#HowToSingBetter #FreyaCasey #SingingTips
He hates autotune. He was not in a good mood when he realized the producers had used it without telling him.
The part where she says she heard autotune there was none. That was a natural part of his voice. There is one part in the middle of the song where they apply a bit of auto tune and you can see it in the reaction on his face.
@@evilactions1749 Hilarious. You may want to get your ears checked for excess wax.
You people are so full of nonsense. What you're hearing wasn't even from the show taping itself, it was recorded during rehearsal. If he actually didn't know it was being used, they could have started again from the top. It was used because they don't have the guts to perform an actual live performance for television. I'm also assuming the instrumentation included a pre-recorded backing track.
@@siberianhusky5874 lmfao says the guy sitting on the couch typing this 😂😂😂. I’m sure you know better than a professional production crew and David himself 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@jonfarva2052 Pal, the waveforms don't lie. It's Auto-Tune.
Lol..."But why?"
He had the flu. They didn't tell him they were going to do that; he was pissed.
Yeah it was the show producers who decided to do it. Totally unnecessary. Sick & all he can sing most people into the ground
The engineers decided to use auto tune because he was sick. So sick they thought about canceling and he chose to perform anyway. He hates it and was mad when he realized they were using it. He is also classically trained, the man is a legend.
He is so good that he doesn't need auto tune. He is amazing
I know David was very disappointed in the network engineers decision to use auto tune.
What a load of crap. Stop making apologies and excuses for that guy. The album version used computer-altered vocals, too. Was he sick during the studio sessions, too? Just stop it. The bottom line is it's preposterous to analyze his vocals while performing this song, his vocal performance is 100-percent computer automation. Pick a different song using his vocals, one that hasn't been processed by technology like a microwaved piece of rancid meat. Although I get the sense finding one would be extremely challenging to locate.
@@siberianhusky5874 what hate you have on this phenomenal version of this song?😏😏😏David has a very powerful voice...your hate feelings will never change that😏..
@@CHB83 Powerful voice or not, the end result is you're not listening to a human being. You're listening to what a computer altered and spit out. And these people who think a television network or a television show is authorized to use Auto-Tune without the musical act's knowledge are complete idiots.
David has been taught by a wonderful coach for many, many Years. Thats how he can distort so excellent and change his pitch. He has one of the few voices To become A Master Singer (Which He Has) Davids Voice Slays !!!!!
Melissa Cross was his coach for the vocal fry.
Who was his vocal coach, HAL 9000? If he's going to sing using a computer, then he might as well be coached by Kubrick.
Love listening to these Vocal Coaches trying to analyze David's voice and singing... "He's a good singer..." Nope, he's a AWESOME vocalist!!
I got one better, I want to see any vocal coach do better lol. The man is a millionaire with a huge fan base, I think he knows what he's doing. Especially for a guy that was sick as a dog during that performance. Godly performance 🤙🏼🤙🏼
This is my favorite rendition of this song. His interpretation truly brings out the true meaning of the lyrics. Simon and Garfunkel sang to alarm us, Disturbed sings to give us a final warning. You should watch the original music video of it when you get a chance. It is as beautiful as it is haunting. As for this performance, David had the flu when he sang that evening.
He didn't sing it that evening, you're listening to an Auto-Tune rehearsal performance, there was no evening performance for the actual show taping.
David Draiman himself said in an interview that his training was that of a Jewish Cantor although he continues to work with a vocal coach even now.
He was sick with the flu at the time. He wasn’t happy when he found out they auto tuned.
David Draiman....a voice to die for! Wow....always blows me away!
No need to analyze that man voice, he's a legend
I adore him and can't wait to see your reaction.
David can sing to me anytime 😜
David has no competition or equals in the industry….. he is the definition of the difference between ppl who sing and ppl who were born to.❤
He's got a beautiful voice and seems to have some operatic training. I was trained operatically and am a singer and musician (for fun), and I've always loved listening to David's voice. I hate that the producers used autotune on his beautiful voice.
He probably had the best training for his fantastic voice! He is on another level!
Wow he is Phenomenal
This song is lyrical audacity, vocal audacity, and symphonic audacity! Said differently? It is magnificent!
Yes, he was sick during this performance. They did auto tune him. He hates auto tune, and was mad that they did.
I love your analysis of this, also that you could detect the auto tune. Not many people do.
I could not guess how many of these reaction vids I have seen, but THAT was the most comprehensive analysis by far.
There is a video with this Italian vocal coach that does a WAY better job analyzing and describing the processes. Wish i could remember his name.
Yep, first off he has a family history of great singers and has been trained as a Cantor in the Jewish religion besides having a vocal coach, whom he gives tremendous props to, who helps him with his voice.
He wasn't trained to be a cantor. Along with the Auto-Tune nonsense, that's just some entertaining storytelling.
I’ve been a fan of Disturbed since high school, so awesome to see your reaction to him.
The Autotune, from what I understand, was added by the network engineers. He wasn't happy at all when he found out.
FINALLY! Someone who know the difference between a "reaction" and an "analysis"! Kudos yo you!
I just love this channel, and your approach, so much. Love love love ❤️
They did not choose auto tune , the television station did and David was very angry.
He suffered a bleeding lesion on his left cord for this performance and later had surgery
HE HAD THE FLU!!!!
Outstanding informative critique
David is a master of his craft and I believe the he was quite angry about the auto tune but apparently it is something the TV company add automatically.
Aaahhhh... David... 😍😍
He was ill that day. The producers used autotune without his knowledge.
Did you notice the original video has about 117 million views? This was a high exposure gig. It comes down to a lack of confidence. Maybe if he stood on his feet instead of sitting down he would have had more support.
@@John_Malloy If he'd been well enough to stand, he'd not have sat. The man was ill. The song had to be dropped so he could hit the high notes and did a blooming good job.
By the way, he was mad as a hornet when he heard that autotune. He doesn't use it. Ever!
@@TheGrannyNut When you say "the song had to be dropped" I'm assuming you mean, dropped in pitch. I checked a studio version on YT. It's in the same key. Here is another live performance: ruclips.net/video/NDs9I8XHEl0/видео.html&ab_channel=BrianStevensRealtor The last note sounds weird, maybe tuned, but most of it is raw. This is how it should have sounded and why they auto tuned it.
@@John_Malloy When he sings "A reason to fight" or "Hold on to memories" he sits too and his voice is amazing :)
@@dm4959 I gave a first time listen to "A reason to fight" -- good song, good singing. Ironically it's in the same key as "The Sound of Silence" but he does not dwell in the lower octave. It sounds like he likes the higher part of his range (high baritone) and he needs to be careful if he moves down the scale. Like I said in another comment I think the arrangement of "Silence" was terrible and now I feel sure that if he sang it in a better key, maybe d minor, without the useless octave shift, he would do a great job.
He was LIVID that the producers put on auto-tune. He was really sick for this performance and he still sounded remarkable. He was trained Bell Canto in Italy.
And by livid you mean everybody knew, including him.
Ooh I would love you to hear Peter Steele's voice & Till Lindeman!
I was just wondering that point today and there was your video in my feed! When he sings Sound of Silence he is so animated and present. Lots of expression and power in the right places, lots of variation. But when he talks in comparison, to me it is almost a different person. He sounds relaxed and even, almost too chilled, very gentle and unconcerned. I was expecting some kind of dynamic when he spoke, something that sits me up to listen in the right places. His speaking voice seems so disconnected from his singing presence. Even when he introduces himself at the beginning of his talks its just completely so nonchalant and unassuming. Leaves me wanting that "I am David Draiman and...." that sits me up and says "have I got your interest and attention?" I guess that is because of the hit his cover gives with such rich perfection and variations and animation, leaves one an addict for more. That being said the contrast of performance and person helps not to stereotype the "person with the actor". He seems like a really nice person, calm, kind, thoughtful, intelligent and somewhat detached in a healthy way. Bit like a Buddha Draiman. The contrast blows my mind as much as his cover song. 🙃😄
Watch some more of his interviews. He’s very candid about his life and the journey to be at this “chilled” laid back stage.
I've seen many comments on this version of this song (because it's sublime and this version is an instant 'tingle-factor' classic), including many, many from voice coaches, but your reaction and technical comments really nail it ... except from the part where so many of us are brought to tears by the raw emotion... and this mastery of arrangement and voice and performance (plus the intelligent and prescient mastery of songwriting of Paul Simon) must surely mark this as one of the .ist sensitive and intelligent covers ever.
Good work!
He didn't start at the very bottom. David has a known range spanning B♭1 to G♯5
He was extremely sick when they did that show. Had a 102 temperature
He does not use auto tune
The autotune is very limited, not at all in the low range. He was very sick, could barely stand (which is why he is sitting on a stool, the band was worried about him). In the third stanza, there is just a touch of autotune. He was not aware of it, and was quite rightly angered by the usage. He doesn't need it! The sound people were too used to singers that are much less talented than he.
Hold on to the flame.live 1984 from Tokyo
Just so you know in this particular performance he had a cold so he wasn't quite at peak performance level in this and still sounded great.
Ha! She said "I hear a hint of auto tune." and the VERY next thing said is "I love the purity." Auto tune would be the antithesis of pure, being that would be altering the natural voice. Not to mention, the only person I have heard try to "correct" this version of this song, the classic case of someone with nothing to really to say.
*YES!* You're the only comment here that doesn't read like it had been written by somebody who'd just been beaten over the head with a metal pipe. The only comment that makes sense.
I know you are trying to explain everything he is doing, but stopping so often is annoying ..
How can a vocal coach analyze heavily processed Auto-Tune vocals and be credible? This is ridiculous.
Stop stopping it
Thanks for the little disvovery. I didn't know him.
His voice was trained in Classical music
Jesus Christ. Can you please just listen to the song without interrupting such a masterpiece..
I think you like hearing your own head rattle..
Great analysis! I think you have him pegged.
Please review Tim Foust of the acapella group Home Free - he has a 5 octave range. He has also done a few numbers with Peter Hollens.
Draiman reveals how Disturbed chose to cover this song and their choice to do something so different than they usually and what it did to them and the world. @
His vocal coach is Melissa Cross, VERY WELL KNOWN !!! Teaches dozens of rock bands and lead singers. He has also had Opera lessons. Just FYI for you.
On Conan they used auto tune and David wasn't very happy and told them that, watch the music video and then do a reaction on that without the auto tune. They didn't need it and he had a cold, he's done this many times now live in his concerts and it sounds just like the music video, he is a great singer. Great reaction.
Umm...the studio version is also processed and was pitch-corrected. Whether it was through Auto-Tune or through Melodyne, I don't know and I don't care. Either way, it's fraudulent.
@@siberianhusky5874 "don't care" enough to reply to most of the comments on here about auto-tune? Lmao!!
@@WILF2007 Siberian Husky is obviously the guy that lost to David when Disturbed auditioned for a singer. 😆
He had a fever
Melissa Cross was his vocal coach for a while. Not sure if she still is. From what I've read, she's the premier metal and rock vocal coach.
He had 103 temperature and was sitting on a stool
He's a classically trained Jewish Cantor.
Would love to hear you analyze Righteous Brothers - Unchained Melody
That color helps
Interesting analysis.
He is truly gifted. He did have the flu. He also was auto tuned (briefly) by the Conan audio engineer. And it pissed him off lol. He has a true vocal gift.
You're a hoot.
You can’t be briefly auto tuned you are or are not
David had the flu and a 102 temp and was so weak he had to sit down
He had the flu during this performance and the producers pissed him off using auto tune
They pissed him off with the auto tune. He's an amazing singer and didn't want that shit. Even though he had the flu during this performance.
Watch the official video
When he sings live he never wants Autotune. He was unaware the sound crew of the Conan show did this. He wasn’t happy about it.
Bullshit.
Autotune is confused by vibrato, reads it as getting pitching, when it is not
Love reaction videos of this song but this is unwatchable u stop ever few seconds
Is voice color something that changes as more or less emotion enters the voice. Depending on the song, and my mood, I change my annunciations as I express the thoughts. Is this good to realize and apply for times when I am feeling blah and have a performance?
I heard he was extremely sick when he done this on Conan O'Brien
I made it to 2:33. Why don't you listen to the song and go from there? Do you ever enjoy music or do you constantly pick it apart in your head. I like to watch a person's reaction to a song. You don't do that. I'm out.
Just despite the morons on Conan throwing that useless autotune in there, I love this live performance even if he was sick with a fever, these reaction videos to this song really oughta stick to the recorded version or find another live version because it’s gettin old when all these people keep yabbering about the autotune they hear because it wasn’t supposed to be there. Even though David is still incredibly amazing in this performance, if you want the truth depth of his talent, don’t use this video.
Yep, totally agree! I'm so tired of the auto-tune rants I just skip past them now.
They didn't choose the auto tune, the show did because they knew he was sick (he had an encounter child with the flu, and caught it a couple of days before this show).
Who cares about auto tune? Can’t we just enjoy the song? And by the way eight hundred million people viewed it.
He was a trained cantor
GIVE DAVID A BREAK HE HAD THE FLU
At 9:42 I don’t like how you said “Now we getting to his actual sound”. The whole song is his actual sound.
He's a pretty good singer..LMAO
Understatement of the year ^^
David had a cold and fever and suffers from sinusitis..he has perfect pitch and was dismayed when auto tune from the studio was applied. He had formal training for a Cantor ..his great grandfather and father were cantors but he chose not to pursue it
I have a Request could u do the band creed my own prison I think Scott stapp is underated singer
He had the flu during this performance and the producers pissed him off usi autotune
He was very sick
David was not feeling well on the day of this performance. Auto-tune may have been used for that reason.
Love how you break down what he is doing. I would love to see you break down Tatiana from Jinjer's one take of "Judgment and Punishment"
agreed
You should analyse Floor Jansen, could be interesting for you too.
He had a fever and the Conan ppl added the auto tune but it was only a couple of times against David’s wishes
You only wish you had his talent. You can do your coaching but never make it on your own...
Stop pausing we don't need comments every 10 seconds. It's super annoying.
He’s not singing musicals on Broadway- c’mon!!!
He had a cold, sore throat, fever.
He was very sick and he didn’t like the auto tune and did not authorize it plus he was sick
I understand you must pause and I Respect your critique. But you stopped so much; if a listener wasn't already very familiar with the song, it's a disservice. If you are a fan it's SO frustrating.
Should have played thru the song once beforehand.
she is commenting on his technique. not gushing on and on about how great he may be or whatever. it is what exactly makes him great. subtle things it appears.
The auto tune could be a couple of things. Obvious choice it could be producers choice since it is a live version, on TV. Or it could have been because he did have the flu during this performance.
He had a serious case of the flu during this performance….
Yes, he and his brother did have lessons - but if your spirit isn’t in it, you can NEVER touch the entire world - only yourself! You don’t exactly think that you are less than worthy of entertaining family do you???
This man can touch your soul much like Simon and Garfunkel
They touched my soul always - even before my teens
Don’t criticize unless you wrote the song, perform it yourself (I believe you said no one liked it.
Honey the rest of us have loved Simon and Garfunkel since the beginning. And yes, even Paul Simon complimented David and said he thought it was the best EVER!
Wanna see vocal control? Check out the band JINJER. Their song "Pisces" Live Session. Tatiana Shmalyuk is the lead singer. Enjoy.
Great analysis.
Auto tune? Are you crazy?
Comment for the algorithm
I can't give my own opinion of the song because you are analyzing every two words. How about listening to the song as a whole before stopping every 10 seconds.
But WHY...? EXACTLY. A VOCAL MASTERPIECE.
He was very sick when that was recorded
He had the flu and was pissied they added it
