- For most, getting purposeful, great sounding distortion becomes more difficult or impossible as they inch higher in their range ...Because the sensation of compression changes as our posture changes for higher pitches. This exercise will unlock the right sensations for you! Free Voice Lessons: chrisliepe.com/free-your-voice/

I’d love for a full cover of “Show Me How To Live”. Great video again, Chris!
CHRIS!!! Bro, we gotta hear a full version of “Show me how to live” That was EASILY your best vocal yet to date (at least in my opinion) You didn’t have too much nasal, you set well in your register, and your leaps and vocal style switches were flawlessly executed. Not to mention the nice gritty yell at the end, I mean that had so much resonance and grit perfectly placed and controlled. Well done good Sir!

Man this is like learning how to talk again.
Great stuff, helping me get some of my range back after 50 years of screaming!
Give that man a like, while you're here. Not many people can explain techniques and challenges so well and for free! Love your channel, man.
Thank you so much for your lessons Chris. My neighbors are probably wondering what's going on around here but you've taught me to be at peace with weird sounds coming out of me and my vocals are improving noticeably. It helps that you sing the way I want to be able to, here's to the journey.🤘
I've been watching your videos for a while and as an empiric singer I feel very inspired whenever you share a performance. Thanks for your contribution to the rock/metal singers community Chris, keep it up
It's like imitating Gollum.
And you have a powerful voice
Nah I quit bro said “Rather than leaning away from the CRACK INJECT MORE… support” 😂 I’m dead!
whaaaat you even did the outro of show me how to live!
such a great song but so difficult^^ I need to start punching my throat too :D
i dont know but you should have a covers channel dude... i'd love to hear you sing some nickelback songs, that strong voice is close to chad kroeger's.
I've thought about this many times... Have you seen my covers playlist here on this channel? I think you'd dig it!
@@chrisliepe do you have any video tutorial on this thing? like when i sing a high note it straight up becomes my head voice, would appreciate if you helped me out dude.. nice vocals too
@@troy.dalton1978 Yes! You need to develop your mixed coordinations. It's not a 'one video' thing... It's a step by step discovery process that takes patience and time. You might be ready for this: www.mymusicalvoice.com/p/discover-your-voice/
Amazing Video again Chris! These short videos are so dense with valuable information. I always feel like I've discovered something really useful after watching one.
BROO I'VE BEEN TRYING TO DO THIS FOR MONTHS TYSM
i think im like the 50th person to say this but, we need a full cover of show me how to live! your voice is perfect for cornell songs!
OH HELL YEAH I've been waiting for these kind of videos❤❤❤❤
Hey, Chris! Would love to see you making a video on Brendan Yate's agressive vocals, don't see enough material on hardcore vocalists on youtube. Thanks!
Wow! Thank you for these exercises
That was a great cover - esp the chorus!
Hey, I just wanted to thank you for this tip on behalf of a friend of mine!
For some reason I can't explain, he also wanted to let you know that "me loves listening to Audioslave, because me feels better with them every time me can't have cookies"...😅
Thanks Chris. Here to save the day again. We appreciate all you do. I’m hoping I can sub to your additional service eventually. You’ve just got so much knowledge to give and I’m here for it all.
Would love to have you! Thanks for taking in all the stuff on RUclips :)
Marvelous 💛💙
jeez your voice is INCREDIBLE!!!! Please please listen to Corvyx, you will appreciate him!
Great song choice!
6:03 "Rather than leaning away from the crack"
Inject into the crack 😂
1:15 be like “dream guest on my podcast??”
Voice goes stonks after this video
Thanks
I can't do the part "Nail in my hand" without tensioning a little bit, and It Is noticeable on my voice. I will try to relieve this tension with help of this video thanks
Thanks thanks! =)
I was having this exact problem when you made this. What I would do is start a low comfortable rasp then force it upwards and that got exhausting 'cos I ended up using tension. Your way of starting high and clean then going down and adding rasp absolutely worked! That way I start with no tension then gradually learn to increase the rasp.
How do you do this without damaging your vocal cords? I've been trying to get this kind of distortion on my voice for a long time, but every time I practice I just blow out my voice. I've seen so many videos on how to engage the false cords above the vocal cords, but I can't seem to isolate them and just hurt my throat and vocals by practicing. I can kind of fake it sometimes for a song or two and it sounds kind of ok, but it trashes my voice and throat and I can't keep singing. I feel like I'm just missing some key thing that is keeping me from doing this and if I could just figure out that secret then everything else would fall in line.
@@adidas2684 These high ones aren't using false chord distortion like Phil Anselmo. Its more like Sammy Hagar / Vince Neil. Its using vocal fry and it barely needs any support behind it. You can even do it more quietly than talking volume. Just combine vocal fry (like the Grudge sound / Elmer Fudd) and go "wahh wahh wahh" (quickly, not drawn out) like a baby crying and make it very nasal and annoying 'cos that makes it easier to activate the fry. Practise raising the pitch of "wahh wahh wahh". If you feel it rumble in your throat (close to vocal chords) then you're doing it wrong. It should feel like a sparkle near the nose
@DanceWithAmps I can do the vocal fry easy. I can even pitch it up and down decently. I dont have the same range as clean, but I think that is expected and can improve with practice.
Still, when I try to put any amount of volume behind it to get above a whisper, it starts hurting after a short time. I can get up to a normal speaking volume, but that's about my max volume and it always makes my throat sore and my voice goes out.
@@adidas2684 The mistake I made was starting with vocal fry then making it loud and moving it to the right pitch. Best way to practise is to start clean and make sure you can get to the desired pitch and volume/resonance with no tension (if you're using mixed-voice you should be able to get super-high, like Queen of the Reich, with no tension). Then you add fry on top of that. This is essentially the exercise Chris Liepe is demonstrating.
@DanceWithAmps he was showing the exercise as start clean, go low, add fry, then bring it up. I can do that, but when I get to kind of a normal speaking volume, it starts to hurt after a little while.
I know I also struggle a little with compression when trying to add fry. I can do it clean pretty well. Especially belting. I have a harder time with compression at lower volumes and when adding vocal fry.
I dont know if that's just want I need to get better at and maybe other stuff will get easier? Or if I'm doing something else wrong.
Hey Chris, I'm a huge fan of your videos and I was wondering if you'd be interested in making a vocal analysis video for Zillakami. He has a very unique style of grit singing that I don't really see anyone else talk about very much.
Dang I really wanted to hear you sing “NAIL IN MY HAaAand! FROM MY CREATOoOor!”
You'll have to wait for the full cover :)
@@chrisliepe I’ll be waiting… “WITH ARMs WIDE OOPEeeN… yeeeur”
Coach Liepe, would you be willing to do a Scott Stapp vocal analysis?
Thx Chris for ALL your GREAT stuff ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Will this lead to FALSE CORD engagement? I'm not sure if I end up in a sort of FRY (creaking) distortion...??? Thx again 😇🙏
Tell us something about Anthony Green, please...
how load are you actually, and how much is using the mic and tech in post processing? bear in mind recording is done at between -28db and -6db?
I'm using a lot of compression in the preamp going into the DAW for sure! Coming in around -3
@@chrisliepe I've got through your first lesson have trying to feel my abdomen taking the tension rather than chest. its helped a lot. not yet getting high notes. just makes the stamina of singing easier. my recent efforts. ruclips.net/video/-yb4EoPW4A4/видео.html
Upper range distortion is indeed a challenge! How to go from Winwood to Cornell? THAT is the question. 😊
Exactly! It's RIGHT here in this lesson :) !!
@@chrisliepe excellent. And thank you (as always)! Strange sounds will be emanating from my attic studio this evening! 😊
@@WhaleBlueEye ahh the sound of new learning :) !!
That is very helpful to think of Cookie Monster voice as low in the throat and then bring it high! Do I have that right? The feeling is like distortion behind your nose?
Exactly right!
I have a question, I can do distortion comfortably in those high belting notes. but when i'm pushing into screaming territory I notice that my voice has to get into more of a light mixed voice. I was wondering if this is normal or if I'm doing something wrong. love your vids btw
do more of one ok rock reaction plz🙏
typical banger

Thanks for all of these awesome videos. I don't normally make requests, but Coachella released Sublime performing Santeria a few days ago and it's the OG singer's son on vocals and he's really matching his father's diverse and expressive live performance. Maybe there's some interesting stuff to talk about there. Anyway, take care!
Im 2 hours, kinda early?😅
I think it's a mental thing for me, when it comes to most vocal techniques. It's weird that I can manipulate my voice best when I'm just playing around, but not when singing. Like that old lady from SpongeBob when they sell chocolate. Imitating her is easy, but if I tried to do that while singing I'd blow out my larynx
Please watch Arch Enemy - Handshake with hell 😮
Show me!
Make sure you watch all the way to the end for the full exercise!
Chris, you used to avoid "cookie monster" grit like the plague! What brought about this change? You told me that five minutes after using cookie monster grit, you couldn't use it anymore. How has that changed? Cookie monster is a technique that doesn't require compression, right?
No change. I don't recommend leaning into cookie monster as a main source of distortion. Notice, with this exercise, we start with it to feel out the height of the engagement, but then as soon as we start leaning into the exercise, we remove cookie monster and just use the notes. It's being used here as a way to feel out a particular coordination. We use it... then we lose it :)
@@chrisliepe Oh, I didn't realize that you "lose it" as you start leaning into the exercise! Thank you!
@@russellspear6188 ya, I make sure and make that distinction about half way through the video as soon as we start to build in range. :)
Starts a little pirate-ish at the beginning lol
thanks so much for keeping this topic in mind. i’m still struggling with it
Hey Chris! I absolutely love these tutorials, they really do help out quite a bit. I was just wondering if you could please do an analysis on Unnämed. They have a very similar singing style to Ado and their “God-ish” cover is absolutely amazing! I would love to see an analysis on it!
YO FR THATS SO SICK !!!! ID LOVE TO SEE IT
