Chris you’ve done it again. I’m a musical theatre major with a bass voice whose always been taught to try and push my chest higher or to just embrace my low notes. I can sing in head voice at least to a G5 and want to be able to belt that “middle” octave most theatrical, rock, and pop songs sit in with a strong mix. Your videos and course have helped me learn individual practice discipline and singing techniques I’ve never had before because I felt stuck following what my school assigned teachers have said. The industry needs more teachers like you!
I LOVE getting comments like this. I'm so glad you've been impacted by the course and my videos! GREAT to hear. Keep practicing... keep pushing (well don't push too much in the literal sense hehe)
I might never be a professional singer, but one thing's for sure, the fact that just being aware of the mindset and the sensations that Chris explains was enough for improving my car singing. Now imagine if you commit to it. You are an excellent teacher, Chris!
All I can say is- priceless. In the past few months I went from classically trained choir voice to mixed voice, vocal fry gritty...in a healthy way. So grateful
So ever since I started doing the tips he gave us I do feel my abs tightening instead of my throat and I can sing from G4 to B4 comfortably while I used to strain to hit a G4 and A4 was near impossible to achieve, thanks alot for your tips Chris, u legit helped me discover my mixed voice in a month while I spent 5 years trying to find it.
@@musicval7462 I kinda found it through one exercise Chris put up, like you're talking but shouting, he gave an example of some rock singer who was doing the same thing to mix.
Chris is the best vocal coach on RU-vid because he’s not afraid to sound like a dying cat if it will help get you into mix voice. It’s literally the ONLY technique that’s ever worked for me. I’ve done the Ken Tamplin lessons, the Per Bristo lessons... and a ton of others that never worked. Thank you so much Chris!
You've addressed so many of my concerns here. You are so big on "feeling" and verbalizing the feelings, how my body feels when I am making noise with my voice. Just trying to be conscious of this is blowing my mind. This is very new territory for me but think it is the key to unlocking vocal potential.
One of the most influential vocal coaches in youtube, Chris doesn't aim to encourage you to believe in boring evidences, instead he uses his voice and experience in order to resonate his message to us.
And he sneakily teaches nonjudgement and an attitude of trust and exploration with every little adjustment. We came here to sing better and this motherfucker tricked us into being all around healthier and more aware humans entirely. What a motherfucking boss.
Oh hell, Chris, this is exactly what's been rearing its head on me recently. I like using a high belted chest sometimes, but everything else has been escaping me in terms of upper range in that middle/mixed voice. Thanks for this!
I have watched tons of videos on improving high register singing cuz I have always sucked at it, but you present these concepts and vocal experiments in a way that makes so much sense and I have not seen from anyone else.
Sometimes I tend to tense my voice singing really high to get a nice strong chesty voice, and then I have to remind myself "Remember what uncle Chris said. If you have to tense to get the sound you're doing it wrong. Only tense to get the right feel to the sound you're able to get while singing untensed. Don't tense to get the note", Well I hope I'm paraphrasing well enough. Cheers from Poland. You are a great teacher and singer!
I am looking for this info and very glad to find your vdo. I noticed something missing from my voice. This vdo answered all. Thank you very much, from Thailand.
This was great Chris. Excellent little exercise to perform before going out and singing a show just to refamiliarize with the different shades & contrasts of your voice. Thanks for this!!!
I’ve really learned my lesson, no pun intended. I thought I could take couple weeks off the DYV program and stop watching your videos because I’m also taking lessons locally now. But I was so wrong. I forgot a lot of vital information you’ve taught me about resonance and the nasal mask. A few minutes into this video and I suddenly can sing these high belts again. I feel so silly for forgetting this stuff so quickly. Lol You are awesome, Chris!
Great lesson man. I can really relate to this. I also often mess up my screams live, because I tend to over compress. I dig the funky backup track too. Thanks again Chris
I think thats the very thing I struggle with, there's a lot of things that I can do while I practice or warm up, that I struggle to do in the course of a song. Thank you for the tips, I'll practice that !
Would love a video on Ian Thornley's voice.....grit at quite volumes (to my ears), insane. I don't know how he does it. Love your courses by the way, I'm grateful.
Since girls don't necessarily have a falsetto, I take this exercise as head voice, mixed voice and chest. What I've noticed, as you've kind of demoed here is you can hit the exact same notes in different voices. Overlapping. I think would be helpful to demo that, like how you can sing the same few notes in mixed and chest and how it feels different. Or head and Chest. I notice my chest voice and my very high head voice are the loudest with or without support. I think in a bad way too as I'm accused a lot of singing too soft, regardless of how well I sing. . Also, do you offer zoom lessons?
For some reason, I haven't been getting your latest videos but this is so cool as I discovered what you're talking about (more or less) on my own. At least I get to catch up on videos for inspiration but I do wish I was getting them like I should be. (Subscribed and notifications on.) Always a pleasure and an inspiration Chris. Merry Christmas and God bless you and yours! Lee C.
Hmm... that's irritating for both of us!! I'm sorry your not getting pinged. Are you part of my email list? I email about most new videos. You can sign up for my free voice course to get on the list if you're not on it already :)
@@chrisliepe I'm the guy from your "Discover Your Voice" course ("The Genesis Revelation" song). Come to think of it, not getting your emails either. They're not showing up in Spam, I check that daily.
@@WhaleBluePRS Ah yes!! always tough to tell from RU-vid usernames :) I wonder if you opted out at some point by accident. Send me an email at chris@mymusicalvoice.com with the email you used for the course and I'll see that you get added back in!
Poop & puke muscles, nasal cavity good, & characters. Just those three things made me a much more confident singer. Free advise like this goes above & beyond. Thanks boss.
This was an eye opening video once again! Thanks Chrissie! I'd love you to Instruct us to singing like Conor Mason from Nothing but thieves. The kid has really composed instrument and i just don't see how he does some of the stuff he does. This video actually helped me out a lil when trying to figure out how to sing like this guy. Some of the contrasts he's capable of are just so weirdly high but strong at the same time that it doesn't make sense to me. ^^
Hi Chris, ive been listening to the scorpions song still loving you, and Klaus meine has an awesome voice especially hitting the higher notes - he is quite nasal but also seems to use a mixed voice. Any chance you could look at his style please and do a video on him? Cheers
Thank you so much for your advice.I love it. I have a question . How to sing in mixed voice with relax and more warm tone voice around G4 to B4? I mean a bit more chesty. I can hit it with distortion but i also like to sing with warm and clean tone.
Thanks for this video. Interesting. I guess the tracks you use are yours right? If so, it would be interesting that you do some videos in how to make those tracks/songs, etc. In general, like songs or backing tracks in different styles.
Hey Chris, have you ever tried to cover Jimi Jamison's vocals? It would be amazing to learn something about his techniques! EDIT: Forgot to add, thank you for all these videos man, each and everyone of them helped tremendously with my singing, I still have a long way to go tho hahaha.
I can access clean mixed voice fairly easy now, its mixed voice grit that illudes me, even compressing i find it hard to get grit at high mixed voice tones. As i raise up the intensity some grit might come out but i feel its not me controling it, more the moment, any pointers on this? if i go down on the notes a bit i can push some fierce grit thou. As allways huge thanks to you man, im a much better and complete singer now thanks to your videos, cant wait for this pandemic to end so i can use my new skills live, stay you \m/
It's always tough for me to tell based on a youtube comment or username, but have you taken any of my courses yet? If you have, I can point you to some areas within those courses that will be right up your alley, if you haven't consider heading over to www.mymusicalvoice.com and looking at Discover Your Voice & the Aggressive Vocalist's Master Plan of Attack.
@@chrisliepe I have the free course but havent got thru it yet, ive been following the videos you post here on you tube mostly and they have helped me a ton, thanks for the reply, ill go thru your videos and practice, i feel its just a matter of time before i get there and its a great feeling as opposed to man ill never get there, im sure every vocalist goes thru this several times in their everlasting learning process :) Now i really feel the sky is the limit
How do I mix tastefully? Ie quietly and lightly? On the rare occasion that my mix works, or what I think is mix, it is loud and bears an extremely harsh, brassy timbre. Although that works fine in an intense rock song, I would also enjoy having a more emotive option for softer songs and other genres, specifically choral. I know mixing in such a way is not impossible - your mix is nowhere near as annoying. This video mentions contrast, but I am not even sure where to start with adding that. Thanks for the help.
when you said you hadn’t entered your mix yet, do you know what notes you hit? mentally i feel like i can hit those notes but physically i know i probably can’t
@@chrisliepe fantastic! Thanks so much. I’m a huge fan of his and I’d love to suggest some of his best songs if you’d like. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TCAyi2xS7J8.html 2:08 in this video blew my mind
Hey Chris. I was wondering how I can stop my falsetto from cutting out. Whenever I try to sing in it, it'll randomly cut out and it'll be silent. I'm a bass
Stop trying to SING with your head voice and work on talking in it for awhile :) No pressure to hold to pitch and then you can focus on FEEL and cord closure. :)
It might be a dumb question My friend told me that he learned how to scream under water Is that method allowed? Sorry for my eng tho Hope u can get what i meant
I don't know if I'd try something like that just from a safety point of view, but I can see where he's coming from. It forces you to engage your false cords!
