Here's a guy that can do it all! Phil Anselmo delivers memorable melodies and hooks, screams high and low with the best of them, and has an incredible range based on a powerful mixed voice! When passively listening to Phil's vocals, it's just plain awesome. Then, when you try and analyze what he's doing, it can initially be intimidating.
BUT, if you look and listen in the right places and with the right mindset, you can pull some great gems out that'll provide an approachable perspective for your own singing!
Let's dive into key passages from Pantera's catalogue and explore mixed voice, tone versatility, screaming, distortion, grit and hyper compression!!
Chris: This is NOT about imitation!
Me: but i wanna sound like ...
Phil screams: YOU CAN'T BE SOMETHING YOU'RE NOT.
Me: ok :(
Just BE YOURSELF.

maffoo o STAY AWAY FROM ME
@@unknownzz405 A lesson learned in life.
@@user-oy7gz5bf2h known from the dawn of time
Trying to scream for about one year and strugling.
Phil: Can't you see i'm easily bothered by persistence?
If you cant do a falce cord scream try fry scream.. It worked for me haha
@@adisvilic8077 same here can’t get highs tho
I literally think that Cemetery Gates is the best song ever recorded. It has everything that you would ever want in a song. Whatever Phil was doing that day, everything just worked out perfectly. I really do not think there will ever be anything that compares to Pantera.
Pantera is one of the most influential bands to come out of the 90's, we will never see a band like that again for another 100 years most likely lmao, Phils vocals, Dimes guitar (imo the best guitar sound ever made), Vinnies equally as influential drum sound and the heaviness of Rex's bass, there's no way any band will ever be as close to that for like I said another century. Metal will always be alive, it just evolves and adapts. Pantera will always be one of my favourite bands no matter what else comes around. My kids are gonna defo know about pantera that's for sure.
Not the best tho
@@aaravheroraina729 yes they are
And Pantera is the best band ever created in my opinion
101 proof live version is my favorite. I wish they’d rerecord it the way they played it in that live performance
Phil is someone who I think anyone who wants to be a metal vocalist can learn something from.
But i think only by knowning really phil.
Including First Power metal album (1988)
thats where he came from and all his craft for the future and versatility he had since day 1 he use .
I've listened to this band forever. Took me YEARS to realize how good Phil really was, his showmanship is so on point and the songs are so good you can easily miss the musicianship if you don't pay attention.
Totally agree!!
Have you heard his other bands?
It would be cool if you could interview these artists and talk about vocal techniques.
IT WOULD BE COOL!!!
@@chrisliepe I hope one day you can do something like that. Would be awesome
Phil probably wouldn't be that difficult to get ahold of for an interview. He comes across as pretty genuine and down to earth now that he's gotten his life cleaned up.
I used to think: clean singing is clean singing and compressed vocals are distorted... Thanks to you now I know that you can actually compress voice for a tasty compressed clean. I've never tried that before, it sounds like a personal revelation for me. Thank you so much.
Dude. This is crazy. Phil make this sounds so "easy". Seems natural to him. Nice tutorial. 🎶
Great. Now I just have to figure out how to practice this without my neighbours thinking I'm killing pigs in my bathroom 🤣🤣🤣🤣
hehe
This was really impressive, Chris. I bet you've already been asked a thousand times for Mike Patton, that would be really great to see.
Yes please! Bring on some Mike Patton
Yes Mike Patton would be imsane
Yes! Faith no more!
Mike Patton, please.
YES FINALLY! Oh I've been waiting for this one, you're the best Chris!
phil did it all from bass to tenor with techniques from all over the place, while maintaining, improving, evolving, and being extremely honest and not giving a fuck about general man's opinion calling out society for shit while doing a show in some random ass pijama shorts
Finally, our prays were heard.
Excellent video and perfectly explained.
I always had Phil in one of the most talented singers, but now I realised that is a little more complicated than I thought, and that amazes me.
Keep it up, Chris!
Hello Chris. I've been studying singing for 7 years and just now I'm getting this kind of stuff right. And the reality is that you have it right, except that people like Anselmo and Russell Allen play a ton with... My English is not good enough to express this... They project their voice, with the same technique you are applying, a little bit inwards, opening the throat, taking the soft palate up, playing with pitch all the time and sometimes even more than notes, and all the time leveling the nose. If you do that cracked head voice and apply those things you will feel how more air goes through and that is a much more similar sound. As always, loved the vid. Have a good one👍
Thank you so much, Chris! I need to watch this several and several times !!
Love your videos Chris, happy a new year 🎉
Yeesss I’ve been waiting for this one!! Thank you Chris :)
Oh my god! I was looking everywhere for one like this and of course, my man Chris pulls through!
You fulfil my dream, I've been waiting for this a long time!
Thank you so much Chris!
Phil is one of my favorite vocalists, thank you for this video
Phil's my favourite singer. Very glad to have a chance to watch this.
I never clicked the notification this fast
Deeper voice is vital to Phil's style, I sing myself in Metal & Punk
Agreed!
I was waiting anxiously for this video. Thanks, man.
Wow...you’re a serious inspiration on me. Keep up the amazing work, Chris, you’re the best singing instructor on RUclips.
Thanks!
Really working on my mixed voice and I was able to get pretty close to Phil's E5 after about 3 times of watching this and practicing, this is awesome. Going to keep pushing it see if I can hit that G# next. I love your videos Chris, you're just awesome and interesting to watch, I'm never bored or want to skip anything in your videos. Thanks for all the great content
You're so welcome!
Uh nice video dude! I've always waited for this one. I really appreciated it. Keep rocking man!
The fact that you can hear exactly what singers do and peel back the mix, the effects, doubling and whatever else they use , is amazing. Add the detailed descriptions on how to do it, that makes you super cool in my book!
So glad you enjoy the process :) I certainly enjoy making the videos and learning from these singers... The most fascinating and fun thing I get to do!
It goes with the concept of getting it right at the source - if you can nail it, even before the recording phase, then anything in the mixing and using FX phase will only compliment it!
(If done correctly, of course.)
If you -rely- on the FX and "fix it in the mix" is your motto, then that is definitely the wrong approach.
Finally video about the guy who inspired me to become a vocalist!
Love all your vids, Chris! Been waiting a long time for this one. So cool how you were able to identify and break down all of those little "-isms" of Phil's. Distortion over deeper and lower notes is something I'm very interested to hear you cover more of
Oh my goodness!!! This day arrived!!!! Chris is definately STRONGER THAN ALL!!!STRONGER THAN ALL!!!
Very informative & cool video. Man you really held your own on “I’m broken” especially considering how hard Phil’s vocals are compressed via FX compression.
To add to your point about not being that loud: I’d heard from a studio engineer (on RUclips, I don’t know him) who worked on Far Beyond Driven and he mentioned how Phil was never “that loud.” Without going into specifics he also mentioned some recording trickery to help push his vocals over the edge as it were.
Do you know how long I've been waiting for a video with that title. Phil is my god.
Thank you very much! Amazing video. Can't wait for the James Labrie video!
Great video as always Chris, keep rockin' ! Cheers
Great video as always, thanks Chris
You should 100% do a Chris Motionless tutorial. He’s my favorite vocalist
All right, I'm gonna be listening to pantera for the next week straight. My god I'd forgotten. Thank you for the tips
This is great! Been doing vocals in a hardcore band for about 4 years now and still having a hard time grasping how to compress my voice like this. I blow out my vocals when we record all the time. There's not a lot of stuff on RUclips to help learn these types of vacals
How exactly do you blow out vocals? I've never heard the term so i wonder
This is so interesting. I knew The Kid was an amazing singer and performer, but I didn't realize just how complicated it is and how intentional he's got to be to get those qualities to his sound. You definitely know it's Phil when you hear him!
Yes!!
Say what you want - Phil is the King of phrasing … even the screams growls and squeals actually groove like it should with that band in the back. That’s what new bands fuck up as they don’t groove and overdo growl and scream thinking this makes it aggressiv … and so Phil stays unmatched
Thx for the vidéo! I am a screamer but I am working on mixing singing into my screams and you tottaly helped me. 👌
This is the most interesting phil lesson i've seen (and i've been looking) you get into it and show examples with no fear. I just watched ken tamplin giving a "lesson" about phil and he didnt sing a line he just processed the song with reverb or something and said it was better.....for shame. Good job for the actual lesson!!!!
This is amazing, you are incredible and this was the best vocal lesson that I ever watched.
I singed a lot in my school choir, and musical college... but never got the confidence to call myself a singer. I would always hide myself behind the guitar, so I could sing and play poorly and call it a day.
This gonna sound cheesy, but your channel is giving me everything I need to finally fullfill my dream of being the lead singer of my band (that I don't have yet).
Doing the heaven's work, much love from Brazil
Absolutely amazing. Phil is one of those few underrated metal singers that everybody's like "Hah, I can do that, I can sing like him no problem", then you say "please do" and after 5 seconds you just burst out laughing because they sound like crap lol. But you're right. We can definitely take his techniques and apply on our own voices. Great video as always! Cheers
The reason is Phil was from the Rob halford school First .
So all his mechanism he use , breath support and stuff , it comes from there
Except CFh , I highly recommand People to Listen Power metal (1988) to see where he came from
Imitators of Phil are just taking thz hardcore screaming .
But when it comes to certain CFH , Vulgar and Reinventing the steel , they re out .
Because , you have to have Range , breath support and pitch ...
So when it comes to power metal.
Forget it haha
@@Nissardpertugiu never thought about that but you're right. His "vocal basics" were founded and shaped by Power Metal, not Groove/Thrash. Well put mate
He meant the album, not the genre...
@@mvrcguitar it was tthe genre though then .
Back then Power metal was that in between the 70's / early 80's metal heritage and more thrashier edge .
Too flexible for thrash , too extreme for " traditional " heavy metal .
It wasnt the power metal with Yngwie Malmsteen clones and pussies cleans melo sympho vocals Later .
Power metal , Pantera , Riot , Sanctuary , Metal church , Vicious rumors etc...
Man Phil is one of my favourite singers ever. Chris have you heard his new project En Minor? Awesome stuff. Lots of killer lows. Thanks man.
will have to check that out!
@@chrisliepe ruclips.net/video/O1nrL4XSRDY/видео.html Lots of first octave stuff going on.
Ieiiii you did it!!!! First time I comment on a video before watching it haha youre pure gold
Excellent Video Chris thanks
Yeaaahhh Phil one of my fave vocalis🤘
one of the coolest flexes is i can sing the end of cemetery higher than phill :)
I’ve wanted this forever
Your vocal experimenting would make the most hilarious soundboard prank calls. You would be a legend!
that’s why he’s so good, he’s not afraid to take his voice into weird places that might sound awkward. That’s what so many beginner singers have trouble learning how to get good, they get scared of sounding weird
Yessss!!! I was hoping that you would do a video about Phil Anselmo some day. I couldn’t click on the link fast enough when I got your email today. Thank you so much!
You're welcome!!
Lmao i just got an ad for your channel 😂😂😂 ON THIS EXACT VIDEO. I heard the intro twice and was like “hold up”
“Pretty Gutteral” around 28:45, that’s a golden soundbite!
This video is so awesome and helpful
Hi Chris, Great Video again, Phil is an amazing singer, clean, low, high and brutal screams, Thanks for making this one!
Suggestions would be Sebastian Bach (Skid Row (Quicksad Jesus, most amazing scream to the outro guitar solo) and his solo CD Angel Down (that song has amazing vocals and screams). Sebastian is the king of clean and distortion vocals, would love to see an indept video about him and discover how his voice works, to be putting it more into my own voice
I've been singing for heavy rock bands for over 20 years and have to say I've made more progress in the last year once I discovered your channel than I have in decades. Mainly in regards to learning to use mixed voice to reach notes I thought were out of my range, as well as true pitch screaming (something I was told before was harmful to your voice). Another great video here! One I'd like to see would be Björn Strid from Soilwork. Listening to the high and aggressive notes he hits on the chorus of a song like "Sick Heart River" seems right in line with the techniques you demonstrate.
So glad you've gotten benefit from the channel. Thanks for sharing! ...And for the suggestion!
"Internalise the Feels that happen" Wow!
Omg my favorite singer! I love you pelado gracias por el video thanks so much!
Wow a video for anselmo, LOVE IT!
Phil Anselmo is love ❤️❤️
Thanks for the information
"Don't even get me started on the end of Cemetery Gates" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😅 YOU GOT THIS CHRIS
Thanks Chris
🥳 thank you for editing and uploading this ✊💝🙏
Edit: Ivan Moody of Five Finger Death Punch 🥊
I think i’ve said it before and i’ll totally say it again. Joe Duplantier! Utterly unique melodic screams.
Hello! Today I found your channel and now I’m so excited! I tried to learn how to scream for four years but nothing worked. The methods I learned were painful and absolutely useless. And now, after your video «How to Scream, Add Distortion, Yell and Sing Aggressively WITHOUT Hurting Your Voice!» , I can finally scream.
I would like to ask if you could make a video about Maria Brink's vocals (band «In This Moment») from her earlier albums like «Blood» and «A Star-Crossed Wasteland». She has an interesting scream that, as I heard, is based on the whistle register. So, it would be great if you made a video about her.
Thank you.
…
(sorry if there are mistakes in the text, I’m not a native English speaker)
And lastly. I bet 100% Phil just does this without thinking. It’s what makes him great
Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks for this video about one of my few idols :) :) :)!!!!!
Sometimes I wish I could pitch as loud as I can, but at home is impossible, I need to find a small Studio... Keep it up with the great stuff Chris!!
Sing in your car
YESSSSS!! Hell yea thank u
@Chris Liepe I'm always keeping up this channel! Always glad with your lessons! I'd ask you to make one showing how to sing like Ivan Moody from Five Finger Death Punch using songs like "A little bit off", "Wrong side of heaven", "Wicked Ways", "Wash it all away", "Jekyll & Hyde", "The way of the fist"; and other showing how to sing like David Draiman from Disturbed using songs like "Are You Ready?", "A reason to fight", "Hold on to memories", "The vengeful one", "The animal", "The night", etc. Anyway... I already saved the page of your free vocal course... I wish you success with this channel...
Niceeee!!!
After CFH he stopped trying to hit those notes and I think by 92 into 94 into 2000-2001 he really wanted to stray away from that early sound and get more of a gutteral sound. that early 89-90 Phil was Rob Hartford Judas Priest sounding he's voice was definitely lighter back then,
If you ever have the privilege to listen to Ozzy with Sabbath on the album Sabotage. Ozzy at peak ferociousness
Make one on Ivan Moody from Five Finger Death Punch. Incredible power in both clean singing and screams, beatiful low pitched tone, I think there's a lot of interesting stuff anout him and in some cases it's different from all singers you've done before.
I too requested Ivan Moody but, Ivan says Phil Anselmo was a great singing influence for him, would Ivan Moody be **that** **different** from this Phil Anselmo upload?
They sound similar af ( especially, Pantera, rather than Down ) but idk.
Ok nm; Ivan may be **slightly** different:

Oh HELL YEAAAAHHHH
nice
Great video as always Chris. I would love to see you do Keith from Every Time I Die or Jesse/Howard from Killswitch Engage!!
I'm surely not the first person to say this, but your scream sounds exactly like Jens Kidman from Meshuggah on the video from the Chaosphere sessions
I most definitely was engaging my fry vocals not my false chords
Great lesson! Please consider a video for joe duplantier of gojira and/or billy corgan!!
So THAT'S how he does it. Great video Chris! Think you could make How to sing like Jonny Craig? Would be cool to see you dissect his style
The metal grasshopper dude already has got this down😩🔥
0.o literally I was searching a tutorial to sing walk haha
I don't know if anyone's suggested this before, but Fair To Midland's vocalist is just phenomenal, a reaction to the song Musical Chairs would be a great video!
Never heard of them so just checked it out. Good stuff! Why I always read comments.
The world desperately needs a metal/metalcore cover album exclusively with False Cord Chris
At around the 8 minute mark when you start talking about his high range screams, they sound more to me like that flourish that soul singers do than what you describe. Trying to replicate it, it kinda feels like a high pitched growl (is that a False Cord Technique?) as opposed to a vocal break.
The vocal break technique does use the false cords as well. Just slightly different resonance
Thanks for sharing this, giving insight on this amazing/beasty singer... And for the Robert de Niro moment, i.e., "are you talking to me?" moment. 😉 When I listen "are you talking to me?" Robert de Niro comes to my mind, jejeje...
i would love to see a how to sing like hansi kurshe from blind guardian. it amazes me how easy it is to understand these things when you explain them
Great work man... But I must say it is fascinating to listen to you at 3AM while my mom is next door sleepin(I'm 15 that's why my mom is next door)
But ey thank you for making the video
Hi, Chris, here's a random question: do you feel like weightlifting has negative impact on vocal box tightness? Personally, after a heavy workout, I feel my voice tighten up a lot; and if I have some vocal practice later, I need to spend at least 20-30 minutes to "uncork" the voice. I've gotten rather decent with distorted singing, but typically can't produce a good relaxed distortion out of the blue without a warmup beforehand. On the other hand, during the weekend, when I practice 2 days in row and don't lift in between, I find that the "readiness" of the voice carries over from Saturday to Sunday. Can you relate?
Honestly, I feel like weight lifting (with the right mindset) has been a HUGE help to my body awareness, the ability to release tension, and the ability to focus my mind where it needs to be to get the right sensations. But you have to do it in the right way or it absolutely can work against you. I think I may actually do a full course on it for the spring... cause a lot of people have asked about this very thing.
Will you do David Draiman of Disturbed please?
Chris, so how would you explain Chester's 17 scream on given up?
Phil Anselmo... the true 🐐
One of my favorite vocalist, BUT SENSEI CHRIS! The suspense for the Jonathan Davis video is killing me!
Haha!! :)
A Daniel Gildenlow video would be nice, he uses the "break" in his voice to achieve distortion very clearly in the song "Used"
Thank you for sharing. Phil has a great voice...a little complicated tho.
Chris Cornell is my favorite vocalist, I can't wait to watch all of your vids!
Dax Riggs has a great voice as well. His songs Night is the Notion and Like Moonlight are 2 amazing songs.
Riggs vocals seem to have alot of versatility and range.
He has been in alot of bands over last 25 years but his solo work is awesome.
Also Travis Meeks of band Days Of the New ....another amazing vocalist!
Has anyone ever asked you how to sing like Peter Steele of Type O Negative ? A low baritone for sure lol.
Sister Ash...
Hope you've bought your DOWN ticket ma girl. Here we go! 🤣🤣❌❌❌
Fantastic video! Could you please do one for Randy Blythe (Lamb of God)?
Heck ya that would be freakin awesome
i just go staright into fry screaming
