The #1 Singing Cheat Code - With Celebrity Vocal Coach Stevie Mackey 

The Mickey Mouse mimic was wild🤣🤣 too good

You cannot be a singer if you can't copy sounds! He is 100% correct! This dude is singing one of the highest notes Celine Dion did as I type this... holy shit!

I have huge respect for this guy. He is such talented vocalist and artist and I love that the way he imparts knowledge from his personal experience is so down-to-earth and relatable.

As a natural born Beyhiver. I grew up mimicking Beyoncé’s runs and harmonies and belts. So much so I’ve gotten to the point where I feel like I have use my voice almost like an instrument like she does. I really want to build on that and go to vocal class

OMW!! You are the first vocal coach that makes sense. Mimicking sound. It's exactly how I started singing. Thank you for sharing.

Holy. I was skeptical at first but damn this dude has a tremendous gift. O.O

Mimicry was the first thing I discovered on my own when I started my singing journey. It's true that I learned to understand my voice the fastest that way. What he doesn't really say is that by copying someone who is good at singing, it teaches you control of your voice and shows you new ways to move your voice and trains your ear to actually listen.

I really love this philosophy around singing

That second Celine high note was crazy. Gave me chills. 😲🔥

watching this I realised how patient singers are. You can't annoy them with sounds 🤣

I can vouch for this, mimicking vocals in singing/rapping styles from Americans was how I started as a British kid. However, it can give you a distorted mindset if you're not self-aware. It took me until my late 20's to realise that my vocal range is deeper than the standard range I use it in. Despite being able to falsetto Jackson 5's "Who's Lovin' You", I found out that I'm a Baritone and not a Tenor.

How is this guy not famous himself!?

Thank you for this. I am a polyglot (someone that speaks multiple languages). The mockingbird is the ultimate copycat, and part of its latin name is poliglotis. I have been able to copy and mimic sounds, including the sounds of other singers. It always felt like i was not finding "my voice." Now, i can let go of decades of feeling less of a singer.

this RU-vid channel is a huge blessing

Stevie is so spot on. It’s from mimicking that you’re able to master sounds & techniques but more importantly discover your own voice. Stevie gets to the point & gives you insight that most vocal coaches don’t share. Yep, I’m a fan & have taken both of his classes!🙌🏽♥️🎶👍🏽

Wow. Those impressions were so on point! Subbed just for that

“selena gomezs vocal coach” doesn’t really capture how good he is… more so the opposite. maybe amber riley would be a better name

I have so much from this video than all my years in a choir. This explains so much about my journey thus far in music and I’m excited to start mimicking.

As a vocal coach, HE IS 100% SPOT ON! This is the gospel, literally! Love Stevie Mackey! Much love and mad respect!!! I did all the same annoying stuff too as a kid, LOL!!!

This is the best channel about music on the whole RU-vid

To me, the key to find your style is mimic...I tell this to all of my singing students...in combination with speech therapy knowledge....singing teachers are like good stylists...it is just style advice, what suits your voice best ( in aa healthy way) together with the student's interest...every singer and style is like learning a new language in placement, phrasing etc

Never put words to it like this, but this is great. Mimicking is how I learned, too. It's essentially the intuitive study of a voice

Great tips, and awesome singer!!

wow, this is .... special. Pure understanding of how singing works. Good that we have so much "legends" to mimic from.

Love and respect to STEVIE MACKEY, These are some incredible valuable lessons. It's gonna change my life.♥️🤟

This is gold. And three minutes in, Stevie's facial expressions and way of speaking reminded me of MJ. Glad to see how he used him as an example.

Def should be a video on clarity control. The things youre doing is mimicking but when people want to do it at home home theres a ton of issues that they can run into that is not present in this video

Wow, this video makes so much sense to me and makes me realize why singing came naturally to me since I was young. I practiced using different voices and later being taught to recite Arabic I'm sure helped a lot too. I found that I always made the biggest breakthroughs in singing better when I tried to mimic an artist like Michael Jackson, Billie Joe Armstrong, keshi or GIVEON down to the syllables and doing that made me have those tools naturally when I'm singing other songs. I always felt like I wanted vocal lessons but I didn't know what exactly to work on. I'd just search on RU-vid for exercises and stuff and hope that it would somehow make me better. This video was very validating for me and I think it makes me want to dedicate "mimicking" into my vocal practice, always seemed like a natural and fun thing to do anyway.

Love you, Stevie!!! Honestly, amazing video! I mean the improvement you made with the female student was incredible.

I’m not only learning valuable information, but I’m also being entertained! Such a great talent 👏🏼👏🏼

I learned so much from mimicking. I am lucky to have power and range, but control, riffs, runs and holding a note++ I learned from copying, and it's like a fun game. I feel validated, because I never heard anybody say this before, but of course we learn lots of techniques from this. And singing with someone who's as good or better makes me better in the moment, like pure magic. It's inspirational.

absolutely fabulous vocal coach! what a gem!!!

This Man is such an Amazing teacher🙌🏽

This was wildly insightful

YOOOOOOO Stevie mimicing is crazy!

This amazing. Getting the insight, and some very good pointers. Thank you Stevie, and Studio! I wonder what the rates are for Stevie Mackey, would be such a superb teacher to ones in a while get a session with

Mimicking my favorite artists is such an invaluable tool to figure out what your voice can really do. Hayley Williams is a big one for me, helped me transform my belt

Wow !! This is Genius !! What a brilliant approach. !! i'm in ...Thanks for your inspiration Stevie !! ... Best Wishes RodGold :). Every Success to You Sir,,,

For my whole life up to this point I have always had the desire to learn to sing, I was very little when I would sing at the top of my lungs, my mom told me I was about 6 or 7 years old. I sang at my wedding in 1977. I took voice lessons for a little while from 2 different teachers. But, I got discouraged. I don’t think they were really good teachers. But, I am hoping one day, I will get to learn to sing 🎶 😮 this has been a very awesome video! I thank you. 😊

Your brilliant!

Great knowledge existing free on the internet. Thank you for sharing🙏🏾❤️

Your very insightful and smart! 😊

I love you Mr Mackey.

Legend.

I used to hum along to the vacuum cleaner and match the tone This video reminds me of something fundamental I’m trying to access so I can sing like I always dreamed Except I for song and haven’t sung for a single soul

Watching this video makes me very humble to learn more about singing.. Thank you 🙏🏾 so very much

Mimicry is something I love doing but I feel judged by a lot of people. That's probably my OCD and autism, well, mostly OCD. This video gave me permission to do that part of me and embrace it. Thank you!

This was great. Far better than I was expecting

yeah he too nice with it!! his falsetto sounds great too!!

Oh crap mimicking the bells and everything just reminded me that I'm doing this shit all the time. The bip when the microwave is stopping, the coffee machine, everything really lmao !

This was amazing. Thank you.

you are a collection of everything you heard so true

this was so good 👌❤

Very well done. Makes me want to take singing lessons…🎶

This is what I always do, as a kid copying my favourite characters, try to sing like the singer, for example barbie, when I was 14 I suddenly discovered that I can sing an opera singer😂😂 and I still keep going mimicking sounds around me to annoy anyone 🤣🤣, hearing any song and try to sing like them. My parents used to scold me because I'm "noisy" they said that the neighbours said that I'm crazy😂. This video is 21 minutes, i smiled, gigled and laugh nonstop😂😂.Thank you sir, I will keep doing this, I want to apply and audition soon, you make me feel whole again thank you so much.

I love your voices!😊

STEVIE IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!

this guy is giving some effective advices

I lost it at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="483">8:03</a> this man is incredible!

Very nice lesson. I lost some vocal ability due to sickness and I'm slowly regaining it. This strategy will surely help to exercise my voice in ways I never knew how.

Não esperava aprender tanto em um vídeo

Awesome vocal coach and vocalist.

This beautiful

AMAZINGGGGG

Man he's 100%

The Cher was spot on ❤👏

So Fun 🎊

Great video!

If I could mimic any singer, I’d love to sound close to Tevin Campbell. He’s definitely one of my favorite male vocalist

This was spot on for what I've been doing as a small child. Super appreciated! Thank you Jesus Christ

I just started my interest in singing i love these videos

This man looks like the male Queen Latifah. He is STUNNING.

That was actually insightful 😉

That’s the Suzuki methodology. Nice perspective.

This man is amazing 🔥🔥🔥

my heart

He is so inspiring!! I love him!! ✨️

You did exactly what I did as a kid 😂 My sister and I always mimicked sounds we heard, and practiced them all the time! Fun fact, my best voice for a long time was (it’s been a while 😂) was Cartman 😆 But my best voice mimic is, hands-down Sméagol 😁 It makes perfect sense what he’s saying! Think about it, all of the voice actors out there, are really incredible singers!

At the end he’s trying to teach soul she’s used to trying to hit the correct note n enunciate. That grit n off note is the feel / soul . It’s what gives the emotion to the lyrics

Yes jungkook from bts is amazing at mimicking everyone and everything literally like cartoons, sounds in the environment etc etc and he is an absolutely amazing singer!! Its helped him be able to sing in english and reproduce very spot on pronunciation . He even talks about the mimicking in various interviews and lives hes done. He has refined his listening skills in a very similar style to you💜💜💜💜

I am not a singer, but I sing to feel, the resonance, I like the feeling.

What an amazing video

I do this a lot. When I was growing up I learned how to do cartoon voices and wanted to learn to sing like Depeche Mode. I don't know what my "real" voice sounds like though. I'm just a collection of other singer sounds.

Pretty sure you have developed perfect pitch as well. You are a very talented dude. Your ability to hit the right notes intentionally helps a bit... :) Excellent video, you exude confidence like a flower distributing its pollen in the wind. :)

WOWW 🚀

thx u ❤

I always wondered how Chris Martin from Coldplay with his unique voice has managed to also develop so much control and modulate so well these days, including hitting high notes consistently concert after concert. Sounding just like he is in the studio these days. Could be thanks to this vocal coach!
