Bad Omens - Like A Villain - Noah Sebastian VOCAL ANALYSIS (How To Sing & Scream Like) 

Noah Sebastian is even better live than he is on the records. I saw Bad Omens on March 1st as part of the Underoath tour, and I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY by Noah Sebastian. He was easily the best performer of the night. I was really hoping you’d do one of these videos with him

The fact that he actually sounds so desperate and hopeless while singing the "I'll be holding on" line, adds so much to the character he's building throughout the entire song, it's brilliant in every way

I fell in love with Bad Omens the moment I first heard them. Noah's voice was just so haunting and awesome that I couldn't stop listening. He became my favorite singer so quickly I was shocked. I'm so glad to see people breaking his voice down like this and giving us a deeper insight of what he does. Please do more videos about him! 🤘🏻🧡🙏🏼

“The Grey” or “Just Pretend” NEEDS TO BE NEXT. His singing is phenomenal in these as well. Great video! You gained a sub 👍🏼

Not only is Noah amazing vocally the fact that he also does a majority of the producing and writing all their lyrics alongside Jolly is so insane. He’s a rare gem for sure. I found them randomly and listened to the entire Death of Peace of Mind album in one sitting and I’ve yet to get tired of it. I was instantly a fan. I recently saw them live and although they were definitely tired because it was right before they announced their break, they were still mind blowing. They just keep getting better and better.

Noah is a Siren. He got us all with his absolut Angelic Voice and his overall Talent. I so sooo hope to see even more of Bad Omens in the Future. Seeing them life in January 🙏🏻🙏🏻

This video explains why I have a total out of body experience when I listen to them. It’s all that emotion packed into Noah’s vocal technique. So cool.

Would love to see more analysis of Noah's screams. Dethrone or Artificial Suicide are 👌

My wife got me hooked on Bad Omens literally two days ago, and I’m mad I hadn’t heard them before. Noah’s voice is so unique, and after your critique of his vocal abilities, it makes a lot more sense why my ears gravitated to it. Can’t wait to see them live.

The song THE DEATH OF PEACE OF MIND is a must listen

I always considered noah to be a countertenor because of his range 🤔 but his falsetto is crazy in this song and the control he has and the ability to flip registers and switch between the fry scream and cleans are absolutely epic! And i love hownyebimcotoerates the cries as he sings and uses certain wirds and tones to make that trampoline affect into ither words and tones. Im helplessly in love with his vocal ability and agility

I love how Noah preforms this song live. When he says “I think you’ve overstayed you’re welcome in so go the fuck away, don’t come again.” He screams the go the fuck away and it adds that emotion to the song. I feel like Noah is such a wonderful performer and I can’t wait to see them live. Also the live version of dethrone change my whole out look on Noah he is only getting better and it would be wild if he re recorded some of the older stuff with his new vocal techniques. So much love.

I am so happy to see this!! Noah Sebastian is hands down my favourite vocalist and is largely the reason I pursue singing and screaming after a decade away from it. Absolutely loved this breakdown, fantastic work!! If you want something that is almost polar opposite, his live performance of Dethrone are beyond amazing!

I thought this band was just a decent metalcore band until I saw them in concert, on the Underoath tour with Spiritbox and Stray From the Path. He sounds twice as good live as he does on the records, his screams were exceptionally brutal on Dethrone, very good.

I saw them on Feb 23rd in Pheonix. I was there to see Spiritbox, but they were right before and I was absolutely BLOW AWAY on how he uses his falsetto. He sings in such a nice range that I can replicate really well, and it feels like its harder to find singers that actually use their falsetto well and uniquely like Noah does. Thanks for analyzing this!

This is my favorite vocal analysis to date. I love Bad Omens and Noah is my favorite vocalist. His talent in not only vocals but writing and producing is unmatched in modern music. The way this was broken down was so interesting and informative. I loved it!

Your reactions are my reactions. Your analysis is so right on. As a singer, I'm in awe of Noah's vocals, his skills and agility.

Chris, pleeeease do a vocal analysis of noah singing dethrone (the live version) its just unreal!

I have been really sad recently and felt like really numb but then i find this song by bad omens and your analysis of it and its really inspired me to get back into music and really appreciate it., Good one man. love the work, keep it up x

Operatic is what I think best describes his voice in a lot of parts. Powerful yet delicate.

I first heard Bad Omens’ “Limits” and loved Noah’s clean vocals. And then after hearing “Dethrone” I thought: HOLY SHIT! This is the same dude? Fan-fucking-tasting work Bad Omens!

You should analyze “The Grey” by Bad Omens. Incredible song.

i'm feeling every damn emotion you're feeling

I can’t get over how good this song is and the whole band in general. Only just heard them for the first time about a week ago, and already consider them one of my new favorite bands

incredible noah, great participation in the last album

YES I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG

been searching ages for someone to do a video on Noah and i’m so glad you’re the one to explain how his voice technique works. he has such a unique voice and way of singing/screaming and this was super helpful

Chris it has been awesome to see your music taste evolve. I do not exactly know how long you've been into bands like architects and bad omens but I find it funny that so many classic rock youtubers are adapting to the music of today. Bad Omens is one of my favorite bands. Saw them the other night with Underoath and it was absolutely incredible. It is just great to see so much appreciation and excitement in your videos when it comes to these revolutionary new bands.

The power of christ compels you Chris😂 Im not familiar with this band but man i want to check them out now. I like the comparison to nothing but thieves as well. Hes got a great voice😎

Amazing singing lesson. Noah is a BEAST!

THANK YOU SO MUCH CHRIS, I didnt expect you to know about this one!

Your videos are amazing, and the fact that you're integrating it with bands like this makes it insanely better.

I love that you did a video on Bad Omens, I melt when I hear their songs & production mixed with Noah’s vocal skill and agility. Most people don’t hear these things so I’m stoked you did a break down on them 🤘🏻

The first verse of the singing I swear I thought there was a female vocalist but it was him. Just insane its so damn good tho he's a great vocalist.

Bad omens and spiritbox are my newest fav bands for sure

Palaye Royale is also on sumarian. Remington Leith is also a great vocalist. Saw them in LA and they ripped the roof off of The Palladium.❤️

My favourite vocalist in the metalgenre! Glad you made this video Chris!:)

Finally. Been waiting for a video on them. Much deserved. That's how you know if a Band's made it, they've been discussed by Chris Liepe.

YSSSS THANK YOU CHRIS!!!!!

Ive seen them live in january, he sounds as if not better live than on record it adds that little spice. He changes some things so people know he is actually singing live and its insane to say the least

Im pretty sure Zakk Cervini did the mixing or production on this, and has done lots of other really high quality work with other artists, including a few on sumarian like you said. Hes literally on another level and I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up being one of the biggest out there. His work is absolutely incredible

Watching you talk through his technique made me realise what I find so fascinating in his voice. The vibrato! Can't think of any other male singer in this genre that uses vibrato and not mane female singers either. It definitely adds emotion behind the words and makes his voice memorable. Also can't think of many who master totally opposite singing styles so well and make it seem so effortless and easy.

Yesssss Noah is an incredible vocalist!!

Just found a new favourite band thanks to you! that album is INSANE! If you aren’t aware of him already you need to check out the new singer for Monuments Andy Cizek, he is probably one of the most inspiring vocalists for me in terms of technical ability right now. He will blow your mind - would love to see you do a breakdown video of one of their tracks

I saw them in Fayetteville at the last show before covid. It was a bar I used to regular on the weekends to see small time metal bands. Could fit maybe 100 people and it was the February right after their first song hit 10 mil on Spotify. I had been listening to them since the first album came out and I heard they were coming around and I wanted to go but I had no idea it would be packed all the way out to the parking lot and I was right at the stage

I absolutely love Noahs voice and would love to see you do this with all his songs lol

Thank you sooooo MUCH ! I waited for this video !!! Thanks again ! It's AWESOME :D ! Couldn't be happier !

For sure have to check out Take Me First and also The Grey Noah for sure reached like god status. He’s such an amazing vocalist

YEEES, I WAS WAAITING FOR THAT!

Chris, thank you SO much for reacting to Bad Omens AND one of my favourite tracks from their new album. I’ve got a smile from ear to ear right now!

I was absolutely pleasantly surprised you mentioned Conor Mason, that dude is an amazing singer and I've just gotten into Bad Omen's and love Noah's vocals now too

Is such a pleasure to see you make those vocal analisys, Chris. You are just the best teacher out there, mate. Cheers from Brazil.

Damn Chris I’m glad you did this because now I have a new band to dig into! Absolutely awesome vocalist!

Wow, I haven't seen Chris this excited while breaking down a vocalist's style!

Plz do more bad omens vocal reactions!! I can't get enough 😜

Love this song and the way you break it down. Especially when you mentioned Conor Mason because I love his voice so much.

I need more bad omens analysis videos asap!

Fucking love it!!! Please do more of Bad Omens please! or more music from this scene, it was an awesome analysis!!!

This was fantastic sir! Thank you for the analysis 🤘

And as always content is 🔥 thank you Chris

Thankkk you!!!

Thanks for this video

He is a great singer. Thanks for analysis 👍

Another banger of a video Chris! Noah has an amazing voice! I've requested this before but PLEASE do a video on Holding Absence. Their singer Lucas is a tenor in the same vein on another level, I'm sure you'll be absolutely floored by his voice. Especially check out some live performances if you can. They are touring the US in April and if you like what you hear you have to see them live. He is phenomenal!

Great video, analysts and more... great insight on tonal placement and dynamics with character.

Wow okay well from this video I went down a rabbithole and this band is quickly becoming a favorite! I’d love to see you dig more into different songs from their recent album. A really cool amount of diversity!

Chris u HAVE to check out his old stuff. In this new album he said he'd approach this new style of singing. But his old style is also golden. His raspiness and grit and vulnerabilty, is off the charts. Listen to their 1st hit "Worst In Me" or sum like "The Letdown". You won't be dissapointed with what u can unpack there

Amazing Video !!

I love Bad Omens so much! Great video Chris, would love to see a analysis on the live video of dethrone his lows on that is sooo sick!

dude you're awesome, awesome analysis

Very cool video. I'm no vocalist and I surely don't know how to properly use my voice if I wanted to try singing, so hearing you describe all of these things in great detail is amazing.

bro! you're so fun to watch!

Nice to see how much you enjoyed this, Chris ! So much to unpack indeed, Noah was great with pitched screaming and soft singing from the start of the band, he also produces as his job, so those production compliments could go partly if not entirely to him haha

Noah has Corey Taylor-esque screams, its incredible

Man, I was hoping you would go into the way he yelps the "I" in the 3rd line of the 2nd verse. But other than that amazing insights and explanations into how Noah does what he does. Like a few others I saw him proform this live. It's absolutely incredible.

Awesome great music song 🔥🔥🔥

This analysis is so great, Noah’s voice is just perfect. Annddd you really should do an analysis of Dimash if you want to be blown away by a voice 💕

Thanks so much for this reaction! You hit all the points I needed help with and illuminated new things for me to consider. You and Noah make it sound so effortless. For requests, Nothing But Thieves since you mention them. Also Winston McCall from Parkway Drive since you recently did your vid on Architect's Impermanence. Winston's aggressive vocals is a goal for me

God sir, I love your video. This is just effortlessly fun education that is easily to digest. I once joined a private vocal class for almost a year and I felt like learned nothing. Thank you so much!

awesome video, thank you.

Im very far from a singer, im just starting to learn how to controll my voice, but Noah songs and his voice… I feel how much work and effort he has spent…thats not just amazing, that game of the voice blows my mind, gorgeous. Hope some day ill learn how to sing and also scream)) Cause emotions with screaming thats… goosebumps

Had the pleasure of seeing them live. It was still the finding god before god finds me era i have yet to see them play these new songs live but omg its even better live. He sounds just like he does on the record its crazy! You aughta check out ice nine kills when you can! Alittle more screams going on but spencer is another one of those really unique singers in metal.

im begging you do to more of these about noah! love your videos!!

Whoa, this is powerful. Literally 5 minutes ago I ran into this song for the first time on a different channel, and halfway through I was like I think Chris has a breakdown video on this, so I came over immediately, and sure enough you do. I had also had noticed those sighs/breaks in his vocals, which really makes it hit so hard ..so powerful! *[So I ordered a PC, should be here tomorrow, Wed the latest. Been actively on your channel almost two years now waiting for Starlink internet and a PC So that I would be able to join your course, and also take private lessons after. Hard to believe finally we'e here!!

I recently got into this band.....It's great to hear the breakdown. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼 now Mastodon Chris come on is 3 singers in one band :)

Fun fact there are 7 songs live when was covid and sounds amazing

I've never seen your work before but found this through a related video. Fantastic content.

Hey Chris great analysis. Next could you please do Rody Walker from Protest the Hero, I'd really appreciate your views on his style

You should take a look at the singing of Imminence. Absolutely incredible what their singer can do

I would love Noah to react to this video !!

Man this is so awesome your doing a vocal analysis on Bad Omens. Noah is an amazing vocalist and I've watched live videos as well and he sounds just as good. The Death Of Peace Of Mind really showcases his vocal abilities throughout the album. It's been on repeat for me \m/

Been covering Bad Omens for a while and I can't keep up with his talent going up and up 😂

First time watching your channel and it’s crazy informative. Love it dude.

His voice is the closest to my vocal range (along with brad Arnold of 3dd) and im literally obsessed with singing bad omen songs bc i feel confident in my voice when i sing their songs, minus the screams and growl ugh i wish so bad i could do his screaming parts without hurting my voice

Seeing bad omens for the first time tuesday!! Tuesday!! Theyre playing with in this moment and ded. So f*cking excited!!

Yeah best of the greatest singer n.sebastian Amazing modern music song nice emotional

Dude your voice and voice explatition is fucking UNBELIEVABLE well done 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

Request: Please make a video on Remington Leith, especially the live acoustic stuff where you can really hear that raspy voice.

Gotta throw out that Sharptone Records has also been cranking out some heaters. Noah is a gaht damn beast

Listen to Nerve Endings from Too Close To Touch. There is a lot of switching between head and chest voice on that song as well. These two were buddies. RIPKeeps
