Why are Ee and Ooo vowels so hard to sing and place? How can we sing them well AND work them into our own vocal style in a way that capitalizes on our strengths? The answers are right here! In this lesson, we look at using these vowels in ways that don't get in the way of hitting or holding certain notes... They actually enhance our overall sound and resonance. If you know how to approach them, they become useful tools instead of vowels to avoid!
Dude, THESE vowels in particular are what I have struggled with for YEARS. Thank you so much for this video.
how to sing like Chris Liepe?
Jhon Mark Borreros, already on the channel, it's a great video ;)

@@Mr_Marker Thank you, loyal fan
dude i've been struggling with this for MONTHS. real lightbulb moment here XD. thank you so much
same
Me from years....🔥
never clicked a video so fast, been struggling with this for over 10 years
Its absolutely magical how I just practice my normal singing and I encounter a problem, I keep practicing and once again I happen to be on youtube and find yet again that you have made a video on the exact subject I was having trouble at. You're great at what you are doing, and a true inspiration Chris. Much love!
Thanks so much!!
Very helpful 🙏🥰
Wow, this clicked so fast, I could increase my range on 'ee' by 3 notes instantly! Thank you so much for this.
Oh lord! The grit on your voice! I adore!🙌
Chris Liepe is the GOAT my goodness so many practical ways of solving vocal issues! Thank you!!
Awesome. That is a break through lesson to me how to sing more forward n relax my throat n tongue. I have watched hundreds of RUclips n you r the best one in showing us the techniques n logic behind it. Thank you so much!
So he saying start with a then i... then make the a invisible?
Just in case anyone comes straight to the comments... Skip to 6:04 rn
I'd love to see you do a "how to sing like" on Marilyn Mason. He has such a unique voice and I've been trying for years to figure out what he's doing
I'am 3 minutes in and you already fixed a major problem i was having with going higher, it would have taken me months to find out what was the source of my problem, i wasn't even thinking about vowels, you're by far the best voice teacher in youtube, thank you so much and keep up the great work!
Awesome! Glad to hear that! :)
Wow what you sang at the start was great
So helpful - thanks! Trying to sing Ooo vowels for a voice class I'm taking and for my own songwriting and have struggled so much. Your ideas really helped, and I was also very impressed with your control over high notes without straining.
A thousand times thank you! This crucial info, You explain it so well that it easily makes sense
So helpful! Thank you!
Thanks a bunch!
wow awesome lesson!
I can't think of many big high notes on OO... Just Whitney Houston, I will always love yOOOOOO
What are some more?
Big high notes on EE
- Freefalling - Tom Petty
- Keep on Rocking in the Free World - Neil Young
- Even Flow - Pearl Jam (kneeling, feeling, chases them awaEE)
- National anthem (land of the freeee)
- Call Me Al - Paul Simon (call meeee Al)
i am so happy with what ive learnt from this lesson !!
i could hit the note but it sounded like shit ! i can do it now !!
thank you so much
Thanks so much for this
The vowel stuff was the most helpful part for me from your 12 week course. I'm glad you hit on it again on here. Its good for me to be reminded. My ee and oos have gotten much better sense, but I still screw them up sometimes
Right on!
Man! This and Tilian Pearson's video really unlocked my voice. Finally open throat makes sense and singing without straining has become a real sensation, not just a concept thrown at you :-) thanks so much!
Great to hear!!
Thank you very much, Chris!!!!! ✌️✌️✌️
THE VIDEO I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR! I LOVE YOU
Once again, a powerful tool that you offer us. Thanks a lot
And that just helped me unlock the «Pardon me » chorus from Incubus I couldn’t understand why this ME would not pass. Wow that’s a huge leap, thank you so much
This is helping my vibrato so much tho good stuff
Yay vowel placement!
that outro "uu"! nice!
Hi Chris, could you do a video on microphone technique and tips for recording vocals?
🙏 THANK YOU 🙏
Man i think chris is my favorite singing teacher haha...man he is so great at teaching and he is so funny LoL
Thanks! :)
Awesome man. Could you consider making a video about ryan mccombs the singer from drowning pool or brent smith from shinedown?
hi I think is easy to find place where those vowels shewed resonate if you try to sing them vibrato even you singing them always on the end add vibrato like a check
OMG, this helps so much! For me it's ee. Great video!
Please do David Draiman of Disturbed!!
Chris, I think Steve Walsh when it comes to singers with beautiful "oo" vowel. It's right in the pocket.
C'mon do Ian Gillan! Been really enjoying this vids Chris, keep it up man you're awesome
Any lessons on holding the note for long? As in, singing a note and then prolonging it in both chest voice as well as head voice. : ) I searched but couldn't find one.
Can you do a video on how to sing like Daniel Gildenlow.
can you do a vid about singers who used to scream but dont do it anymore and why they chose to not use grit? Ive always wondered if its about age or if singing agressively does damage to your voice over time
Check out this one! ruclips.net/video/RU-WW0wedp8/видео.html
Hey, love your content. I watch several vocalcoaches here on YT but find you as one of the best ones. Why is your Vocal Course free, im just curious because most Coaches charge money for that.
I offer a Free Vocal course, as well as a paid 12-week Discover Your Voice course. :)
Hey Chis, great video!, Please do a sing like Nate Ruess? Thanks!
so valuable! :D
What is that jingle at the beginning? It’s lovely
Try a big smile (see Nicolai Gedda) when singing Ee vowel ... Cheek to cheek, a smile big enough to raise the soft palate.
I have a very hard time on the mixed voice part on Like Suicide by Soundgarden. On the line "had to th"I"nk of something sweet" in that one I it's very hard for me and It comes up very wavy. And it's weird because I can sing the "She L"I"ved like a murder but she died" way easier, even if that's an higher note
I can do these things at slow speeds as shown, but find it much more difficult to insert them into a fast paced rock track - could you please give some examples of how to modify vowels when pushing against faster melody lines ?
Weird thing is, I have the opposite problem; Ee and Ooo is easier for me to hit stronger and resonant yet Aaa is the one I'm always off-key / swallowing . Still learned something here tho; thanks Chris!
It could be imbalance between your chest and head voice registers ?
Is it possible to be the opposite? I sing my ee’s and oo’s smoothly with resonance but I fail with the Ahhs and everything in between lol 🤷🏻♀️ 🤦🏻♀️
Weird, I thought it was just me and was about to ask the same question. I have super powerful EEE’s but weak falling off Ahh’s.
Another one here
do you go deeper with those ee and oo vowels into the twelve weeks course? into which week?
very much so!
How to sing like Eric Martin of Mr. Big fame! He has an interesting vowel shape and grit/rasp!
Is there a striving to raise that point in which you have to bend your vowels to hit a higher note?
that hasn't worked for me. Striving of any kind leads to the opposite of what we're trying to do... every time. It's more about practicing dynamic placement to figure out, with your voice, how to place and shape things so you can get a uniquely awesome result out of your voice! I can help you with that in my courses!
Thanks a lot Chris, I had a lot of struggle to figure this out by myself when I first started singing, and those vowels still give me some trouble.. Actually, I have another problem now: I can perfectly sing the very open "EH" and "OH" vowels and go from chest to mix to head voice, but I have a lot of struggle with the "AH", I can't transition from chest to mix, it looks to me that my chest AH and my mix AH are completely different and I can't connect them, can't figure out why, any tips? I don't know if its a problem of my voice (could be)
I know I'm not Chris, but I want to try to help.
Are you able to transition with your "AA" vowel (as in Apple)? I feel that "AA" is pretty similar in shape to "AH".
Are you able to sing the "AH" vowel well in head voice? You'll find it's easier to sing "EE" and "OO" than "AH" in head voice. Strengthening your "AH" head voice might help.
Otherwise, my only advice would be to try singing "AH" VERY forward with lots of compression and diaphragm and really concentrate on making the vowel feel "smaller". "AH" is such an open throat sound and it's possible that you're making the sound too big - holding onto too much weight as you move up in range.
Hopefully that helps a little! :)
Hey! Do you have any videos about singing without vocal fry? I can only bring a chesty mix up to an Eb4 without getting distorted. I’m not straining or hurting myself, but no girl is going to think me singing “can’t take me eyes off of you” heavy metal style is romantic. It’s always been like this, too.
Check out this one for a bit on that! ruclips.net/video/pMrUI1zoHjE/видео.html
Do you do online lessons (like skype etc.)?
I do for those who have enrolled in my 12-week vocal course! But I also have a free vocal course - the link is in the description here of this video! :)
Hey chris, this video actually address my number 1 issue in singing, but for some reason I STILL can’t get proper resonance. All of my other vowels are loud and powerful, but my ee and oo are hit or miss. I’ve recently tried slipping into a more nasal placement and that works most of the time, but it’s a very weak sound that’s prone to voice cracks on ANY vowel and it’s very quiet. I’m not sure if you could shed light on this considering you already made a video on it, but any advice would help tremendously
Hmm...if you're having trouble with placing the sound more nasal try this video: ruclips.net/video/uAKZ-s96978/видео.html
I much prefer the intros with you singing improv!
:)
Hi. For me, it's the opposite. I can sing the ee and oos just fine but I go into falsetto when I sing vowels like a or o or u. Anyone can help?
I'm still really struggling to create the proper sound with my tongue remaining neutral. What else can i do?
Have you joined my free course in the video description yet? Learning how to focus on support and resonance is the first step to releasing tension in your tongue and letting it be neutral. :)
I'm trying the EE thing and I don't think I get it. Are you like curling the front of your tongue and keeping everything else normal?
How to sing like Chris Harms from Lord Of The Lost?
inhalare la voce?
Maybe a Steven Styler video?
please do david draiman of disturbed or sully erna of godsmack next!!!!!!!!!!!
Sully Erna's neck is going crazy when he sings. But it doesn't actually sound like tension. It's weird. Good idea man.
Hey Chris! I have a question. Why do brits sing in american accent?)
British accents are associated with specific British styles like Indy (think arctic monkeys...), old punk and shit like that. A lot of us brits think English accents sound dumb in music and those styles aren’t for everyone. Most of the music and movies we are exposed to are American so there could be that.

How to sing like Jonathan Davis next time!!!
You mention Ken Tamplin in this video. He's a fantastic singer, but I don't like his teaching method at all. I've seen his vocal course, and it's not nearly as thoughtful or insightful as your free youtube videos.
He puts too much focus in the wrong things. The only thing that was helpful was the idea of open-throat singing. You don't need to study vowel modifications for higher notes in my opinion. They pretty much come naturally as long as you're singing with proper forward resonance, diaphragmatic support, and compression - yet he dedicates so much of his course to them.
And his course is so scale-heavy. Scales have only hurt my progress in the past. His whole course is so mechanical and thoughtless.
Guess different things work for different people depending on where they're at and what they're doing correctly and incorrectly. Vowel modifications were quite significant for me. I guess the key is to understand where you're at and what you need in that point of time. And that changes as you move forward with your learning.
Good point!!
@@junaidesse Yeah, his method has worked for hundreds (maybe thousands) of people! But it just wasn't best for me :)
