Chino Moreno - Haunting whispers to paint-peeling screams!! No one's going to sound like him and if you try, because of the extreme dynamic shifts, you can easily mess your voice up! Don't play the imitation game. Play the inspiration game! Learn how to approach these dynamic extremes the correct way by studying his approach with me using short studio examples from various Deftones songs! You'll be screeching and causing goosebumps in no time... With YOUR voice!
Chino's one of the great rock vocalists in my opinion. Range, tone, feel, originality.
Absolutely one of a kind.
Legit bro I've never ever heard anyone who has a style like his. It's not often someone can give me chills with just their voice, chino is one of them
Sex Tape, among others, legit gives me that chill/ASMR feeling. Unreal
Chino and Maynard. They're vocals are unparalleled. Thank God for spell-check. ; )
Yep, right next to Jonathan Davis.
I wonder if Chino even knows this much about what he's doing or if it's all by feel and through passion.
100 percent feel and passion
C'mon guys, he is an ultra talented vocalist of a multi awarded band, he obviously knows what he is doing.
Its feel. You dont learn how to sing like that lmao you discover it
It's all feel, it's easy to over analyze what he does, because hes not a trained singer, he just did what sounded and felt right to him.
@@dustinscott5628 Absolutely. That’s why he blew one of his vocal chords because he’s not trained. I doubt the guys even think about changing key to make it easier for him.
If Chino's screaming on Around The Fur album doesn't give you goosebumps then you're dead.
As chino would say “ it’s all about passion”
probably the only "technique" he really cares about too
if you think he developed that fry with "passion" you're wrong. May take years to develop a clean solid fry scream.
That and having a fucking killer voice.
I mean, screaming can be learned but singing soft like he does and making it sound that good requires some pretty great raw material to work with.
mucho passion!!!! put the passion in the air
He sings so effortlessly. It honestly sounds like hes almost not even trying, which i love
Chris is a talented dude and can't nearly mimic the calmness, fierceness, and sexiness of Chinos voice. Just an amazing vocalist
Btw, I know you were teaching, not attempting to mimic. I shouldn't have used that word. Really shows the amount of talent involved in the vocals he lays out
You can hear that chris is the better singer and thus he doesnt sound the same as chino
@@BigeuleLP wot?
@@BigeuleLP nobody's better here, its down to voice itself imo
True dissection. Chino is so hard to analyze, he’s so influential, but it’s very difficult to understand his technique - this had a huge impact on my understanding. Great job, thanks brother.
Doesn't even him understand his technique
@@RibeiroGames12 you sound like Yoda on ketamine

Not to tear down anything I’m this video. He gives you great insight into technique. But a big part of Chino’s style is his production. He uses lots of ambient modulation combined with heavy compression. And most of all he achieves the whispery vocals by cupping a handheld mic. Most of Deftones early records he sang in the control room with a Shure 58. And these days he still uses a handheld for screams. Just a little more insight.
Well said!
First off there's Chino's amazing voice but he uses a workhorse mic, and a good amount of compression and reverb.
@@dadecooper5335 and second off?
@@TheRedLTI’m still waiting for the second off
Oh man, Chino is such a unique vocalist.
But I hope you mentioned his mixed voice. The chorus of 'Cherry Waves' that high note is so fascinating. I can't figure out how he does it.
If you're referring to "suuuuuuuck", I believe he's switching between falsetto and normal.
I am completely intrigued by his work on that track, as well! I've watched so many live versions of that song to try to figure out exactly what he's doing, especially his transition into "IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?" after such a soft melodic line before it.
Same thing with Sextape's chorus "Tonigghht" is sooo hard to hit.
@@TheGlingfram It's too thick to be falsetto. It's mixed voice. even live he does that thing effortlessly. He can blend it well
The high notes are mixed voice or belted. Sometimes he’s not up for it and he switches to falsetto. On the albums it’s a lot of layers with multiple techniques.
I was watching some Deftones analysis the other day, and there the sexiness of some of their songs was tied with this 'breathy' style of singing Chino has. As they've put it, 'it sounds like he's about to climax' 😅 And as vulgar as it may sound, it's honestly so truthful imho hahaha
Well Chino did write alot of songs about sex and shit like that so not really suprised lol
Lie Likes Music, he made a great video, yeah.
@@Monius13 There's also like a 33 minute video on yt where some guy explains their music. Niche video as well.
@@Monius13 exactly! It was so good that I wanna rewatch it already x)
@@markoveric4969 I'd love to watch it as well! Care to share a link or a name? :)
His note choices are a big part of what makes his sound haunting
Chino’s vocal tone is one of the most beautiful ever, so warm and clean
To me his singing is haunting/emotional. Kind of strangled, sick and gritty. I love the way he hits unexpected notes too, maybe semitones or microtones. Coupled with the heavy instrumentals it's so gnarly- I want to say it's dissonant but it really hits the perfect notes for me!
10:27 those screams touched my soul god damnit
Chino has so many influences that he’s gone from Nu Metal and even elements of hip hop sound to his favorites Depeche Mode style to a wide variety of ambient sounds. Even his other work Crosses and Palms have different sounds to Deftones. He’s a genius really
He sounded like Deftones, Chevelle, and System of a Down through the examples hahah
Dave Gahan from Depeche Mode. He’s had a huge influence on Chino Moreno.
Yeah Depeche mode pj Harvey sade..
Yes, I've always heard Chino talk about how much Dave Gahan has influenced him vocally.
Honestly though, I can't really hear it much in his singing style.
Morrissey, Robert Smith, and Dave Gahan mixed with some of Mike Patton's screams. That is how I would describe his singing voice. His whisper is definitely androgynous; probably PJ Harvey and Sade for main influences along with Robert Smith.
He is also influenced by 80s punk and hardcore.
@@missswan4864 I’d say Thom Yorke was a major influence as well.
Simon Le Bon on the album Rio is great
TRENT. REZNOR. PLEASE.
I've been trying to study his voice, but I'm completely stumped
Ngl I don't consider myself a fan of NIN, but damn that guy has a good voice for his music
Please
Trent is 1 more great example, "We're in this together" song is pretty hard to sing, many cool verse melodies and i personally can't handle high notes.
My favorite part about Reznor as a vocalist is how he has learned a lot over the years of how to adapt his voice to the sound he is trying to create.
love Trent, love NIN...but his voice in my opinion isn't that great haha. great for his music, but vocal talent wise, not that good. chino on the other hand is the best rock vocalist ever imo
Go for the Chino scream, end up sounding like Fred Durst. It's okay, I'm sure it happens to the best of us.
Fred actually has badass screams when he really pushes them like in Pollution
I once managed to nail the long screech in "Royal" (well I think I did) ... Was so outta breath & dizzy that I never tried again since that.
Royal has his best scream ever!
Fuuuuuuuu...
Been there done that
legit every time that song comes on i'm out of breath and dizzy by the end,
partly cause of the intense headbangin
the TAAAAAKE MEEEEEE AAAAAAAAAAAAAA just fuckin takes over my body every time i love it
That scream is practically inhuman. I love it so much. Whenever I really want to drive home to others what Chino is capable of, I play that song for them.
i love to sing digital bath, and i must say, that to whisper like Chino does is not that easy as someone might think.
His vocals sound so sensual throughout the song and then when he hits the higher notes its just explosive. One of my favorites, he sounds even better with Crosses as its more haunting and soothing
As vocal influence, he stated Robert Smith (The Cure) back in the days. I think it's a good track to follow.
I remember him stating Polly jean Harvey and sade as influences
I dont hear any of his influences in his actual technique.
Sergio They really are aren’t they?
This, Korn, Probably Linkin Park
Also Chino mentioned Mike Patton as his influence.
This was amazing. Thoroughly enjoyed this break down. Have to admit, I lost it at 10:09. Caught me off guard and had me howling! Chino is great and your analysis was very precise and engaging. Great stuff!
Thanks! :)
10:21 I see who did the voice for the sun in Rick and Morty
😂 I'm laugh.
he did that crazy screaming of shove it and other things.
It seems everytime I begin studying vocalists to try implement their techniques into my own work, you post a video centred around the same vocalist the next day, eerie but useful 😂🙏
Awesome! :)
Finally someone makes the video i've googled a thousand times
zimmerdAON ikr 😂 props to the guy!
One of the most emotional vocalists ever! I would use the word 'vulnerable' to describe most of his delivery. A lot of shakiness etc.
I like Chino's voice cause that's something unique and it's amazing how his voice goes along with the song itself, idk, it feels different
When people say "screaming doesn't take talent/skill," I show them these videos and it shuts them up right away.
Thanks for doing a breakdown on my favorite vocalist!
I’m not a musician but I have a huuuuge love and appreciation for the art. There’s something so incredibly unique and soothing about Chino’s style and Deftones as a whole. This was really interesting and fun to watch! I’m glad it popped up on my feed. Thank you! 🎶 🙏🏼☺️
Amazing, i was really waiting for this one. What's most unique and hard about Chino, i think, is the absolutely pitchless scream. I always think of it as a "panther roar", a totally feral sound, and how smoothly he can go from there to melody and viceversa.
Great job, Chris, i have super fun times watching your videos.
I little sad you didn't cover Hexagram, that would've been really interesting haha. Some of these Chino techniques reminded me of Damond Albarn in Gorillaz, I would love to hear your takes on him and it would probably get some clicks as Gorillaz is always popular.
10:21-10:25 How I sound losing my mind at home during quarantine
HAAAAAA AAAAASIDEEEEEE
Same bro
Chino's my favorite singer and I'm really happy that you got to do this study of his voice. Awesome work ! Keep it up ! :)
Yassss!!!! Thank you 🙏 😭 I love it! Been wanting you to do a video on Chino for awhile now! 🖤🖤🖤
Wish you would’ve gone over his super high pitched screams
Dude I'm so happy you did this. Wasnt expecting this at all. Very well done! Would love to see you do Spencer from Periphery as well.
Thank you for this! Love Deftones a lot. Great band, great video Chris!
I think Chino has always been my all time favorite. I don’t know anything about singing but watching this makes me appreciate him that much more. The little things you hear that add to the sound but maybe don’t consciously notice! Unique for sure.
I learned to hear every detail of his voice like if it was a touch. His voice sends me to another dimension where I'm floating. Music can generate in me this feeling of being doped or in trance. I think I just enjoy it too much. Wasn't a fan of Deftones until a friend told me hey have you heard them? And I was like meh, I know they're there but no so..... Suddenly heard Sextape, then Minerva, then Passenger (eargasm) and didn't stop. Got White Pony... Is my portal to another dimension. And now I love them.
This video was great, I just subscribed and will watch my favorite artists analysis. Please could you consider Billy Corgan?
Huge fan of Deftones, and all Chino’s other projects! That’s probably why UA-cam show me this very interesting video and channel. Great work! 💪🏼👌🏼
Great as always, Chris. Best vocal coach on youtube, best wishes from Brazil!
YES!!!!! Been waiting for this tutorial for quite some time. Thankyou sp much !
I love this. This is my first video of yours but Deftones are one of my favorite bands. Thanks for doing this.
Dude. this is amazing. I love how in depth this is.
Hey I'm a 21 and have been learning how to sing for about 2 years now and chino is a big inspiration for me and I just want to say I really appreciate this man!
Amazing video, loved the job you've done on describing the extreme side of Chino's voice.
Man Chino has been blowing me away with his rawness since adrenaline, to this day everything goes into his songs
Never heard of you but being a fan of Chino's since Adrenaline when I started a band and being a singer, had to see what you have to say. Kurt was my main influence but Chino was still there. People love him or hate him.
How can someone hate Chino? That should be illegal
@@ericsandez7789 I don't know but so many people do. No friends of mine
Dude, amazing video per usual. Your channel is just a goldmine of useful information. You are a true G.
This is AWESOME, you're the best on dissecting vocal techniques. Wondering that Chino himself would appreciate this video, since it's been a while he is not performing his studio vocals properly at live shows, lol.
He never did.. Since the 90s
Deftones shows are more about emotion and energy. He has gotten closer to the records in recent years. But it has always been a little different vocally since the beginning.
@@topixxartist1768 I feeI you, Deftones transcend styles, they are a concept (of emotion and energy, just like you said) and just for the record, I love their live performances. Also Chino has changed the game in a level that even watching a tutorial on how he created his unique style/technique is awesome. But yeah, I feel a gap a bit bigger than it should be between Chino's voice on studio vs live shows. Probably he doesn't t give a shit, who knows? lol.
Anyway, even the greatest have someone to help them on the road...Cheers! ua-cam.com/video/YD6wZNkffog/v-deo.html
I think that is part of the draw for Deftones live shows: they are emotionally charged and not caught up in sounding just like the record. The best bands, in my opinion, teeter totter with their live performances between sounding amazing or sounding shambolic. I've seen Deftones shows that sounded amazing and ones that were a little messy, but enjoyed each of them equally.
@@claudiobrandao9352 he fucked up his vocal cords
I've been waiting for this one for a looooonnnnggg time!
I love Chino's voice and I've listened to Deftones for a good two decades now. You gotta try and do a video like this on Lajon Witherspoon, the singer of Sevendust. He's got an amazing range and powerful voice!
This is my first time EVER watching a vocal lesson and I gotta say first impression some of those noises you made had me cracking up but nonetheless I appreciate the quality video! I personally have a hard time singing be quiet and drive.
Really nice work, I love Deftones, it’s funny how they can be really calm and aggressive at the same time
I absolutely friggin agree... No one screams like him... His screams, especially in Elite, Royal, Around the Fur, etc, he screams from his gut, it actually sounds painfully beautiful!
love how you went all the way back to adrenaline, great album
You’re so damn good at this stuff, dude. Thank you
I did several covers of this man and I gotta say he is one of the most talented vocalists ever I am the biggest Deftones fan you'll ever meet
Great video man! You’re a great vocal coach
Yessssss!! One of my 4 favorite singers. Thank you so much. His voice and his way to sing it can transmit too much emotion and pain with that whispers, it's magical. I recommend to everyone to listen Team Sleep, Crosses and Palms, you will be not disappointed.
Now, I just need Michael Lessard, Rody Walker and Tommy Giles to make my life complete.
Chris, you've helped me immensely with finding my mix voice and grit. Thank you so much.
Would be nice so see some Jay Buchanan from Rival Sons!
YESS IVE BEEN WAITING THANK YOU
Such a good analysis, well done.
Great analysis. You nailed so many aspects of his vocal style. Chino is the fucking man.
YES! THANK YOU, THIS IS SO AWESOME!!!
So much details. I feel that there are so much more too unwrap. Awesome stuff Chris.
I've been waiting a while for this kind of video. Great work sir. I sing in a deftones tribute and I always needed help picking these dynamics apart. Thanks again
Awesome!!
AWESOME! one of the more interesting singers / videos!
Cool video! You nailed his intentions and style! I would have loved to also see his falsetto. He uses it quite extensively like in the chorus of Digital Bath, but also an many quieter verses, as it sounds quite similar to his normal range.
Thanks for the awesome video!
It'd be cool if you did one of these on Jonathan Davis
Darren Schneck Yes please.
Its just alot of layered octaves and blurting out one syllable words like "BOY" and "MY"
Captyn His style is unique as fuck.
Jon Davis, but not the singing, specifically the vocal scat stuff like the beginning of twist and the bridge on freak on a leash
Amazing video. The Dynamics are insane
Thanks Chris I was waiting for this one :). Also It would be amazing if you did one on Joe Duplantier from Gojira I love their music
This is good man. I love Chino's sound. Will you do Joe Duplantier of Gojira? He's got so much power in his voice
This is so lit bro🔥. When you do the screams!! Ima play with these techniques in my next songs 🤘🏼
Chino is by far one of my fav singers! He is just amazing how he can go from his sexy breathtaking vibes to a gut wrenching savage scream in a blink of an eye. Love this man!
Yes! Been waiting for this one!!! Please consider making a how to sing like Cedric Bixler Zavala of The Mars Volta and At The Drive-in.
Also, just wanted to say you’re definitely my favorite vocal coach that I’ve come across online! A+ content and you seem like a super cool dude. :)
I think we're tenors. We have the same first names, by the way. And Volta is my next fav band next to Deftones.
...you must be a clone. I see.
@@drippinwet774 I love Deftones too! I’m not sure if I’m a baritone with decent head voice or a tenor. I have some of my music on my channel (maybe you already looked since you guessed my vocal range). You can hear some deft ones influence in my vocals on the bridge in Emerald Shore.
But I’m working on an EP with my band that is going to be very experimental and heavily Volta influenced. Subscribe please if you’re interested :) a lot of the music on this channel is old crap and I’ve gotten a lot better, both vocally and instrumentally. Also, all my stuff on here was recorded on GarageBand on my shitty old iPhone 7 with its built in mic so don’t expect pro production. Haha
@@drippinwet774 check out the band pinback. Start with Non Photo Blue, Clemenceau, offline PK, or Sender. Thank me later ;)
Great Video Chris! It helps a lot to understand the different singing techniques and how to transmit emotion through our voice by coloring it. Thank you! You already analysed many singers i like! Aaron Lewis's missing ;) Keep on going!
You're effing awesome my guy!!!
Awesome vid man. I love Deftones and this was really interesting for me. Pete Loeffler of Chevelle is also one of my favorite vocalists. I'd be interested to hear you analyze him too.
Hey there, been following for a while and I'm really enjoying your content. It's very enlightening for someone like me who tries to sing but doesn't have any kind of study or experience behind it.
Would you consider doing an episode about Daryl Palumbo from Glassjaw in the future?
Something I find really hard to replicate is how he seems to transition from clean vocals to "screeching" (apologies for the non-technical terms).
In any case, thanks for all the great lessons!
Oh man what a strong vocal character that doesn't sound cliche! Great breakdown!
Man, Its really COOOOOL!!!!!! THANKS for analysis)
didn't expect to see a video about chino.
he does one of my favourite high pitches in music. also some of the melodies he writes are absolutely brilliant in terms of creativity and range. examples: beware, option (from his other band Crosses), 976-evil and (l)mirl.
another thing I love about his vocals (the production is also responsible for this) make you hear notes that aren't even there even during the quiter/simpler bits. thanks for this great video!
Beware is one of my favorites. I love the way he sings the chorus. So much fun to sing along.
Oh my God... you finally did that Chino vocals thingy. 😱💙💙💙 Love you Man!
Great video man. This actually helps a lot. I too, am a vocalist. And I naturally do the whisper singing because I can’t actually sing. Haha. But now that I’ve watched this, I can understand to control it better. Subscribed. Cheers m8.
Hey. First time watching the channel. Justed wanted to say it's very helpful. I think I tend to tell myself that I already know how to do this stuff, but hearing the way you're explaining and demonstrating is actually super helpful. 👍
Welcome to the channel! Thanks so much for watching and commenting! :)
This is mostly because Chino "eats" the microphone, thus giving a much more realistic sound to how he sings. Excellent.
Duuuuude you're awesome! got a new suscriber! ;)
This is awesome to watch after all these years emotionally listening to Deftones and chino's voice :) I'm so happy for the band's legacy. RIP Che.
This is great 👍. NEW DEFTONES COMING SOON!!!
My band is recording our first album/EP and I keep coming back to this video for inspiration on the vocals. This is great stuff man.
Awesome, glad you're enjoying!
Where can you hear it?
@@user-p6-3561 Nowhere yet, we're still working on stuff haha it's a slooowwwww process for us. I'll post here if/when we ever finish.
Ughhh I feel like my request on one of your other videos was answered
The thing i like about Deftones is that the vocal performances on their albums always sound raw and you can often hear his voice straining under the pressure. But rather than edit it out and go for a 'perfect' take for every vocal line, they leave it in. So the end result is more authentic, passionate and impactful - credit must go to terry date for defining this approach.
i can’t be the only one who hears “GYATTT BOREDDD” when he was screaming right? 😭😭😂😂
Not the only one :)
Man you explain these so good! I would love to see a video about Einar Solberg!
So cool man! I’ve noticed how well production works for Chino... Could you dive into vocal production for different kinds of styles at some point?? Best wishes from Spain!! And stay safe!!
chino expresses emotions thru his voice better than anyone... but eddie Vedder is right along next to him.
This is excellent! I have watching your videos for a long time now! I'm a fan. I request that you do an analysis of John Rezneck from Goo Goo Dolls, particularly on songs like "Iris" "Black Balloon" and "Long Way Down." He's got such an excellent lower range, and a great consistent sound that carries through his range! Thanks for the videos! Very helpful.
