Voice Teacher Reacts to Evanescence - My Immortal (Live) 

I wish she would ♥️

Trur. Sexiest female I've ever heard

Veggie Tales makes me cry too! And she sings good

Yes! She's amazing and her voice is memorizing

Ville Lotjonen same lol

forrrrrrreal it's so cute!

#enunciationonfleek

I came here to say this. It's adorable

This is such a beautiful description for her voice. Absolutely true. I'm gonna see her again for the 4th time live in April and I can't wait!

I agree!! Shes amazing!!

​@@0Onyx13 I've only been fortunate enough to see her once and I almost left early. She was on tour with Seether and came out during their set and sounded horrible. Must have been a bad mic because she came out was just blew that stadium down.

I’ve seen her live a couple times. She’s soo amazing 💕 was a hardcore fan in high school.

Right 👌👌👌👌

It's not her least favorite song to perform. She was just tired to sing it too many times cause it was very popular. But im pretty sure she loves to perform it.

@@channe4558 Where do you take that information from? As I understand Matthew Scott, he knows it is not her favourite because he actually talked to her.

@@LaNoireDetruit well, where does it say that amy said "my immortal is my least favorite song to perform" to him??? He just said he met them, didn't say he heard this information from her.

patlamis misir it’s inferred. He didn’t quote anything that was said. Just that they had a conversation about everything.

@@channe4558 itself her least favorite because Ben moody wrote it for her and after their break up she hated the song but began to love it after awhile as the years passed

powowliofkd LMAO @ way back in the day! That is super cute. How long ago was it for you? I am like 51 so for me way back in the day has a completely different meaning. We had no videos, RU-vid, VCR's, DVD players, blu ray players, cells phone OMG how did we live like that? Seriously it is unthinkable now to think of a household with 1 phone plugged into the wall with a super long chord to get any privacy! (if you could even) LOL

@@moriganna67ify so in 2003, I was in 8th grade at the time. I totally understand, as we were in the stone ages technalogically where I grew up. We had a party phone line with our neighbors, complete with rotary dial. I had to learn how to use a computer on DOS LOL!! Most kids these days dont even know what DOS was lol!

powowliofkd she epitomized 4th grade for me.

she is me right now as a senior in high school

Evanescence was a major part of the soundtrack for the death of my father. Amy Lee, Enya, Mary Fahl, and David Gray to list the people whose voices I associate with that part of 03.

only reason why I subbed to him. awesome how he does not break down, just teaches in such a positive way.

I like throat as well *all throat*

You are so right. People shouldn't demean one another. When it comes to anything, people should support each other. I'm not a trained singer. I'm self taught have been singing since before I could even speak properly. I would like to get some training, especially for my breathing, since I have a hard time with it. I taught myself a certain way and am trying to sing more with my diaphragm, cause I like to belt out powerful notes and I need as much breath as possible for them. lol Sorry, rambling. Anyway, I agree with your comment completely! I always go off on a tangent. I apologise for that. XD

Out of curiousity, who was it?

probably Carl John Franz. He's so irritating.

I do the same. I love music and I got my love of it from my Uncle who passed 3 years ago. It brought him and I closer together and he was the only male/father figure I had(I haven't seen my dad in 9 years). And him and I would get so lost in music together. I love a very wide range of genre's.

Yes! I had to watch the video again just because I was watching him do that alone.

Zazoo Flores best analogy I’ve heard

@@morgansample6718 I think it's like a mix of a violin and cello like I've tried to explain her voice over the years but that's the closest I can come to it.

@@zazooflores A mix between a violin and a cello? Did you mean: a viola?

@@MartyMusic777 never heard one🤷🏻‍♀️

@@zazooflores Well, you've heard an orchestra, right? That mid-range background fuzz is the viola section.

Jenna Miller 🤣🤣🤣

Same

Same

Stay hydrated my friends. Lol

Amy: *drinks water* Me: Ugh queen.

Yes even decades later this song hits me like an avalanche! CHILLSSS. All the feels.

It's Goth Rock/Metal. Most vocalists in this genre put so much emotion into their lyrics and vocals.😊😊😊

Ok that makes sense! I remember the song from when I was in high school but nothing about them sense (I’m more of an RnB gal😆) but the first 10 seconds was just, wow! I too wondered if she could have been telling a story, this was amazing!

Omg I've never thought about this song in that way....thank you for your comment as it seriously makes me hear this in a completely different way and feels so much more emotional, deep and real.

The song is about her former boyfriend, Seether vocalist Sean Morgan and being there while going through his addiction to heroin.... She did a few songs on the subject....

@@swingingmeatwheeler9882 You couldn't be more wrong! Lololol it's actually kinda funny. My Immortal was written by Ben Moody (co-founder of Evanescence who left the band) about either a short story or his grandfather's death ;)

yes!!

It's great, isn't it?

There are so many incredible vocalists out there. Here’s one: Einar from leprous is jaw dropping. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_9o2nVY8FZ0.html

Yeah, she's a very emotional singer and has such a great voice. But, she looked like she was in pain here and I was a bit worried. I felt the strain in her voice and her facial expression told me that she was straining a lot. Maybe she was just tired.

I feel this when i see her performances, like Made Of Stone, The Chance, End Of The Dream and Lacrymosa.

@@ReptilianTeaDrinker yes, this is probably the worst I've ever heard her. I'm thinking she wasnt feeling well.

Seems like she just had lost her brother.

She thought about her brother and a friend

Floor Jenson of Nightwish is better.

@@terriewatson8828 no one asked

@@koffinkiss awwww. Are your feelings hurt? Too damn bad. Get a life, sweety.

Vicki Lee True, such a role model

Ditto.

I’m narrowing my vowels more in the shower now and wondering what my bridge situation is! My shower and car singing have never had such critical attention. You should hear me singing Chandelier by Sia at the top of my lungs in the shower. The dog runs away.

Lmfao. Same

@@saraheeeeeee4552 This is a fantastic comment! Almost sprayed soda out my nose!

Yes, an analysis of All Around Me (especially the acoustic version) would be really nice !

Laney Amy and Hayley are my baby mamas

Her name is actually Lacey. Lacey Mosley.

Damn, that girl is a beast when singing. Very unique.

Ivy Collins Poitras lmao yes

I've had those moments too. Times where I felt that my younger self acted ridiculous and overdramatic about trivial things. But at the time, those "trivial things" weren't trivial. They were big, and horrid, and incredibly painful. Maybe they were even the worst things that had ever happened up to me at that point in my life. They were completely valid feelings at the time I was feeling them. Once I realized all that, I was able to let myself off the hook a bit, and it has helped me be a much better friend, mentor and mother. Because I can remember how horrible those "silly" things felt while they were happening, I can better empathize with others' feelings. Even if I personally or objectively place different emotional value on a particular situation. Give your 11 year old self a bit of wiggle room. You weren't pretending or faking it for attention. You were experiencing very real hurt at the time. And I bet you are an excellent friend now because you know how awful heartbreak can hurt.

@@vanessachristopher1515 Your comment is very sweet, however maybe the OP literally just meant they were imagining stuff to be upset about. Listening to music can do that to you.

Lmao yes

I went to that concert too! They were all just amazing!

Same! I was so mad when people left before she performed and left between each popular song of hers.

TeacupTempest I was sitting in the aisle seat and I had to get up so many times because people just couldn't sit still! Come on, people! I'm glad we were in the nose bleeds though because the orchestra section flooded when the tide came in.

Me too! She’s such an emotional performer

That was a great show! I was at an outdoor festival and there was just something really special about having her vocals float out over the summer evening air. Ethereal and perfect.

OMG Sam you an got Official Evanescence Member visit!!!

Oh hiiiiii Jen! I loved the Synthesis tour! I went to an Evanescence concert 12 years ago and I really feel like Amy's voice has only gotten better since then. Being able to focus on singing instead of running around definitely makes a difference too.

Awesome.

JEN, YOU ARE AN AWESOME HUMAN BEING,FOR A LOT OF THINGS AND FOR THIS! But i have to say, even running around she sounded amazing when i saw you guys live last year. She's just that good! But i loved what you guys did with this as well, Amy sounds great. SAM, CONGRATZ!

@DarkCrea Silver Absolutely, she sounds great during the rock shows. Call me fan :) but I know it from my own experience as a front vocalist, it is way more tougher and more challenging to keep your breath control when you head bang ;) Thanks for the sweet message.

You may see yourself out now

No you may see yourself in now

*stands in doorway*

*beckons you to come hither*

I love all the Jazz shirts he wears! Keep up the love!!!

Fucking same. The IPA vowel chart is one of the worst things I've ever experienced, most of the time I don't know which central vowel to use in transcription, not even narrow transcription lmfao I love the conceptual side of linguistics, especially the whole concept of deixis and pragmatics and all that jazz, that comes naturally... but the mechanical side is just like *head-desk* level of *fuck*.

Neko 79 she's actually a mezzo-soprano.

I love her voice

I agree. I was able to see her this summer and I would agree with you that her voice can sound a little tired when she gets to this point.

@@pxblx As a totally uneducated ear I prefer the pitch (probably not the correct technical term) of a mezzo. Less shrill, more warmth.

It didn't.

It did, makes perfect sense.

Would love to see him react to Lost in Paradise by Evanescence as well!

loved the synthesis version of "end of the dream" :)

I used to love Emilie Autumn in High School, lmao. Haven't listened to her in a while.

And he doesn't shit on any of them really, which seems that a lot these "professional (blank) analyzes this (blank) seem to like doing a là Simon Cowell.

English is my second language, my fist one is Spanish, (I'm from Mexico). I have always liked singing in english rather than Spanish as I feel it's easier, and I think it is because of this same reason: phonetics. Singing in Spanish is so different for me, I feel that your voice gets too boring, there's only much you can with only five vowels, lol. Once I realized this , I started to change my vowels a little bit when I sing in Spanish so it gets easier, it doesn't sound like perfect Spanish anymore but, hey, you gotta do what you gotta do. So, being able to speak English helps me sing better overall. Win win situation. 🤓

Phonetics plays a massive role in singing and speech. Learning German as a second language, I spent a lot of time listening to native German singers and their English accents to learn the differences in phonetics. Also, singing in German helped me learn dramatically as well and it's really not that much harder than native English for me.

Of course it does, different languages position vocals and consonants in different places in the mouth

I’m an intermediate Scottish Gaelic learner and I’ve found so far that singing in Gaelic feels easier than just speaking. Pronounciations stick in my head with a melody or something. Now, learning when and where to put emphasis is harder because I’m still learning sentence structures. This may not be how every language learner feels though, because I started learning to sing and play music at like 2-3 y/o.

Spanish is also my first language! (Venezuelan here) and while I do prefer singing and writing in English, I actually feel like I sound better in Spanish for some reason. I'm pretty sure I change some vowel sounds as well, and maybe even some consonant sounds. I'd have to pay more attention to my singing in the future.

My name's Laura, too 💚

That is a truly sad pacman

Me too!!

My name isn’t Laura...

I changed my name to Laura

Monscent totally agree!

Omg I wish I could pin this. You're a genius why didn't I think of that? Or what about him reacting to that Barracuda cover by Nick and the Groove. That young man absolutely slayed it.

Holy shit, yes

Ann is fantastic! Heart's cover of Stairway to Heaven was perfection...

@@taliabarreto3628 Did you see Robert Plant tear up?! Only she could do that. Someone told me they absolutely loathe being covered. That was amazing.

Talia Barreto great idea!

I'm practicing

I kind of appreciate the self correcting because I can't hear lyrics

@@SamJohnsonVoice You did well with that error. The last "just" that popped up made me laugh. You handled it well! Good sense of humor about it! I enjoy your videos tremendously!

A great track would be A.T.W.A. The force Serj gets in each word of the chorus is insane.

I'd like to see him do Forrest or aerials

I literally had the same thought! Anything from SOAD would be interesting

Gets my vote!!

I was thinking Of Blood and Salt by Gojira, specifically Devin Townsend's part in the first 2 minutes or so of the song. Amazing range and power. "Swallow the liiiiiiiies, from siiiiick ideeeeoooools"

m j I'm not... but only because I already did last week :) now I wait patiently for new videos.

SECONDED!!

Absolutely "thirded"!

Personally to me it sounds like this is now a necessity.

yes, specifically her performance at royal albert hall!!

Yes please!!!

Kimberley M I experience vocal fatigue all the time just talking for a little over 20 minutes. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Doing song service at church just kills me. Especially since the song leader is usually an alto, but I’m soprano so she’ll start the song a bit to low for me to follow all the way through.

So yeah I second this.

+Narlande Mendez Check out the book Set Your Voice Free by Roger Love. You might be hurting your voice even when speaking by using the wrong techniques for projection etc.

Eva SF Yes! That would be a great video!

Can’t sing for peanuts lol :)

I'm going to remember that phrase, because I can't sing either and I'm too scared to start trying or taking lessons. Music class in junior high has made me fear singing. Talking about teaching music wrong. Where was mr. Johnson when I needed him? xD

Don't you dare say that you can't sing. Everybody has the capacity to be good at singing. Some just need a little practice. That's fact too. Every single voice on this planet has the ability to sing. (Well unless your mute in which case I'm sorry if I offended)

The Voice is altering the performance a lot with effects. It doesn’t make a lot of sense analyzing those computer voices.

I was searching for a comment about this word and finally found it, thanks a lot)))

Same here.

Just!!! :( haha

Melissa KBK I too am constantly checking my vowel sounds and mouth shape during my morning car sessions 😂

There’s no singing quite like car singing. Oh and the looks society gives sometimes are priceless😂

Melissa KBK I want to buy like 80% of his t-shirts. He might have a lucrative side gig selling the t-Shirt he is wearing on each review.

ll val ll that slow zoom almost half way through.... hahaha

I took the liberty of listening to "Ghost love Score", I analyzed her vocals and determined them to be "smooth like butter".

Yeah!!! that would be so great!!!

What the fuck.. i just commented this

So proud of that woman 😍😍

It helps that she is also a vocal teacher/ coach...so she knows how the vocal folds work.

Video says: uploaded 5 hours ago. your comment 6 hours ago. what kind of black magic is this?

Same!!!!

damn Evanescene

AMY QUEEN

Sacha Schmitz I have no idea, all I know is I clicked the video as soon as the notification popped up on my phone. I think youtube is having a hard time keeping up with things.

Vera Skomarokha I HAVE THE SAME. Nobody I've seen is this precise and I feel I'm wasting time watching anyone else 😂

Me tooooooo omg

This sucked for you, huh... 😁

This is definitely a different style. I dont like it at all lol it just doesn’t do her justice. Watch the video tittled “amy less tribute to my mom” its a recent gig and she sounds much better in it just like the old days.

Sarah Grant lees* lol

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-M0WiHTGtAyw.html

She sang my immortal always like that since Over 15 years lol

Hey, i wanted to give you some support because I understand the struggle. You're doing great!

Beatriz Branco you can make it. You are strong and brave. You can do this

We’re here for you sweetie. You CAN sing through anything and you are NOT ALONE. Reach out if you need anything, I’m more than willing to listen! 💕💕💕

That's such a great song!!!!!

Yessssss!!!

Totally 😍

I've watched soooo many of her live performances of this song and she always seems to keep it very tense compared to the studio version and then she only really seems to let go in the tail end. p interesting to me

This song is hard

Jessica Armenta It's one of the easier ones though. Ever listened to "Hello" ?.

Jane Doe X No I haven’t.... what do I know I don’t know anything about singing it just seems hard when I’ve tried to sing it

The song is about her sister dying

I feel you! The same "epiphany" hit me when I was cooking just yesterday and casually rung in some high notes that I would usually have to push to death to barely scratch - and it was totally comfortable. I guess relaxing, and breathing, and getting out of our own head is what improves most life situations after all, including singing. :D

Same, the video on breathing alone was amazing. I haven't had any kind of training, but I've been singing/performing all my life. No guidance. Just winging it I guess, and I picked up a lot of bad habits including shitty breathing but his videos are so so helpful

Yay! That’s how you know Sam knows his shit!

Melissa H prayers for you and your child

I hope you and your kid are doing well and that you're happier now ❤

Holy shit. You said 17 years ago and I thought you were nuts. It actually has been over 17 years.. fuck me.

Thanks for sharing that, it's good to hear music helps people 💜 I hope you're doing better now! :)

Bless you. I lost two babies and am pregnant successfully with my third. The pain is unbearable for any Mother but you have such a graceful composed demeanor its very encouraging.

Victoria Ruthardt LOVE me some Halestorm!

Victoria Ruthardt I just said that!!! I would love to see his thoughts on Lzzy

I just requested Lizzy, Hayley Williams, and Amy Lee in the same video lol!

Same

Heather singing should not hurt your throat unless strain is being put on the vocal cords. (or from being tired of singing which happens to me at times LMAO) I think you are probably right in that it was BS however it is only my opinion. I used to make this mistake myself and not be able to hit the pitchier sounds. Now that my voice can relax they come out much better. Sams techniques really work and I am super glad I found him. He is such a lovable guy and gives amazing perspective without being nasty.

Hahaha! Love your "can't carry a note if it was a bucket" analogy.

I was taught to start singing as similarly to talking as possible at first because "trying" to sing is more likely to cause tension/strain/etc. A choir director who had been a professional opera singer had us plug our ears and talk to each other while holding the notes of the words (so we were sing-song talking) to get used to a relaxed feel in the throat.

ikr🤗🤗🤗

He's very kind and genuine. A beautiful soul..

Oh my goodness I'd forgotten about Lacuna Coil!

YES! Within Temptation especially! I'd love a reaction for The Heart of Everything or Solemn Hour! She seems to go up so high!

Or something with Floor Jansen with either Nightwish or After Forever, preferably After Forever. Analyzing her singing live with Soilwork would be a great two for one with Bjorn from Soilwork.

Oooh within temptation Yes!

Letícia Soares Calvi HALESTORM!!! He needs to do HALESTORM!
