True, I like it so much 🥹 And it's little bit difficulty sometimes to understand all because I'm from Ukraine and my English not good. But I understand most things 😊 One of the best vocal coaches I found 🙆🏻♂️ But I can't remember any better 🤷🏻♂️😀
20 years ago I had no idea what I really sounded like until I recorded in a studio. Now with the home gear you can get, I can work on my vocals. Wish I had this 20 years ago.
Making your tone dynamic is a game changer. I hated the way I sound, but once I realized this, at least it gave me hope, and I sound much better. Thank you for teaching such things!
This is great Chris! Your advice about recording yourself EVERY TIME you sing is spot. I began doing this recently and it makes a world of difference. I was in the same category of not liking how my voice sounds on a recording! It was not always the case, when I sing original stuff I can usually get it to where I want it to be but when singing covers (which I do for warm up and practice) those sound just disgusting. So I began recording my practices and I am begining to hear some elements in my voice that I like, so I begin to lean into those and this is helping me to develop a more unique tone and style. Overall you recent videos on things like sounding boring, being off pitch etc are very helpful! Thank you as always!
this is so helpful for understanding consciously what i'm doing with my voice when i sing. i can do much of this 'instinctively' but can't really explain what i'm doing when it's pointed out, or always do it consciously if a song calls for it. thank you so much for giving me a vocabulary here and for helping me better observe my own tone! (also, for your fucking awesome vocals on this cranberries cover! dolores o'riordan would have loved this :D)
LOVE THIS CHRIS. Love your lower range. These are some of the sounds and crafting skills I've been wanting to develop. What brilliant ways to use breath. Bouncing, tone shaping - awesome. At 13.19 WOW. So much to study and learn here. The visuals are really helpful. You're so generous in sharing such quality material Chris. You are impressive. Thankyou.
Re: having headphones and a mic - one of the things about my singing that always seemed odd is that I much prefer my voice when I record with a video camera to that when I'm singing in 'decent' mics.
Singing into a room disperses the sound waves’ vibrations, but compressed into a mic 🎙 every scattering note coming off the vocal cords is picked up and sometimes recorded to a close but not intended note. And some mics will flatten the waves. You know. But I have to say, your demo at the start was impressive. It’s time for me to challenge myself vocally more, and so like the saying goes, “When the student is ready, the teacher appears.”
Amazing video! These are priceless tips on developing a good tone. Thank you so much Chris for these treasures you share in your coaching and demonstrations alike.
I’m new, and absolutely love these videos. Cant get enough! I’ve been singing for years and after a couple videos, had my mind blown that I could actually sing about 3-4 whole steps higher than I realized, and with a more powerful tone. I need to dial in much more control with this newfound range, but WOW! Thanks Chris.
One of the main takeaways is the "Get used to what your voice sounds like". Everyone on the planet hates, or at least cringes, when they hear their voice played back. "Is that what I sound like?" has happened to everyone.
Hey, Chris! I have a problem. The thing is that I hate my voice type (I’m a baritone). Most singers I love and try to sing along to are tenors and that just depresses me. I know I can learn to hit all those high notes if I practice enough but the timbre won’t be the same nor will it sound effortless, well you know that. I always feel like singing is like playing a guitar solo but what if your guitar only has three lowest strings? That solo must be boring as hell! I’m trying to embrace my own voice but it’s just really really sad haha
I believe I know exactly everything you described. I can virtually feel it even, in my throat. From singing so many artists, hearing what they do, I can hear all those things in songs and my own singing. I think in doing that and having good vocal control, if you FEEL what you're singing, do it with emotion, this will just come. My issue is sounding thin. And I like your version of this so damn much better. I cannot STAND that chick's vocal style. You make it listenable.
So helpful and insightful, thanks man you've really helped a lot, I started doing this a couple of months ago and it's already paying off massively. Huge fan and massive Cornell fan here too! Him and Chester give me voice envy!
I agree that recording yourself really does help. I remember when I first recorded myself I was like "Oh god. I knew I was bad but not this bad!" I have slightly improved since, but still a working progress. i also keep my recordings to reference back to if I get too discouraged.
Hi Chris , it is so wonderful to stumble across your u tube. I am self teaching myself to sing . I ve been told i sound awful in singing at a young age thus never sang until recently . My challenge was nasality ,hoarseness , shortness of breath and cracking . After watching a few coach in u tube I am improving and sounding only ok . But I am lacking the beautiful tone in recording especially in Whitney Houston s song I have nothing . I almost gave up singing coz so tiring to improve my tone . Two days ago i started crafting line per line and noticed a slight improvement and just discovered you today that it called Crafting your tone. I felt reassured thats how you do it. Yes i also found few days ago too by lightening certain parts and bouncing and light vibrators does make the song sound much better . I ‘ m practising on a a budget karoake microphone . I’ m not sure what microphone to buy or equipments to help . Plus I am recording into my I phone . Thanks you are giving me hope and encouragement.
Hi. Ive have just seen your comment, how are you doing? Im starting my singing adventure and have same problems as you. Is it possible to achieve perfection? My mum used to laugh at me singing when I was a Child..
@@wera6880 yes you can achieve significant improvement with lots of practice to the point where you listen to your voice and say whoa i can enjoy my voice now . I also find this u tuber helped me alot also Healthy Vocal Tecnique -Victoria Victorios Vocal Tips. Once you mastered the basics you can steer your voice to the way you wish to sound . It is important you record your pure voice and then with a microphone , coz it sound slightly different . Then you adjust to the way you like it to sound . Hopefully it makes sense.
This is a great topic!!! I think you CAN get closer to how you sound to yourself/the richness & resonance you hear in the room/from your own chest by using the right mic and EQ. I despise condenser mics specifically bc the ones I've tried completely remove the warmth and resonance I hear/feel. I currently use a ribbon mic (comes with its own room sound challenges, etc obviously), or an SM57 "drum" mic and think those are superior for my alto/soprano to keep that richness and resonance.
Absolutely great channel and great teacher, working with all the tips and methods Chris shows in his videos i saw improvements week after week. Thanks Chris
I think a good point that you could point out . is that even if people don't follow your youtube lessons per say , just by watching them and making and making somewhat of a habbit of it , that it will introduce you into this sort of subconcious ..more confident idea of engineering your voice , rather than shutting down phisically and emotionally when you hear yourself sounding .. a bit embarresing ... that's how it works for me anyway , im a lil drunk but i hope i described that in a way wich is somewhat comprehensible
Awesome video man. Slightly off topic question: That looks like a Mojave MA-200 mic. If it is, how do you like it. I'm thinking about getting one for a primary vocal mic (melodic hip hop and trap kinda stuff).
I feel like singing is very very psychological. The fact that I think I can't sing like at all is probably the only thing holding me back. I mean I'm trying but idk what to do here
Having worked with a lot of singers I can attest that one of the things to 'being a singer' is believing you can sing and need to reach people with your song. From there it's technique and practice.
Dude it is. Relax. Have fun. yawn, loosen up that larynx and mess around. If you're feeling insecure....you'll sound uptight and insecure. What's helped me 100% is focusing in enjoying singing. My warm up basically starts like meditating. I relax everything...take in a good old singers diaphragm breath then sing...if you can't do that relaxed, maybe try the above and just hmmmm until you can open up into a good old Ahhhhhh? If you're feeling insecure you probably have some good lyrics swimming in those thoughts..use em.
As you gain better voice control does playing with the tone and going lighter vs heavier get a lot easier? Because what I hear as you break your vocals down is a lot more control than I am capable of at this point lol!
Yes. Control and agility absolutely comes from continued and free experimentation. It seems like a a chicken or the egg thing but it’s really not. You become more controlled when you pursue the opposite haha
@@chrisliepe I apologize I wasn't very specific. I was speaking primarily in terms of abdominal control to be able to control your airflow. I think you pretty much explained it though lol. TY!
Great lesson. One of issues i struggle with at times, is my piano style, and how the rhythmic syncopation between my left and right hand, can limit how much rhythmic syncopation, ie rhythmic freedom, i have in my voice. Im always hoping to craft that third degree of syncopation. Apparently, there must be limits, that someone like sting overcomes. Maybe its attention? How much i can hear the parts? So... How do you think about this, when your entire performance is just your voice, while playing an instrument? And yeah, i do that thing where you play on the beats, and weave a vocal melody around that structure. Thanks
thanks lord. i tried my dark voice, but i found reflection filter was the problem. reflection filter gets rid of all the high pitch sound from the nose. beware of that dark minions
intensely listening to the tones within with one hand on the left ear collecting the sounds from my other hand that is directing the sounds from my mouth.
But I wouldn’t know where to even start tuning a breath let down. 😅 Thanks for pointing out what you’re doing in your performance, I’m starting to see that these things make a big difference.
Chris, random technique question. Some of the 50s guys like Buddy Holly and Little Richard almost have a chirp in their voice. The guy in The Cramps does this too. Can you teach this? It's bizzare and awesome.
I watched a video earlier saying that the soft palate should be raised and not lowered by another RUclipsr called singing Sensei. You've been teaching nasal resonance where we have it lowered to send enough air flow through the nose. I feel like they are opposites so which one should be focus on. Also, do we focus on having the same feeling in singing as we do in an exercise or should we not worry about that when we singing. E.g. mm mah then trying to sing with the same resonance and feeling in the mah part.
I have to ask, so I have several different registers and all of them sound better for different genres but is there some way to integrate those to where you can tell its all me? Bc it seems like I'm limited in my range depending on register for didferent styles. I don't know if that's normal or not lol but I had to ask
@@chrisliepe yes I have, but I'm only at the parts now that you have to pay for and I'm kinda looking for stable employment rn 😅 (although I really just want to make MUSIC my employment 😭)
Serious question: Where are you hiding the mic in my house? Was just talking frustratedly with my wife about how my vocal takes sound monotone and boring, up pops this video. Amazing as always, thank you.
@@chrisliepe Can i still make professional records with good mix and master right? My budget is 1500 Euro, i was thinking in getting th mojave 201 and the Antelope Zen Go Interface. Whats your opinion?
What about when the literal tone of your voice is grating though...not nasally just weird and unpleasant? I know there's a voice in me somewhere but my tone of voice lets me down
It's a good start! But if you really want to sing well... invest in an entry level real recording setup! Check out my free recording course in the video info to get started with that!
What a great video !! Awesome like always Can I ask a question ? Everyone including me has a dream about being an artist (in rock and metal ) me myself I am living in a country that these kind of things are banned . And now I'm 18 and I decided to take some classes for my vocals for next year maybe ...but about age ..do you think it's late ? I mean lots of stars were musicians since their childhoods ..and I don't even know about the music ..I mean notes and etc . And I don't know how to play any instruments yet and I can't afford it but I can do smth about the class .. Do you think it's late for me ? .. should I focus on something else ? Is age involved ?
It's never too late! The key is that you focus on experience and introspection with your voice and not on simply learning skills!! It doesn't matter that you don't play an instrument, but learning an instrument at the same time is FUN and will help in some ways! Have you joined my free course yet?
So I've started writing music and I have really found that when I'm not playing I can find a melody I like that goes with the music I've wrote but when I do the two together it's like I've gone tone deaf any tips?
And Shane DJ at karaoke is thumb ups and cutting back reverb forcing me to expand that helps too singing in a whisper is very good for regulating volume of my voice and when I hear that I'm over volume ratio to music I have him bump music volume and then I back down my volume BOUNCY IS IMPORTANT SHANE IS ALWAYS SNAPPING FINGERS TO SIGNAL TO "" BOUNCY"" LOL
Man, you are in my top teachers on youtube, everything you teach,it really works! Thank you! By the way, I'm from Brazil 🇧🇷 not that is important, but i think I'm the only one here from there haha
My small bathroom under staircase has GREAT ACOUSTICS LOL and I have a $ 20 bluetooth karaoke boom box has got me pretty close but I will now record my self with my voice recorder for notation of self messages NASAL IS GOOD!!
haha... It's not that repeatable unless I go back and listen to what I did over and over again and learn it. But I do that often. Come up with an idea, do it poorly a bunch of times, then get it into my voice and then 'do it for real'
Hi Chris. I love your Channel. I have a question. I'm bass. My lowest chest note is A1, lowest froggy is H0. My highest chest is C4. Higher I can sing head voice only. So can I sing higher in chest or mix or this is just natural for my voice type? Take care ;)
But CHRIS, I *hate* listening to myself on tape lmao. I've been told I'm a good singer and have made a passion of it... but I hear myself on tape and think I've been lied to and should never sing again.
Have you heard the band “Termina”? Their singer is an absolute beast, and they just dropped their first album. Also, I’m not sure why, but you seem like a Christian. Are you?
Probably the only RUclips vocal coach that has something new and golden in every video. All of that for free....
So glad you love what I'm doing!
And his free vocal course is absolutely nuts amazing.
Paid content, even better, exponentially, it’s wild man. Golden coach
@@jvince001 his courses have helped me so much. The best vocal teacher I've come across for sure.
Probably the only RUclips vocal coach
True, I like it so much 🥹 And it's little bit difficulty sometimes to understand all because I'm from Ukraine and my English not good. But I understand most things 😊 One of the best vocal coaches I found 🙆🏻♂️ But I can't remember any better 🤷🏻♂️😀
you have no right to be this musically talented AND have those biceps
haha!
Do I have to have biceps and muscle definition as good as this to sing better? Is this what I've been missing?
@@goodmaggie Not, it is not enough... You also have to be at least as bald!!
Vocal coaches nowadays tend to be ripped and bald lmaoooo
I still want to know how much he can bench...I'm guessing like 300lbs.
Me in my car: not bad
Me in an echoey room: pretty good
Me recording: OH NO
Yep! Very common... Make your recording space the place where you sing the MOST and that'll change way for the better over time!

Brilliant observations and suggestions. God continue to bless you for giving such excellent instruction.
Glad it was helpful!
You’re cool man, what a big help.
You often have some really good advice 🖤
Why does it seem to me that I sound better live than recorded?
Because you have not taken the step to regularly record yourself and develop your 'recorded character'. This is KEY
Ok. I will start practicing and performing with a recorder from now on. Thanks.
These videos are absolutely fantastic! So glad I found Chris's channel his way of teaching is superb and making it so easy to relate to. Thank you 🙏

I mean lots of stars were musicians since their childhoods ..and I don't even know about the music ..I mean notes and etc .
And I don't know how to play any instruments yet and I can't afford it but I can do smth about the class ..
Do you think it's late for me ? .. should I focus on something else ? Is age involved ?
It's never too late! The key is that you focus on experience and introspection with your voice and not on simply learning skills!! It doesn't matter that you don't play an instrument, but learning an instrument at the same time is FUN and will help in some ways! Have you joined my free course yet?
@@chrisliepe thank you so much ❤ yes of course I did and it's awesome
So I've started writing music and I have really found that when I'm not playing I can find a melody I like that goes with the music I've wrote but when I do the two together it's like I've gone tone deaf any tips?
And Shane DJ at karaoke is thumb ups and cutting back reverb forcing me to expand that helps too singing in a whisper is very good for regulating volume of my voice and when I hear that I'm over volume ratio to music I have him bump music volume and then I back down my volume BOUNCY IS IMPORTANT SHANE IS ALWAYS SNAPPING FINGERS TO SIGNAL TO "" BOUNCY"" LOL
My vocals sound too dry and I'm trying to fix My vocals
Man, you are in my top teachers on youtube, everything you teach,it really works! Thank you! By the way, I'm from Brazil 🇧🇷 not that is important, but i think I'm the only one here from there haha
No you're not alone bro 🇧🇷

Is a phone recording of your voice enough to analyse with?
Totally fine!
Thanks man also great video
Do you have a video on how to do that “false chord” scream as you call it, at the end of the track?
I hate my voice no matter what I do, how do I reroll my vocal chords
My small bathroom under staircase has GREAT ACOUSTICS LOL and I have a $ 20 bluetooth karaoke boom box has got me pretty close but I will now record my self with my voice recorder for notation of self messages NASAL IS GOOD!!
Hey Chris,could you do a vocal analysis on Johannes Eckerström?,Singer of avatar,probably Colossus would be good
Please stop these “sing like” video requests. They are basically click bait and usually are not as valuable to singers as video like this one.
Do you just riff as you shift tone and texture or is it a fairly deliberate repeatable thing?
haha... It's not that repeatable unless I go back and listen to what I did over and over again and learn it. But I do that often. Come up with an idea, do it poorly a bunch of times, then get it into my voice and then 'do it for real'
@@chrisliepe thanks Chris
i´m about to practice that raspy belt, my neighbors are gonna love me
Hi Chris. I love your Channel. I have a question. I'm bass. My lowest chest note is A1, lowest froggy is H0. My highest chest is C4. Higher I can sing head voice only. So can I sing higher in chest or mix or this is just natural for my voice type? Take care ;)
This is a must watch for me😂
You ended up sounding like Jared Leto plus a bit of Buckley))
i had one question, should i buy mojave 201fet, or mojave ma-200(tube)? I cant decide...
200 Thank me later :)
@@chrisliepe But i would i still be able to record a professional song with the 201? Cuase the 200 is hella more expensive.
I use the app called "Smule Sing" as my practice platform, what is your thoughts on it?
I haven't used it. I'll check it out though!
@@chrisliepe Might be a good platform to advertise yourself as well, everyone there is trying to learn how to sing lol.
@@AR-me8tr I’ll take a look at, thanks for the recommendation.
Make a video of break down on aurora 'runaway ' song please please I really like her 🙄singing
yay all you have to do to get vibrato is be quiet!!!
But CHRIS, I *hate* listening to myself on tape lmao. I've been told I'm a good singer and have made a passion of it... but I hear myself on tape and think I've been lied to and should never sing again.
Gotta look for the good in it and record all the time with a mind for embracing what you like and changing what you’d like to change.
I 100% feel the same way
So good
Dude, you should really make the "Zombie" remake. That sounded awesome. Sorry for the off-topic.
I have! Look in my covers playlist!! :) full song is there!
Chris can you analyse morrissey of the smiths please
Have you heard the band “Termina”? Their singer is an absolute beast, and they just dropped their first album. Also, I’m not sure why, but you seem like a Christian. Are you?
I'll check it out! And... YES :)
Manu Ginobili is a vocal coach now?
