"How To Find Your Voice & Let It Kill You"
www.mymusicalvoice.com/p/how-...
Learn to develop runs and agility in your voice with Jonny Craig! Here's more about Jonny's free course!
Few vocalists have had the opportunity to collaborate with and front three successful bands. Not many singers can span genres with their vocal chops and melody sense like Jonny can.
There have been many opportunities and obstacles... And in the midst of (and largely because of) battles with addiction and direction, Jonny continues to grow and discover new ways his voice can work for him.
Does he do calculated exercises? No. Does he have special concoctions that keep his voice in shape? No. Has he ever studied with someone or 'trained' in his voice? No.
He has learned through listening, borrowing, acting on inspiration and leaning into musical energy in unique ways.
He has cracked the code on how to connect emotional intensity, struggle and soul-digging mind/body connection.
His result has been a textured, agile and simultaneously angelic and chaotic voice that continues to be refined and featured in all sorts of great music.
As you join us for this free course... What will YOUR result be? Sign up to find out...
Jonny is looking so much healthier and as a recovering addict myself I cant even express how happy that makes me.
I wish you all the best on your journey brother you’re killing it 🤘
Nice thought but why even bring it up
@I Don't Care So, Jon Griswold mentioned JC looking much better since his recovery, and knows well what that’s like speaking from his own personal experience(s), I’m sure you can remember how I responded….
..so now,
..why are drug addicts funny?
@I Don't Care I think this guy has lost it
@I Don't Care
Nope. 😁
Need to make loop of Chris going "yayayayayaya" and Johnny just nodding in agreement.
LMFAO
Your wish is my command..

@@NukemNash OMG THANK YOU 😂😂
@@NukemNash Holy shit, that's hilarious! Now, can you make a ring tone?
im laughting a lot dude hahahaha, but awesome leasson, no shame
gotta love how chill they are about Jonny being kicked out of bands, jonny has truly accepted his past and moved on, beautiful to see
Chris is the best coach online cause he isn’t afraid to sound ridiculous on camera if it means finding a way to sound great in the long run.
That's why Chris is the greatest because he is not self conscious
Still one of the best singers to this date. Fuck everything but music, OG. Solid video.
Far lol landon tewers is the best
@@ItsdaFittySimp doubt, ha.
@@ItsdaFittySimp I think he’s very creative but realistically he could not compete with this guy with the style of music that he does. Totally two different artists and you can’t rly compare a lot of musicians because people are unique to their craft. Especially if they make it their own. Both of these dudes are good examples of that.
@@gar50172 lol be quiet
Jonny Craig is hands down my favorite singers and is one of the best singers ever in my opinion. I'm happy to see his vocal techniques getting more attention. I have been waiting for a video like this year for years.
jonny: ooooyeahhhheahhhhhoooooo
chris: uhhyyyuhyuhyuhyuhuhyuhyuhyuh
💀💀💀💀💀
My dad has met, and toured, with Jonny and from all the stories I've heard he's an amazing person and it makes me feel good to see him back to his healthy self
Hell yea
"Well we're not here to talk about that" 😂😂😂😂😂
Man jonny looks calm and healthy. He puts off an amazingly calm and kind vibe. You can truly see his immense progress, and I for one am proud to see this transformation. I’ve still got faith in this great human, just as each one of us should have faith in humanity as a whole.
i'll always say it, despite his past and all the controversies around him, he is literally my favorite singer. his voice is just insanely good and he KNOWS it too.
The guy has a controversial past but I absolutely adore his voice. The timbre, control, and emotion are all amazing!
definitely, don't really want to the cancel culture bandwagon which has become trendy. There famous personality most of them are dead already that has covered their issues because of their greatness
his voice goes beyond, he had a shitty past but he is insane good. Emarosa "fox album" is perfect from start to finish
Johnny has a very soft speaking voice but his singing voice, while still being light, is a lot more full. I definitely needed this video.
I can easily sing like that yes it’s definitely hard taken from his old bandmates in slaves they all heard me sing before and they said I definitely have the same abilities and stretching with runs
@@izzybabyx66 Great! Where can we hear your voice?
@nickh I'm pretty sure that's the homie from Amarionette, check them out hes a dope singer
@@izzybabyx66 I watched your videos, I don’t see a single resemblance in your voice to Jonny Craig’s. I’ve been singing for almost 9 years. You use a software for pitch correction, and some of your other stuff is clearly auto-tuned. Even with both of those effects your tone is just not that great at all. Not to mention the notes your hitting are not very high and you sound like someone who’s is just learning how to sing. I watched every single one of your videos, and there isn’t any versatility in any of them. Keep learning and getting better, but don’t sell a vision or tell made up stories to people it’s just embarrassing. Be honest with yourself.
@@jackshoeman1719 Great let me know when you drop some music maybe your shit might be better than mine
songs like True Colors, The Pact, Spooks, Blue Dream are my favourite and really showing how great jonny craig's voice is
Agreed. A talented man once said: "FOOOOOOOOOL, YOUR WOOORD MEEEANS SHIIIIT." 😂💀
@@dantelan-i-er5466 that line just at the start...perfect
Back in the day Jonny was recording his first solo record across the hall from the studio I was in. He popped over and actually complemented some vox I was cutting while in the booth. I always appreciated that!
Really?!
@@jimiboi87 yeah he was working with Kris Crummett in Portland and I was working with Stephan Hawkes across the hall when they both worked together in the same building. I was also around when Issues was working on their debut album with Crummett. Good times!
@@fuzzandstatic I love Kris Crummett! My buddies use to be in a band called Drop Dead, Gorgeous and they recorded their first album with him. He’s an amazing producer
@@jimiboi87 I totally remember those guys! Great band. Yeah Kris is awesome, he’s crazy talented and a really down to earth guy too.
I love that through everything, good and bad, Johnny is still so focused on singing. He's such a gifted vocalist and one of the most influential artists for me.
Literally one of the best singers, ever.
Amazing to hear Anthony Green is one of his influences. I’m obsessed with Anthony Green. Both artists have heavily influenced my vocals ❤
4:22 jonny realizing that he gave away his secret weapon lol
Love the way you break techniques down mechanically and come up with step by step learning processes. Your approach to singing and teaching has been remarkably effective, looking forward to more lessons as always 🙏
Lmao I love it reminds me of native American music thanks guys learned something new again :-)
Yes, when he started doing the mouth thing I was like “here comes Chris with the weirdness” but it works. Unconventional as usual
I’d never heard of Jonny Craig before and was floored when he sang those runs! What a voice! Now I’m obsessed with Find Your Home on Spotify. Awesome voice, so happy I found this and your channel Chris, thank you! Signed up to your free courses and I’m loving your philosophy on finding my own unique voice. All my life I just aspired to sound like so and so, but never thought I could find and sing my own uniqueness. #Grateful 🙏🏻 Love your work!
Dance Gavin Dance Downtown Battle Mountain I & II. Thank me later
@@raystonge154 yes, our buddy is in for quite the treat. A few of the Emarosa songs are real bangers too
Relativity by emarosa
Chris's voice sound more heavy and pushy. I had a big revelation when I realized, that the more "nasal and thin" and light I make my voice, the better the vocal movement.
And once I have a good grasp on very light, and easy vocal technique... then I start introducing more volume but not with pushing, but by increasing the resonance.. which needs specific practice, to hone in on.
It makes your voice sound loud and powerful yet light, without pushing at all, you find it just between your throat tone and nasal tone. You can get that by focusing on your palate.
I'v been searching for years for that tone actually, I always sounded too heavy, and wondered what is it that makes some singers voice sound so light. And in simple terms, it was using the nose and resonance more then the throat.
Great observations!
Light? Yes. Nasal and thin is always no. Your voice can be light, while taking full advantage of your resonant cavities. It's just always easier to thin it to reach a note but that's not the final goal.
For certain songs or styles its good to have that "voice" but you should be able to do both.
@@vegeta1885 Nasal and thin is just the terms I use to explain it. It's not literally nasal, but you just have to think in terms of nasal, to find it. And once you find it, you push it back toward full sounding, but keeping the new position which makes you sound more free.
So the end result does not sound nasal or weak at all, it just sounds like you are not having a hard time singing the notes.
@@vegeta1885 Chris has a video dedicated to people who think Nasal is bad. Check it out bud 💀.
I figured this out just from watching jonny and they nailed it right on the spot. This is exactly how it feels, you have a set starting point and a ending point of range you want to explore and you position the air in your lungs/mouth/throat to essentially float between notes 🎶🎶
Jonny Craig has a gift. Generational talent, generational voice.
Glad to see Jonny in this. His approach singing is very unique, his vocal in I Steel Feel Her 4 always give me goosebumps!
Chris and Johnny are the perfect examples of technicality and feel. 🙏
Mind F'n Blown! Never would've thought to try runs that way. Thanks!
It’s amazing how Chris breaks down techniques that came so natural to unicorn artists like Jonny Craig and how they seem vexed by how he’s breaking down how they sing and they way they came up with their techniques
The this course really speaks to me lol. Growing up, Jonny was a huuuge huge vocal inspiration/influence for me as I was in the early stages of "learning" how to sing and I would always get discouraged and think "you'll never sound like that." Which is true, but I'm learning to not have that deter me because of the reasons that was outlined during the course. This was cool -- I hope you guys do more in the future.
One of the most underrated singers. I'm so proud of where he is today. 🥰
The most likeable bald guy with a soul patch that I've ever seen
Well, you haven't seen me... Nah, Chris is way more likeable than me.
@@willernstI bet your great too 😊
I did not expect that voice out of that man.
I think it's SO cool that you share other vocal styles and even courses on your own channel. Many musicians are too proud to showcase other abilities and you've even put his course on top of the video description. While I personally dig your kind of style more than his, I appreciate that you give us the insight in other peoples tricks!
I’m watching the 2nd video in the course right now, and I feel like I must add to what Jonny characterizes as his strengths. He also has this tone that comes through from time to time, that I can only describe as otherworldly. It just has so much soul on specific phrases. And I don’t understand one of his weaknesses being falsetto. “Turn off the lights I’m watching back to the future” has some of the nicest falsetto I’ve heard in music. This is still surreal man. Thank you 🙏🏾
Great observations!!! I agree!!
3:48 I am CONVINCED that looking silly is a crucial component to singing development.
It absolutely is!
I just joined the free course. First I thought: "Oh, man it's just like an interview, I want some drills!" But then in the second lesson , Jonny sang the first line of "the past should stay dead" and I was like "Holy meatballs, he really sounds like the recording". Chris tried to do it his way and I really liked it. I'm looking forward to the full course.
One question though, Chris: I noticed that your voice gets a squeaky character at a certain point. This is not meant in a negative way, it's just that my voice does the same thing and I wonder if there's anything, I could do to get rid of it. Everytime I try to dampen it with a lowered larynx ,I feel a lot of tension in my throat.
Moderating your compression/airflow is the best way to balance that 'squeak'. Hands down!
I love vocal exercises and training. Being a singer myself, some of them are pretty fun to do and some of them are funny to hear/see, but oh boy do they work wonders.
I'll follow jc until the end. He gave the music I listen to soul
Man I was honestly surprised to see to see Jonny on here but he absolutely deserves to be recognised in the heavy music community. He’s a very talented singer and was super influential for me. Funny enough I downloaded Emarosa stuff just a few days back. Relativity is an insane record! I hope to see another episode discussing his aggressive singing! 👏
Wow, just tried it. Nice! Works in the lower and chesty areas pretty well, up into some of the mix. I fall apart up high with it so far, gonna keep playing
Thanks!
This was totally surprising, random, and enjoyable. Never thought I’d see JC on here
Check in, if you're here after Jonny and Old Flame just killed the internet with their new single "Pray"! Jonny's runs on this WHOLE fucking track is just, astonishing. OMFG.
Jonny is the 🐐!
Plain and simple!
Jonny looks so healthy! Im so happy for him.
Jonny Craig and Tyler Carter kings of the scene.
Loved the free course Chris and Jonny, i have always had influences but stopped as I couldnt hit the notes or pitch etc. But now I have this info I can look at developing my own take on what they do and make it my own. Great stuff guys.
Very Cool! Thank you Chris for providing the Jonny Craig Course. He has a great voice and sound. It was also amazing how you were able to unpack the runs he does. Very nice!
This is straight gold excited to explore the course
HE GENUINLY LOOKS HEALTHY AND HAPPY!! Big moment for everybody out there who thinks they are too far good
This VID IS LIFE CHANGING FOR ME AS A SINGER... I feel this is what i've always been missing. wow. thank you!
Glad to see Jonny is doing well, he still has a voice of an angel
Epic! Jonny is so unique and special and has remained one of the greatest singers and also songwriters of all time in my opinion due to his magic, so underrated as far as mainstream success perhaps but he is to his true fans the brightest of stars, also i do love him in the said bands but im more so or just as much so a fan of his own solo music which is beautiful, brilliant and has touched my soul probably deeper than anyones, ty jonny !!
I’ve been waiting for this! 👍🏽
Me watching this video in the gym while I’m running laughing & practicing this yo-yo technique as people are watching me thinking I’m a special kind of stupid 😂😂😂 🤷🏼♂️
I get more of "nyang-nyang."
Damn, even that short little demo he did for this video melts my heart. Jonny is the shit XD
This is such amazing content! Thank you for this, Chris!!
Just what I needed! Thanks Chris!💯
Johnny technique is amazing ❤
I'm glad I consumed the awesome info in this lesson. I'll take some time to let it digest, then it's off to getting those runs! Honestly though it's always been a difficulty. Thanks guys!
Ngl, I was wondering if these videos were still gonna happen since…ya know. But damn, can’t wait to watch this when I get home. Go, Jonny, go!
I can’t remember who said this but If you have haven’t heard Jonny’s voice, you’ve been missing a lot!
Chris. You are a legendary instructor.
That free course was amazing. Seriously helpful for any singer or any artist of any type really. Thank you 🙏
The goofy sounds of Chris were too uncomfortable to handle, had to skip past them, but I'm glad this video exists. I've been trying months to learn runs of some Slaves songs
Best lesson yet.
And great analysis Chris for breaking it down!
This is amazing! Thank you ❤️
Jonny the best!!!
This was awesome! I'd love to be on this kinda thing one day for my screams that I worked so hard to master with my own voice !
Awesome!!! Jonny Craig voice is beautiful! Thank you so much for this Chris! and thank you for the free course! Not gonna lie though, I'm praying for a Tilian's or Andrew Well's (Eidola and also DGD) course or an in-depht vocal analysis now hahaha
awesome videooo haha
the yayaya part is gold
Johnny is bizarre talented, i dont know how he was that good so young back then
I think the best advice here was to visualize how your mouth will move when you visualize the note
Love jonny his solo music is amazing and glad he seems to be doing better
Beautiful video. Love you Jonny
Good tips. Jonny Craig is one of my favorite singers.
Idk why I want to see a blooper reel of y'all just having a conversation but it's all "yayayayayayyayayyayayya" 😭
Cool, I'm gonna have to experiment with that
This is SUPER valuable. Thank you so much man. Johnny Craig is a legend. Chris thank you for this I’m subbing!
Thanks for the sub!
I need more videos of him singing. Because DAMN.
He's so good!!! SO good!
@@chrisliepe I just happened to hear Isle & Glaciers and was like "who's voice is that?" and now I just can't get enough of listening to him. Daily I play "All That I've Become" ...goodness he's amazing.
Johnny is one of the best or one of my favorites. So what you will. He is a consistent artist
Oh my gawdddd! His voice !!!! Yesssss!
Revised j.Craig.
I identify with so so much of J.Craig’s story…. Possessing pretty unique gift, (not music for me). A bright future ahead of me…. I lacked the motivation, self-discipline, and and tenacity found in somebody young and hungry. I was young and that was it….. but due (roughly) in equal parts; to bad choices, unforeseeable circumstances, misfortunes and A pretty indulgent, self seeking and impetuous attitude about literally everything. I racked up quite the the bill. But luckily they started a tab for me; and broke me off not once, but twice…. Totaling nearly 8 years of my life…. JUST. For. Using. so began my disappointing, headfirst dive into my debaucheries, and coming of age… before being incarcerated for the majority my 20s not for anything in particular JUST. simply. using. I turned 21 alone… In solitary confinement, 23.5 hr LOCKDOWN getting in trouble in My adult life was affectively over before it started as far as having a “career goes. I became a felon at 18 for some thing I did when I was 17 and had thohunger and an unfulfilled sense of it and unfulfilled destiny… Everything about Johnny Craig makes me love him more. He’s just a person! Perfectly imperfect… like any of us … If I’m not mistaken.
Take our loving teacher for example; while exhibiting an exemplary (what has now come to be known as) yo-yo jaw technique… He’s acting like a goober but in such an authentic and warm unapologetic way it’s impossible not to appreciate the warmth that emanate off of him. I’ve absolutely loved this video I watched it because I want to sing like Johnny Craig dammit ! And yet, after having discovered this channel though. I’ve watched many of your other videos as well and I do feel like my voice is getting better so this interview because it was somebody so special to me and my musical grimoire . I’m so doing, it has given me more memorable and honest advice and suggestion than I’ve probably retained for most anything else I’ve ever seen on UA-cam from a coach. @theshapeofmusic Thanks for the content.
@jonnycraig if you read this…
I would fucking love to meet you brother and just talk shit about how bad things can be and how beautiful they can be too. I’d love to pick your brain, hmu literally anytime, a high brow convo about mullet maintenance, and the nuanced art of a perfect stach mcnasty mustache for the ladies 😂😂 if you’re within 200 miles of AZ or Huntington Beach CA LOL.
That turned into a bit of a tangent…. But I am in a rather dark place collectively rn. and I feel like to be heard IS and WILL BE an unequivocal part of my future successes and / or growth . Thanks for Showing me decency and some L & R in a moment of clarity, true vulnerability and authenticity!
All the Love,
Ty a.k.a. HappyDude
very very helpful for those who are experimenting on runs.
He's also using his teeth and lips to form the sound. How interesting! Definitely gonna get in that class now. Thanks!
Please do more with jonny!!
More coming!
"The runs" means explosive 💩 in Ireland! 🤣
Love this video!
Here in the USA too :). It was our attempt at a stupid joke hehe
@@chrisliepe well you made laugh and educated me in the same swoop so bravo man! 🖤
just when i need this
Number one! The King /Fan from Sweden
love u jonny thanks 4 finding what u love
The lead singer of Live ft. Jonny Craig! Hell yes! 🙌
Already the "aiaiaiaiaiaiajajajajjajaaja" of Chris was worth it to watch 😂
hes just the best ever,isnt he? beautiful.
Love your content thanks for your existence! ;D
Two legends
Unbelievable talent.
This is so awesome! I love Jonny! It would be beyond sick if you could get Anthony Green on too! Or even Kurt Travis!!
This is the weirdest and most glorious vocal lesson I've ever seen.
This is what everyone wanted but didnt know how to get it to happen
Oh boi, i really want to hear some kind of remaster of Whatever I Say Is Royal Ocean with the Jonny's current voice
Awesome!
