How does Oliver Sykes move so seamlessly between clean singing and screaming? It's an art and a specific skill in and of it self!! He's also an extra expressive and dynamic vocalist! As we take a close look at his technique, you'll discover some pretty simple and practical ways that you can merge what he does into your own singing and expand your vocal toolbox without causing strain or pain! We'll use real studio recordings as examples to learn from!
Another great video! Love that you showed a little bit of their new stuff and old stuff! But I want to talk about the elephant in the room and mention that Oli had "blown out his voice" on a few occasions (bleeding). It's the main reason he doesn't do Harsh vocals as much anymore. And probably the reason you didn't play anything from "suicide season" because you can practically hear Oli destroying his voice!
You're right, he hasn't done his voice any favors... BUT, lots of singers out there get cool sounds AND screw up their voices in the process!! The approach that I take here is to teach you how to achieve this level of grit, aggression, melodic approach and passion AND DO IT THE RIGHT WAY... PAIN AND BLOOD FREE!! :) There's a right and freeing way to do what you hear him doing... even if he himself doesn't actually do it :)
A lot of untrained vocalists have done this such as Tom kiefer from Cinderella and Cory Taylor from slip knot. Chris knows what can hurt your voice trust me and when your seasoned and not necessarily pro trained or clinically trained you can still have great voice. You just need to remember your vocal chords are a muscle and can be pushed too far. So absorb what Chris is saying and don’t ever try screaming without practicing and I suggest working with Chris because if you need instruction you won’t find a better Jedi master
@Trenton Leavitt He trained after he almost blew his voice completely recording Iowa (and he quit drinking). That's why his screams never sounded the same as until 2002, but on the other hand he can do it without bigger strain.
This will outlive Oli Sykes, even in 2008 it was impossible to find a youtube video about him without this exact comment.
Where was the old stuff?
For me Oliver Sykes is the most enjoyable vocalist to listen to. I don't know why, but especially his style during BMTH's "There is a Hell..." and "Sempiternal" era is just so cool. Even nowadays, I've seen them live again in 2018 and 2019, his growls especially still sound absolutely amazing. Hope the band finds a way back to heavier and darker music, and he can find a way to sustain this style without hurting himself :) "Ludens" gave a glimpse of how well their older and their newer style can/could work together.
I couldn't agree more Oli is a genius, one of the most enjoyable vocalists to listen to. I don't think they will return to the darker stuff anytime soon, their new stuff is experimenting with new genres it's great imo.
a pity in 2018-2019 jordan did 80% of screams and high notes :) On recent lives oli was better though
no. they should move to a new style or mix some of them. thats how music works
You'll like their new ep
@@xxXmmxx I absolutely LOVED it!
8:30 me when I try to scream.
I'm laughing so hard 🤣🤣🤣
X2
Moga Gaming underrated xd
Same...all i can do is inhale scream and sometimes it fucks with spelling and pronunciation on some words....;-;
Join my BMTH cover band please
15:00 You’re already the voice inside my yyyeaaaad
:)
Have you thought about having someone sit in with you during these videos and try to teach them the techniques? I would be interesting to see how you correct them, and mistakes that they make, so we can learn from that. Just an idea, maybe a short series of videos doing something like that? I was just watching your "1. WHERE YOUR VOCAL ENERGY REALLY COMES FROM" and I thought it was helpful seeing you teaching someone directly.
I agree... Great idea!
Nice idea!
that would be great!!
thats a rly good idea!!
Yes, please please do this. Kinda how they do it for physiotherapy videos, would be massively helpful. Excellent idea
Chris yelling “PISSSSSSSSSS” in falsetto is all i need in life right now
U should review Ronnie Radke of Falling In Reverse. Lil bit of his older stuff and his new stuff😊
yes.
I would watch that in a heartbeat
OMG YES
Oh hell yes
Seth Burgess yassssssss 👌🏻💯🙌🏻🤘🏻
MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
6:32 when you finally get to the bathroom and get your pants down
Lol
Oli sykes is wrongfully hated and is extremely underrated. Period..
that man has a beautiful vocal tone, the only problem he keeps on facing is hitting those notes because of his past styles. he knows how to use his voice perfectly.
@@bloomgums4281 exactly
YES
@@bloomgums4281 He can't sing. It's mostly vocal processing
@@TheCleansingx he definitely can sing live, but it's obvious that he has trouble controlling his voice to hit the notes right enough.
This just makes me appreciate Olis voice even more. He's amazing live.
And great video; I'm learning a lot.
16:09 When you're listening to metal and suddenly your dad enters the room.
(I'm sorry!)
This is a great video Chris, I'm a singer with 5 years of experience but I still couldn't figure out what Oli and many other singers do at 12:15, and now finally I'm able to do that thanks to you! Its the kind of distortion I always looked for, and many of my friends have it naturally and after 5 years of trying I thought it was just something genetic.. apparently not! Thanks a lot!
is it a fry scream ?
Oil’s vocals live are SICK! Their production is on point and his screams just pierce through to your soul
Im happy to see someone who appreciates his diffrent styles and not just one people give him shit for his voice but he has laryngitis from all that screaming he did in the past
4:19 HES GOING EVEN FURTHER BEYOND
Wow I never Expected this video Olivier Sykes is a Legend
Definetly man my favorite singer so far
This video is awesome. You got me nailing the brick by brick by brick line, and throw me to the wolves/throne really well. Your examples and style of coaching us into the pitch/scream is just incredible and always makes so much sense to me. I'm gonna invest in your course. You deserve all the support you can get from the UA-cam community. :) Take care!
3:54 this got me good
Probably one of the best vocal technique tutorial channels on the internet. For real man. Had the pleasure of going to Melissa Cross in person back in 2005 and I have been searching to find someone who puts out similar information where you're not tearing yourself apart. Thanks for this! It's helping me get my aggressive vocals back after 15 yrs out of the game
That’s great man! Glad you’re enjoying the content!
This video is FANTASTIC. I've been learning and practicing screams for years and this is BY FAR the most comprehensive video series i've seen on the subject. Keep on man, we all appreciate you greatly!!
Great to hear!
You are absolutely a genius describing how internally our voice works,i just discover how to actuslly use the fslse cords and how thry help to create distortion in uour high notes,cresting thsn agressiveness in your voice,uou really deserve more recognition
Wow you actually made it! I requested this on one of your vids a while back. Thanks for listening!
You bet!
Thanks so much for doing this one! Love Oli's vocals
Awesome vid. Great dissection of technique and sound!
Just saw BMTH live for the first time and they were awesome and really musically inspiring.
Watching this was really helpful for the singing technique.
another great one! Thanks, Chris, this really helps dial into the way he sings!!
You're really good at explaining this stuff! I've been able to scream for a good while but it's nice watching your videos knowing I'm doing it right
Sweet! :)
Omg thank you for doing Ludens! I was listening to it this morning and thinking I would love to hear this broken down because there's SO much going on.
You’re amzing dude! Proud to you!
Been waiting for this one!
Hell yeah wanted this for so long from you!
Oh my god thank you. Finally! I've been waiting for this.
Sweet!
I love your videos and the way you explain. Thank you for your work! 🔥
Good luck
Once again a great video Chris! Keep it up :)
Please do a video on how to sing like M. Shadows
Filmed, edited and ready to be shared with the world :)
@@chrisliepe Yay!
Thank you so much for accepting my request and making this video.♥️thank you
Of course!!
@@chrisliepe bro,I'm a beginner any video suggestions for beginners
Amazing as always, couldn't do it but doesn't matter, love your content
Awsome video as usual, keep up the great work Chris you're doing an amazing job ! ;)
This helped a ton. I was using too much false chords and not enough compression, and couldn't get a melody going.
Can you do a video on David Draiman from Disturbed? I'm starting to think it's all compression, but I can't do the low notes or even get anywhere near as clean. His voice during interviews are higher pitched and pure, I wonder if it's vocal layering or something, but he did sound of silence live so idk
His range is actually quite low I remember.
Dude this is the video I’ve been looking for. That edge I’ve been trying to reach I could never find but you describe it so well I found it!
Holy crap dude you have an amazing scream, I am having a ton of difficulty learning this but your tutorials are great.
Thanks so much!!
this is gonna get all the views 🔥
I've been watching screaming videos for years and I feel like your the only person who's made it make sense
Great to hear!
I enjoyed the lesson like always. Thank you Chris!
Right on!
How to sing like adam gontier🙌👍
Brilliant, insightful and incredibly informative as always Chris! Would love a video on Tim Mcilrath from Rise Against, or Serj Tankian. Would also kill for a video on the type of light growl on top of vocals that Frank Turner has live. It’s something Ben Kowalewicz of Billy Talent, and Billie Joe Armstrong have started doing live as they’ve gotten older too.
My vocal chords snapped and i just let my bandmates sing. I think i finally nailed Olis style of singing !
haha... don't follow THAT path!! :)
No...
I was not expecting a video like this, I like it though
I can't help but laugh when you do the singing because it's so out of left feild but I love it. Great video.
you taught me how to scream. love you man!
Brilliant stuff as usual!
by the way, it would be amazing if you could do a video focused on the false chord engagement!! I don't really have trouble doing fry screams anymore but it seems that low growls with a fry technique can only go so low while vocalists that use false chords seem to reach demonic lows! Would love to hear your take on it 👍🏻
Love it dude, awesome and informative vid, but I wish you would've talked about their older stuff also lol.
Thank you for explaining so much about the Body Feel of it, i tend to get really confused and unsure about that stuff.
Great video!
I just recently, maybe within the past two days or so, gotten past the hurdle for pitchless fry screams. The way I finally found it was actually to drop the attempts to go so high before engaging distortion. My voice is pretty low, far lower than most of the screamy singers out right now, so I found it at a much lower note before it ever got comfortable.
I’m glad to hear that!! Congrats!
You just earned a new sub mah dude
Great work and love your videos man! Haven't followed or watched your stuff long, but I'd love to see a video on Rory Rodriguez from Dayseeker and his vocal approach.
“PISSSSSSSSSSSSS”
chino moreno next!!
YES
Pretty PLEASE YES!
oh that's a good one!
Yes!!!!!!
YES this one's an incredible choice
Such quality content! Thank you :)
:)
Dude, I fucking love you so much. It's 6 AM here and I couldn't go to sleep because I was learning so much with you. Hero.
it seems like you read my mind, Sam Carter and oli Sykes are by far my favorite Vocalists.
Much love Chris!
How to Scream like Joel Birch from Amity Affliction would be amazing and so would Ahren Stringer, the clean vocalist has such unique cleans.
6:37 hahaha "PIIIISSSS!!!"
😂😂 Great video though
I'm very into Oliver's voice lately and Chris Liepe never disappoints! I'd like to see your take on Ronnie from FIR and Heafy from Trivium (I'm thinking Beyond Oblivion era)
You the man Chris!
you're so much help man thnku freakin savior
Por favor nunca pare de fazer videos nesse estilo
Que bom! Obrigado!!
I love you for this
Greetings from Philippines. Been watching your vids lately. Keep it up! ✌
Awesome!! :)
Love you vids Chris. Would love to see a vid on Four Year Strong if possible.
wish i could after watching this. awesome.
i'll try
Nice! You always make these videos interesting and informative!! Maybe a video about Cory Brandan from Norma Jean?
I think video how to sing like Tyler Carter from issues would be awesome, becose in my option his singing is amazing. Great video by the way.
Bro, I needed that
Genial! Me gusta aunque no hable inglés, he aprendido mucho con tus videos
Objetivo: No MASTURBARME
Ubstucálo :boyoyoy señor sisisi taco sombrero
I got pretty close recently by belting high notes with some vocal fry in there, but kind of "freeing up space" for me to access a mix up in that range, at the same time as using a lot of vocal cord compression with that afore mentioned vocal fry, it allowed me to alternate between clean notes and distorted notes using no more than a slight intensity change, then somewhere along the lines it "fell" into false cord instead of vocal fry, kind of like my vocal fry helped me find my false cords xD great videos man! you really know what your talking about, and it was curious to see you recommend similar things!
That’s cool to hear!! Thanks for sharing this.
Oliver é um grande produtor disso ninguém pode duvidar. Ainda vai mudar muito o cenário musical futuramente
When you stub your toe 4:20
Brandon Fares
It just had to be @ 4:20! :-P
Can confirm
Tim McIlrath from Rise Against woud be awesome ! This singer sings actually quite high but he gets this dark timber I cannot find where to place it !
Thanks for all
My wife just walked In on this with a seriously concerned look on her face... Like wtf are you doing.... Lol no words...

Finally !!! Thnks you approve my req chris :) Good Job !!!
:)
I appreciate you doing this for us but I can only imagine sitting outside that room hearing you record this video lol
“ShhhOoWWWWooooOwwww”
Love it man!
There were a couple Moments in the Video where I started laughing like 4:16 but I really enjoyed the Video alot and I learned alot from it thank you Chris keep up the great Job you will blow up soon on UA-cam i'm pretty sure 🤟
Awesome!! :)
Lol sempiturnal profile pic
holy shit dude, i consider myself like really not much into music at all, but you really make it understandable, even for the one with no grip in this things :D
Cool!! :)
I would love to hear this kind of break down/explanation of the acoustic version of "rise" by a skylit drive. Great videos!
6:33
When u walk your dog and he's taking too long to find a spot to pee on.
Great vid ! Thank you as always. Oli is my favorite singer next to Chester Bennington. Glad u already made vids on both of then ❤💞
Bro I'm fucking dying at this comment hahahahah
It's awesome that week by week you bring analysis of singers that I'm currently studying on my singing classes. And it's kinda creepy 'cause it seems you're following my steps hahaha Just kidding, thanks a lot for that. Your videos are helping me a lot!
I know you mostly bring big and famous singers here but maybe you could make an analysis of Jonny Craig both on Emarosa and solo career. His voice and singing style are great and so different.
Thanks!
Haha! Cool!!
Love this! Like, really
Can you make one about phill bozeman? That would be great
Amazing vídeo! Great job
Thank you!
Lovin the videos, man! I wonder could you go in depth like this for Pete from Chevelle?
you've just makin me discover some better technique to scream . thanks
You’re welcome!
haha that was quick - You could do 2 videos on Australian band Northlane - old singer (Adrian) - new singer since rot/node (marcus) - I know you will have a lot of fun with the cleans of marcus - but I kinda dare you to try unpack adrians work on singularity if you are able to
Adrian used way more of yelling. Marcus uses fry screams for his screams 100% of the time. You can even see it live, Adrian screamed super loud (if compared to his clean parts) while Marcus screams quieter than his cleans (live). I would say, I like Adrian on screams but Marcus on cleans. I don’t like how Marcus does screams, sounds too poor and quiet and “fake” live
Try Marcus Bridge from Northlane please!
And dude thank you so much, these are for sure the BEST VIDEOS of singing of all time. You are a perfect teacher! This kind of stuff help me a lot and I am sure other young vocalists too!
So glad you're enjoying them so much!! I love to dig in and make them... I learn a ton in the process... so it's wonderful to hear that people are getting value out of them!
We need that Spencer Sotelo/Periphery video! So much we can learn from him!
I would love to see you break down some of those stuff that Kyo does, please :x
So much thanks Chris
Glad you enjoyed it!
Please do a video on how to scream like Ryan Kirby of Fit For A King!
I would love that
Yes! Please! That dude is an insane screamer!
I've watched this once, I've watched this twice, I've watched this a thousand fucking times
It never ends
It never ends
THANK YOU SO MUCH
