- After years of frustration and tension associated with my upper chest voice notes... When I internalized how Chris Cornell sang this one line... My low and middle mix finally clicked for me!

hello! I am well aware that you most likely won't come across this comment, but i wanted to recommend something for you to react to. Considering you've been going down the japanese music rabbit hole, i think it'd be nice if you covered one of the most influential genres, and the one of the bands that is most popular for it. Visual kei is a genre in japan, and one of the major bands was 'Malice Mizer'. I think it'll be really interesting for you to cover, since everything from their music to their visuals is extremely interesting. They had several vocalists over the years, but the Gackt era was the most important ones. I'd recommend you start with songs like 'Bel Air', 'Le Ciel', 'Gekka No Yasoukyoku', 'Au Revoir' or 'Aegean'. I think it'll be something very interesting for you to analyze, since they don't get much recognition nowadays. Hoping to see your input on them soon!!
(i apologize if my english is not the best)
"When we throw that resonance back" Quack quack Chris the duck🦆😅 love it
There is a Cornell cover band called "Superunknown. "... you can plainly hear the singer doing this on live performances... When I tuned into it, I realized that was the 'trick'... DGMW, Cornell is still Cornell ...
Cornell was the most technically proficient Grunge singer, but it's important to write things that will make your voice shine and bring out the best aspects of your own voice. For Cornell, that was the piercing screams and power/brightness in the high range. For Layne Staley it was something else. For Eddie Vedder it was another aspect. Everyone should develop their range, but it should be accessed in a way that accentuates the unique and best qualities of your own biological voice. I'm no Cornell or Chris Liepe but this concept helped me write vocals where I sound decent at least
Good statement but we really have to know ourselves to dive in that aspect of what makes your voice shine
I have come to this realization in the past few days and it has skyrocketed my confidence in singing and writing my own music
I was just working on this today, listening to the isolated vocals track, and this vid came up recommended. I feel so boss having figured it out myself - restrict nasal flow, raise the jaw muscles a bit for some brightness, let the tongue relax to close the throat a bit just like an opioid addict would. Nailed it. I love this song.
BRO. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED. EVERYTHING IS GOOD EXCEPT THE LOW PARTS OF MIX… THANK YOU CHRIS!!!
Cornell was a bloody god
Bro this is hilarious I found exactly what you are explaining trying cocaine recently through that experience I noticed that when I sang Paul McCartney my vocals were closer to that on the record so I went on google and learned he experimented with cocaine during the time they were working on Sgt. Pepper. I wouldn't recommend my way its not the healthiest but it really helped me in finding that resonance basically bare your teeth as much as you can and smile as bright as possible while flaring your nostrils as much as you can you want to look as manic as possible it will feel strenuous at first but eventually it will become second nature been doing it substance free for a couple days now and now I can get aggressive without really getting loud I love it.
That song in particular helped me to improve my vocal technique a lot
THANK YOU!!!!!!
We have a similar passagio, and I too have struggled with this line FOR YEARS.
YOU RAWK!! 🔥🤘🏽🔥🤘🏽
Now this is some golden advice.
I have not got any vocal lessons but this is somehow a child's play for me
Amazing explanation for something I've always loved about Chris's singing but never exactly knew what it was.
I miss that mans voice more than anyone. A lifetime of music cut short.
I would add too another key thing tonally is it feels fuller because it ends in chest. So switching to a mix for the higher note and coming back makes the whole line feel thicc
Thanks to reveal the secret sauce behind these gems and fantastic explanations as always many blessings to you!
Thanks for all this marvelous free content
You nailed this Chris! Thank you.
The acoustic songbook version of I am the highway, Fell on black days and Wide awake did it for me
Jesus man! You nailed it! This is Chris!
Wow, amazing, you really unlocked it
Holy shit. Solid observation
Great video, whenever i am singing cornell vocals i always have a mental mantra of vocal health and not reaching too hard, the reason he was able to do this for years is because he knew his voice well and respected the voices limits with a work smarter not harder attitude. Love the content as always❤️

THANK YOU!!! I'M YOUR BIGGEST FAN EVER. I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO SING THIS WAY DISCOVERING MY OWN VOICE
So helpful brotha! Amazing work
Great stuff Chris, this is very helpful. Hope things are well with your mom😊 amazing buddy 🤘
Your work sharing these videos and researching these new approaches to understanding the greatness of Chris Cornell's singing is just priceless man. Thank you
Chris, thank you for doing this. I was able to unlock this sound by watching this video and it felt awesome!!!💪
Game changing advice!
Great insight Chris, thanks for sharing.
So precious tip !
❤ way to go, Chris!
Hey Chris, great video you help me a lot with finding new things in my voice that i didnt even know existed. I love these type of analysis on people's voices because they help me also figure out myself.
I have been struggling to find out how to add (non painful) grit into my chest voice and controlling mixed voice distortion feels so hard aswell.
Would love to see a video about that,
cheers
Amazing video as always, thank you.
Incredible mate, thank you
This is an amazing insight. The lack of backing off on nasal placement in the low range though I think is actually what defined alice in chains as a slightly more abrasive vocal style in the same style of singing. This video is super helpful as I've been trying to figure out how to extend my chest voice into mix with compression!! Genius explanation of a genius singer.
It’s funny how hard low mix was for me. I’ve really hit a breakthrough when I realized how much influence the tongue has on all of it. I was told all the time to drop the tongue, when really I needed to be RELAXING it. Actively forcing your tongue down is just adding tension, exactly what you don’t want going into mix. With a relaxed tongue, you begin to able to open your throat and create space naturally. It’s a weird feeling…like talking with only the top half of your head intact. Like you’re Terrence and Philip or something.
1000 Yesssss's ...All these "shoulds" we blindly follow about our voice and approach just ADD TENSION!! Be free... Just relax and let your body do what it does as you freely play with your voice! The tongue is just one example... but there are so many more!
@@chrisliepe You know how you have a mind-muscle connection when lifting weights, getting that isolation? I think about singing like I’m a snake (or dragon) opening the back of my throat to shoot poison. I gently compress my vocal cords, keep the tongue relaxed (I stop thinking it’s even there!) and the sensation is almost like I’m about to swallow my own throat, except my tongue is completely out of commission like a dead organ and my jaw is slacked
I’m learning more and more that going up in pitch shouldn’t feel like going up, but instead you’re sinking BACK and thinning out. I’m still experimenting with things and I feel like I’m almost there! I even am getting to know which warm-up exercises put me in that zone the fastest. There’s just one part of my mix where I lose my cord closure and start “frying” where I need to release. I want a better chest voice too, so I have some work cut out for me. If I can figure these little sticking points out…I KNOW I can go pro with this. I’m getting really close man. Been watching your videos for, God, 5 years or more? It was well before the algorithm was really pushing you out there. You and Ken Tamplin are such huge inspirations to me! You guys are immortal
The Crow is back
That's so funny.
Same wave, brother - we be on.
That very passage did a similar thing to my intuitive presence in all this, as well.
No sh$&, real deal. [But - i gotta admit - it wasn't the video version ] Burden showcases, or isolates a similar contrast of technique - per register/style considerations.
Love it! Either and every which way.
As much as i have enjoyed learning 'proper' technique via Opera guys and the like - they will never get this. They call it doing the Elmo and whatnot. [going into higher notes with compression and affect] therefor - to make an important distinction against the difference =
I refer to our craft as being Microphonists. & [take Black Hole Sun vs Beyond The Wheel for instance] it is all about what pleases the ear, NOT the standards of some ancient academy [again, as much as I DO value that train of thought and praxes] or range topping effort, alone.
It would not be helpful for someone to miss this impermeable difference in schools of trade and craft along our way.
Love u and this, Chris.
Kindred Spirit - thee and thy.
Thanks for you work and great videos Chris!
Nothing More -piano version- "you don't know what love means" request???
In my personal experimentations we have 2 scenarios to distort this mid mixes. 1. You put a lot of air and go to a phaser aproach 2. The second one is to strangle and go for a more Sreamo approach. (they mix with each other in the super highs). Anyway it's reallly clear for me that the second scenario fits in here. Though Cornell uses both of them is this song
When he sings "night", I think he closes the throat and opens it when the whole air is there; like an explosion, don't you think?
Yes!
I tried experimenting with this in the morning in the car, but I think I was doing something wrong, my voice kinda got "smoothed out" (in a bad way). This evening I tried singing again but I can't produce any distortion and I sound so wholesome
I see the name Cornell and the name Liepe and I’m SO THERE ❤️
request Ado Backlight or Ado Fleeting Lullaby
Es un placer verte trabajar. Gracias por exponerte sin inhibiciones! es muy generoso de tu parte
love the explanation and this different approach... now the question is how do I make it sound nearly as good :D
Cover this one too bro! ❤😃😃
The voice you should truly review is Henning May from AnnenMayKantereit (AMK) he is young but has a very gritty voice that made their Toms Diner Cover with Giant Rooks go viral. If your prefer to hear them sing in their native tongue german try “Ich geh heut nicht mehr tanzen” in it’s Proberaum Session (means rehearsal room session), those version are always a treat as it’s a relaxed atmosphere that invites for being more experimental, than studio version or live versions.
F*** ur good ! Your clips are getting better all the time. I wonder if you can explain vocal wise in the phil Colin’s separate lives song , in the “oooh” its so typical part, the “u” enunciation in italian pushes to a sharp C maybe, which I find hard to do, but if I add a y in front making it a staccato “you”. Its easier to do ? Why? Whats in that constant or vowel that makes it easier ? Of course it’s not you, but oooh ! And do u recommend these vocal tricks to try and help us train the vocal cords to reach something that we’re trying to do? Thks.
Excellent. Thank you. Amazing how sounds that are (eventually) transcendently powerful can begin with an ugly duckling of a quack. ✌️🎸✌️
I may be getting somewhere. My range is from Mr. Grinch, to Evenflow. Ive tried my whole life to extend my range. I dont think you are wrong. I just think some people are natural singers and have already reached their full range. Ive examined all kinds of techniques. I found the classical techniques to be over exaduraded versions of what comes natural. Nobody taught a lot of great singers. Some just sound like a pro, at 7yrs old.
Boa noite Chris. Tdb? Estou com saudades da sua reação A GABRIEL HENRIQUE..... TEM TRES MUSICAS cover.....mas 😁...please.....😘
❤❤❤❤
Throw the the resonance back? Interesting, I would have said higher larynx, but I don’t know what I’m talking about.
I'm doing this naturally oO It's strange to belt it like this for me.
In the night goes Pinky then !
If you don't adjust your placement, you end up with.....Jimmy Cagney. lol
Top tips as always, Chris. ;)
Does throwing the sounds back work for rnb or pop vocals. Do you have any examples of you demonstrating that. Thank you for this awesome explanation.
oh man... YES that's where Cornell learned this! Check out my video on "singing the blues" or any of the videos I've done on Whitney Houston. :)
@@chrisliepe thx bro! I’m taking your discover the voice course. Love your approach!
Awesome! Thank you! :) See ya in the course!!

Would you say A4 is close to your chest voice? I've always thought you were a baritone, and your break happened near E flat, maybe E on a good day.
