Thanks man I’m a small one man band and this helps me everyday especially all of your videos u have helped me improve my voice so much since I started watching u
Hello Sir I love the videos. Could you cover common signs that you're injuring your voice? For example, the day after practicing a difficult vocal line, you feel like you have strep throat.
Every time a Chris Liepe video shows up in my feed I gotta apologize to my neighbours for what I’m about to try
Haha!! YES!!!
@@chrisliepe better to text your landlord an apology than to not properly support your voice 🙏
Same here 😂
I use my car trips to work to practise
I moved to the country cause of Chris Liepe
I find it funny that after that same performance Dave went "ouch, my throat hurts" lol
I thought about that too, haha. But, to Chris' point, Dave still went in and out of the distortion to pace himself and get through the song. So even if the distortion hurt, he still budgeted well enough to not trash his voice.
Easily the best singer and teacher around , thanx Chris
💯
yep. I've just arrived from a 30 minute compression / fry scream practice, and I couldn't have gone much longer let alone a day of studio work like this. Big truth is that yes they're blowing their voices out in the studio and we listen to that version and just go like "HOOOOOLYYY SHT I'll never be able to sing like that". They don't either. Chester didn't go full animal on Faint live.
Yep! This is the biggest takeaway I think!! We've got to stop practicing while constantly comparing ourselves to studio recordings!
@@chrisliepe exactly. I've been really stepping up my singing and only watch live performances for that (and your videos).
Not to mention the only way those singers only ever sounded that good in the studio that ONE TIME because they spent countless hours improving their singing by playing countless gigs at like 60-70% effort most of the time. You are basically testing your limits when practicing and performing and pushing them when you’re recording and I think that saves you a lot of heartache as a new singer trying to record but hating your voice.
It’s much better to put the time into singing through entire songs from beginning to end, listening back, improving until it’s good (perfect is the enemy of good) and then learning/writing something new and repeating.
It should be noted that during James Hetfield's prime, he wasn't singing sustainably. His signature sound from the 80s and early 90s was him abusing his vocal cords.
In my opinion, James sounds better now than he ever has.
@@djevon4853 James sounds fucking amazing
It’s so important to see live performances.
Very helpful and spot on. Most vocal teachers won't teach you this as it's usually hard enough learning how to belt and get a solid clean voice for pop music and there's a bit of snobbery and stigma about using distortion as a crutch to hide a bad voice.
Hetfield until early 90s he was singing with the exact same way as the studio recordings,he was never pulling back. That's why he damaged his voice but also that's why we have witnessed concerts, like Seattle and
San Diego. This guy was raw power on stage back in the day.
Yes because he used false chords and we all know false chords lead to vocal damage. It is very wrong technique to use (altho it is easy and sounds well)
If James larned how to fry instead of false chords he would still be able to do it nowadays. We can look at Chester Bennington, Eric Burdon or Layne Staley. Their raspy voice is a fry distortion and they could last hours doing it.
Chester even has a 17 second fry scream on "given up" live, while sining a D5 underneath all that compression.
@@GeorgeCardoso-mh2ei because he didn't rely on any vocal techniques , the same goes to his guitar playing (endlessly raw downpicking) he was so unique.
Chester Bennington and Layne Staley great vocalists i love them both,but i don't think that they ever were so aggressive as James in Seattle. And im talking aggressive with their voices. James never pulled back those days he was singing even on the soft parts, with distorted - raspy voice while the other two,were doing what Chris is showing us on that video.
@@GeorgeRasoulisMusic Yeah true, but Layne was constantly hitting A5s and above for 2 hours :D Metallica songs are not that high in pitch apart from a few exceptions but I get what you mean. James Hetfield really was destroying his voice, it´s a miracle we can still see him live nowadays
@@GeorgeCardoso-mh2ei I don't think that Layne was hitting A5
(without head voice technique), this is falsetto note for a manly voice. You can do it too and hitting these kind of notes for days without hurting your voice. I feel that , what Hetfield was doing back in early 90s was more difficult. Freddie Mercury was doing the same and he was tiring his voice so much when Queen had many shows, while Adam Lambert uses techniques that helping him last for more shows , but the final outcome isn't even close to Mercury's voice. Another singer who hits these high notes for an entire tour without problems , was Mat Barlow , but we are talking about falsetto notes. I think Hetfield's highest note is B5 he haven't past that limit,but the uniqueness of his voice is his aggression. There's where the others lacking and that's why he destroyed his voice and in "Cunning stunts" DVD you can listen how much damage has done to his vocal chords.
Im not insisting about anything,im just separating apples from oranges and by hitting a higher note from another singer doesn't mean that you pushing your vocal chords nor sounding more
powerful - raw - aggressive.
Every time im watching Metallica concert in Seattle,im saying there's nothing more aggressive and melodic at the same time than Jame's voice. The same thing im saying about Bennington, he has the best screams , in studio and live.
@@GeorgeRasoulisMusic Layne was defo belting those A5s :D Layne and Kurt Cobain are two singers that belted the sh`t out of it. You can watch the channel "crazy singing" here on youtube, the guy explains wich singers use head voice and wich used belted chest in detail
Once again, I fucking love this guy! Best vocal teacher ever like for real I'm not kiss assing he has such a open-minded and diverse look at vocal techniques and music and If something is important in music, it is open-mindedness and a unsatiable curiosity. This man is a perfect musician.
For 5 years you've been churning out banger after banger in terms of informative educational vocal content. Thank you for making this content mostly free over the years and for educating me and many other's on how to utilise our voices properly.
Without your knowledge, I probably wouldn't have a voice to sing with today. Again, thank you Chris!
Chris breakdowns of someones voice is just mind blowing. It really opens my ears and mind to see & feel how much layers there is in a persons singing.
I started recording recently and I gotta say it’s a different kind of pressure to get your distorted vocals right when you have your bandmates staring at you.
I feel like I can mimic almost any note, sound, tone, and distortion on the radio while I’m alone driving. I get so excited about it and go in the house and try to show my wife what I can do and then I just look like a fool. Can’t replicate it at all.
Again, Chris helps us to alleviate performance tension by focusing on the freedom of variation and creative fun - which greatly increases the performance in multiple ways along the way. Thanks once more, Chris!!!
Good one, Chris! So easy to forget this stuff when doing show after show on a long tour.
I believe that Chester Bennington might be one of the few vocalists that does almost everything he does in studio when performing live. And even him steps back in a few moments to deliver an overall great performance live in a way he doesn’t destroy his voice. Great video Chris!
If you really study the studio vs. live you can definitely hear a 'pull back' and a budgeting going on. I actually have a new video about Chester coming out very soon!!
I've often noticed how singers will not lean quite so much into distortion and budget it when performing live, this video explains why. Except Kelly Jones from Stereophonics, he plays with the vocal intensity in general but always seems to have such a natural and effortless rasp.
Another banger of a video from the best vocal coach on youtube. Thanks Chris!
I used the zen of screaming, which helps me to sing and scream without hurting my vocals. People expect me to use distortion when singing Metallica. But I don’t make that habit, I sing cleanly and then eventually I work my way up to sing distorted eventually
I really liked the verbiage you used, “they don’t have to budget their voice in the studio”. It makes a lot of sense!
4:36 LOVE these bits on every video. I aspire to be this free with my voice and all its quirks 🖤
as a performer i've always wondered if the audience appreciates the fact that i change vocal posture (head voice, mixed voice, chest voice, fry, and some screams). so i'm happy to see that this video validates vocal variety and what i do live. thank you Chris for all the wonderful tips and tricks over the years!
This is some thing i just recenetly started internalizing when working in other rock singers styles in my own songs and singing. Not every note has to be loud or distorted... only certain notes in a phrase need to have that emphasis that get the job done. Robert plant and cornell and chester did this so well too, also just is fun to have dynamics on top
Pearl Jam - "Animal" - Nice! Take care Chris 💕
Love this. Playing around like this has been so crucial for me personally. I’ll do this kinda of stuff with all sorts of songs pretty much everyday. It’s a great way to feel out and explore your voice, build stamina, and most importantly for me, keep the practice fun.
And Chris does not care if it sounds stupid or funny. He dials it in like a pro and you can hear it. Chris is the best vocal instructor on YT.
Spot on man! I started singing about 3 years ago after getting back into bass after a 15 year hiatus.
I damaged my voice bad last tear trying to push my limits when I just wasn’t strong enough to sustain those gravelly parts & attempting to by Rob Halford too early in my practices as well. Im lucky I recovered & thanks to you & Ken Tamplin & my first vocal coach, Elizabeth Zerhoff, I learned how to do it like that! So thank you all for the free advice. I can sing everything from The Beatles to All Guns Blazing yo Waylon, Willie & the Boys down in Lukenbach, TX. But dan it’s been quite the journey so far. Its way different than living in the rhythm section.
You're an extraordinary singer and teacher, thank you for sharing your expertise with us.
Hey Chris.
Since I subscribed to your channel a long time ago I learned so much of my voice. I can sing practically anything with or without distortion. I found out I can perfectly sing soundgarden, Audioslave, Mudvayne, Slipknot, these that are more heavy are easy for me. I discovered my voice and I am on my way to 39 years old. Forgot to mention tool, a perfect circle and many other bands. Rammstein too. Idk man I guess I'm blessed 🤷🏻♂️. I can sustain my screams for 20 seconds at least. There's one problem tho only few people have witness me doing it. I'm shy when it comes to sing for other people. But for myself I do it everyday.
Believe it or not it's true.
Thanks again for these distortion tips Chris. Really informative and helps me discover more on control of my body.
You're absolutely right. I was amazed by the difference in Chester Bennington's live singing compared to the studio recordings with Linkin Park. Just as you said, performing in a recording studio is completely different from singing live. I recommend any singer to set up a DAW software, get a small audio interface and a microphone, and start recording at home. This experience offers valuable perspective, allowing you to experiment and discover the best way for you to sing.
It's funny, but Ado, who Chris often analyzes, is exactly as you recommend, and learned to sing since childhood
This is so good. So important for singers.
Excellent points as always, Chris. You never fail to teach me something cool in every video!
Thank you Chris! I needed this to save my voice
Managed to not to mention how to actually distort the voice in a healthy way. Good job!
One thing to note with live vs studio is how often the vocals can vary when it comes to distortions/high emotive parts. Most times they save it for the build up for the entirety of the concert. Occasional sprinkles, but you still have an overall crescendo/build up and a big number before the finale and possible oncor. Much easier on the vocals over burn out for an hr+ of playing/singing on a heavy lit stage. Also better for the long haul when you're touring n hitting x amount of places in x amount of time. Going every week doing high intensity just sounds insane. Rather than push yourself too hard be realistic with what is accomplishable. It doesn't have to be overly complex/high/overdone for it to be a hit. Lots of times the easier parts are the best due to the effectiveness coupled with the reliance of consistency. Dynamics always make the difference~
Varying degrees of distortion, like how Bobcat Goldthwait talks(in character).
😂
As always Chris I'm glad I watched this video. There's ALWAYS useful and applicable info in your videos.
Yeah. To sustain distortion just do it as little as possible. Moderation
Hey Chris, I think what would be a gigantic help in your videos would be one of those huge visual Decibelmeters, then people will realize that its not about volume but technique and mike technique
Okay I already commented on this video but you seem pretty engaged with your audiance. I have a question that buggs me. People on reddit say that Chino Moreno used or uses bad technique for his screams, and that's why he lost certain notes for a while and that's why he reserved to not really screaming. But whenever I listen to him, I don't hear anything wrong with his screams or compression. Seems fine to me. Regular fry screaming. I'd love your take on this.
This is a great question and one I hope to answer in various forms in future videos... Here's the thing: We can't really know if he was using bad technique or not. People jump to this judgmental, labels mindset so fast without any grounding in reality. So he lost his voice, or lost certain notes. He is a touring vocalist who is frequently asked to use his voice more than probably healthy. This doesn't mean he has or had bad technique. Maybe he did, but maybe he just did too much of a good thing a few times and didn't rest well.
This is why it so important for us to learn about our own bodies without judgement. If we are focused on sensations that feel good... not trying to force a particular sound and in tune with the amount we can do certain things as we are practicing, figuring things out, performing etc... we'll be able to have a long journey! Those people who point fingers at singers who "lost it" have no idea what they are talking about. And it's not about them anyway. Chino's technique seems good to me... But also, on the studio recordings... Seems "spendy". Doing that a lot live will drain your account quickly. If anybody is not in tune with that budgeting aspect in light of the technique they've developed... It doesn't mean it's necessarily bad technique. But it might mean that there could be more efficient ways of modifying the sensations so that things can be less spendy.
We have to get away from "good" or "bad" ... polarizing. We need to instead listen, not judge, not label, not make assumptions and experiment and explore our own bodies and sensations again without judgement, but with a full focus on awareness and possibility !!
@@chrisliepe Thanks Chris for such a great, detailed answer! I nodded my head when I read "spendy" in the studio. It's just a different game and mindset, studio and live. Let alone touring. So yeah, he's just holding back while touring back to back. You just can't go with that intensity live. I think his technique is legit, in fact one of the pioneers. He's just doing it smart live.
In an interview he himself said that he needed to rest more, and be more healthy and that his voice recovered from that.
Looking forward to those future videos man. Great channel this is.
Awesome clip of Animal there Chris
I've noticed what you teach in this video by seeing many live performances of Linkin Park. I've noticed Chester sings for example Leave Out All The Rest completely clean in many occasions with some grit here and there or in the chorus of Burn It Down he switches the parts where there's grit and where there's clean vocals because it feels better on the vocal chords and the tone is more stable too
Great video once again, Chris!
Great explanation
Lots of great advice on this channel over the years.
I don't understand why top technicians like Liepe and Tamplin always talk about cleaning it up periodically to dirty it up again.
What about singers like Chuck Billy that actually "sing" super gritty all night long and never lose their voices.
Singers like Rob Halford (up to 60), Russell Allen or Lajon Whiterspoon do the same type of thing but with more vibrato and they utilise cleans for soft sections but a good 85-90% of their live vocals are distorted.
All those singers also sound growlier then rock singers.
Are they using different resonators or techniques to get/sustain that sound??
1:53 never seen that video before
Nice video as Always
'hold my beer' -- Jeff Scott Soto
I really need you to do a video about Hot Mulligan, I've seen them live twice and he's just as distorted live as he is in the recordings and I'm curious what your take is on it, I'm not sure how much longer he's gonna be able to keep up singing the way he does but I could be wrong
Hey Chris, give The Warning a try please. You would enjoy it so much
I recently really started phoning in my vocal break distortion. I did indeed notice that practicing a specific thing like that really is hard on the voice. really makes me appreciate singers like Chester Bennington who can scream like that for 17 consecutive seconds without being phased by it.
Lots of hard work and training went into that 17 seconds. =D
😂 that’s exactly my problem when trying to rasp like Elvis did in the song if I can dream. I lose my voice and start cracking eventually
Great video. I'd like to hear you do a breakdown of Derek from sum 41 as he seems to use distortion all or most of the time in the studio but sings differently live. The newer heavier stuff I'd like to hear your take on such as rise up.
James Hetfield is a better singer than most ppl give him credit for because he uses a lot of distortion. Which there’s nothing wrong with that, he’s just an underrated singer, playing in an overrated metal band.
metallica is overrated??
@@georgijocan't wait to hear what band this guy is in... Lol
Overrated band? Really bro? I am not a hardcore fan. But overrated is a bit much.
@@Somewhatdamaged1989 well, we can say they're overrated in the sense that their discography is more fillers than masterpieces.
It doesn't mean they're overrated as a band, it's just that their repertoire is overrated.
James himself is acknowledged as the best rhythmic guitarist because of his downpicking stamina, but people are usually simpletons and take in consideration only one skill about a musician who has 2 or more skills.
At this point we can consider them as polarizing as Nirvana.
@@Somewhatdamaged1989 They can't play their instruments well, I think that counts as overrated
Thanks for your warnings Chris, now I can imitate you more carefully. 😅By the way, I wrote about it in the previous video, but let me write it down as a reminder, there is a singer I recommend, his name is Cem Adrian. I discovered it last week and it has truly incredible volume control. He covers the song Summertime and I think it's at least you check out, you wont regret it 😂 best regards 🎉
Great video as always, but it got me wondering if you’ve ever looked at Chuck Ragan of Hot Water Music. Check out their acoustic version of State of Grace. Would be fascinated to listen to a deep dive on his voice!
Hey Chris!
I'd like to say that your voice is just phenomenal and really versatile, I literally got goosebumps on some of your covers.
I'd like to ask you what you think about people having mixed voice by the get go, they just need some direction to the sounds.
Personally doing the dying cat thing always kept breaking my voice into falsetto/just a bright annoying head voice.
I'm always that pushy squeezy type.
Would you agree that some people need to build this cord closure and compression slowly? (doing edge sounds, SLS talks about it a lot)
Going into the sounds you talk about right off the bat didn't really work.. But I'm kinda noticing that this can be built with squeaky door noises on scales, and it's kinda getting me to the same tone you use!
Yes yes yes! some students need to first... REALLY lean into the sensation of proper support. This is so critical for developing that cord closure you're talking about. (my free course in the pinned comment covers this extensively). THEN... mindfully experimenting with dynamic vocal postures that help you build closure and back pressure will grow your mixed voice. I can help you with this in my course Discover Your Voice!
@@chrisliepe Thank you for your response! So building the edge coordination is only temporary?
I will definitely look into the course!
@@novakastmusicnot temporary, but coordinations need to be maintained and continually honed. :)
@@chrisliepe Gotcha, thank you for the response and the help
!
It's exactly like using a Guitar effect. Just use what works best for YOUR voice and that is sounds cool.
I do grit through soft-palate fry scream
Great stuff, I always try to apply your teachings to my rock singing. Ive mentioned it before but id be intrested to know how youd approach songs that use that distortion all the way through (ac/dc being a prime example) I try to keep it all in a compressed mixed voice. I often worry im hurting my voice, even though it feels comfortable and doesnt hurt
I sound and feel good while warming up but 2 choruses into a Lorna Shore song and my screams start to really lose their quality. Just not able to keep up with Will, as you're saying.
Can your suggestion be applied to songs that are 100% distorted sounds?
Full on screams are a different animal completely! It’s more about developing specific vocal postures and constrictions that are sustainable. The full course I’ve done with Will goes a long way to helping you develop these! Hope you get a chance to check it out!
what is this witchcraft? I clicked on your video and felt strongly compelled to drink water within the first 20 seconds and I hate water! (Ah, the vocalist teacher effect)
haha
Water is amazing, how could you hate on water?
Hey Chris, not sure if you’re taking suggestions but I’d love to hear you do a dive into the voice of daryl palumbo from glassjaw. He has such a unique and powerful voice that I think a lot of lessons could be learned from analyzing his style and techniques
Heya, new viewer here! Is there a chance you could cover how Chuck Schuldiner did his vocals on various Death records? I'm very interested in singing in multiple of those distorted styles and I'd love to see how his vocal style on say, the Human record and the Symbolic/Sound of Perseverance record differ in technique, because there are some absolutely _brutal_ high yells on Perseverance that differ a whole ton to the previous albums, and vice versa for the growling on Human and before compared to their last albums.
Damn this video is great!
Thanks for the information
One of the craziest ones is Weird Al doing Smells like Nirvana live within the past few years. He's now doing it with distortion. I do wonder if how he's doing it is safe
Chris Liepe ! I love you videos keep pushing out the amazing videos man. I hope one day you’ll analyze Connor Ferris from the band caskets that man has some pipes. And id be so interested to see what your take is on his style of singing vocals
ua-cam.com/video/QY8fTXF58XA/v-deo.htmlsi=Joi4iFtk_uKX4Lpz
Hey Chris, which of these musical styles that start with A is your favorite: ABC Mouse, Andy Grammer, Arctic Monkeys, Alice In Chains, Ace Of Base, AC/DC, ABBA, Aespa, Amy Winehouse, Avril Lavigne, Anthrax, Avenged Sevenfold, Adele and Alanis Morissette.
what a great exercise!! haha... man I don't know... ALL GREATS in that list!! Gahh... If I had to choose the one that was most enjoyable for me to just sit back and listen to, I'd probably say Amy Winehouse. CLOSE behind would be Alice In Chains and Alanis
Great video ! Met me where I’m at
Tbf, Hetfield blew his voice out completely in the 90s and he's only gradually introduced distortion back into his sound
You should check out the singer of a band called The Menzingers. Great voice
Hey Chris, Ado released her live performance of Aishite Aishite Aishite, and it's pretty wild. Could you react to that too?
Did you see you are featured in the Electric Callboy "RATATATA" reactions video? That was cool to see though!
Could u react to Ado’s life performance of aishite aishite aishite??
No matter how I try, I just can't seem to get that mixed distortion, the broad break type. Any tips Chris? Watched so many of you videos on it and I just end up feeling more frustrated than when I started.
It sounds like you're ready for a steady practice method to really hone the sensations necessary to dial it in. It takes mindful consistency while exercising in very specific ways to commit this technique to your voice. I go deep into the weeds here: www.mymusicalvoice.com/p/the-aggressive-vocalist-s-master-plan-of-attack
@@chrisliepe Thanks Chris - I was actually just looking at this! 🙂 My compression distortion is second nature now, it's more Hetfield than Grohl, but yeah that Chester/Dan Tompkins mixed vocal break distortion just evades me. I'll look into the course. Thanks again, and I love your videos!
@@IsaacBirchall You're welcome, let me know if you have any questions after looking it over more :) Thanks for watching and digging into my videos!
Great video! Talking about these singers and their use of grit an clean passages. I think a great example is also Ben from Billy Talent. I have not yet seen a good video on him anywhere and it's really hard to find some good info on him on like technique, range and so on.
What you guys think?🤘
Oh ! you sound a bit like Tonny Kakko from Sonata Arctica 😁 ( particulary in distorsion )
6:38 I´ve always wanted to have that control over my headvoice, but I find it so difficult! Could you enlighten us with some exercises to develop that control?
Thanks and yes! I’ve got many exercises to develop head voice coordination in my course Discover Your Voice. You can request an invite at chrisliepe.com. Hope to see you there!
hi cris, react to gabriel henrique singing with the choir black to black the songs: I wanna know What Love Is.
stand up.
it was incredible
I know that I’m doing it right when it feels like I’m regurgitating razor blades and I can taste blood. I like the blood. Then instead of saliva control, I’m blood bending in my larynx which adds a nice brutal texture to the tone.
Another banger 🤘🤘
Hey Chris, when I try and compression my vocal, it end up giving me a headache. It’s probably because I haven’t figured out how to control him much compression I’m using. But I’m unable to figure how to fix it. Any tips?
When I do the false chord distortion my larynx rises really high. If I'm in mixed voice and engage false chord distortion my larynx rises so high so quickly it makes a clicking sound. Is this normal?
It’s normal but not necessary! :) check out my course called “the Aggressive Vocalists Master Plan of Attack” found at mymusicslvoice.com for practice and mindfulness routines to dial distortion placement in correctly!
@@chrisliepe ok I went through "009 Summoning The In-Between with Mixed Voice & Moderation" again and I realised I hadn't developed my "cracking" mechanism enough so I was compensating by compressing too hard and pushing through too much air. That resulted in a whole lot of tension. I just needed to do the exercises in your course a few more times to hone the cracking mechanism
@@DanceWithAmpsthis is great to hear!! Thanks for sharing!!!
He’s so right with on how to approach this because you’ll burnout otherwise.
However, how does dio in some songs do it or even more ,how does Brian Johnson keep it up that many years. There must be a technique to sing like that as long as you want. Maybe it’s not pushing as much , who knows
Great lesson anyway
Maybe I’m wrong, but to me Brian Johnson sounds like he’s singing in a very forward almost falsetto or at least fully head voice. I find I can kind of imitate his sound without any irritation, though I admit it sounds more cartoony than he actually sounds. Nevertheless, I think he is a much different style than hettfield or someone.
Few days ago I was listening to Linkin Park and From the Inside song came on. By listening how Chester is singing I figured he is using lot of bounces at the end of words to position his throat for the next one.
4:10 GTA radio vibes
It's great and all but can't be really applied when there's no clean singing in your set no? Lots of metal singers (especially the black and death ones) barely even sing clean, some even only scream and let another guy in the band do the clean singing. I believe there should be a way to build lots of stamina without hurting your voice permanently, though I'm scared to try to figure it out on my own.
Hi Chris!!!
Ado-chan just uploaded her trailer of the live version of Aishite, and it sounds promising!
I'd be really happy if when it comes up (7th of June) you could react to it!
do you have advice for singing four hour marathon shows? I regularly have a couple of these two nights back to back and it kills me
Yes! See my full stamina builder workout inside my coaching program called Sing Together 365! You can find it at chrisliepe.com
And how much of the distortion is studio effects
Chris you sound like The ReV
One of my favorite vocalists!!
Dude has anyone ever told you that you sound a lot like Donald Carpenter? I’d love to hear you cover “hollow”. Please :) lol
You da mann!
Just wondering about the extreme metal singers out there who scream and growl constantly. Are they using a different technique or they are on a different level of « voice strenght »?
Screaming is very different than vocal distortion. The mechanics and how the primary cords are or are not engaged is a whole different animal. Correctly, and with training and practice, it’s totally safe to voiceless scream for long periods of time. But dining with distortion even done correctly and with good technique needs to be budgeted. Over time you might have the ability to be more constant, but we can’t build it that way safely!!
@@chrisliepe oh thank you so much for these precious information!
🙏🏻
Do you do that grit/rasp with false chords or with compression and fry?
All of those mechanisms are in place at some point. See the video linked at the end of this video for more info.
Ah Chris. I don't know if you watched the full my hero video of Dave. But after the song Dave admitted hurting his voice. Just an isolated incident but probably not safe singing video example. 😂
Yep! See the other comments and my replies. I also address this in the video itself indirectly :)
Hey Chris I have a question.
Puberty hit me like half a year ago and whenever I try to practise fry scream/shouting in general and If I try to do it a little bit higher,there only comes air and I can't hear my voice anymore.
Have you got any tricks or tips how I can solve this problem or do I have to wait until my puberty is mostly over?
I'd recommend to take it easy with the harsh vocals till your voice is done changing. In the mean time practice other aspects of your voice.
Okay thanks I'll do that then!
I wish I had learned about “mixed voice” at a young age instead of when I was 38 years old. I lost so many years thinking I had too small of a vocal range to be a good singer, and only in the last couple of years did I learn to use a register I didn’t know existed. It has been life changing. I envy the time you have available to learn such things.

So basically less is more
I know want you saing i know we are not Ronnie but what about him Ronnie James Dio u know he he sings and how he sings live he was singing till his death
