      Have you done any Coheed and Cambria? I think you might enjoy Claudio's voice and range. "Apollo 1: The Writing Writer" and "Welcome Home" are great tracks to check out. And maybe some Rush please. Geddy has one of those voices you either love or hate, but I just think it is endlessly fun.

    Pitched screams are the holy grail for hardcore/metal vocalists, and Courtney LaPlante is one of the best I've ever seen. Keith Buckley of Every Time I Die (who's she's said is one of her voice idols) is another master of pitched screams. It's not an easy thing to do to say the least.

    I like how open-minded you are. Metal isn't always supposed to be pretty (oftentimes it isn't). _Art_ isn't always supposed to be pretty. How can singing about intense pain and trauma be pretty? I feel there would be something seriously wrong if it were pretty. Not saying there aren't metal singers who are just mindless screamers. There are, but she clearly isn't one of them. Thanks for introducing me to her.

    Being a drummer and guitar player myself usually in the studio and live playing this kind of music musicians, especially the drummer, are usually fed a click track into our ears while playing live or recording to give us the main pulse. This was probably why she was bobbing in time at the beginning as the click track usually has a two measure count-in before the first measure of music starts.

    Perspective of an audio engineer (regarding sibilance) Some factors to consider, she is recording with a Shure SM7B, which is great for screaming, but definitely doesn't have a lot of top end compared to most studio vocal mics (large diaphragm condensers), and also it is possible her vocals have been "de-eSSed", so it is hard to tell how sibilant her voice is without knowing if it has been de-essed.. On a different note, I love that song and I enjoy your videos! I just wanted to give my .02

    One female vocalist I've always really dug is Simone Pluijmers, of Cerebral Bore. They are no longer active, and haven't been for awhile BUT it was really cool to see a female vocalist embrace and commit to a purely brutal type of metal music and harsh vocals. She released an album with Your Chance To Die in 2017, which also has great harsh vocals from her. Both bands never really found traction to become mainstays, which is a shame because they were both stellar groups. Would be super rad to see you do a react video to Simone. Recommendations are the song "Maniacal Miscreation" (Cerebral Bore) or "Ignite The Sky" (YCTD). Thanks and I love your content!

  • @imcrazedandconfused
    @imcrazedandconfused 3 роки тому +6

    What a nice in-depth analysis of her cleans when she added more body on the first chorus part and what nice attention to the details of her screaming technique. Courtney is one of the pioneers in her field and impressed and influenced a lot of people, incl. Tatiana from Jinjer, in her previous band iwrestledabearonce. The other band members are not less amazing, and Mike's way of songwriting is so perfectionist and intuitive, it was a blast to see him working out a song on a live stream...
    And for sure, my recommendation is "The Mara Effect live at Silverside Sound Studios". The band one-take that shows nearly the whole bandwidth of their work and Courtney's vocal abilities. And the principle "forget show-off, art comes first".

  • @Filomachia

    Really enjoying your insight during these vocal explorations! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and enjoyment with the music 🤙
    More Courtney:
    -Band: Spiritbox
    -Songs: "Perennial", "Constance", "Belcarra", "The Mara Effect pt 2" (personal favorite of the 3 parts, and has a great showing of her cleans) or LITERALLY any song, they're a great band and she's excellent.
    -Band: iwrestledabearonce - (previous band she subbed in as vocals for two albums)
    -Song: "Green Eyes" (I don't know how much more of her stuff with this band "fits" in a reaction/analysis channel, as it's really chaotic music, but feel free)
    And she had a wonderful band before all that, called Unicron (spelled as I did), and my favorite song by them with a very fun and varied early performance by LaPlante, titled "Broken Vessels" (it has a YT video too!)
