I'm Cristina, opera singer, speech pathologist singing teacher. I have spent over a decade in the music industry as a performer, and I’ve done some pretty cool things as an opera singer, film vocalist, lyricist and jazz singer.
Here you'll find videos that deep-dive into artists that you adore. We'll unpack what makes a great and not so great vocal performance, and we'll also get into some voice tips and education about the science of the voice.

Rewind, pause, replay and restart as much as you want. It's like getting bonus TOOL and I love getting bonus TOOL.
twss
Exactly these reactors apologize for rewinding and pausing to collect what they just heard and I'm over here like I've never finished Vicarious all the way through without rewinding at least twice. We're Tool fans and after all these years we are still as blown away as everyone else is.
@@brennanfry3768I get both sides cuz I want to hear it all the way through w\o the pause oh that was so jarring man I just started to get into it and pause 😡 😂 so idk maybe do that then play the entire thing so to get best of both worlds
“… I love Maynard James Keenan.”
Everyone’s eventual sentiment the more they listen to Tool and APC. I know I’ve been at least part of that club since I was a small child. Lol
Puscifer: Am I a joke to you
@@kingjames1308 lol haven’t listened yet. That’s why I spoke only of what I know. But I had a feeling these comments were coming. :P At the time I discovered Maynard, I believe these were the OG 2, so to me they are sort of the original gateways to loving him as a vocalist. I was born in the early ‘90s.
@@LePetitNuageGris def check them out. They are a little different vibe than Tool or APC but have some amazing tunes. The remedy, bullet train to iowa, humbling river, conditions of my parole are just a few bangers
@@kingjames1308 Thanks for the recommendations! I’ll look into it!
I'm more of a Puscifer fan.
Those isolated vocals are a trip. In the context of the song it sounds like he is putting more energy into it than he does.
Maynard has a way of making difficult sounds look stupidly easy.
You get an instant follow for the isolated vocals and the "I love Maynard James Keenan."
Great reaction!
Someone probably already said this in one of the comments of your Tool reaction videos but in case no one did: Maynard always writes his lyrics when the other three band members have finished the song. So he "sculptures" the lyrics and his singing/ performance style around the foundation the others give him (if that makes sense). That's also why most songs have a difference in the vocal style and performances aswell. On top of that his voice is actually treated like the fourth instrument which could be another reason for why he sounds a bit different in almost every song.
mjk slaps it on like decals at a sticker party
Wow, what an amazing analysis. I have seen many reaction videos of this song, but your reaction is very original and unique, this is why I love you reaction! If you like Danny, please try Pneuma, you must enjoy it.
Pneuma for Danny indeed, the Vic Firth drum cam video is insanity 👌
Please, don’t sto reacting to Tool, cause all your analysis are very educative to us!
@@timbertannin9884 i second this, it is indeed insanity!
Pneuma!¡! Please do it!!!
Great reaction Cristina, more tool, right in two, culling voices
Right in Two is one of my favorite Tool songs.
The effect during the bridge is a backwards reverb.
The lyrics and the delivery. Man. The way Maynard fits syllables like that is unbelievable.
That wooshing vocal sound is a classic tool trick of flipping the tape over and recoding reverb then flipping the tape back over and the reverb comes in before the vocal in reverse.
well, I wouldn't call it a Tool trick, its been a well known engineering trick since the 70s.
Preverb
This is one of my favorite "TOOL" videos, it's not easy to understand, but the message is BRUTAL!
"vicarious" by tool m/v
“The Well, that once gave life to Me,
Hath in the Drought of Love run dry.
The Desert’s Soul hath stole all Joy,
And taught the Very Muse to die.
Yet from this Cause of Vast Lament
Run tears - suffice all thirsts to quench:
Tears wept from Secret Pleasure’s Eye.”
- Andrew D. Chumbley
Excellent reaction to these wizards of sonics and lyrics!!! Made my day complete!
TOOL - Right in Two next. Amazing video!!! Can't wait for the next video
Someone has likely already pointed this out, but in case they didn't... Maynard comes in with his parts last. The rest of the band writes, does the arrangements and then records it. Once the tracking is done, they give it to Maynard and he writes his melodies and lyrics. So when you pointed out how the arrangement really emphasizes the "the whole world dies" section - you're right. But it was entirely Maynard that chose to hammer the lyrics that way. Their system works really, really well 😁
Great video! I always love to watch these and find out about the technical chops of the singers.
10,000 Days (Wings for Marie Pt 2) from this album is incredible.
Oh, I haven't heard wings... in ages. Now, tool marathon. 😂
Yeah that and right in two. Those two songs are amazing. But then again all the songs are haha
That sailboat in the background 😅😅
TOOL and Cristina, always a pleasure 😊👍
I love my Simpsons 😂 (early seasons only though 😉)
@@cristinamrusso oh yes! 😊 Up to season 10, then the downfall began slowly 😅 Nice detail to see there 😊
You are one of the only reactors besides Rick Beato that Isolates Maynard's vocals and it is so awesome to hear them Isolated. This is what makes you stand out and I am here for it!
Don't forget that Maynard adds the lyrics after the music is mostly finished. He fits the lyrics and his delivery to the music and I think that's the real magic from this band.
This was a fantastic reaction!! Looking forward to more Tool!!
Adam Jones, and Alex Grey do all the art. Adam worked on Jurrasic Park, and if I remember correctly, he also worked on Aliens. He's an incredible artist. Very talented man
Amazing breakdown of a song I've loved for a very long time, you even showed me new aspects to the song (isolation tracks and the close-mic whispering) that I never realized. Instant sub for me!
can anyone else hear in the drum fill "why can't we just admit it?"?
Is not only the drums... the guitar also does the "second" motive in 5/4... Mr. Maynard was a genius fitting the lyrics with the rithm
Your review was like a Tool song, 20 minutes felt like 5! I love hearing your take and analysis on TooL songs. I'm just a listener and know nothing about music and absolutely love this! Thank you! ❤
Who knew Emily Blunt was an amazing musician and digs TOOL....awesome
I am so flattered by this comparison (I get it a lot on here) but I don’t see it! 😂 thanks for watching 🙏🏼🥰
@@cristinamrusso And I don't mean it as an insult, but I don't see it either LOL
@@cristinamrusso From some angles, in some photos you do look quite a bit alike, but only in certain circumstances.
I'd say you remind me more of Chelsea Peretti if anything, but that might be just me being weird.
Doesn't really matter anyway, I'm here for your reaction and insights.
@@cristinamrusso It's really in the eyes and then the accent of course😊
to me she look like more Claire Clottir
I feel like i was late to Tool. When this album came out this song was on the radio and it was Danny's drumming that got me hooked!
Lol, if you were late I don't what to call myself. I discovered Tool in 2020 😂
Remember every detail of this album dropping. I was in a country, where the album would land a week later than the rest of the western world… in the days before the album was just there on RUclips… Torture at the time but happy days indeed.
take heart, tool is timeless ..."late" matters not.
I discovered too on Undertow,
You’re never late for Tool.
Welcome!

Yes, TθθL has big D energy.

@@soth1sol was going to make a similar reference.
Your reviews are THE most delightful. I really like how you don't try to interpret the lyrics too much. The focus on the WAY the lyrics are presented is more interesting than the lyrics. Also, thank you for not commenting on the video. I enjoy hearing a vocal coach focus on the vocals, rythym, melody, production, and the effect. A+ for your reactions!
Here 11 minutes after it drops. Early gang gang. This should be fun.
GREAT reaction Cristina! I love the isolated vocal analysis...yes, Maynard has a deep 'tool'box (sorry, just had to) of vocal colours at his disposal - and he uses it so effectively!
Indeed please continue down this rabbit hole - you will not be disappointed!
Danny Carey is known as The Octopus for a reason - his limb independence is unparalleled, as is his penchant for polyrhythms! One of my favourite drummers.
From the same album as this, Right In Two is an incredible track (with deep meaning!), others to check: Stinkfist, Aenema, Pneuma, Lateralus (pay attention to the vocal rhythm - it uses the Fibonaocci sequence), Parabol/Parabola, 7empest, Forty Six & 2....this will keep you going for a while! Cheers!
Aw! The whole vid I was anticipating Isolated vocal track for the "Vicariously, I. Live while the whole world dies." to hear that note MJ hit.
All ❤to Danny Carey.
This song is a perfect storm of high-energy metal goodness.
Wonderful reaction as always. As a layman, I really appreciate getting to hear a pros take on Tool. It is much appreciated. Suggestions for the next one, maybe Lateralus, Jimmy, or Reflection. Thanks, & Spiral Out!
I absolutely Love Tool, Perfect Circle and Pucifer of which Maynard sings in all three groups. The best music you listen to, your ears and mind will love it!
This song should’ve won that Grammy. It is truly a masterpiece.
Thank you for doing another Tool reaction, I really appreciate this level of deep dive into the music! The fact you single out Maynard's vocals is really cool! I wouldn't worry about stopping the song often, every Tool fan that stops by knows these songs better than they know their own families 😅
This video was 20 minutes long and felt like 5! What a great review.
Just discovered you, best analysis out there - please keep it up!
You are dealing with a group of true geniuses!!!!
Absolute masters of every thing they do!!!
Tool is a way of life ❤
My favorite Tool song. Great riff, great topic, and Maynard hits you over the head with his poetry. If it bleeds it leads.
Much better you than I.
I literally sing that line every time I'm driving past vehicular accidents or people pulled over for moving violations. 😆 🤣 😂
My favorite as well, at least tied with Wings For Marie/10000 Days and Jambi. As you can see I absolutely obsess over 10000 Days. A perfect album.
the effect is reverse reverb. you reverse the vocal and add reverb, then record that back in and re-reverse it so you get the vocal back normal but the reverb is reversed leading to those swell ins.
I love your reaction and analysis. Keep the TOOL coming!
Keep going Cristina..... as a Marine veteran i hope you consider "INVINCIBLE" by them also
I concur. Thanks for your service.
Thank you for your service. Maynard served in the Army. Invincible is a masterpiece.
you've got some poise, that's for sure 👍 I didn't mind the poises
15 year old fan of tool. Learnt so many new things today. Thank you
I love the smile on your face at the end. Danny is a beast
Came here when I saw you doing Tool. Please do more. The Fear Inoculum album is a must.
alright, so i subscribed just now because you are different. I love reaction videos in the background, but I've NEVER heard anyone isolate vocals. Win.
You have to hear them live. The studio albums are amazing, the tours... are Effing Amazing.
Danny is an absolute BEAST and the rest is too l
Great break down of the song especially the isolated vocals. I am happy to see you acknowledge the drumming as well.
This was a fantastic breakdown, Young Lady! Bravo 👏
effing vibed with that so much. top tier and super unique. Can’t stop listening to tttheyir! Btw October Ends has done it again! ttheyir new song is a masterpiece. React to it now!
Waited 4 days to make sure I could appreciate this video in the fullest. Well done, and thanks for your previous videos which explore avenues others seem to miss.
Yes!! More Tool!!!
I was on the gym the first time i heard the song i was bloowing away with the very end, that was so original and i think i never heared a song like that with that ending, im so happy discovering TOOL
6:30. Just remember, they are able to do ANY song in the entire TOOL cartography/dimorphism/songs live. Remember that. Any song you listen to on RUclips or other…they can do live. Even today! Remember that. 🌿🌸
Yea. And flawlessly
Always love a new Tool fan being opened up....then you won me when you sang❤
I really like your channel and your analysis as a vocal coach/opera singer is far better and on point than others that I've watched. Great video of my favorite band. 👍👍👍
Yo those isolated vocal tracks are sick! Subscribed lol
Love your picture in the back!!!
Can't wait for your reaction to pnuema... especially with Danny Carey drum cam video
Just here for Tool. Loving your reactions. I get to see them live for the first time next month.....
As usual really enjoyed it and your musical knowledge to go with
It’s time for the drum cam pneuma reaction video. Additionally, need to hit Lateralus for the time signature Easter eggs and Right In Two cause it’s a personal favorite.
I love all of these Tool reaction videos. “The Army” welcomes you. ❤️🔧
Rosetta Stoned by Tool is also a great showcase of the bands ability.
Awesome video yet again!
I especially liked the isolated vocals and hearing your take on them. It’s the things like that make it clear that you put a lot of effort into these videos, and don’t just only listen to a song and make simple commentary, which of course is highly appreciated!
I don’t know if you missed it (which is easy to do when it comes to tool with all the things going on all the time) but the shredding guitar sound that starts at 11:27 isn’t a guitar at all, but instead it’s Justin Chancellor going absolutely mental with his bass!
Just a small thing that you might want to consider in the future is to film yourself in either 30fps or 60fps instead of doing 25fps or 50fps. Almost all videos on RUclips are in 30fps or 60fps, and using something other than that will cause sync issues with the overlay video and make it look a bit odd. But as I said earlier, it’s just a small technical thing that doesn’t detract all that much from your video in the end.
But all in all, awesome video and I can’t wait to see more from you in the future!
HUGE tool fan. I watched probably most of these reaction videos, and I gotta say this was one of my favorites from a vocal coach/ singer.
Great content, really appreciate your breakdown and focus on the singing technique and how it works with the storytelling! Would recommend avoiding the music videos and pulling a high quality copy or just spotify so you can really hear everything clearly. Looking forward to more!
MORE T00L PLEASE!
I love the analysis in your videos! Much better content than reaction videos I've seen from other youtubers. How are you able to isolate the vocal track from the song?
This is cool… keep up the vocal analysis. I’m here for it.
Please, as all your Tool reactions and analysis are very interesting, do it with lyrics on sight, please!
That's exactly what it's about it's how we as people as a whole enjoy watching tragedy as long as it's not us going through the tragedy
The drums in this one are sooooo good!
Tool is like a fever dream...
Whenever I post new Music Reactions, I'm taking your idea to go back and forth between the Song and the Isolated Vocals when possible and WILL ABSOLUTELY Shout You Out, Fam..!
You have one of my Top Seven Favorite Reaction Channels..! So keep up the Amazing Work, Fam..! ✌️👽
*"Like he could do it standing on his Head."..!* 😂
(schism m/v imagery)
@soth1sol
HA..! 😂
Good One..! ✌️🤣 🧩
The lyrics are brilliant. No judgement, no forgiveness... Just a statement: We're all monsters. And no answers to help you - you're just left to face it, and deal with it.
Coolest ending of any Tool song.
The Grudge wants a word.
@carlfishy And a valid word, it would be. Another incredible ending. Third Eye might pipe in as well.
Great stuff. I especially liked you showing some examples with your voice instead of only talking about them. I also enjoyed utilizing the isolated vocals.
It sounds like after that high A at the end he drops to the major third. I hadn't noticed that before. I'd have to listen again but I'm thinking that's the only time they use F# in the song.
Thank you for returning!!!!!
I'd suggest skipping the videos on a first reaction ... there is a LOT to process on a first listen musically alone.
I agree. The videos draw too much attention. I can't appreciate both at the same time lol.
She did a great job ignoring the video though
Good point. Also having lyrics available, which I think she did. A lot of reaction videos miss the importance of what is being said.
Really great job of not getting distracted by the creepy visuals, I agree.
Most people lose the thread and aren’t paying attention to the musics, but she paid attention to the song.
tool is a band that believes words get in the way. album lyrics before fear innoculum were not available for months even years after each respective release. this is similar to why maynard as vocalist takes a step back from being your typical "frontman". they are fractal in their intentionality ...it is meant to reiterate a few things: active listening (as opposed to passive listening - i refer ppl to robert fripp for all that) and adage "the map is not the territory" (which is "there is no spoon" robert anton wilson talk). use the words (if need be) to get yourself to where you need to be in order to forget the words ...bc the real !@#$ is in the music, not lyrics. they will admit that, they have admitted that. i'll give a pass on skipping music video aspect on first listen ...but lyrics were never part of the "first listen" experience tool specifically meant to cultivate. there are message boards dedicated to "what did he say?" leaving things open to interpretation, and introspection. listener is therefor inherently more engaged. remember, context over content always. "question authority" of mind, of words, of everything you (ego) think you know, "watch things die"... esp lyrics. "try and read between the lines", "move between the sounds" ..."to the spaces betwixt" (these are all tool lyrics). if you get caught up on lyrics, you're overlooking the music, and before long you're counting syllables and "never thought to question why".
Sober is probably the most impressive feat of vocal ability Tool can deliver. Especially the live versions
Great reaction and amazing breakdown of vicarious.Don't be a stranger and do some more tool please
Please do a video on Tool's "Wings for Marie" Parts 1 & 2. Maynard's magnum Opus!!!
Great video! Thank you! My guess is your students love you.
Bored and Can't sleep 3:00AM and I find a pretty woman nerding out analyzing Tool this is a great channel
Lovely review and reaction! Thanks!
The drums! O my god! Yep.
The only band with a lead drummer.
create to see you back on the scene
Very cool unique reaction!
Even if Cristina wasn't stunningly gorgeous - and she is - that Australian accent would still make me melt. Cristina is absolutely lovely. Plus she appreciates Tool, which is a major plus in my book. She's a positive champion. Beauty, talent, and smart as all get out. What more could one hope for?
Tool create their albums in an unusual way. The instrumental side is done first by Adam Danny and Justin, then Maynard will write his lyrics and melodies to fit into the music
Never do their videos on your first listen, imo. They are quite (intentionally) distracting and are their own art project with often very little to do with the music
First, I have to say that your successful attempt at doing Maynard’s 26ish second sustained note in your “The Grudge” reaction was one of the impressive things that I’ve ever seen anyone do on RUclips (Full stop). Great job!
Excellent analysis
PLEASE PLEASE Do a vocal analysis of Protest the Hero. Literally any song would work but Bloodmeat or Sequoia throne would be a great starting point. An unbelievably intelligent band with and equally impressive vocalist. Your content is awesome!
I'd love to.see you do The Grudge, WIngs for Marie 1 and 2 together, right in two, Descending
Tool is awesome! The lyrics are often very thought provoking commentary on the world we live in.
If you like Tool, i'm pretty sure you'll like Dream Theater as well! "In the name of God" is awesome.
Hi Christina, Tool fan here. I love the way you react with this Tool's song. I would like you also react "il Sogno" song by Isyana Sarasvati, it's such an amazing song which combining opera singing style and prog metal music
