I like that they are saying it in a Barbie dreamhouse
Christopher Hodgson 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I loled so loud that I scared my dog.
😂😂😂😂😂
I lurve it and want to live there.
YESSSS
Sam has legs wow. And an equally nice and knowledgable voice teacher friend 😱
and he is so gorgeous with those sexy glass
Sexy Thicc boi!! YAAAAS SAM!
@@leanture3685..... Well that's rude.
Richard wtf???
Sam honey. Fuck this troll xD not literally.
Richard Leaninng to obese? The fuck? Are you blind? People like you are so disrespectful, unnecessary, and rude.
I am shook by this new angle
I REALLY like this format.
Sam's smile when he listen to Beyoncé is everything😍
When he hears good vocals period
Queen
That why she queen bey!
Polite judginess reigns supreme. It was great listening to two clearly very knowledgeable people bounce ideas off each other, great video!
I started with a Linguistics degree and then shifted and majored in Philosophy, this whole video was pretty much speech porn while trying to figure definitions which is so important to people communicate, reciprocate and understand. Thanks for doing this
Wow, what was your favourite part of philosophy? I dropped it after my first year in university, I found it so overwhelming ha
I saw Whitney Houston and I clicked
But I seriously need a Whitney Houston best live vocals reaction💙💙💙💙💙
Would preciate it
the only reason i clicked was to see whitney houston
Me too. So disappointing to stop whitney in that moment.
Deez Hoez please react to Whitney!!
I also still whaiting for reaction video's of Whitney Houston in her prime and dutch singer Glennis Grace
Same
This video illustrates the problem using subjective language. When you use objective, precise language then clarity of message is conveyed
That comment about Queen Bee! "Everyone else can stop singing now" I. Am. Dying. hahahahaha
🐐
Steve "...for any guy trying to produce a strong sound in these pitches"
Sam: * does the sound *
How dare you
*Mariah Carey Mix Differences:*
Chesty Mix - Emotions album
Balanced Mix - Merry Christmas album
Heady Mix - Daydream era
Masked Placement Mix - Charmbracelet album G5 and up belts
*Yes folks! Mariah Carey demonstrated already all the type of mix voices lmfao legends only! 💖*
Yessss
Im still finding a masked placement performance of sohyang
Daydream is headier than Merry, but it's still very much balanced, I'd say maybe that one Bb5 in Honey remix is heady, if anything?
edit: her so called whisper register is an airy heady mix! Mix doesn't have to mean belting.
@@ocandro Yeah but that's the only time or era that she used her head dominant mix and after that she's back in chest-dominant mix on Butterfly era but not the album because you still can hear head dominant mix in Whenever You Call belts. 💖
KennethSNSDSone SMTOWN I get what you mean and after all, these are not strict terms, but more of a spectrum.
Reacts to a 6 min video... ends up making a 31 min analysis vid 😂
I remember at university a litterature teacher told us "don't put more time analyzing the text than it took the author to write it" An advice that stucked with me! Haha
I couldn’t understand half of what Steve said. Maybe If he sang his responses- since then it has an ‘American’ sound....
ps : is that ‘millennial pink’?!
A perfect partnership. Thoroughly enjoyed ☺💛
Love you you are great
Sam looks so adorable here honestly
zain Sam has such a boyfriend look here
ICameHereToHaveAGoodTime _ True!
He always looks adorable! Such a sweet and handsome guy 😊💘
J R I agree!
You two are such pleasant, brilliant people! I am trying to learn more about singing and have learned so much because of you!
ugh we stan a vocal intellectual
taemin's lips just one?
CHOERRY vocal legend
Lmaoo
That lamp in the back is fabulous darling :))
Great video. Very interesting and informative. I would like to see more of these "collabs", if you will.
Sam you’re amazing you need your own tv show
Please react to more Prime Mariah. her voice is so interesting to analyse, she said she has nodules since she was a child and that was primarly the reason she could hit whistles. React to "Vanishing" SNL Rehearsal, considered one of her masterpieces she wrote the song when she was 18 even before having a record deal. Part of why she was always vocally misunderstood for some vocal coaches is because her underrated b-side stuff is MUCH greater vocally than most of her single.
I agree with this. Unfortunately, what is good for the singer is not always good for the record label. A lot of singers' released singles are definitely not their best work. The label isn't so much into releasing the best music, they want what will sell best, chart well and make them lots of money. Of course, it still has to do well enough that people keep listening to the singer in order to make more money down the road. I imagine that's a pretty difficult tightrope to walk.
I enjoyed this video. Its nice to hear different perspectives. As well as positive ways to critique. Everyone is different and are not going to completely sound the same. I also enjoyed how both of you showed examples of what you were talking about through your voice. I also understand more since you've put them in terms of Light and Heavy. Keep on Keeping on. I think Ill go check out Steve Giles....
i love that he so aware of internet hate lol he just laughs it off
O.O I like this new guy 🖤 Also, Sam, you look amazing, Idk if it's the sweater, a change in lighting, the pink accents in the background or a combo of all three, but I like how it's working for you.
angeladeluna It's that he has legs, ok and a sweater instead of a t shirt, but the legs are a novelty. Who knew he had them? Alright I really did know because I have seen some of his singing videos but the legs in The Voice Teacher mode is totally new.
"Don't watch the music like this. It will ruin it for you!" LOL. You guys make this topic entertaining. Great display of the examples.
Love your reaction when you saw Sohayang's name 😂
19:37
Really enjoyable to hear you two share your knowledge on this subject with us. I don't normally like long videos like this but I really enjoyed hearing you both, especially hearing your discussion on the terms used. Thank you!
I'd love to see you with with Natalie Weiss. Get her to break down a riff with you!
YES
Yooo we have the same name my name is Alfie too!
YES DEAR GOD YES
YESSSS
I would literally die!! I LOVE her! Doooo eeeet!!!!
Fascinating. I love listening to experts enjoy their fields.
Same here!
I love the fact that they both started smiling at 16:27 after hearing Beyoncé SLAYING with those POWERFUL, RESONANT and CONTROLLED vocals.
QUEEN !
At 16:42 look how amazed they are, I have the same reactions 😂❤️
Your Beyonce fandom seems to border on obsession.
burntvirtue Yes I’m obsessed with Beyoncé like a lot of people that aren’t fan of her.
@@burntvirtue Well anybody is far obsessed with Beyoncé than her haters and detractors.
@flwtchs _ You got all that from what I said huh? How?
She's the GOAT
YES KING! This is literally what I need
Sam with cool glasses and a friend! I’m living for it! ❤️
I'm so not surprised you guys know each other!!!!
I can't express how lucky I feel to have been taught by Steve for a short year. What an amazing teacher and person!
The vocal nerd in me is really happy about this wow hahaha
I have a LOT of thoughts today so please bear with me as I gather them...
This is easily one of my favorite videos you've ever posted, Sam, and it is FILLED with so much useful information. You and Steve are both so articulate, kind, passionate, and knowledgeable about your craft, it is delightful seeing you share your expertise with one another and with us. Thank you both for that.
As far as the actual analysis is concerned, during the course of this 30m video, things that have confused me for decades suddenly began making sense because the combination of your explanations with examples of what you were talking about helped me understand my own voice better!
For example, I grew up knowing what chest and head voice are, how they feel, what anatomical structures to use to produce each of them, etc. In my teens, I taught myself to transition from chest to head without an audible flip because it sounded like a poor habit to me if used out of necessity instead of deliberation. Later on in my 20s, when I'd gotten comfortable doing this and didn't have to think about it, I started using it as a stylistic choice when singing professionally (well, professionally-ish). And yet, I had no idea until this video that what I've been doing this whole time is mixing. I thought mixed voice was something I never learned how to produce but it turns out I've been doing it for 20+ years! 😀
I was also nodding in agreement with the idea that using descriptive terms for the physical sensations felt when we are singing well can hinder a singer's progress more often than it helps us. In my own past, the best way to understand the physical feelings required to produce a particular sound is to use a mental visualization as a psychological device. It helps me to arrange the anatomical details if I can sort of trick myself by envisioning a non-musical action.
When I was very young, a music teacher trained me to sing while holding a variety of strange and sometimes uncomfortable positions. Laying on the floor, standing on one foot, seated but leaning far back. The point of these was to trick the mind into engaging all the body parts necessary for singing without having to think about it because your brain is focusing on something else, the weird pose that you are holding. Another great one was a voice coach who taught me that if you feel yourself struggling to reach a note, you can tune instantly by picturing your voice sailing up and over the note and landing on it from above rather than trying to get to it from below. It worked the first time I tried it and has never failed since.
And that kind of goes back to the last point about not being so mired in terminology because the important thing is how it feels when your tonal quality is good. It feels COMFORTABLE based on your individual body as a person. And when singing is comfortable, less effort and energy need to be expended, which in turn makes a more consistent, more agile, and overall healthier voice. These things are just so difficult to explain with words though.
I absolutely loved this video. Thank you so much, Sam and Steve! ❤🎶😍
PS - my last voice coach was also named Steve!
PPS - I had a kitchen that had a white, orange, and hot pink color scheme 💟🧡💟
Arrrright I'm done 🤣
Your comment is helpful and enjoyable as well. Thanks.
I saw your name and said, oooh this is gonna be a long one!! JK, lol
I love seeing you nerd out with a music friend. I love watching you nod so happily along with words and statements I’m not even fully understanding lol. I ALWAYS love seeing how giddy you get about Beyoncé’s growl and now I LOVE you’re pink decor 💕💕💕💕💕
And love that you have LEGS! Hhaa
Great conversation! Love how you make something that can be so dry, technical and boring so entertaining and enlightening. "Make it yours" were the 3 most important words any coach ever said to me, which is how you summed things up at the end. Well done!
You guys accurately vocalized all of the frustrations I have watching vocal coach responds to videos! I love the shit out of them, don’t get me wrong, but I have all of those same (if waaay less articulated and educated) thoughts, because I feel like these terms can and do mean anything at any given moment! Not only do they change between the youtubers, they change in the same person as well it seems like, so as a beginner it’s SO hard to get a true handle on what you guys mean!
Sam, I think you’re the person to get this shit sorted 😎 you’re thorough and analytical, and I can ABSOLUTELY see you developing a universal vocabulary for singing that like, you know, universally makes sense 🙃and then promoting the shit out of it and teaching it to people.
Dooooo iiiiiit. You can’t teach people nearly as effectively if you don’t have a clear vocabulary with which to impart your wisdom.
Yep, I’ve just casually assigned you your life’s work 😂
Imo all voice teachers use those terms in a very similar way, unless layman channels. The video they react to hear is a layman channel (Fedsax) that relies on the content of other layman channels run by another layman (Matheus Diaz), and their idea of such things as "support" and "resonance" don't make any semse ans are simply wrong and not compatible with the dogmas of vocal pedagogy
@Nox Eath Hmm?
@@JasminGardenia lol delusional, matheus has no faults with those terms, support and resonance are both in CVT and SLS
I saw this and was thrilled, like "oh yay, I get a Sam Johnson video for a whole 30 minutes!". And the the video ended and I was like...."that was 30 minutes?? It felt like 5!" I could listen to you for hours. Fascinating as always, Sam, and great fun. Steve is awesome too!
I started listening to The Naked Vocalist a few years ago and fell in love with the way they tackle different aspects of the voice! So cool that you have Steve on here.
Almost 500k. So happy for you Sam, you deserve all this success and more! ❤️
David Phelps is classically trained. He was a vocal performance major at Baylor University where he also was trained in bel canto.
What the unique voice and incredible singing ability So Hyang has !
I've known about So Hyang in less than two months. At first, I was very shocked and really surprised
that such an incredible singer is in this world. After that, I've been watching her performance videos
and listening to her songs. She must be out of this world ! Thanks.
Not gonna lie, there was a looooot of stuff in here that I didn't understand at all (disconnected? supported? I did understand Kermit! XD ) but it was a fun change up from your usual reaction videos! (Still love those, don't ever stop doing those!) It sounds like the two of you need to start spreading the word about changing the terminology that's used. Even as a complete novice, I understood light & heavy more than chest & head. Spread the word! :D
Great video, Sam! Maybe you should record one of your lessons with Steve, that could be fun to watch! The teacher being taught :D
I love what you do Sam.
A suggestion... i would personally LOVE it if you would illustrate what you say with a bit of singing from ur part. I learn a lot and understand a lot with hearing/listening.
So please consider doing that more ;)
Lots of love
I love that you just lose it over Beyonce, lol.
Loved this! Top 5 favorite video you've done for sure!
Growling is so difficult
its cool to hear people that are professionals give their take and analyze so critically.
Sam, your style is so fresh! Loved watching your collab
Whitney is the best and set the standard! These guys need to do a Whitney reaction
Please more Whitney Houston react
Yes I agree
Yeeeeeessss
ABSOLUTELY!!!!
You paused it on Whitney...I'm offended lol
ME TOO! HOW DARE YOU GUYS!!!! UGH 😑
This was enjoyable. I appreciate that there are several ways to communicate various vocal techniques. Some more technical, others a little more abstract. It helps show how important it is for teacher/student to find someone who can communicate/receive this information in effective ways, each to each.
Pleeeease react to front man battle w/ Queen + Adam Lambert!
I cant believe he has legs, fake video
Sam and pewds are of the same breed
I love that Sam knows who Natalie Weiss is because I’m obsessed with her voice. Now we just need a reaction video please, to explain the magic.
Love Steve Giles!
I love how you give a more nuanced perspective to the things said by the vocal community.
More collabs!!! Thank you for a great start to my Friday morning :)
I hope you guys are going to create more reactions like this. It's so nice to see professionals look into these kinds of videos because a lot of them are very misleading and are mostly created by people who give their own definitions based on their own bias. Not saying this video is one of them, but over the years I've seen clips like this made by know-it-alls whose knowledge about vocals are only just as much as any layman. It's really great to watch professionals like yourselves give your opinions about this. Merry Christmas!
I love your precision with word choice. As someone in the medical field, certain terms I despise for the same reasons, in that they're broad or not accurate with where they focus, which can lead to people not being able to relate or understand.
Love your critical thinking and analysis skills not just with the music, but also the word choices and the difference they make with allowing everyone to relate. Good on you.
Why am I watching this....I don’t sing, understand any of this terminology, however I appreciate the expertise and critique while not being judgemental.
It is always very entertaining and satisfactory watching and listening to you, Sam! You're clearly very educated in singing and you've been very helpful to me. Thanks a lot for the content you share
Love this video, great seeing you collab hearing both of you bounce off each other, loving the background also.
Is that your house, its cute love the lamp, pillow it all really.
And seeing you at this angle so different. Cute too
Love this! He's a neat guest, Sam. I like hearing polite discussion. Keep it up as always
I have no idea what you guys are talking about but I'm watching it anyway
please react to Mariah Carey's best live vocals !!
up
Up
Please
freddie hendy YEAH
Omg please, still waiting for that
Awesome video ☺ what's better than one voice teacher? Two voice teachers😍
Yes! Sam’s positive view point is a major reason I watch all his videos. I cannot sing a note without setting all the neighborhood dogs to howling but I do appreciate those that can!
"That's a lot for me to unpack."
Omg, my new catchphrase. Keep on guys...this was amazing.
So happy I found your channel! Thank you 😊
This is great! Thank you from a bona fide poor, who cannot currently afford voice lessons but wants to learn as much as possible.
There are so many singers to whom I'd love to hear you react. Julie Andrews, Idina Menzel, Ana Carolina, just a few artists who fascinate me, and I'd love to hear you deconstruct the reasons.
A very good video for me to watch just now... have been hearing a lot about how people "should" sing and "should" be trained, and I just get the feeling that nitpicking terminology isn't helpful OR esteem-boosting. It leaves me feeling like "I can't do x and therefore I suck", whereas normally I know I don't suck, but rather could use more training and practice to smooth out the rough edges. I also love the holistic sort of approach you both take with singing, where it's about "one voice" and how it feels, and also about what YOU want to do with your voice, rather than a blanket standard to be applied to x genre of singer.
Also, Steve, you're totally awesome!! (For real.)
This was a treat! Thanks guys very informative.
You should make this an ongoing series at least once a few weeks. This conversational format between two artist/singers is unique and interesting.
Whitney is the Vocal Standard: Tone, Power, Clarity, Emotion, Connection, Phrasing, Timing, Vibratto,, Transitioning voice through out her body, Confidence. THE VOCAL STANDARD. P.E.R.I.O.D! =)
I love your videos Sam! Very helpful and informative. Can you please, please, please do a specific analysis of any solo David Phelps performance of your choosing? They're all good! If you have done one previously, my apologies, I just can't seem to find one on your channel. Phelps. is. amazing.
This was a lot of fun. Would love to see more collabs with Steve in the future!
This was amazing! I wish you could take a second to explain a few of those terms, but I know that can be tricky. I heard so many terms today that I wish I knew what they meant. But yeah, you two rock!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I don't know if I was more pleased listening to those great voices or to your incredible dispute. Great job! Sam, you are my hero.
This gives me more insight into technical approaches to singing than a year taking lessons did. It makes me feel happy and sad at the same time because I wasted so much time but I also feel like I am finally understanding how I can treat my voice and myself better while singing
So interesting and done in such a nice way. Could happily sit with these guys and learn as much as I could. Awesome videos!
He stopped his sentence to appreciate sohyang and I love that 😂
I really enjoyed this relaxed fun vibe between you two analyzing :)
What SteveGilesUK said. I love your videos because you come at it from an intellectual point of view but you are so positive and supportive.
Love this video. One, that living room is fantastic. I don't know who decorated it, but kudos to whoever it was. Second, the way you both described head and chest voice was so relatable to me, a novice. I finally understand what the difference is between the two. Last, I also loved the way you guys described chest mix, heady mix, balanced mix, and masked place head voice. It was a tremendous help to hear the explanations of all these, so that I can understand what is being said by the video. Thank you so much for everything you do.
In This Video So hyang Singing
"You Raise Me Up" 2018 Version
Please React It 😇😇👍👍
Thank You
Tell you what isn't mixed well in this video, the VOLUME!! My lord! Steve is practically whispering then Sam belts out a note and destroys my face like I just opened the Ark of the Covenant.
"End video here." No! We need more of this collaboration. You two have great vibes.
Oh yeah...."AILEE IS GREAT" (Chesty Mix) @ 13:03 .... and "YES" @ 25:45 hitting G5 Chesty Mix (Masked Placed Head Voice)... Glad to have a reaction like this. So much to learn from guys.. Thanks! Keep posted...
this podcast style video is AWESOME
This was great. Really good seeing you breaking stuff down with someone else for a change, if done again maybe choose someone who's opinion differs more from your own. I'd be interested to see you going back and forth with someone.
*music theory intensifies*
Please react to mariah carey - You And I！
Thirty minutes of my life well spent. Thank you for the video! Thumbs up!
You should analyze Jose Feliciano’s 1968 National Anthem. He was a major trailblazer for the time period of performing the first personalized National Anthem. This was also during the height of the Vietnam war and he made the National Anthem sound like a balled rather than a fight song. He almost lost his career because of it.
This is AMAZING. Can we get more of you two talking about technique. I'd watch anything y'all put out.
23:35 pinch your nose! my voice teacher taught me to pinch and unpinch my nose, feel for vibrations + listen to the sound
This helped me get out of my nose and find my mask
“When we open the mouth”....*takes an awkward swig whilst making eye contact*. Perfect timing. Lmao
I think there was excellent rapport between the two of you and it was fascinating listening on your conversation. David Phelps is classically trained with a Masters from Baylor.

Mitch from PTX/Superfruit just makes it look so easy to hit that note and he does that on pretty much every song. Beyonce, Whitney and Celine. What can you say, they just belt those out like its nothing.
