it says, it's the second, I need to take to):
ua-cam.com/video/9RXsU8PYaz4/v-deo.html
a second try I was so surprised about being in need to take to in spite of -ostentatiously- not caring about my reputation). You are right elaborating on nasality. Maybe a nasal voice tends to be underrated subconsciously by listerners as they do associate strength or endurance etc, just a tought of mine.
Anyway, thank you for your advice on nasality. To me, most interesting on that topic, cannot say why. It's just very interesting what you say! It sounds like you know what you are talking about. Forget about theory, right, so to speak. Never mind! Keep up the very good word. Thanks a lot!
Do you offer zoom lessons by chance?
Yes I do 😊
@@SterlingRJackson How might I go about contacting you for that good sir?
@@jimijames27 SterlingRaviJackson@gmail.com I look forward to hearing from you
You get 'mix' one day & you're like I got this sh_t : No you don't. [lol. love it. So true]
Meatwad territory. [love that, too]
Genuinely aware & capable stuff, friend.
Enjoyed & benefited from this [which i love most of all]
But - now - i crave the learnin I've yet to achieve {Golly i hate admitting weakness on the internet} the hard stuff. [cuz, let's face it - for some us - this ^the above^ is easy, and we dont wanna be seen relating to the rabble. They take a mile every time. And assume the same skillset and dilemma] Teach us [me] how to get them Badmotorfinger Jesus Christ Pose "Like I need to be {and here's what i wanna learn] SAVED" {range notes} *you know the "Now I know why you've been taken" notes....
How to take the Mickey Mouse into the high and loud!! [So far - it seems like its soft palette shaping, and I'm workin it out]
But - my friend - show me you can do that - and I'll be lookin for that Patreon link.
Otherwise [and still] - This video - ^the above^ is a rare breed. Genuine skill and awareness, no less helpful demonstration = demonstrated.

& noted excellence
i do, btw, feel the same
Meatwad land 😂
Lmfao
Well you cant sing like Chris Cornell..But trying to sound like him..thats right..!
But you can't scream like him no one can, u picked a easy song, try "smokestack lightning" and that's just one pick out of 30 or 40 songs he screams and sings, his distortion i dont even know the names for what he does, at times sounds like he has two voices and
HE NEVER TRAINED for it, born like that and that kind of gift, i believe no one has it, at least I havent heard it yet
Okay 😑
You’re funny! Who cares whose better. This is art. The teacher is sharing his expertise and knowledge - which is truly valuable imho - and we have the chance to learn and improve! That’s dope. Art always moves forward, and legacies like Chris Cornell should be preserved, explored and studied in videos like this!
I would say he can scream like him as it the same mixed voice principle
