The Style of Spencer Sotelo. Periphery (Singing & Screaming, Range, Mixed Voice) Live & In Studio 

The problem with Periphery is that after you've listened to it, nothing else will ever sound quite as good :D

I knew it was only a matter of time before you took a dive into Spencer’s singing

He is such a good singer. There is few singers on his level in metal. He didnt even start singing with taking singing lessons. He is if im not mistaken almost 100% self taught.

As always, great video! ‘Would love to see one on Dan Tompkins of TesseracT

You have NO clue how long I've been waiting for this video

And then there's Marigold where he does all the different things described in this video in just the first line

Spencer's voice is seriously powerful!

This is the best vocal tutorial I've ever watched!

"Luke, become one with the voice." - LIEPE, Chris.

The amazing thing about Spencer is that's he's gotten so much better live throughout the years. I saw them late last year, and my god he did so many ad libs and high improvised screams and he was rarely off key, absolutely stunning vocalist.

My favorite part of this besides it being about Spencer is all the comments that are so supportive of Spencer, lol

This is great. I've been waiting for this one - Joe

This Video and performance from Spencer underlined everything you have tought (me) with your videos. Its a great feel to the such talented professionals sounding that (dont misunderstand this please) "bad" live. Its not that thing anymore where such singers seem way beyond anything I could ever reach with my vocal capabilities. You really "saved" my voice with your recommendation "listen to the live and raw stuff and dont try to mimic their studio recordings" on the topic Chris Cornell and your streak continues with this "how to scream / use distortion" series. Thank you very very much for your Content.

Please take a look at Rody Walker of Protest the hero. Sequoia throne is a good song to start with 😁🤙🏼

Your videos are always so great. I think studying Devin Townsend, all the things he can do - and how - would be very interesting !!! thanks a lot !

I searched this up and am in shock I actually found a video on this. Not only that, but a really fucking good one. Bless you man.

dude thank you so much for introducing spencer and periphery you have opened my eyes to a whole new world. you and spencer are a massive inspiration to me. thanks man.

AYYY A SPENCER VID HELL YES

the transition scream in blood eagle is so fucking amazing....this distorted full chest into voice crack kinda thing!!!

You are the best. I love the way you teach. It's completely different from anyone else.

the speaking with articulations of attitude and velocity and then singing it is by far the most useful to me.

Badass dude, really good breakdown. Spencer is a beast. There's so much to look at from him and you did a really good job with it. Been waiting for this video for a little while, it was definitely worth the wait.

"His face is out of the way." That's a REALLY good way of putting it.

Thrilled you're taking a stab at this guy's style!

YEEESSSSS!!!! I’m so glad you finally made this one, and I love that it’s a bit longer and more in depth. Spencer is by far my favorite vocalist, and your videos are the only “vocal lesson” type videos that have ever helped me progress, so i was really looking forward to seeing how you would analyze and replicate his techniques.

I love how much fun you have doing those complex techniques, not getting lost in complicated explanations and terminology but instead doing funny and clear examples. Also showing what separates just good singers from professionals, for example such as mastering that stupid talk pattern to embelish your aggressive singing. You are fantastic teacher and your videos are very helpful!

There is something that happens at THE VERY CORE OF US!!! xD Impressive performance! There are not many vocalists on youtube who can really explain what Spencer does. Thank you.

I like the approach this video takes. Right off rip saying "we're never going to match him" is bluntly honest and totally made me trust every thing you had to say following it. I see the Sam Carter video in the suggested videos for after this one. I like your style. Subscribed!

You make some of my favourite singing videos on youtube AND you explain some of my favourite singers like Devin, Sponce, Hetfield... Thank you so much. Love you!

This is gold already!!!

Spencer is incredible. With Periphery and with his solo stuff.

I really love this channel so much. The way he dives deep into the singer's ideas and approaches while suggesting ways to implement that into our own singing is fabulous, it's very educational. And he doesn't promise the impossible and straight-up admits to that. I've learnt so much from Chris. Also, Spencer is a beast!

Finally Spencer, i was waiting for this for a long time! Excellent format btw. Greetings from Argentina!

I've said it, I'll say it again. This is exactly what I was looking for. It confirms a lot of what I learned and allows me to go forward with confidence.

OMG! THIS IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR! YOU ARE AMAZING!!

I’m a new subscriber, my favorite vocalist of all time is Elvis Presley. I think of all of the singers I’ve heard, he conveys emotions (of all kinds) the most effectively. He has such a unique and singular timbre. I would love for you to one day do a video analyzing the many styles and techniques of Elvis’ voice, thanks Chris!

I've been waiting for this video for so long!! Thanks Chris!

I’m not really a fan of this type of music or this kind of vocal style, but I totally learned something from you by watching this! Thanks Chris!

I absolutely loved this analysis of one of my favorite singers.. i didnt want it to end! It was well worth the wait. i love the fact tgat you picked some examples from different albums from some of the deep cuts. Thank you for doing this!!

I’ve been looking for an analysis on Spencer and Tilian Pearson, and now I’ve found it. And you have earned my subscription. Both artists in one channel. I’d date you and I’m not even gay.

Oh yeah! Long waited video, amazing content, great research!

I've never clicked on a video this fast! Thank you for taking on Spencer! He's been challenging my drives to and from work for years now. The amount of styles and ranges he sings in is incredible.

You are amazing teacher and singer!

I've been waiting for this video for sooo long! You're the man!

Periphery is definitely a godsend band. I've been a metalhead for 12 years. I've been listening to Periphery since 2010. I bought every single physical album from Periphery except Periphery 4. I bought Periphery 4 digitally when it came out. Periphery is an amazing band and Spencer is one of my favorite vocalist is Progressive metal. I listen to mostly Technical death metal, dsbm, extreme metal and Progressive metal. Can you please check out Archspire- Human Mumuration please make a video on Archspire

Thank you so much Chris!! Periphery is one of my favourite bands and I really appreciate your work for us.

In love with Chris's screams 💙 Man if learn how to sing like that i'll be the happiest man in the world the only thing i know is to kinda use my vocal break with the false chord an since i blew up my voice in 2017/18, after that my voice were never the same i'm really insecure about my voice that's why i didn't joined Chris course

He's impeccable. Very versatile and technical singer.

Amazing video dude! Love your screams!

Ive been waiting for this forever! Thank you!

Thank you so much for making this and listening to your fans! This was such a great in depth look. Loved it Chris!

Golden content!! I practice with this video each week. Finally decided to post a credible comment.

Periphery sounds like everything. Nothing sounds like Periphery

Clicked like before I clicked on the vid, Spencer is the bomb and Chris is the fuse... er something

Thanks for that video. I requested it earlier and i´m so happy that you now fulfilled my wish!

hell yeah finally a spencer sotelo video!!!!!!!

You are a legend Chris! Thank you so much for the immaculate breakdowns in technique and tendencies. Especially with the invaluable insight on his studio technique. Also loved the video on Chino from Deftones. If you could squeeze in a request to cover one of the best vocalists of modern rock. Please do a video on Conor Mason from Nothing But Thieves!

Just wow but at this point that’s a given really 👌🏻 wish you’d been around when I was younger as I feel I’ve spent to many years strangling my vocal chords (nearly 45 👴🏻) but I do love watching your immensely educational videos.

Thank you so much for making this video. I enjoy the format of it

dude, what the fuck ... this is exactly the video I have been searching for for years!! Can't wait to get into it

Ahhh Chris, I knew this one was coming! Thank you going into detail on this one, I'm not even a singer but I find it all so fascinating and Spencer is an incredible singer! Thanks again

There are so many amazing singers in rock and metal. But man, I never heard anything quite like Spencer. So glad you made this video, I've been waiting for a great vocalist like yourself to analyze his work.

20:45 big takeaway right there : "if you're not able to make it ridiculous, you won't be able to dial it back and make it cool"

Spencer is not human. His high screams are impossible to replicate for someone like me. I only tried the song "Garden in the bones" and I gave up pretty quick because it's too damn hard

Que chabon mas zarpado! Gracias loco por este laburo!!!

I'm starting to have a better understanding of my voice and what it can do thanks to your videos thank you so much! Next it would be interesting to see you analyse Tillian Pearson in Dance Gavin and his other projects.

excellent video as always!!!! should be great video about DEVIN TOWNSEND too!!

Please oh please teach us the way of Ryan Kirby. We have been waiting forever.

Have you checked out Andy Cizek?? He used to do alot of RU-vid vocal covers and is now the vocalist of Monuments, the band is very close with the guys from Periphery, and omg... Andy's vocals are amazing... Just listen to Monuments - Animus... I can hit the notes he sings in the chorus but no way can I do it with such ease and sound as clean and smooth at belting/singing that high. It's super crazy. He's just as good live, you can watch some of his live singing of the song too and he nails it

Amazing job, Chris! I'd be super interested in seeing a video on Devin Townsend's techniques.

He’s the only guy who can keep up with Sonny. I was impressed with those re-recordings on Dead Trees. Next video suggestion: Roy Khan and/or Tommy Karevik.

He is by far my favorite vocalist in all music. Also an amazing guy after meeting him. His range is so wide l. Especially his top end head voice. I love pushing to try and reach it when I can. Thanks for your work on this breakdown! Going to check out more of your stuff =D Also picked up your going head voice into the highs and that seems to help quite a bit thanks!

Hey Chris! Just discovered your channel today, and wow! Not only do you give great explanations, but you explore the styles of pretty much all my favorite singers. I'd like to recommend doing an exploration in the style of Dan Watson.

DANNY WORSNOP ASKING ALEXANDRIA

I would absolutely love to see you do some periphery covers. Great video!

watched this without reading the title.. 16 seconds in and already clicked like after seeing "Spencer Sotelo" \m/

Never seen these videos, but damn, your screams are bone crushing!

So, like I got into Periphery at the beginning of the year and I absolutely love Spencer's voice. I like to sing, but only as a hobby for when I feel like it, but I definitely do want to get better. I really gotta check out your channel now this is an amazing video breaking down Spencer's technique. Edit: Can you possibly do a video like this with Shayley Dayshell Bourget? His voice is truly something that stands out. He definitely struggles with stage fright, though, so depending on the vid you look at his lives aren't the best. But he goes in depth on his Patreon and Instagram what he likes to do.

What an amazing video Chris! I enjoyed this one a ton

Chris, it is awesome. Thank you for this video)

Yes! Amazing!

Liked before even watching

I would still love to see a video on Jonny Hawkins, even though Nothing More is a more new band and I'm sure you've got a killer backlog. His control and tone is an absolute pleasure to hear.

Karaoke : And he is a bit drunk... imagine him sober XD

Thx this was soo good and helpful, learned a ton from you!

Thank you man. Your videos are gold. Please someday analize something of Mike Patton.. Saludos

I requested this! thank you so so much my dude! legit the best music youtuber, but shhh don't tell Jared Dines i said that! haha

Thank you !!

Im so fucking ready

Very cool you did a video on Spencer. Thanks! Another amazing singer to analyze would be Yannis Papadopoulos.

You earned a sub, brother. \m/

This is absolutely fantastic. I've punched a hole in my waaaaaaaaalll. My neighbours are gonna hate me. Thanks

Hey Chris Nice video. Spencer is a Great vocalist and has a lot of technique. It's so hard to cover his songs. I just missed the breakdown from Ragnarok in your analysis but everything else was on point. Thanks

ayyyy finally spencer!

Jonny Craig please! Love your videos!

I really love this type of vocal analysis videos. I would love to see how you would aproach the vocals of Mike Hranica from the Band "The Devil wears Prada" especialy on their latest Album "The Act". I think he has a really uniqe style of singing and screaming.

I know I asked before but, Tim Mclrath!

19:03 It's kinda hilarious to hear you give instructions with tons of delay behind :)

Could you make a separate video about compression based distortion? I saw your video about compression in general but I don't get how the grit is happening this way.

Congratulation!!
