Vocal Coach Reaction to Dimash 'The Love of Tired Swans' 

Well, I don't know anything about Music production or sound equipment or whatever. What I do know is that Dimash sings this perfectly each time he performs and it certainly is live at the others… I have heard some people mentioning effects in the mic, like reverb? or echoing... but that is just an effect and doesn't change his singing. One of the reasons I love listening to Dimash is that I never worry if he will manage a particular note, or crack his voice or something. In my opinion people doubt he sings live because few others could manage it as perfectly as he does.

I heard this live song at a concert at Dimash in London, unimaginable. After this concert, I still feel like I am in a different world. Greetings from Poland/DKFC

He doesn't believe in altering the voice. He always sings live.

Just compare it with his London performance, almost identical! No doubt this is live 👍

The audio and video don't match completely but it is live - he performed the song a few times in the last weeks, including at his concert in London you could see him singing on the fancams from different angles and the last performace was again in Russia in some kind of pavilion and it must have been very cold as you could literaly see his breath while he is singing.

I heard this live in London - and he sings LIVE phenomenal- there are also fan cams which show you that he sounds the same as you hear here

No, I don't think that Dimash uses adjustments to his voice. You do have to react to his other lives in Bastau, London and Paris. That sounds even better.

Dimash has performed this song several times at different venus. I saw him live in London last month, and am sure there were no post productions at every venue. Thanks for reaction

I'm ready to declare Dimash as the best vocalist ever! He's amazing! 😍😍😍 it's like multiple persons in one body lol! He's very consistent in every performance 💯

The first point to bring to your notice this was a LIVE recording a few days ago from the Kremlin watched LIVE by thousands of people and therefore No Post Production. You answered your own question "it makes me feel as though he's singing LIVE?" and then go on to try and be PC about sync!! As a Vocal coach, you must have heard in your experience changes of different voices in harmony but somehow, you seemed surprised when the voice changed to a different key? Earpiece, please note on ALL Dimash's performances he keeps taking them out it all depends on the event and sound engineers set up. Perhaps this description might help you to understand Dimash's singing capabilities. His voice is Androgynous A voice which is capable of sounding either male or female accurately (often applied to countertenors, sopranists and tenor altini). His transitions of the different voices are incredible which evenly dissipate into the arrangement of the song bringing a 'unique stylised FUSION' of sound to music genres a kind of Neo-Classical, POP OPERA; ROCK OPERA infused with SOUL. His voice has its own unique style with fullness/richness of tone with access to all areas of the range, able to navigate easily between chest, middle and head register and Vocal control throughout the range, no flip-flopping about or straining he is an original and a fantastic singer. . Music, in performance, is a type of sculpture. The air in the performance is sculpted into something by the transitions. SHOW-OFFY as you put it: In a live performance, it's a collaboration with the audience; you ride the ebb and flow of the crowd's energy. In music the passions enjoy themselves. Music is a language that doesn’t speak in particular words. It speaks in emotions, and if it’s in the bones, it’s in the bones. Keep On Keeping On. DKIFC- THE UNITED KINGDOM.

That's how good Dimash is !! Accept it !!

Thank you for your reaction... his voice is truly phenomenal and incredible, it’s sometimes unbelievable. Do listen to this fancam someone took at his recent London concert... raw footage that just makes you appreciate again and again his amazing vocals! [ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-s-wpgryHIjk.html]

Even in his concert he takes his ear pieces out and off. Watch the London concert and you will see, he has a love hate relationship with it. They end up on the floor on a few occasions 😂😂

Dimash very beautiful

There is definitely some kind of echo effect or reverb there. His voice sounds too clear & intimate for a venue as big as that. Taking nothing away from him though, echo effect or not, he sound's amazing. I could listen to him all day.

Димаш лучший. 🙏👏👏👏👏

Dimash super best!!!

Dimash his voice is real and he doesn't use any effects, he's no fake. He's the best

Hello. See live concerts videos. From fan cameras! You'll see the "post production" !! lol "Ogni Pietra " Arnau Concert Fan Camera ... all those veins moving in his throat! Unique!

He has 5 to 6 octave range so has plenty to play with.

Thanks for your reaction. I think you are a lovely lady💗..and i hope those bad comments wont stop you to react to more Dimash performances. Have a Merry Christmas and a peaceful New Year.

Yes. His voice is perfect! And no, it is not auto tuned. Take a deep breath and take everything in. Only Dimash can sing live perfectly.

He is the best and the most talented. He is not just one of the best and most talented

That's how awesome he is ..cz he often gets accused of lip syncing .. but his other performances of this song are not exactly the same .. and he's had to sing this live many times .. and yes .. this performance he sings with clarity and perfection .. really hard to believe such perfection in a vocalist .. but with Dimash.. it's not impossible 😄😃😆

Regardless of everything you said dimash already proven he is the best and can do it all with his voice

They do post production and compress the audio before airing on television. That's pretty standard these days. Of course, he has no control over that. There is a behind the scenes video about Dimash from when he was on Singer and during that video there is a clip of his Opera 2 performance prior to the post production. You can hear the audience and the room sounds much brighter and his voice sounded the same, only louder. I prefer the preproduction versions as well, which is why I love fan cams. There are some excellent ones out there that I think you would like. I'll see if I can find a good link for you! 😄

Димаш- всегда поёт только живьём!

There's almost always a reverb and echo effect on his mic when he sings places like this, but I don't know if it's been touched up after the fact or not. I know there are fancam videos and they all sound the same as this one.

He has a 6 octave range

I think the audio feed is split from the feed going to the PA and to a compressor and FX for recording, still live but treated as studio recording without room ambience etc

Those who listen to him live .. Are blessed 🙏❣️❣️ I'm jealous but I love .. It's divine .. May God Will be happy with me somebody and Grant me this opportunity to listen him live

Great reaction! Thank you so much👍👍👍👍💖💖💕💕💕

You must view his Ogni pietra at arnau. Dimash 48 fancam.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Even if it's pre recorded he already sang it so it's still impressive

Dimash is amazing ❤❤❤❤❤❤

After listened to a few of his live performance, I can't stop imagine he is an ultimate vocal instrument with technical might but with little artistic value. I'm looking for a good singer with unique style, may be not for everyone but it is his or her style. I think Dimash is all over the place and he really have to do some deep soul search to find his style to keep singing to old age.

This song was composed by Igor Krutoy and initially written by Lara Fabian in French with the title Je T'Aime Encore. Then it was translated in Russian for Lara and had this english title Love of Tired Swans. She was thus the original performer of this russian version as well. And then Dimash made his cover.

Dimash-Ave Maria 🔥 new

Gonna post this comment in the main comment section because it needs to be said to dispell some of the myth and misinformation surrounding Dimash. I'm by no means taking anything away from Dimash or his talent but..... I sing in a metal band so I know a bit about singing and production (I'm not a sound engineer or producer). I do think his mic probably has some compression (I suspect he uses multiband compression) on it and maybe a touch of reverb and this recording probably underwent some post production touch ups. But there's nothing wrong with that, it's not cheating, at least not in my opinion. Lots and lots of vocalists use different effects on their voice for a number of reasons. Compression is very very common, it essentially evens out the vocal, amplifying quieter sounds and lowering louder sounds. There are lots of types of compression so it's not quite that simple. Reverb basically gives the vocals (or instrument) more body, making it sound fuller and more present. It's hard to explain but reverb essentially creates space around the sound. Ever tried shouting in a tiled room, that tuby/echoey sound is reverb, "the sound of the room." However, reverb can make your vocals drop back in the mix so compression is commonly used alongside it to bring the vocals back up in the mix. These are all just effects to give your vocals or instrument a slightly different quality. Using distortion or fuzz on a guitar doesn't mean you can't play or that you are cheating, it just creates a different sound. Adding reverb or compression to your vocals isn't cheating, it's just colouring your voice to suit the vibe of the song or to help the vocals stand up to the instrumental or acoustics of the venue. It can't give you a 6 octave vocal range and impeccable vocal technique. If you can't sing then no amount of effects are gonna make you sound like Dimash does. It kinda bothers me when people get defensive of Dimash when people bring up the use of effects. I get that you value him and get kinda defensive/protective, but he is a human and the human voice sometimes needs a helping hand. His voice is incredible! I believe that he sings live most of the time, but I do also believe that he sometimes uses effects on his vocals and that's ok. If you've ever listened to a song without vocal effects (not many exist) you'll notice that it sounds really dry and lifeless against the highly produced soundtrack. Sorry, this was way longer than I intended it to be.

He always takes one ear pierce out when he prepares for a high note and ye its live and yes its him and unbelievably perfect sorry if u werr hoping for added extras

Thank you Honest,great great reaction...

Hello Georgina, just for your information there are 5 performances of this song on RU-vid at this particular moment. The one ☝🏻 you just analyzed together with another one with acrobatics, both at the Kremlin, same day. Afterwards He sung The Love of tired swans live at his London’s concert. Last week again He performed with Igor Krutoy one more Live versión in Russia because he won the Best Song of the year. Right after his performance they both changed clothes and recorded a Christmas Live video around a selective amount of viewers. I will send a link for you to enjoy the Behind the Scene. All 5 versions are live, Dimash refuses to lip sync,. Listen to the breaths in and out thru the microphone. About the earpiece I will ask myself to Maestro Krutoy and will let you know ASAP. Greetings from Miami.

Dimash "Diva Dance" Bastau 👌

Dimash can do so much with his voice, he doesn’t and never use any adjustments. You need to watch more his videos and concert

Hello! You can listen to his live performance of this song at the London consert. It sounds sooo good! I wish I could have been there! 🙏❤

You can clearly hear the post / tuning , it makes the voice sound more metallic

Thanks for your comments to Dimash but I never doubt about him singing live because he really has a very strong vocal ability. It's often make people to query what they heard. If you're interested, pls do react more about his performaces to make you believe what he is capable of. He is definitely a vocal king😁

👏👏👏👍😍

I would say you got to know him well to really judge his singing performance if it is reverb,auto tuned,pre recorded.....because NO ONE......and I mean NO ONE can decipher his ability how he can do techniques that is beyond in comparison with other great singers combined.THAT IS DIMASH.....THE BEST...... and by the way, HE IS SINGING LIVE here in Kremlin in front of these important people.

Dimash his Voice very beautiful and highest Note(Dimash The Best voice in The World(No one can beat him)

I have seen this MV more than once and from different channels and others do not have that desynchronization. You also have to remember that he is singing with the musicians who are playing live and he is in front of high authorities for the Labor Day in Russia. There are other recordings of that day in other places where he sang and it is not the same. I think it's live only when uploading the MV to the channels sometimes yes, they change and I say it because it happened to me.

And Ave Maria (it's new)!! ❤😎

No...to auto tune or post production adjustments! Dimash always sings live. Just sayin’ ❤️😎

Lool at the top right of the screen writing in a red box it says: LIVE

What link? i check from original dimash official song, video and sound matched well... also other reactors

He's a marvel of nature. 😄👍🏽 I recommend you to listen to (and watch) these performances: •Across endless dimensions •Stranger •SOS (Slavic Bazaar) •Autumn strong (Arnau tour 11.03.2020!). •Know (Original, New Wave 2019) •Ogni Pietra!!!!!!!! •Mademoiselle Hyde ❤

I watched a other vocaol coach (Rebecca) and she traveled to London to watch Dimash life. And she said that Dimash live sounds even better then this. I agree with Sorgeso below that there is clearly a ego effect in some songs but that beside that you hear Dimash singing. Dimash is training since he was 5 years old. And was first on stage when he was 2.

There is reverb but nothing else added to! It is Dimash! ^^

No mama, he's the real deal.💖check out SINFUL PASSION!

Not everyone is invited to sing in the Kremlin. Dimash is 24 years old and he is a unique singer and sings live. Therefore, he was invited to the Kremlin to sing!

Ahh you did it!! I love this performance. As a performer, I'm gonna guess there might be a little compression on the mic and possibly post prod to make the recording sound more crisp. But yeah, there's only so much that can do to help.

👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌✊😘

React to Dimash - Sinful Passion, please!!

I have observed that this kind of issue usually happens with his Igor Krutoy performances.

He could sing exactly the same. But many people doubt it. He changed a lit bit at his last performance with Igor.

The acoustic qualities in the Kremlin are fantastic.

👍

Hear it live in London concert please...

This was a production with producer and composer Igor Kurtoy. Lara Fabian did the song first so this is a cover. I’m not saying they didn’t do anything to the voice, but you’re not looking at a guy who started singing in choir at school or college. At this moment of this song Dimash has over 20 years singing experience and education. He won a contest at 15 yrs after failing to get in 3 years in a row. He won the contest and the prize was a scholarship at the university. He has two masters degrees in classical and contemporary music. Both parents are opera singers and his father a pop singer and producer.raised by his grandparents as is custom for the eldest child in the family.. Dimash has over 100 live performances both on the tube and on his channel. He has perfect pitch and did all of sinful passion live with the AStudopio band and sound an. Look at the venue here. All live music. I think this is the Kremlin. These countries don’t have to use effects for a classically trained singer who has sung live for twenty years. At two he was on stage for a bit part. At five he sang his first song. At five he won his first piano competition. It’s not that might have put effects on the song afterwards, it’s that where they are singing in the best hall in the world they had the equipment to do it live. Because dimash can play nine instrument and sing in twelve languages by ear and by note he could tell or write the sheet music for any instrument or background vocals. He is a master musician in his doctorate who practices vocally 3 hours a day with or without a vocal coach. He doesn’t have to have auto tune which doesn’t work for people changing octaves like he does. But, he doesn’t need it. Go back or on your own and listen to Sinful passion and remember that it’s all live by Dimash and the AStudio band where they’re all master musicians. Igor would have collated with dimash. He is a billionaire producer from Russia who came out of retirement to be dimashs mentor and pianist. They collab.

I know Dimash doesn't do lip syncing. I do believe there is some touch up on some videos in terms of sound maybe eliminating the undesirable noise and other minor touch ups to enhance the effects on sound quality especially those from the competition The Singer. But he definitely sings live. There are videos taken by fans right there that are probably a bit noisier and have poorer sound quality other than that pretty much the same. Please don't say he lip sync. That is an absolute insult to him.

Most of vocal coach dont believe dimash can make that breathy sound..its like they put reverb effect..but if u see hes singing acapella..then u will change ur opinion 🤷‍♂️

his russian dears in force where there but hidden from tv cameras as it. they have multiple live videos of this performance - watch them.

It's live 😋😊

I'd imagine there is some post production going on seeing it's Russian TV with Russian Brass sitting there but I can't believe there can be too much done with his voice. The challenge would be to keep up with his great tones. Feels fairly honest.

Thanks from Kazakhstan!

I love your reactions. Subscribed hoping to hear more reactions to Dimash. His original song "Unforgettable day" and "Halo" please...

Yes and this is nothing for him he broke the World record in high notes.... He reach a D8 watch on RU-vid

Madam he sings life keep your eyes open

Yes, it's not live. But he can do that in live 😁

Dimash is a perfectionist whether anyone likes it or not....We have heard him sing songs in rehearsal and live and it can be hard to detect the inflections....

Also shows your professionalism. Good job on reacting. Like that you are not affraid to say what you said.

this wasn't post produced, it was fully lipped. He has some live versions of this song though, and he sounds as amazing.

ah, finally someone that hears it as well. yes, it is live, but there are differences between his performances, and this is definitively one of the good ones, where the sound engineer knew what he was doing. its not raw, but for such an occasion, should it be? i enjoy good sound mixing, its part of the package...

If you are truly a vocal coach you should know the difference between real and dubbed. I understand Dimash is so amazing that it is hard to comprehend. But he is the real thing and you should listen to several versions of the same song that he sings. Then I would appreciate an apology. Sorry, but I have been watching Dimash since he started on Singer and know his singing upside down and backwards. I have watched everything on You Tube that he has done, so am a bit passionate about him.

Hello, thank you for your video. Dimash sings always live that’s who he is and how he is ! May be if you travel to Kazakhstan and listen how Kazakh people sing just suggestion, if you would like may be then you have more understanding and have some idea that he sings live. Dimash always invites “Welcome to Kazakhstan” And if you listen to signing of Dimash’s mother both of his parents are singers! from Texas 🇰🇿🇺🇸

nothing has been retouched. it was a live streem show. I saw Dimash at one of his concerts and it is the same sound

For sure he is completely able to sing same performance. As a musician I think this is a post production. Audio clarity , instruments, effects... He is a Great singer. Everybody knows but he is a human. This means he can do playback:-)

The audio has been strongly modified after the take. There's a lot of post production going on, of the tipe you can't do on the go. For some reasons, the TV decided to give a very sleek and "plasticised" sound at the performance in post production.

Buenas noches. No eres la primer persona en dudar de la calidad y potencia de la voz de Dimash, es tan bueno que se entiende que muchas personas les cueste trabajo aceptar que alguien puede cantar así, porque estamos tan llenos de cantantes basura que cuando sale alguien con este fantástico talento, no lo pueden creer. Afortunadamente Dimash es real, su capacidad es real, su voz es real, y puedo notar que te cuesta trabajo creerlo porque ni siquiera hiciste comentarios sobre sus notas agudas en la parte lírica de la canción. Espero que puedas ver y criticar más presentaciones de Dimash para que vayas despejando tus dudas. Si te parece bien, aquí te dejo un enlace con una canción de su primer concierto masivo como solista, la canción se llama "Daybreak" y el enlace es de su canal oficial: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2kZTJjLoD64.html

I am not sure what to believe because you are a trained vocal teacher and I keep hearing there are video recording phones at live concerts that prove, cause of the proximity to singer, that he is not doing lip-sync. Though, it is a possibility that to avoid mistakes during live show, they decided to lip-sync some parts. In any case. it was a great video.

BTW, did you watch the recent x-factor? The sound was enhanced too but they definitely sang live.

I watched this when it was live, so no post production. As for lip syncing, Dimash feels strongly about it just like you. If they have asked him to lip sync he walks away from the show,

Apparently the Kremlin does not use ear pieces.

For reacting as vocal coach position...you should describe and explain how that sound/voice produced, not comment common way like "oh his voice change" etc..even ordinary people can comment like that without as vocal coach.. I would like to say sorry for your student if they have a coach like you...please take a look Rebecca who from same country as yours..she is a good example for how to react as in her title...

I think that performance wasn't live but the other one of the same song that's on his channel is the live version

I think he didn’t do any adjustment to his voice. He is talented

Dimash doesn't like to use voice altering software. But, I agree, it does seem like producers doctored it after the live show.

It's live. You can tell because the somewhat unappealing mouth noises are still in.

You should try reacting to The female version of Dimash: “Aurora” and the stripped version of the song “through the eyes of a child” its a live version
