How to Start to Sing Like Corey Taylor (False Cord, Fry, Screams & Melody) NOT for Beginners! 

1. build bulletproof 18 inch neck. 2. Scream and sing

This is important: Corey especially during the Iowa recording never paid attention to techniques, he was literally just screaming with distortion until his vocal chords broke. This is actually why it sounds so good, the human brain subconsciously picks up the difference between fake screams and real screams and no matter how much you train you just won't reach the same intensity as a real scream. Be careful, obviously.

How to sing like Corey Taylor: "And whatever else you do, don't let it hurt" *Iowa, standing in the corner*: or do

This guy puts more thought and technique into Corey’s voice than Corey does!

When you did the "see the devil in I" you sounded like Steve Carrell in The Office

Great video as always and Dude when you just fly off the handle and start making crazy noises I laugh my ass off every time

Knowing that corey is lucky to even be able to talk today gives me hope as a vocalist going through severe chronic laryngitis that I'll be able to sing again.

I've been waiting for a vocal coach to finally analyse and actually SHOW how to do Corey Taylor. I feel like a lot of vocal coaches are hesitant to do it because he's not really using "proper" technique all the time. Thanks a lot for this man. You can do M shadows from avenged sevenfold too.

I'm doing this in hard mode: *voicecrack teenage boy*

Im trying to do the “UUUUUUUUU YEAAHH!” From psychosocial

"NOT for beginners" Holy shit lmao

this channel has taught me much more that I could have learnt in 15 years as a musician

Free voice lessons... Careful, he's a legend.

I would like to see something on the singer from system of a down, that would be sick!

False Chord's position is exactly the same as trying to imitate a dog barking, if that helps.

Corey is definetly my favorite metal vocalist.

Wow this is TOP tier content. As much videos I have seen to understand Fry-Screaming I never understand it. With this video it is SO CLEAR. Thank you! Subscribed

HOLY SHIT BRO I can’t believe you actually responded to my comment with a video. Many months ago I trolled you for his video lmao thanks bud. You’re helping me hone the marauding demon in me

From the first time I ever heard Slipknot I love Corey's scream cause it sounds so authentic, it just sounds like a big dangerous dude who's really pissed off

I love how this channel is so honest. Like ofc u can't really learn to sound like someone else because everyone is different and people have their own feel for it and way of going about it but ofc techniques can be learnt but it'll never fully be THE same so thank u for just pointing that out Chris

This guy and a few others have helped me find my voice, great and educational content.

Keep in mind, the biggest part of All of this is his years of practice and experience. Its natural to him. Thanks a ton man. I love watching you. A huge help.

Dude, you are the best vocal teacher around on youtube, I can't believe how much I am learning thanks to you... Thank you so much for taking your time to teach us!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="734">12:14</a> : Actual sound of me going through puberty anyway great video, very informative

It's always a pleasure to see you doing these kinds of videos! You are a lost gem in the RU-vid vocal coaching scene, man. Keep up the good work!

Man I love your videos....not only educational, but entertaining. Always leave having learnt something and having had a good laugh.

Ok dude I'd love an analysis of Spencer Sotelo from Periphery. He's an amazing singer both live and in the studio.

I've been searching for a video like this for months!! So glad you made it. Very helpful!!

God, Corey has such a good voice! Good Lord. When you listen to Corey speak in interviews it sounds like his voice is almost predisposed to be able to produce all of the distortion he is able to add to his vocals. To me, it sounds like he would have to be as concious of removing the distortion, as I would have to be to add it. If you have alot of rasp when talking naturally, does that make it easier to sing with distortion? It seems like it would, just using common sense.

What about Devin Townsend? I'd love to see someone explaining what he's doing in depth like this.

You're probably THE most educated person to ever discuss harsh vocals. Can you talk about Chad from Mudvayne, or Bjorn from Soilwork? I feel like those dudes are real great samples of toned fry screams which is something i'd love to hear you talk about.

Dude you are such an amazing teacher! actually the best teacher for distortion and grit i've found. The comment about letting your voice break and crack is absolute money and has helped me personally sooo much!

I've been watching hundreds of videos, been following dozens of different channels and your content is BY FAR the most focused and concrete out there. There is a good mix of theory, demonstrations and especially honesty. What you said about the impossibility to emulate other singers hit me like a truck and it's one of the most helpful piece of advice I've read while trying to improve as a singer.

I love that you're able to laugh at yourself a little when you crack! It's like a fart! It's always funny!

YEEEEEE!!! I love Corey's vocal. Thanks for this lesson

Excited to get into this video. You're a champ Chris 😍

Thank you so much for this!!! I have been searching everywhere for this video, but now it finally exists!!! Thank you!!! It was really helpful!😭🖤

Was really excited to see this pop up just now. Learned not to do Corey's stuff the hard way, it's really fun but you're completely right about the screwing up your voice part

Very cool to watch this. Corey is one of the vocalists that got me to want to do what he does. Left Behind is a great one to sing along to. 😊

Man those examples with the cracking point of the voice were gold , I can now understand where I need to be in order to put more character in my screams. Chris your help is totally enlightening , my vocal coach fell in love with your videos too when I showed her the tension free advice you gave with the dumbbells parallel. Thank you wholeheartedly for what you're doing!

Wow this is exactly what ive been looking for! So glad i subscribed, otherwise i would have missed this!

In left behind Corey actually was just yelling, not really using any technique, he’s lucky he can even sing and scream today with how bad his method was

This is awesome! Absolutely love Corey Taylor, and you ended with one of my favorite stanzas from one of my favorite songs.

Hell yeah! Hope my suggestion convinced you, thanks so much for this video.

Your content is the best I've seen. You're def the singing master 🤘🏼

So much priceless knowledge!! Been watching your channel for a while now. Some of the ways you get your grit really remind of Chester Bennington. Thank you so much for doing what you do! Looking forward to much more content to come.

In somewhat the same vein as Corey Taylor, I'd love to see if you could show us the techniques Mike Patton uses. That dude is insane and still sings just as aggressive today in his 50s. Those banshee whistle screams are crazy and no one seems to have any real knowledge on it. Would love to hear your input!

Dude love these videos! I always learn something new in them.

Finally someone does this! THANK YOU!

not a vocalist, but love watching your videos. entertaining and awesome singing! you should do more full out covers (would love to see a full on Slipknot cover!)

This channel is the only reason I can speak after shows.

Again, such an amazing demonstration and example provided into how people use their voices. Impersonation done me in for a few years because I realised I was trying to copy/impersonate very overly produced sounds that use compression, or reverb effects for example. I started going back to more raw recordings, like Chris Cornells live version of songs, and that gave me a more 'realistic' sound. Alongside Chris' amazing RU-vid videos on how to use your voice correctly, I've really been able to use my own sound to get where I am today. Thanks Chris for your time and effort in creating these thoughtful videos, really ❤️

So much clicked for me with this video, like things I have been working on for a while! Thank you so much!

You’re so awesome man, I’ve been wanting to learn how Corey does it for many years now! Also I love when you are able to laugh at yourself with that scooby doo false chord break haha. A great vocalist has no embarrassment hehe.

Would like to see a lesson about chino Moreno voice 🙏and more about Chirs Cornell

Your lessons have been really helping me ❤️

These are next level trainings! Really appreciate you bro.

Step 1: have a 47" circumference neck

I love this series (along with the rest of your channel). What you're doing has helped me learn so much about this instrument that I am. I would love to see another one of these on: Trent Reznor (NIN) Mike Patton (Faith No More, Bungle) Marcus Bridge (Northlane) Josh Homme (QOTSA) Greg Puciato (The Dillinger Escape Plan, The Black Queen)

Awesome vid as always Chris! I hope you do a vid on vocal tension reduction and relaxation, that would be awesome!

Thank you so much!!!!! Exactly what I've been looking for!

This is really what I've been looking for. A lot of "how to" metal/extreme vocals tutorials don't actually explain how to practice it. It would be awesome to get something like this on Devin Townsend's ability to effortlessly shift between clean and dirty, sometimes transitioning mid-chord into the dirty or clean vocal.

"Embrace that crack." -Chris Liepe 2019 Lol. Big fan of you work, man. I'm def learning more as I watch your contents.

Just found this. Thank you for acknowledging Corey Taylor. His voice is fascinating, my favorite. Loved watching you and your expertise. Rock on...

I'm not exactly a complete beginner or an intermediate vocalist, but I messed around with my voice a good bit trying to figure out Corey Taylor's screaming technique last night and this afternoon, and now after reviewing and practicing the techniques in this video, I can say that I have a good grasp on how to do it without hurting my voice. I feel like I could do this for an hour and it still would feel and sound phenomenal! Big ups to you, Mr. Liepe, you're a legend.

What an amazing in-depth analysis, Chris! I've been more of a "silent watcher" of your channel, just watching, liking and learning for myself but so far you have covered some of my MOST favourite singers with such an amount of detail... that I just have to thank you! My singing abilities have sky-rocketed through your videos! Corey Taylor, Jared Leto, Chester B., ... great stuff. Some other singers you might be interested in (and which I admire deeply): - Daniel Tompkins of "Tesseract" check out their songs "Hexes", "Phoenix"(some super delicious falsetto!), or "Smile" from their recent release (also amazingly high notes). Daniel is one of the most gifted singers in the modern Prog-Scene to me. - Benjamin Burnley of "Breaking Benjamin", love the way he darkens his voice, too. - Pete Loeffler of "Chevelle", (cool songs are: "The Clincher", "Well enough alone" or also "Sleep Apnea" In fact, I believe that you and Pete sound very much alike, technique and register-wise, and he perfectly displays the things you teach. His high-pitched screams, bright and slightly nasaly singing (in a good way! :) ) to get powerful and wide-open high notes, for example, are some things I now recognize after watching your videos. Have a good one. - Benjamin

The best thing is it looks like he's having fun doing this... I think it's something that many tend to forget: music is fun

Love ur videos man, and loved to see one of my fav singers of ali time

Great video sir! Thanks!!!

Hey Chris, I love to see these types of videos. Looks like you have tons of suggestions in the comments already but I would love to see a video of some of my favorite vocalists: Ann Wilson, Adam Gontier, or Danny Worsnop. Keep up the great content!

“Embrace the crack” - Chris Liepe 2019 Lol jk dude I absolutely love your videos man they’ve helped me out so much. You explain yourself in such a way that makes it easy to understand, and almost intuitive. Keep it up man don’t ever change 🤘🏼

Dude!! This is awesome keep it going

Thank you for this vid. It was a great peek into one of the real ones out there. 👌

Hey dude I friggen love your stuff here. You are very good at articulating what it is that's happening. Slipknot and Corey Taylor specifically are how I learned to scream some other influences being Chimaira and Children of bodom. But youv helped highlight differences especially screaming with pitch. I'm pretty happy with my scream technique though I know I go harder than I should on my pitch less scream but it's a comfort zone now for me. NOW. I would very much appreciate you highlighting Corey Taylor singing "From can to Cant" You are an incredible vocalist and teacher. Thanks Love you!!

Amazing work breaking down how to sing like Corey Taylor in a healthy way. And for anyone else who's reading this, remember. Even Taylor had a very hard time developing his voice! He had a lot of trail and error, and even though I can't find the specific interview he said that he had months after a concert, tour and recordings where he couldn't even speak afterwards. Even the semi clean song "Through glass" from Stone Sour's - Come what(ever) may album, he said that the sound he was going for in that album ruined his voice so bad that the idea of going on a release tour was very slim. Which is why hearing it live now is a much different experience, and even Taylor loved the recorded sound, he wouldn't even try risking his voice to do that. Which is why people should be careful not to imitate others and do it in a unhurtful and healthy way. And even with the amazing details and work of Chris Liepe should be added together with a good vocal coach who can supplement the training and correct you if you're subconsciously doing something that might hurt your voice further down the road. And a paraphrase from Oren L. Brown "You can learn a way of singing that can ruin your voice in minutes, and then have to spend years to fix the damage, so it's best to learn how to sing in a healthy way to begin with"

I am SO excited about this video! I watched the whole thing, and determined that perhaps I am not really ready to sing with Corey Taylor just yet, but I get much closer all the time in part thanks to you! Another fantastic vocalist who seems to just be able to switch from distorted vocals back to clean at will live is Shawn Morgan from Seether. Particularly in his live acoustic performance of "Take Me Away." Something I've always struggled with is creating distortion in my lower range, or in my chest voice as apposed to my mix. Great video!

Man you are one of the best teachers online

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1083">18:03</a> sound like cj to me but in a higher tone

Ive been looking forward to this

Cant believe i haven't discovered this channel sooner. Subbed immediately thanks for all the great content!

I think it’d be cool to see a breakdown on Marcus Bridge, the vocalist of Northlane! Thanks for the uploads, Chris Cheers

I would like to see more false chord tutorial, I think it's gonna be a great knowledge

Very, very useful, thank you!

This is one godsent piece of advice, appreciate it! It took me sooo many years of wrecking my throat to realize that its not about how much pressure and energy you can apply, but about how to put on just enough pressure to stabilize the vibration. I like to compare false cord usage to biceps curls. Instead of hulking the weight up with a bad shape, have a controlled motion, one of steady force. There's this one weak spot on the curl, right after 1/3 of the lifting motion, which you shouldnt rush over, but work through since thats where the gain is at. Thanks for sharing Chris =)

This video popped up on my feed and then I binge watched the back catalog of this channel (at work... don't tell my boss). The youtube algorithm is evil, but sometimes works wonders. Oh, and if I can suggest a singer to analyze, it would be Spencer Sotelo from Periphery. I'm currently obsessed about the band and specially him.

Brother, you have been a godsend, from the way you teach and inform, to how you give multiple and progressive examples, all the way to being immediately motivated to applying and sharing your techniques and breakdowns. Thank you, Maestro Leipe, thank you! And uh, Chad Grey from Mudvayne (Lost and Found album, specifically the songs Forget To Remember and Choices) if you feel up to the challenge! Lol

This helped me a ton! I'm making noises I never could before. Not yet perfect but this really helps!

Awesome job! Love the format of these sing like videos! I really get a lot out of them! I’d like to see you do one for Chino Moreno and Richard Patrick please! 😁🙏🤘

Hey thank you for the amazing content! I would really like to see a video of Adam Gontier, you are great at explaining the techniques used by great singers ;)

Can you please do the same thing for James hetfield from Metallica?? He had an awesome voice during the late 80s

Big hello from Moscow Chris 😉 I learned clean vocal for 2 years and now I started to learn extreme techniques with my teacher. I very love Corey’s songs and of course to sing it because I’m baritone too) And the little tricks that you’re talking about helps me to understand better how to do it without hurting myself. I don’t know why on some videos there are not a lot of views but thanks youtube for recommending your channel. In next videos I would like to see analysis of Scooter Ward from “Cold” and maybe an analysis of individual songs of Slipknot and Stone Sour or another great rock and metal bands. You doing a great interesting videos and I watch it with wide eyes open) Sorry for my English) With respect and best wishes, Alex.

Man this helped out a lot. Trust me guys. This guy knows these screaming and also singing. Now I know a lot now

Dude! On Sunday I have an audition and I'm gonna sing song #3. You are fucking amazing! Love you!

Awesome video, I like the way you focus on learning from singers without imitating them which is much better. I enjoy evey video you make and learn at the same time. :) Btw, could make a How to start to sing like Till Lindemann? He's one of my favorite singers and like the way he does it.

It's so much fun to see someone analyze an other's vocal range and techniques, especially someone like Corey. This channel is awesome and I personally think it should be up top, because you nail most of them to be so close to be them. My bows to you sir, and since you asked, I've been wondering.. I know you probably don't speak german, or who knows.. but Till Lindemann's voice from Rammstein sounds sometimes so brutal, and I'd love to see you analyze him especially in the song "Puppe". Thank you for these!

corey taylor is one of my big vocal inspirations. i'll come back to this video again once i've built up my fundamental skills enough to not hurt myself lol
