www.mymusicalvoice.com/p/how-...
Developing your "belt voice" requires finesse and attention to detail. Simply singing louder or shouting will work against you and leave you feeling frustrated.
Join Jonny Craig and Chris Liepe as they unpack Jonny's belting technique and learn how to think about your singing dynamics and support differently so that you can truly soar with your voice!
You can tell Jonny has no fucking idea about the science behind his voice, he just does it. Lol. He truly is gifted.
All his technical knowledge goes into hard drugs and scamming people out of imacs 😂
I do love Jonny as a vocalist though, his voice is insane
in one of these episodes he said himself one of the most important parts of his singing is just "vibing" makes sense, when you see him sing its always like he's focusing on something completely different than singing. dude just makes it work.
@@ren2089 oh yeah, for sure. For Jonny to do what he does, he doesn't really need to understand the technical mechanics. It all just flows from his soul, lol
Jonny has amazing mechanics but he has no idea what he's actually doing. He has these little cues that work for him but when he says them they mean absolutely nothing lmao
@@andrewdevall4438 maybe that's why chris liepe is there, he's doing a pretty good job at decoding and traducing jonny's vocals lol
To this day jonny is still the best voice I’ve ever heard
Vessel from sleep token is pretty god damn good. He and Jonny are by far the best
Holy fuck how it comes so naturally to him. It's actually insane.
I would do unspeakable things to be able to sing 1/10th as well as Jonny.
Well Jonny already sings well and he did unspeakable things anyways lol
I’m like halfway there, but like, still not even close lol
@@Dyingxdawn i feel u people say i sound like him and i love jonnys songs from dgd n emarosa and slaves but i cant nail his vibrato and dynamics yet
I also would do unspeakable things to just hear it live, one on one
@@cheesybiscuit7616 made me scream oml, I was gonna say well Johnny did unspeakable things maybe that’s how he got his incredible voice 😂
This is amazing instruction 🤘🏼
Hello , I'm your sub
Oh, hello there!
Totally
Would love to hear you cover a Jonny song!
i love you
Jonny's insanely talented and his sobriety is such a blessing. He obviously doesn't take himself deep in the technical side and still slays. I'd love to know more about his study routines though.
Great material as always! Loving it since the first video.
Love from Brazil!
Oh did he get clean?
@@droptherapy2085 yeah ever since he had his youngest child with his gf
@@mister_christopher you love to see that
For almost 10 years. I've always been fascinated by how Jonny does his techniques. He's literally built different when it comes to this style
Mad love for Jonny. I really feel like he could have one of the most epic come backs.
Side note: Find your voice and let it kill you is such a dope name
:)
Track stars from the bay is def him back to belting.
The problem is that every time he gets himself back together, people bring up his past and dont know that hes clean and better. They comment saying stuff like "oh this stupid guy who ripped people off and did some drugs before" as if hes not human overcoming his past. Jonny is the greatest rock singer of all time but the people talking about him are what stop him being internationally a treasure to human history.
If he ever goes back to his dark times its cuz the people forced him back there whenever he tries to change
I think it’s so cool to have the Artist we’re listening to in the recording, actually be there in the studio to jump in and show us how he got there!
YES YES YES!!!!!
Johnny deserves more than a 13 minute video. Glad you're sober and working dude, music needs voices like yours.
He's got a lot more than that :) !! Sign up for his free course we talked about in the beginning of this video, check out the other videos that he's done on this channel and he's also got a lengthy singing/songwriting and production course coming out later this month!
@@chrisliepe I realized he had more after I commented. Dudes got a hell of a talent. Thanks for the reply, Chris! Been watching your vids for some time now, so much awesome content.
Dude he is so good live I remember when my band opened up for him he was so nice he stood in the crowed and watched us play when he was in slaves lost my mind
that's dope
I remember years ago I added his name on Snapchat and sent random videos over the weeks, next thing I know me and Jonny Craig were just snapping each other lol. He’s a real dude, crazy skills I can’t wait for his next band!
Duds, what was your band called?
He hits women too, sooo gooood
@@emzz2263 did he hit you? No? Then stfu oppression Olympics
I listen to Jonny every day. Favorite artist. His voice never gets old.
This is the first video I've seen of Jonny actually dissecting his own voice. I don't listen to this type of music much anymore but I still love singing and I've been listening to Jonny for like 12 years and still struggle with hitting his notes so this is fun. Thanks!
Jonny analogizing his singing to driving a car....I'm over here wrecked on the side of the road in my hoopty.
Lol hopefully you just didn’t fill it with any gas rather than having completely wrecked your voice
Jonny, such a beautiful voice. It’s truly a divine gift. I do wish you the best.
love it, beautiful variety and richness of expressive vocalizations. thank you so much both of you! really great made my day, along with also the previous Johnny Craig video also excellent another door to open / world to explore. cannot thank you enough
That was insanely insightful. This goes along perfectly well with the other video about singing runs, like using placement to emphasize certain notes/syllables. Awesome stuff!
it's the classical musical concept of call & response. He's mastered weaving those soft delicate vocals right between his belts which makes it feel extremely dynamic and emotionally charged. But like most notables singers, it's not necessarily even his technique, but his timbre supporting that great tone everyone knows and loves. A lot of people have tried to sing like Jonny but his unique tone always stands out. Still a great video though and an awesome share!
Just halfway through the video. It is already amazing!! Great technique!! A must see, much to get out of for all singers of any style. The Free course was great too! Thanks again for the wealth of knowledge and empowerment. Great way to start the day.
Liepe, you’re the man. You break down and point out the things that we never think about which is so crucial to singing. In fact, no other teacher I’ve come across falls way short/doesn’t even come close to covering the crucial stuff when comparing to you. Thank you brother!
One of my all time favorite singers AND one of the best vocal coaches on UA-cam in a video together?! I'm stoked to watch this!
Like always, Great Lessons and Thanks to all of you for the free Course, Really cool too!
I’ve been listening to him since like 2005, he’s my favorite vocalist of all time.
Jonny is great in the full instructional videos. He says "All Macbooks aside" when talking about how to steal/gain influence from other artists. lol
Who is he stealing/gaining influence from? Just another shitty comment from a shitty person acting like he hasn’t contributed to music.
wow! I can't believe this is free. This is probably the best video on this channel.
Voice of an angel
His voice is pure magic, no other artist has the same level of “effect” when hearing his craft imo. When I stumbled upon this vocals in a few bands I was and am hooked. Ugh so good.
“Click the link below, it’s called find your voice and let it kill you; and I will take you deeper than you’ve ever been.” The camera cuts and everyone is laughing in the background I about spit my drink out there 🤣🤣
"Whatever You Say is Royal Ocean"
Chris I'm watching Johnny's Let it Kill you Lesson. His biggest strength is PASSION! I don't know Johnny or his music, but it's obvious to me his sound starts with passion, all else follows.
oh boy. you have some seriously jaw dropping music to check out!
Most beautiful voice I have ever heard. I've been following Jonny's musical projects since '06 or so, and I'm still blown away to this day when I hear him sing. I do not care what people think of him as a person, he's truly beyond gifted.
As a Baritenor I can vocally relate to Ol Jonny! We have a similar range and tone and it’s definitely helped me sell out venues before! He and I and other baritenors alike sing in the pocket lol Rasp or heated vocals as I call it is soo easily obtainable for us. I miss making music though, The Pandemic kinda put an axe in it for me!
Sounds good haha
The course is amazing as well !
That demo clip in the beginning was amazing
Holy shit. The thing about sing on top of the note clicked instantly allowed me to belt sing without any strain.
Hey Chris!
I love how your channel and Rick Beato's are one of the few channels on an excellence level that artists and pros themselves can show up and talk, leaving after some valuable knowledge exchange. There are moments I can notice you help people get some concepts and explanations aligned on their own art, and that seems priceless!
Couldn't help but notice that while you brought Spencer, Rick brought Misha a couple times as well. Periphery folks are awesome!
And last but not least - hopefully you collab on anything in the future. You are both legends on the niche of your contents! Vocals are definitely Rick's biggest gap, so maybe there's convenience in there! (maybe even make him a good singer? lol)
Take care!
I’d love to do a collab with Rick!
dude i am so glad you were able to make this happen
Great and helpful video guys!!
Crazy I've been wanting this knowledge since I started singing always been a fan of his singing style
Very fascinating to watch, thanks!
Got the whole course and found my voice and Spencer and Jonny are monsters on the mic!
Great instruction, will definitely check out his course :)
Mr. Liepe, you are damned legend. Love what you do ! Your courses are invaluable to me.
I've been waiting for thiss!!!!
his voice is so unique
Jonny has been one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE Vocalists..I have been following him since the first DGD record and even before that when he was just coming out in Ghost Runner On third. There is NO denying he has one of the most talented, special voices in ALL OF MUSIC. As Long as he is SOBER, I am his biggest fan. A lot of musicians I enjoy (looking at you Mr. Tim Lambesis) have done some shitty things (Ian Watkins, WHAT?!) Jonny's I can forgive. Being a recovering addict myself, I understand where his head was at during his rough and shitty times. Stay up, Jonny, ONE DAY AT A TIME!
Ghost runner is underrated
@@latanyadavis3037 right!!!??
In case you guys haven't heard this - ua-cam.com/video/VR9eGLWois8/v-deo.html
Bro that’s so facts I’ve been searching for a voice that sounds like his since forever. He has the greatest sounding voice I’ve ever heard in my life
Loving the translation of the lyrics in the captioning. "Each breath the weed sick" is a favorite.
hahaha
Seeing Johnny Craig teach how he sings is legendary
"How To Find Your Voice & Let It Kill You"... Insane how "Jonny C" this sounds... So good. Bukowski would be proud
Jonny's voice is just insane, but what really sells me on this is Chris adapting these things to his own voice. This shows me, that he really knows what he's talking about and can help my voice as well.
I'm sorry to ask you so frequently but here's another question: Should I be worried, if my larynx goes up,if I place the tone more forward? My previous voice trainings were almost like "keep your larynx always neutral" and this really bothers me.
I subscribe to the “natural larynx” idea. High, neutral, low. Wherever is natural and tension free!
3:55 that is why i love JC
My goshhhhh I love this !!!
Thanks man. This was fun to watch.
Glad you enjoyed it!
To me I've always wanted a track with Jonny Craig and Christina Aguilera. That's a future banger
Because they both love their melisma.
super talented.... prolly my fav singer
Rock with Jonny Craig more. He's got a voice that kills you, with mystery and passion.
I have bn waiting for this for years
These sit-down with Johnny Craig vids (even though i don't know of him) have been very helpful. Discovering them two years late apparently. PS: im super jealous of his awesome rasp. 😁
Jonny craig just has the voice, if I wished to have any singing voice out of anyone in history, past or present it's Jonny. He has such a phenomenal voice, I've never used that word in my life, it's just that.
Hell yes! Haha I've been wanting this one for ages.
Hope you like it!
@@chrisliepe I did!
This was a game changer dudes! The idea of "filtering" the tonality and power of the belt using back/forward placement was something I'd never personally realized or really thought about before!
Jonny is a fantastic vocalist; and Chris, you're the perfect teacher that, along with an equally great voice- can "demystify" what's going on and how to reproduce tones, energy, and placement.
Thanks for making such awesome content and courses!
Picturing yourself on top of the note as a visualization just straight up added like a half an octave onto my mixed voice, wow that really connected. Getting up there was few and far between but now i feel super comfortable in that range, this was great. The yoyo jaw from the other video connected a lot too, i'm stoked for the work you've done with Jonny. Can't wait to get into the class
Edited for grammar
This is AWESOME
This was a good one!
Dude just looks good, and sounds better than ever! He's gained some sexyness, but that's way better than being dead because we all need that voice
Thanks Guys
Jonny just closes his eyes and lets his soul do the singing
Jonny Craig = vocal freaking legend squared plus freaking genuine emotional place of origin…resulting in something that cannot be taught
The best vocal coaches.
Thx!
Jonny craig has the most beautiful voice ever 😍
Number one. Voice of a God.
Amazing vid!Will you do the past should stay dead?
LEGENDARY!!!!!
I don't know if I should belt in mixed chest voice or full on rasp and power but it also depends upon the song and the part of it. Higher parts I sing mostly in mixed voice but with lower parts the powerful rasp may be better.
Women cant belt tho
Solid belting
This was dope
This is interesting I’m not copying anyone but Jonny has this weird thing I’ve been trying to emulate a bit in my voice. It’s truly harder than it sounds and is really impressive. His higher notes when he’s belting is impressive to say the least.
I wonder if you could do something like this with Spencer? Maybe you could do something on the dynamics of aggressive vocals?
Everybody is talking about the lesson I’m more concerned about what tf he was recording in the beginning?! He’s doing rock stuff again?
Jonny an OG in my book
Dude was born with a gift
Very interesting... it seems to me that articulation changes drastically in a word TAKE. Diphthong 'ay'. Sometimes I hear the beginning of the diphthong more close to the "i" (as in 'Dip') when Jonny sings "take". When Chris sings "TAKE" to my ear it appears to be more rounder, closer to "oh" sound or /ɜ:/ british vowel as in "TURN". I noticed it also when I listened to the different bands...That diphthong is the most difficult sound for me to sing because I am not a native speaker. It would be great to find a video about the ways to sing that vowel.
Rock ON!!!!! ✊
I mean, we can banter about the technicalities all day but 90 percent of the greatest singers in history had no vocal training until later in their career. It is a natural gift for alot of them and it’s great that we can dissect the process more these days but it’s not a weakness to not understand that process if you have the gift. Most don’t though
I recently found Jonny uploading to twitch. Just random live streams, some gaming and humming about. He has some footage of him and a buddy doing the actual producer side of some songs, legit coming up with stuff on the fly and BSin in the chat. I was missing him; glad he is back. Handle is thepearlboy4l (that's an L)
Hi Chris,
I was wondering if you could help with this question please?:
What is it called/which technique/or how is it best described when a singer/vocalist changes during the chorus of a song??
For example, a track might start with a soft/normal/open/smooth sound and then the chorus kicks in and they're really giving it some.. aha!.. Is it belting, just a higher pitch, more compression?
I'm not really sure what I need to search for, I just know it exists. I'm not 100% happy with how I sound on verses like this, but I absolutley choke to bits when I try and ramp it up for a chorus, which is incredibly deflating :/ I'm just hoping to find out which video I need to search for.
Thanks for any help!
Example of tracks that do this, though I'm sure 95% of the worlds music does it anyway (Hopefully a nice mix of genre's :) ):
"Stars", "Simply Red".
"Iris", "Goo Goo Dolls".
"Many of Horror", "Biffy Clyro" (Simon starts whatever this technique is called in the verse after a softer intro).
"Vienna", "Ultravox".
There's so many more but this is already the worlds longest comment, so I'll probably just sto
You’re referring to the chorus “lift”. They raise in pitch and intensity to create a story arc within the song. It’s so awesome! I love when songs do this!
What mic ARE you recording all these takes through, BTW?
please make a video analyzing daron malakian's voice 🤘🏼
previously preemptive, perfect .46
This is cool!! It seems like you’re fighting each other a little in terms of terminology but ultimately able to find common ground. Does Jonny seem to know what compression is or know if he’s doing it or be conscious of it at all???
Also, is there a difference in muscular effort between that backwards placement and the forward placement??
He has no idea what he’s doing. He just goes. :) but that’s what makes these kinds of singer fun to dissect!
@@chrisliepe haha! Classic talented folk! Thankfully YOU know what you’re doing, Chris. Has Mr Craig learnt anything from you, do you think??
boooooooom!!!
Awesome!!!! YOU GOTTA R E V I T!!!!!
Forgive me but what song is this excerpt Jonny’s singing from? I love his voice and want to find this song!
I just want to hear Jonny belt 🤟
Hey Chris, I want to start using your channel to actually train my voice after years of singing without thought. Can you please suggest which video/area I should start with? (ormaybe one of your courses?)
I'd suggest,you start with the free course to understand the basics like breathing and support. Then you can continue to his discover your voice program to learn more about placement and experiment with your voice. You probably want to have a look at his mixed voice course as well.
Yes start with the free course! Lots is ways to work together from there!
Generally speaking start with breath support and then you can learn about placement and start making your registers more connected and experimenting with your range.
Hey Chris, I keep getting this message when I click on the link (This challenge page was accidentally cached and is no longer available.)
Any advice on how to get past this?
He is like this live! It’s crazy with all those tattoos and scams…he’s voice is angelic
Hey Chris! This may go unnoticed because this is an old video but I have a question. Would you consider Jonny's higher range a mix or a belt? Through years of listening to him I've always noticed that he really doesn't seem to have a genuine falsetto, it just seems so seamless, especially back in the day like during his early dance Gavin dance work and the first Emarosa album especially. I may just be getting hung up on terminology but I would like to know lol. Thank you
He doesn’t get that high really and it is all belt! He doesn’t use any mix techniques.
@@chrisliepe thanks Chris, always appreciate how much you communicate with us! Really great knowing that and you're right, I think his highest note is around an E5 which really isn't that insanely high, probably just the tone and intensity that makes it sound so crazy! Thanks again, you're the best 😁
@@MichaelA-ue8gh bit late but It's safe to say you dig the backseats has genuine falsetto when he says sew the dream (alive)
@@xel_osrs I would personally call that a strong head voice, but that's kind of semantics lol. I think Jonny would probably admit his falsetto/head voice isn't that great, hence why he more often than not belts that part live, rather than uses another mode.
@@MichaelA-ue8gh it's definitely full falsetto. He has a lot of bassy undertones in his voice. It's why everyone tries to label him as a bari-tenor but he doesn't pull down to those low notes. I have a similar voice type to him without having as solid of a timbre
Hi! 'e' vowel (like in bed and set) is my problem vowel. It would be great if your do more videos about that sound. It sounds different the way we speak it I guess!
I've done several videos about EE :) ...But ya a video on the "eh" would be good. Here's the EE videos in case you missed them:
ua-cam.com/video/0Gv8XLv2ccU/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/SCM5reeD_RQ/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/cH6hj9uLYwE/v-deo.html
@@chrisliepe thank you very much, watched them, very useful. But I mean short /e/ vowel like in BED. Also is there a huge difference between /e/ and /ɛ/? Also diphthong /ei/ like in TAKE. How do you produce the first vowel /e/ in that diphthong is it the same like in a word BREATH?
You know I'm not a native speaker we have similar sounds in russian but I think it differs.
Anyway, thank you for your feedback! And it would be great if you'll make video about singing /e/, /ɛ/ and /ei/ vowels! Good luck!
The weekNd does this as well- the whole “letting off the gas pedal” 🤔
Absolutely he does!
I love a Weeknd and Jonny collab
These Jonny lessons are engorging
