Benjamin Burnley Vocal BREAKDOWN: The Diary of Jane w/ ISOLATED Studio Tracks (Sing Like, Reaction) 

It's so interesting to hear some of the "imperfections" in the isolated vocals like the "uh" or the unstable clean vocals behind the screams. I always end up redoing takes thinking, "How do you get that absolutely perfect like these big time vocalists?"

Ben hits a C5 in backing vocals of Breath, it's impressive

Benjamin Burnley is one of my favourite rock vocalists! Thanks for doing this, Chris and Merry Christmas!!

Taking me back to the age of seventeen when I was quite certain that it was "the diarrhea Jane." Whatever that is.

I love the way he uses light and dark in his singing, at the same time extremely articulate and particular in the way he sings. It’s so refined! Truly awesome

adam on never too late. his grit on some of those lines in the chorus is remarkable

Also, I would love a voice breakdown in Give Me A Sign vocals., there's a lot of interesting things happening in the bridge after the second chorus with that falsetto in the background, and also in the end, where the "give me a sign" line is presented in very different ways. A video about that song would be super nice!

My favorite song and favorite band. Really is Christmas. Merry Christmas Chris

Ben’s lower background vocals is where we get the comparison to MIW!

The entire album is about ones greatest fears and Diary of Jane being about mostly the fear of loss (Benjamin Burnley's being flying and driving, explaining the album cover.) And I truly get the sense of fear through the way Benjamin sings. It's amazing!

I haven't listened to breaking Benjamin in years. You should break down their drums. The guy they had around this time was a huge contribution to their sound in my opinion. A fantastic musician I believe his name is Chad Szeliga

Tracking vocals for my band's EP and Ben is a huge inspiration for me. Perfect video to start Christmas! Also merry Christmas!

I can already sing his songs well, but I was missing that information about all the doubles and different tones used to really bring it together. This will definitely help me to experience with singing his songs and hopefully getting better, thank you for this informational and awesome video 👍

I absolutely LOVE your approach on explaining this concept.

I love his voice and it is an awesome insight in how it all comes around.

This is fantastic! One of my favourite songs with this band and hearing him just in the raw is fascinating! And then you break it down!

Super stoked I love this! Thank you!

Man, you could analyze every syllable in this song. Brilliant work, Chris!

Awesome breakdown of the vocals man! love it.

Never noticed how similar Ben's vocal style is to Chris Motionless's in this song until I saw this video!

Merry Christmas mr. Liepe! Thanks for all the videos and helpful lessons you provide for us. Best wishes! 🇲🇽

My favourite band and vocalist. Thanks for that analyse

Yay. Looking forward to more individual Three Days Grace & Breaking Ben videos.

Merry Christmas!I’ll be around for Conor Mason even when you’re 90 and I’m close to 70 I’ll still be around waiting 🕯 “isolated” is so useful btw it’s just so much in depth!!

Wooooo 🤘🏾🖤🔥.... I was expecting BB to be here, I've been trying to nail this for 5-6 months 😎😏

So interest and fun !.

BB never die!!!

Breaking Benjamin is one of my fav bands and as a singer and independ producer ,I love to sing their songs and analize their admirable productions. Your videos and your work has helped me in a lot of ways in my own singing and songs, so thank you so much or this. Please keep this series up and do more Benjamin Burnley if possible :) Merry Chistmas Chris!

This is so so coool!!!

Great video of one of my favorite songs for the Holidays Sensei Chris! I'm surprised that you did one on this song when you talked about it more than any other song on your how to sing video for Benjamin.

Awesome!!!

Hi again Chris! This is one of my favs. Thanks for bringing this isolated tracks and breaking down into pieces for easy understanding. I am learning this on my 7-string guitar (I’m a toral noob on any guitar) hoping that one day I can sing as I play. 🤓 Merry X’mas and Happy New year Chris!!!

I was anticipating the third of the chord! Even before you said you were gonna add another scream! I would've liked that.

Thanks for sharing this. It's interesting. Technique helps definitely...

Don't forget he is in chronic pain, adds quite a lot to the lyrics and emotion

Awesome video.

youre getting really really good at introducing your videos, good shit br000

Amazing! You could do that to "Slipknot - AOV", it would be awesome!

I cant wait for a Tim buckley video ! thanks so much for your video Chris !!

Great video! Your analysis is really insightful. You missed out the choir part on the last chorus that Ben sings. Adds a bit of depth.

Hey Chris, you made a very interesting themes video👍 Good job👍💪

Sounds like some Korn influence... especially on the phrase “in my place”

Hey Chris. I love the variety and the vocalists you've been choosing. Ones that stand out to me that I'd love to see some of your input on would be LaJon Witherspoon of Sevendust and Jesse Hasek of 10 Years.

Wow the consonant thing for background vocals is an issue I’ve faced for so long. How have I never thought to just try softening them for the background takes 🤦‍♂️😂

It would be cool to hear the isolated vocal tracks for So Cold. I know there aren't as many layers, but it'd still be interesting.

Merry Christmas! Isolated Periphery would be awesomeness! They mix their own music, too!

Chris, for the love of god, please do a video on Brian Johnson. They boys are back with an amazing album this year, and as huge fan of them, I want to learn what method Brian uses! (and of course how to sing like him too!) I couldn't find a proper video on how to sing like him or his technique, and your videos are always full of information and I actually can understand the "feeling" from your videos. I hope you'll see this! Big thanks for all of your efforts!

I always thought it would be cool for you analyze Jens Kidman from Meshuggah. I think his work across his whole career but specifically on songs like Future Breed Machine from Destroy, Erase, Improve are perfect examples of being kind of a "noteless" screamer but still staying in key with the band. I think a lot of what he does compositionally could be really fun to check out. Also Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays!

Thank you so much for reacting to and dissecting my favorite rock singer of all time (in contrast to metal which is James Hetfield lol). I find Ben very underrated as a _vocalist_ even though his band became famous partly due to this song. He’s not appreciated as much as say Chester Bennington or Chris Cornell, who were also amazing singers. Thanks again, Chris! Love your videos

I love singing tourniquet im a multi mimicing vocalist with death metal background but this is my favorite type of style and range

Thanks for the amazing videos! It would be amazing if you did a Brian Jonhson vocal breakdown. I think you could get a lot of details about his singing and its very diferent to anyother you have done before.

You would love breaking down Manson's studio vocals as well then!

I've listened to this song nigh upon a thousand times, and never did I realize just how staccato the "WHAT HAVE I BE COME" line is. In the full mix, it just sounds like each syllable flows into the next one. But in this, you can hear him deliberately have that 16th note rest between each syllable. Super interesting.

nice

First one here! Merry Christmas, Chris!

Dance with the Devil vocal analysis PLEASE

I'd love to see you unpack the song "waiting on the sky to change" by starset featuring breaking benjamin!!! Love the videos!

Love the video. Sound of silence by Disturbed singer would be awesome.

Could you pleaseeee do Aaron Lewis of Staind please!

These are always such a treat. Do you manage to get ahold of these isolated tracks through connections? Just curious. Also, I have recently REALLY got into The Dreadnoughts, a punk rock band that pulls inspiration from lots of different music... then punking them up. I'd love to hear a breakdown or analysis of Nick's vocals. This is all REALLY inspiring by the by. Just wanted to thank you :)

I was literally just wondering if you did anything on BB and quite happy that you did! Do you show how to sing in his style, apart from a single song?

Do the breath vocal tracks by them, his voice is so insane in that somg

Great !!! What about a video about Sandra Nasic from Guano Apes ??

Still would love dustin kensrue!!

Jake Luhrs vocal breakdown!!

Id love to see a video on jacoby shaddix's vocals from papa roach

waiting for a Myles Kennedy breakdown! :)

It would be very nice if you'd make a breakdown of Little piece of heaven from A7X

Thank you for making this video could you please make a video on blow me away oh by the way Mary Christmas 🎄🎄

fantastic video! i'd love to see a breakdown of Mario Judah's vocals, his effortless, screamy belts are really unique and captivating.

Hey Chris, huge fan of Breaking Benjamin, so its very interesting to see this breakdown. I am currently thinking about starting your vocal course, but I cant find any pricing info on it. Im just a poor student, mind telling me in what range the pricing is? :D

Which program do you use for recording? I have a mic just sitting around and I'd like to play around with the program to see what I can do.

No wonder this song got double platinumed

Amazing video!! Could you cover a vocal track of Staind.

Sir react to rajesh nepali my heart will go on his voice is so powerful and he is so underrated

I remember you were doing a roast a note game, but I never saw a follow-up video on that. Is that coming at all?

Where can we find these isolated vocal tracks?

Hey Chris, how do you figure out the levels for each of the vocal tracks that you add and how much they need to be panned? I struggle with layering because many times I feel like when I hear my layered vocals with the instrumental I can make out that they are many overlapping tracks, and it's not subtle enough like actual songs.

Brent Smith please

Wonderful job. I would love you to unpack Nirvana's "Rape Me".

Hello chris liepe can you do make video how to sing mix voice like dimah kudaibergen and can you make video about whistle voice please please please please please please please

Hey Chris Liepe, I want to know your opinion on this because of your credibility. Who has more powerful or angelic vocal’s between Daniel Johns or Ben Burnley

How do you extract all those different loops?

Isolated brendon urie?

Dude, whats the 3rd song that appears in his intro, it sounds amazing

Could you do this with Doomed by Bring Me the hoizon, with the isolated vocals from Oli Sykes AND Jordan Fish's ones

Isolated Oli Sykes?

Damn

Thanks so much Chris - you helped me a lot on this song as I prepared for our final performance in the Adult School of Rock Showcase here in Frisco, TX! Along with your other videos on types of distortion that also helped, I feel good about my performance. Check it out if you have a sec: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mxQlZ4NQ2DQ.htmlsi=_zcv0oCjxxDW5MtZ. While I have some Choir background, know that I've only been singing rock live with a band for about 8 months. Thanks!

So the key to good *production* vocals is doubling. You still have to be good at singing, but the common thread between most rock songs are doubled vocals.

19:07 DIARRHEA

That's a lot of doubling!

What program is that?
