I’m a singer who does a lot of live tributes and like cover acts of a lot of the singers you’ve discussed on your channel, I’ve only recently found you, but you’ve given me some really good tips to reach some milestones I’ve been struggling to attain on my own!!!
I love how you don’t cut out your mistakes, it shows how singing should be done, trial and error, much better than the vocal coaches that are too afraid to show anything other than “perfect”
Let me know you like this format for the "sing like" videos vs. some of the other ways I've done them so far!! This one felt best to me so far... more "meat" :) (no copyright issues)
Great idea! Teaching this way is an effective way, because we can apply it to the songs we like. Just like Teaching guitar tabs.. Jeep up the good work
You are officially the best teacher on RU-vid!!! bar none !!!! I`m so tired of Ken Tamplin and his ''lessons'' . You actually teach !! Please stay like that !
Ken tends to dress things up a bit and revert to "paid services", whereas this is more for the art and less for the cash, and I really appreciate that.
I like to call it the myles Kennedy whimper. He does it so much in his fortress album. The singer of opeth does them a lot too. I'm a closet singer as my sister's destroyed my confidence when I was very young but I still would love to be able to sing for myself. Learning vibrato and those "whimpers" would make me happy
Not editing out your mistakes when teaching is so important, I love that about your videos Chris - shows the human side of singing. When even live performances uploaded to RU-vid nowadays are pitch corrected and edited to perfection in the studio and cellphone videos of live shows are taken down by record labels, it's so easy to believe that anyone who calls themselves a "singer" is perfect at what they do, and somehow above humanity. Don't get me wrong - professionals are amazing because they work insanely hard, but everyone makes mistakes. Thanks for being humble!
@@theandiller Mark is a brilliant musician and he's a pretty good singer, I like the dark tone of his voice in contrast with Myles brighter tone, and his more aggressive approach on his solo project. He's in tune and all, but you're right; sometimes on his live solo performances it seems he lacks of a proper technique, mostly reaching high notes. I've noticed he delivers with too much force on live performances, maybe because of the adrenaline of playing live (not to mention singing while playing guitar is HARD) and sometimes it's not that necessary, you should be a little more relaxed to sing. But I've seen he's improving with time, that's a good thing. Also a big AB and Tremonti fan here :)
I've been trying to sing Blackbird to prove to myself that I can. This is gonna help a ton. Thank you so much, Chris. If I ever do record myself, I'll mail it to you.
Myles Kennedy and Freddy Mercury are the 2 all-around best rock vocalists. Between those 2 there is no vocal technique they don't employ. Excellent video and great tips for improving your voice. Well worth any serious singer's time.
Dude this is crazy helpful, i've paid for many in-person voice lessons that were far less insightful and more generalized than your videos. Top-notch stuff mate, please keep them coming, you are turning on a lot of light bulbs for us singers. Big Love Brother x
One of the things that surprises is me with a lot of these videos is it illustrates a lot of things that I constantly do while I sing along to stuff which is a positive thing for me, because now I can improve.
This video is so insightful. 3 years later & I still find myself coming back to pick pieces for myself to use. I really like the way you work thru everything in real time.
So while I had the video on fullscreen, I thought it was so good that I hit Ctrl + A and Ctrl + C. Then I removed my Ctrl and V keys and swallowed them whole. Not only can I now sing like Myles Kennedy, but I too can also teach others how to shell out pipes like the eighth wonder! Thanks so much man!
I loved this video, Chris. This one was an absolute must for me. I was hoping you had done this one and to see you had made me happy. Myles' voice is absolutely incredible and I try to replicate certain aspects of his voice sometimes in my own work. (mostly trying to broaden my range and hit those high notes!) Great video my friend. I seriously appreciate your work.
Dear Chris,I've watched 'em all....and you are hands down the best vocal instructor on youtube.Your channel is going to grow soooo fast. That being said.....I absolutely love the ''Sing like...'' format, and look forward to many ,many more. cheers mate!!
Best Format ever, man... this single video showed me the whole light I needed to solve so many doubs I had, I improved so much just my following these instructions, thanks a lot Chris
Great video! AB is part of my life, day wont go by without me listening to Myles. Could you elaborate at what technique, just how the hell does he do his thing in words darker than their wing? Its unbelievable.
You're a great teacher and singer, thanks for breaking down Myles epic vocal lines, this was a lot of fun to sing along with... the nuances are incredible
I've enjoyed every second of this and not just because I adore Myles Kennedy. What a great lesson! So interesting and accurate. I can't sing a word but I couldn't resist to try something you did. Thank you so much!
Thanks for your videos!! You're doing an amazing job here...! It's so great to see and hear the whole way with all the little offs and wrongs. Best thing ever you don't cut those out!! Thank you
Dear Chris Liepe. I've been thinking and working alot on my singing lately, hoping I can at some point reach my dreams of performing. And at this stage I just really wanted to say thank you. I've been all over the internet and listening to all sorts of teachers telling me all sorts of things but everytime none of them would point out the fact that to sing is to reach the full capacity of your voice without straining your voice just to reach the hardest notes. Out of all of them you really made me look at myself and showed me how I can be more efficient. Your video on how to trick yourself into singing higher for example: absolutely brilliant! You helped me reach the final notes I wanted to reach. When I started I could barely reach the high notes of hey there delilah. In the span of a few minutes I removed all heavy straining of my throat and finally sang Chandelier and Take on me without being sore after. All in just a matter of a few months might I add! Just by documenting the process of how you learned to sing and taking me on that thought train with you. And for that thank you. You're a great teacher and I wish you the best. If you read this I hope it makes your day!
This is just GREAT to hear... EXACTLY why I'm doing this channel :) Thanks for sharing. Have you joined my free voice course yet? We go even more in depth on the stuff you learned in the "Trick Yourself" video.
Oh my ^^ Didn't even know you had a Myles covering Video :o I discovered you a few days ago when i was looking for a potential video that teaches you how to add distortion to your voice. YOU sir really helped me a ton ! Thank you !
Awesome video as always Chris! Myles Kennedy is one of the best rock singer of this era. you are giving away a lot of knowledge in these videos and I love it and also thanks for solving the XLR issue. :)
Fantastic Vocal Teacher, you have an incredible voice and can’t wait to see your channel grow more and more as people learn about your amazing, hidden gem of a channel!
You should do a video on Ian Thornley of Big Wreck. Dude always kind of reminded me of a mix of Myles Kennedy and Chris Cornell, while still very much having his own flavor.
Hands down, most organic way to tap into different singing styles, you love your job and give it all and it shows, best thing on youtube, keep rocking and i hope you can make a living from this channel.
Chris you're such a good teacher, you deserve all the success that will come to you, I'm about to dive deep in your free lessons! Myles is one of my favorite vocalists, now we just need a Matt Bellamy video :D
Man, your videos are in another level. Pretty awesome! Would love to see a video like this about Russel Allen from Symphony X, James Labrie from Dream Theater or Edu Falashchi from Angra.
It's cool, this is the format I'm very into... I would even add something 'cause I like Kennedy's voice, is that he does this kind of "cowboy" nasal resonance that makes it a little easier to sing, to me at least. Cheers bro I'm looking forward to your next video
Hi Chris, thank you so much for all these videos! I've been wanting for so long to get into singing and I didn't find anyone who'd want to discuss the likes of Dave, Cornell and Myles. I go through your videos at least once everyday and they've helped me find my voice in just a month. Looking forward to a lot more videos, lot more lessons and discussing vocalists and their techniques. Thank you so much!
I was thinking which format is better. First: I like both very much! Both were really helping me figure out certain things. But the one now, breaking down certain lines of cool material is very appealing and i did not discover on you youtube so far. For that I am very grateful. You are doing a great job here. Keep going! Thanks a lot for your knowledge and passion to share! Cheers
Hey Chris! Your channel came up a few weeks ago and I can't watch anything else lol. I have just bought your course and I'm looking forward to it! I really like these "sing like" stuff. One guy I really love singing is Richie Kotzen. It would be awesome to understand what he does with his voice and stuff. Keep up with the great content man! Cheers from Brazil!
Hey man! Great video. I've been practising his techniques since quite a long time and it's just great to see someone explain them so clearly. Just a suggestion, try covering the 'rasp' that he gets in his singing. Cheers!
I don't think I've seen your other "sing like x" videos yet, but I really enjoyed this one and got a lot out of it. Thank you so much for actually teaching and not just wasting my time like other RU-vid vocal "teachers."
Awesome to find you Sir! I have a lot of work to do on my vocals and I'm looking forward to seeing how I can improve. I think your break down and instruction methodology in this vid is excellent. Gonna check out more very soon! \m/
I find it's wild that people gotta break this down to learn this stuff, my brain just does it automatically. It's probably why when people ask me how I do certain vocals I can't explain it to them. Everyone's good at something I guess lol. But at least now I know some terminology about some of the things I do vocally.
Thanks again, your way of explaining fits perfectly where I'm at with my singing now and it helps me connect the dots. For example : I thought I was doing support right (and it was only partially true) but now I can see that it's not the case and what I can do to correct it and it wouldn't have been possible without your vids, including this one (which is perfect for working on mix voice and support on high notes).
I love your videos. They're very informative (although I'm not even close to being there yet). Can you please do a video on Maynard James Kenon(not sure if I spelled it right), the singer of Tool, A Perfect Circle, and Puscifer? He has a really beautiful and soft singing voice, but at the same time can have a really strong, powerful, and agressive voice where it needs to be. He makes it seem so effortlessly. Wide range both musically and dynamically. Plllleeeaaaasssseeeee do a video dissecting his technique. His voice and writing style has been such a huge inspiration to me and I'm sure many others would agree.
Hey Chris I've been playing with You'll Never Walk Alone it's a pretty simple song but there was something that I was missing and nearest to the story it showed me what I was missing instead of reaching to do like you were staying in the tutorial some good starters for screaming tricc R can you can you can pick the pick 2 songs get out John Cougar Mellencamp a he was like one of the first Screamers LOL
Amazing videos, my favourite channel on RU-vid and by far the best vocal coach online thanks Chris. You should have a look at doing a how to sing like Michael Starr (Ralph Saenz) very unique voice that can do just about everything
I‘m extremely inspired by Myles when it comes to my style of singing. Really liked your analysis. You sound similar to Chris Daughtry (who’s amazing as well) imo. :D subscribed!
