He's troubled and aggressive sounding yet also playful and inviting at the same time. In this lesson, we get to unpack Gerard Way's mix, range and versatility by studying seven different studio recording examples from his My Chemical Romance performances. We'll look at positioning and I'll demonstrate ways put a little bit of Gerard Way's flavor into our own voices!
Enjoyed this. That last vocal in 'Sleep' is Gerard screaming 'Wake up!!!!!'
RIGHT! Thanks for the correction! :)
Probably my favorite part of the entire album, it's like fighting death, people yelling at you to wake up as you fight the urge to sleep (death), which fits into the theme of the album with a cancer patient reaching his demise
isaiah monroig he’s a genius of vocalizing his emotions in his songs.
isaiah monroig it’s also about his experience with sleep paralysis.
One of the best comments I’ve seen all year
I think the best title could have been: How to sing the Gerard Way
That would have been much better!
😂😂😂
Omg *y e s*
That would've been amazing
Omg yessss 😂
If this is your first time watching this video, skip to 17:03
I legitimately got so scared oml
Omg that got me so good ahahahhaa thats was great 😂
Wtf is this 😂😂
Oh my god what did I just witness
12:00 so i can get back to where i was
i think even Gerard doesnt know he sings in such a complicated way like this guy is explaining
because it's himself tho
not so sure about it...they maybe hired a vocal coach for the record that told him all the things the video explained.maybe not dont know for sure.but one thing is certain that the vocals are full of different expressionisms that only o vocal coach can teach u :)
@@prankofficialmusic true, but id like to believe Gerard is gifted 😓
@@HojackB he is for sure...the vocals in this album are out of this world
It doesn't seem complicated to me.
Infact it's some pretty simple instructions from my point of view
I find that Gerard sings like he’s just been angry crying
Alex Long YES that’s the short explanation of his trying to explain I think this come back makes me want to just start singing 🎤 again 🖤✊🏽
Hahaha 🤣
Like he is gritting his teeth
How to sing like Gerard Way: pronounce “o”s like *OUWOUAOWAWUOH*
Di Angelo Trash True, but listen to the cover of Under Pressure or I Don’t Love You
xx_AdorableAndy_xx also saying rashes instead of ashes (like in house of wolves)
Di Angelo Trash for doing it like Patrick, you need say asses instead of ashes (like in an acoustic version on My songs know what you did in the dark)
Same with Ws. Ex: *"OWOWWOOWOWOWOWOWOWOEEOOWWHEN YOU GO WOOWOWOWOWOWOWOULD YOU EVEN TURN TO SAYYY"*
Yeemo! Biersack true
bob ross I added Ws but that’s a more accurate representation lmao
*and Gerard Way just starts banshee screaming in the background* possibly my favorite spoken sentence rn
i’m crYING
datPanamanian does everyone have your profile pic or are you seriously on every video ever posted on UA-cam?
Some youtuber a while ago tried to get lots of people to change their pfp to raid stuff, jus too lazy to change it
I can’t sing but I’m watching this because it said Gerard Way
Ashley DeFrain same
I can't sing either; I came to listen to Gerard's sexy voice.
Anyone can sing. It's a skill just takes work time effort, but most importantly persistence. Talent will only take a person so far. That stick to it element/s of action in any pursuit that'll be the difference between good great and God tier performance.
Same
Same
Imagine sending this video to people who don’t speak english
Yeah Someone did to me
gracioso pero educativo! hahahaha
Hahahhaha
Rhowin Dacut India?
cómo sea si le entiendo 😔✊
5:42 literally Frank iero hahaha
He sounded like Frank when is joking D:
I CANT BREATHE LMAO IT TOOK ME A FEW SECONDS
OMG UR SO RIGHT AHH😂😂😂
LMAO
viequetoutart seriously
I honestly wouldn’t doubt that Gerard way is just winging it.
anthony morales he absolutely is
my chem but that one era with green day yeah that. It sounds like it lol. Not that that’s a bad thing. He makes up for it with all of the feeling he puts into it on top of natural talent.
so many musicians do. Matt Bellamy was winging it until 2012 without singing lessons and also, for many compositions, the fans picked up on details that he didn't think up when he made the songs, Take a Bow is one of those cases.
He has mentioned that when the bullets album came out he had absolutely no idea how to sing lol
A lot of emo singers are untrained. It’s kinda a weird pattern. I think it’s cause a lot of these bands started as garage bands. Brendon Urie, Ryan Ross, Gerard Way, I believe Patrick Stump, and Tyler Joseph are all untrained.
Dude, so many people don't "get" Gerard's voice because of his new jersey "banshee" thing, but you GET it. It's not your run-of-the-mill rock voice; there's so much theatricality and whimsy to it, and unless you really *listen* to him like you did here, you can't *hear him* y'know? People were so focused on the emo that they overlooked him as a fantastic freaking vocalist. It's just so nice to be validated, lol.
YES!!!
Fuck was the banshee thing
Gerard way's vocal is so unique. I was addicted to hear his voice back then.
Eric S Dude I still am
"back then"? Haha
@@Tess623 yeah ahaha, bcs they choose to disband the band and i cant expect new album for them anymore. Now that they are coming back, i hope to see more of gerard's beautiful voice in their future album !!!
@@erics7219 Same!! I'm super excited to hear what they come out with! :D
well theres a voice i had addicted too
17:14 me, when I found out that mcr is coming back
HAHAHAHAHHAHA
Honestly he sounds like the screaming sun from Rick and Morty
Same! Lol
T e q u i l a
Lol Yes
How to sound like Gerard Way: Do a Sonic the Hedgehog impression
😂
That kills meee lmao XD
LMAO
you're so right
He sounds more like Mickey Mouse to me. Or spongebob.
4:11... oh my god this almost sounded like gerard's talking voice
More like gru from despicable me...
I choked
More like CrankThatFrank
it sounded more like Crankthatfrank
@@adamdaniel3089 yes
I wouldn’t even be surprised if Gee’s just winging it. I don’t even think he knows he’s this complicated. And he literally just has that nice squeaky-ish jersey accent that can sound like an actual demon at times.
I agree... I think that he's not thinking at all... just acting out of emotion and inspiration. Doesn't change the fact that observing what he does naturally in those moments of inspiration can dramatically add to our singing! :)
I love that thing he does when he sings Mama live and his voice goes deep and sounds freaking terrifying but so cool
He's a complicated boi xd
Chris: explains all the complicated things Gee does with his voice, and complex musical and vocal understanding
Gerard: is unaware of it and is just THAT naturally talented
Also Gerard way: has a vocal coach
@@zerronyx1362 Also Gerard Way: definitely did NOT have a vocal coach when he started out and already had a distinctive style.
Honestly part of getting that Gerard sound is making Gerard faces I've found
i’ve tried this and it really does work
i don’t know if u saw the return performance from a couple days ago but gerard was unbelievable - his voice sounded exactly the same if not clearer and healthier
They did tune everything down a bit tho
@@lostecho4394 That's fair, that happens to most musicians as they age, especially if a large chunk of their repertoire is from their 20's. A lot of mens' voices don't REALLY finish changing until they're 25-30. That's part of why you can tell the difference between the speaking voice of a college kid and a middle aged dude based off of audio recording alone (slang usage aside).
this is G N O T E
Th...that’s how he talks...
Squeaky-ish
Yeah squeaky New Jersey
he has a squeaky voice already lol
I know I know!!!!! When he talked I was instantly like omg
most of the best singers are just talking with dynamics and tone
It’s weird. He’s like the only person from nj that sounds like Mickey Mouse😂
It's insane how he just-
*does that*
THE TUTORIAL I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR MY ENTIRE LIFE. (for real tho, i’ve learned more from your channel than i have from my actual vocal coach. thank you sir)
Gerard is such an insane singer because he doesn't even focus that much on what he's doing, I can imagine him being like the "Yea I'm just gonna sing and see what happens" type of guy. But he has so much emotions while singing and so much commitment to his music the he can literally sing anything at it would sound amazing, he can read the back of a shampoo bottle and it would make me cry.
I bet all my money he doesn't even know he's this complicated xd
When he's live ( at least on MCR concerts ) he does so much, he interacts with the crowd, he is all over the stage, runs around, acts like his sassy self and yet he still sings like a fucking god.
Only Gerard can do that
I completely agree. He has no clue... He's stumbled on sensations that work for him just by being him and exploring his own voice, but he has no idea what he's doing. Not many people are this fortunate or bold... so we have to take the approach of introspecting based on what people who are more naturally experimental and self aware with their voices. It's a super revealing way to improve your voice!
@@chrisliepe Btw I love your stuff, keep up the great work
Oh yeah, at the end of Sleep, he’s screaming “wake up” among other sounds
Yep😂😂
Saying among other sounds made that comment funnier than it should be honestly
MCR first meeting: So, who's going to be the singer? -Gerard: Agh, don't worry about it.
AHHHH, DON'T WORRY ABOUD IT
Hi, Chris. Can you make a video about Matt Bellamy, especially about his falsetto?
YEEEEEEEEES!
I have wait this one also... Matthew bellamy
Especially Micro Cuts
Yes please, I love his falsetto and screaming (particularly in the first two albums)
BEAUTIFUL!!
4:47 Spongebob? What are you doing here?
When he said “ we'll carry on ” I already lost it.
THIS WAS POSTED THE D A Y BEFORE THE REUNION CONCERT
Mom: Wake up, you gotta go to school
Me: 17:01
He sounds like the guy from Muse when he imitates Gerard Way
Which guy? Matt, Chris or Dom?
There are actually isolated vocals posted on UA-cam that are much better for analysis. I love that you made this video.
Me, as a girl, knowing i'll never be able to sing like him: *so* *interesting*
Fuck that. Take it up a register and rock out. 🤘
You probably could; I don't know the complexities of voices and stuff, I'm only here bc I vaguely sound like him already but I'm a girl and sort of developed it to what it is at.
If you enter your headvoice, while holding a chest compression, and you have a mezzo-soprano voice, you can sound like him lmfao
same, because my voice is high pitched and too soft (less about being quiet but not really all that strong if that makes sense)
Me, a soprano: *hoping I can learn to sound like him*
"Gerard Way starts banshee-screaming in the background" is my religion. That part of Sleep is so packed with emotion that I avoid listening to it in public, it gives me goosebumps and a HUGE urge to banshee-scream with Gerard lol
You can tell Gerard puts a lot of real emotions into it too, like he genuinely means what he’s saying 🥺
I wonder if Gerard knows he's actually doing that with his laringe when he sings.
Bro said laringe
i dont even sing why am i watching this
john k. Because it said Gerard’s name in the title, same reason as me
Same same
What if Gerard says: "i was just singing with my emotion"
omg i love palaye royale !!! i feel like gerard does do that a lot of the time
also, if you didn't already know what Gerard is screaming in "Sleep", he's saying "WAKE UP" repeatedly. Major props to Rob Cavallo for the sound on that record. There's always small details in their songs that enhance it once you catch them!
He really plays with mouth and tongue positions, as well as his facial expressions like pushing his jaw out and gritting his teeth so I think it contributes largely to his unique singing style (LOVE IT.) It all comes from the sass >.>
YES!
Enjoyed this, very helpful to understand what he’s doing to sound like that. Fun fact about “Sleep”: most of what he does in that song is just to help build the imagery that is the point of the song- it’s supposed to give that stereotypical dream imagery where everything is like hazy and ripple-y. That’s the picture they’re trying to get at with this song since it’s from a concept record. That’s why he falls off that note on “sleep,” and he screams “wake up!” at the end but it’s buried under the guitars because that part is supposed to be like someone from outside the dream is breaking through telling the protagonist to wake up.
I just came across Foundations of Decay, never payed attention to this band so far, but the song is unbelievable, the vocals are fucking INSANE and beautiful, wish I could sing like that. damn
Wish you covered Mama, he really makes it sound like he's gone insane and it's an amazing performance
5:42 GOD IS THIS FRANK IERO JOKING??
击caro SOUNDS JUST LIKE IT
Sees Gerard
Me: *clicks*
The talking like him tip is exactly what I use when I’m doing impressions of his voice, because he sings in the accent he talks in. I’ve never seen anyone else pick up on that.
I love how I got that ad right after the reunion show
Gerard has such a unique voice it’s insane
Especially in more accented parts of songs like the word "love" his accent comes out gently and it makes him sound so good. I've seen interviews like gerard saying "oh yeah I put a lot of emotion into singing" and u can hear it very easily
dude, i've been on an MCR binge for the past year and just discovering your videos recently, so the timing for this was perfect!
I'm gonna be using your tips to try and help me "come into" my voice if that makes sense? I've always been a natural instrumentalist/beatmaker, but the voice is definitely the hardest instrument to tackle. I wanna front my own hardcore/alt rock band so i really hope to get somewhere with your videos to help me out. thank you, as always!
Gerard isn’t just banshee screaming in Sleep lol, he’s screaming “Wake up”
Having a sleep paralysis, suddenly a red dark demon with bright eyes enters my room:
Me: 4:30
My mind: 17:03
I lost my shit
AhHahHhahHaHahahah
4:15 you you actually start talking the way he talks.
Gerard's vocals are always awesome, but his performance in Sleep is really soooo emotionnal and impressive, gets me everytime. This song is just perfect!
Especially on the Black Parade tour. The screaming during the outro... woof.
Fyi there are isolated vocals from The Black Parade and the Sleep one is very good
Please you should do Demolition Lovers and stuff from MCR's first album that thing's insane. I've always wondered how he managed to record that album without hurting his voice really bad
when he tries to sound like gerard i cannot stop hearing him like a voice over of a cartoon network character.
YES!! :) That's a perfect start!
I got goosebumps when Disenchanted started :'D
at the end of sleep he says WAKE UP! WAKE UP!
This (for me) is legitimately one the BEST singing tutorial channels out there. I mean, the instruction in his videos is so clear and detailed!! Thank you for these videos!😭🤟
I mostly like classic rock and metal but Gerard has such a unique voice with so much emotion.
I play Sleep on the piano a lot, and mix Gerard's style of singing and mine into it, and i did it for a month, but for that whole time my mom thought I was singing "Just Stay" and my sisters thought it was "Just Slay"
15:22 that's my mom's face when she listens the music I like (MCR)
Please make one about Alex turner of the Arctic monkeys and the last shadow puppets.
Yaaaas please
Honestly his voice is magical
Remington Lieth, from Palaye Royale, has (to me) a unique singing style and I would love to see you do this type of video on him. ☺
great video👌🏻
but he’s actually screaming “wake up” in sleep 😂
Great video, Gerard Way is one of my musical hero’s alongside Prince MJ and Hendrix. Great to see this appreciation for how unique his vocal technique is.
Please make a video about Remington Leith of Palaye Royale. I think his voice is very incredible and unique.
Yesssss, pls
Omg *hello fellow Soldier. We may be small, but we’re growing rapidly.*
Omg yes!
i agree completely
Yaas please!
Not sure how reiterative this would be, but a video about Adam Gontier would be really helpful to me. I've never quite been able to pinpoint his sound.
Yeah Adam would be cool to see. I can kind of do Matt's a bit, but like you said, I can't pinpoint Adams vocals
when you stub your toe on the coffee table 17:13
I'm so happy that I found your channel, you're soooo good explaining all these things about singing. Hopefully I'll learn a lot from you.
And congrats for the amazing vid, My Chemical Romance is one of my favorite bands ever and you slayed those vocals!!!
Dude I seriously wish I had this when I sang WTTBP in my cover band a couple weeks ago
I definitely only clicked because of Gerard but this was so interesting I’m subscribed now
17:02
When your mother picks you up from school and she stops on a McDonald's.
4:18 solid John Travolta impression
really love how deep you dissected his voice, gerard is such a treasure of just pure raw emotional talent. i can't wait to check out your other videos like this one. definitely subscribed. and your voice is really nice :)
the sleep song, there is a clear live version in the black parade is dead recording in mexico
Thanks a lot for this tutorial, Chris. It explained G's voice very thoroughly and it is so helpful for me to sing better!
A really cool person to look at would be Tyler Joseph from Twenty One Pilots! He has an interesting falsetto/head voice that I’d love to know a bit more about!
seconded! his scream is also nice when the right moment arises
He, too, pronounces “o”s weird lmao
I brought Sleep to my singing teacher and the "he just starts banshee screaming in the background" is a perfect description
I still remember her shocked face when she heard the ending of sleep with the screaming 😂
Thanks for such a great breakdown!!
Gonna check out more of your videos, I do need help with breath support 😭
Thank you so much it feels a lot more right to sing along him right now, ad honestly you're the best vocal coach there is on UA-cam right now, I'm a total beginner and you helped me learn a lot in a short space of time. Keep up the good work
In the new song by motionless in white “another life” in the chorus chris sings a high note witha weird blended rasp. Could you explain this technique and how he does it. Ive watched your tutorials and its not quite it and im really interested in getting this mixed sung yell perfected
YESSSSS! I love miw and another life too.
YES
I've never seen a vocal tutorial be so articulate with describing how to produce similar sounds. Most of them just end up confusing the hell out of me, but this was really well done. Cheers for the great content!
Billy Corgan? That would be a good challenge
I am 65 and just discovered My Chemical Romance a couple of months ago. (just bought the Black Parade CD)
I'm going through a breakup after 11 years with someone and truthfully, I was looking on UA-cam for "I don't love you anymore" and "F**ck you" songs to wallow in my brokenheartedness... I came across Gerard Way singing "I Don't Love You," and was knocked out by his voice. (The song itself is beautiful, musically, but the lyrics creeped me out a little re: "needless beating" and "fix your eyes and get up, while you can"). (The other song I "resonated with" was ua-cam.com/video/RhJHUG1T0KQ/v-deo.html by Kailee Morgue)
I first listened to/watched the official video ( ua-cam.com/video/pyi0ZfuIIvo/v-deo.html ) , which is very cool indeed. But then I found the "out take" version ( ua-cam.com/video/eHaR7n0LbBQ/v-deo.html ) and loved the second part ( 4:11) where he just goes bananas (same soundtrack, different visuals). So, I wish you had included this song in your video because his vocals in this song are absolutely beautiful and he does a lot of interesting stuff.
In this song, and in a couple of others, he seems to be emulating some of the old-timey style of Elvis and Frank Sinatra. In the official video of "I Don't Love You," there's a brief image of him standing on a hill striking a very Elvis pose.
Well, thank you for this video. I found it really interesting. I used to sing when I was a kid and then for some reason, got really weird and self-conscious in my 30s and gave it up. I don't know if I'm too decrepit at this point, but now that I'm back to being footloose and fancy free (my ex was a controlling, gas-lighting narcissist who sucked all the joy out of my life -- however, as they say in The Holy Grail, "[He] turned me into a newt, but I got better." ), I've been thinking of getting involved in the local community choral group (safety in numbers). I love the physical sensation of singing. When I was a kid, people (including other kids) were always asking me to sing something and I liked being able to bring others pleasure in that way. (Sometimes I felt shy, though, and sang with my back to my "audience"! )
The Holy grail! Gerard and mcr and Monty Python . you've got no arm. Tis but a scratch.
This is awesome! Thank you for taking the time to make this tutorial 😄
OMG, this is amazing! It's my first video I see of yours (or about singing techniques) and I'm absolutely stunned by how much work technique there is behind single phrases! Thank you so much :)
What about Tyler Joseph?
YES
you just have to talk
You pull out some pretty extreme stuff when you explain..your a tremendous vocalist
Probably one of the best and most accurate "How to sing like" on UA-cam. This guys is really amazing with such a deep analysis of Gerard Way singing style. Also not easy at all to replicate but he managed to do it for us to better understand everything. Everything is so perfect! AN outstanding work! Now we just need Gerard Way to comment this video.
Your video just popped up in my recommended. I have never tried LEARNING how to sing (tho always wanted to give it a try hahaha) but I couldn't stop listening to you! Definitely will watch all of your videos, level of control of your voice (or how you call it professionally haha) is sooooo good!
I'm a simple person. I see Gerard Way, I click on the video.
I know you say its not a reaction but this is one of the best types of reaction video formats of listening to a performance and actually learning things from it. Making it your own, bravo sir
Thank you!
Love you Chris, for bringing all this vocal goodness to our lives 😍💚
TODAY I JUST PLAYED WELCOME TO THE BLACK PARADE WITH MY BAND AND THEN I COME HOME AND SEE THIS. THIS Could HAVE BEEN SO MUCH MORE HELPFUL liKE A WEEK AGO LMAAOOOOO!
Love you keep doing what youre doing keep going Chris!
I just can't believe how well you explain everything! Thanks a lot man!❤
First video of yours I've seen. Nice break of the style, you've got a brilliant way of explaining things. 👍
