Ever wonder how singers like Chester Bennington, Jared Leto and Sammy Hagar (to name a few) get that wonderful, full, gritty sound 'on command' through almost their whole range? How do they turn that intensity on and off so effortlessly? In this video, I cover exactly how to get these sounds. Once you learn how certain things are supposed to feel, the only thing that stands in your way is consistent and mindful practice! I'll show you how easy it really is...
To those who don't know. Chris's vocal course ("Discover your voice" and "Mixed voice and Madness practice pack") is ABSOLUTELY GREAT!!! Join his vocal course. You won't regret it guys. I've already finished his first course ( "Discover your voice") and I want to say I've learned a lot from that, especially vocal fry and vowel placement. Also I learned mixed voice. This channel is GOLD on RUclips.
I agree... Totally amazing and natural. I love this channel and vocal course 👌🙏🎶
@Sage Malachi bot 🤣

Other vocal coaches: "Sing with great diaphragm support."
Chris Liepe: "Poop."
hehe
"Sing like you're gonna poop yourself."
I actually went to poop after i tried this 🤣
But he's right
I sent the link to this video to my sister who is not at all interested in singing but who gets constipated fairly often.
🤣🤣🤣🤣you want to sing better? Learn how to poop
I want a compilation of Chris out of context
I second this.
Yes

Yes!! I have thought this as well 😂😂😂
OMG THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT
Ah. A real mug. This changes things.
JonahDeroy AND he took a sip!! Satisfaction achieved.
@@breckh8475 It was A LOT of anticipation.
I came here to say this.
That my first thought when I started watching this! I had to go back and check if it was actually a mic.
JonahDeroy Hahahahah
Man Chris is basically the Bob Ross of singing, awesome personality, heaps of talent and full of positivity. Breaking down and teaching us, even if we can barely sing at all. Wonderful work man!
what an oddly accurate comparison
I love how he jokes without ever laughing. The singing at the end! 🤣
"Teeth!"
"I fell down and got a buuuuuuump!"
@@ross311 Bob Ross with vocal fry. Gold!
Finding my mixed voice was a happy accident! 😊
Step 1 to rock singing: Almost poop your pants. Got it but I think I messed up step 1... brb...
Well what you did wrong is you went straight from step 1 onto number 2.
Dislikes are from his neighbors
Lmao! Well i bet if his studio is set up.like mine you couldn't hear anything outside lol be glad we are vocalists and not serial killers bwhahahaha
i would love to shift to become his neighbour hahaha
@@christianstorm8854 I'm looking at soundproofing/suppressing my room so I can record at home. Any tips for a dude on a budget?
Alex Yodson Hey, there are many options depending on how you want to set up a home studio. You can look on eBay for fire retardant acoustic/studio foam as it is cheaper then most places. For around $50-$70
There are also videos that you can see to make patterns on your wall with the foam meaning set up depending on if your doing vocals/guitar/percussion. And go to guitar center or the like and look for a recording kit. Usually around $100 or so for a decent set up.
Once you progress you can upgrade to better gear. Hope this helps.
Hahaha

@@chrisliepe Thanks to you, this gives me a lot to practice. I didn't know i compressed my vocals the bad way, thats why my vocal chords get sore and tired so easily.
Thanks for doing this!
Thanks for the layout
Thank you!
to those who still doubt chris' free voice lesson, just do it ! it's one of my better decisions i've done this year to improve my singing
But, theres only one video right?? or is there a way to "unlock" the others? XD
Beto Osé theres three and they’re great
Yeah so true
Sir I needed to help You can help my Channel 😁😁 Because I am not Wheel
Dude same here. It really helps.
Thanks man i love how you're not like *buy my course* and you just teach people
His course is awesome though.
Seriously though, such great course material.
the soul patch really sells the professional musician aesthetic
Man! You seem to be the only vocal coach who actually makes videos on vocal lessons while others are into some vocal reacts trend. I lately discovered this channel and I gladly exploit the knowledge that you provide for free and which others charge a ton. And even though I mostly sing pop but rock is a greater teacher. I hope you will continue to provide knowledge even when your channel reaches tremendous success which it will for sure.
Looking at you Tristan
In all fairness you have to remember that most of them are professional vocal coaches making RUclips videos and not RUclips vocal coaches.
So much more money to be made giving private lessons. It's not practical teach on RUclips as a job. Once you put your lessons on RUclips no one needs to pay you to teach them.
@@alexyodson5749 Yeah, no. These are tips from a vocal coach, not actual training. What you see in these videos is not at all what he does with his clients.
Kardavox Academy does reacts but he also breaks down a lot of how the vocalists do certain techniques
One of the best vocal teachers i've found on youtube, really original refreshing approach to teaching! Love it man, instant subscribe
Awesome, thank you!
wow, Ren you awesome
:O clash of titans Chris and Ren both here.
@@chrisliepe I need to get a vocal coach. I have some training and years of experience but need to clean up my voice for recording sessions. I want to make sure I am not causing damage and able to sing aggressive and raspy like Corrnell and Plant.
So fun to find this comment now 😃
As someone who always drank too much at partys i am grateful for every session that i had at my toilet to train for this.
haha
You not being ashamed to make sounds is truly a gift to us. Your pedagogy is the best.
You sound like Chris Cornell even when you aren’t intending to. It’s pretty cool! You’ve got a great voice.
You'll hit 500k subs in a few months.
For sure! These are some quality vocal lessons
Tried this on my work desk, and my colleague asked if she needs to call an exorcist.
Love that he doesn’t just tell you to go buy his singing course like a lot of local coach youtubers. He dishes out these gold tips for free out of the passion of his craft! 🙏
YES... If you find value here! ...Imagine what's in the courses!! :)
When your mother leaves your room door open behind her 17:52
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 say no more
You deserve this growth because you make peoples' voices grow in control!
I'm not kidding. This video saved my life. When Chris mentioned where to place the grit, I thought "hmm, it's true, i've never payed attention to that". In the end, the reason why I couldn't sing a whole song without simply ROASTING my throat was the placement. I was placing the grit below my larynx. I fixed that and all of a suddenly I started singing 12 songs in a row without pain. It's unbelievable.
YESSSSSS!!!! :) !!!
NAH CUZ I COULDN'T STOP LAUGHING TRYING TO DO THE POOP EXERCISE HELP, but this has been definitely the best help out there for this specific vocal trick, since i had absolutely no idea how to do it, thanks man
This is great as it's like you stretch with CT muscle first (sounds airy, high and weak), then activate the TA muscle which is when you hear the grit and meaty sound. Adding volume or activating support even more to stay engaged with TA muscle. The trick is to develop and master that activation of TA when CT stretches it. Many times people have one or the other but hard to develop coordination of both.
YES! right on!
When this guy blows up I’m gonna me like “yeah I was here in the OG times”. Props to you my man, thank you for all this
:)
13:05 already sounding like Rob Halford
crazy how you sounded just like the rev
I’m a singer and guitar player. Been singing for about 8 years but never was taught to sing. I can use rasp and stuff like this and you out of everyone aren’t afraid to make the embarrassing sounds that we gotta practice on which helps me find new ways to use my voice and to help me sing better. You got my subscription for sure. Thanks for helping out man and good job on your videos keep it up 👍
I expect a huuuge sub growth very soon, glad I found you when I did.
I'll remember this moment when you're at 100k or so and write a comment along the lines of "Really enjoyed your videos over all these months, you've really helped me out! Been watching since 15k or so, glad to see you grow so much!" Haha, great videos. Thanks for all the help! :D
Thanks so much! Ya, it's exciting. Glad you're enjoying the content man!
I love how unashamed your lessons are. It's really inspiring, and alot of fun! Found my support today while singing when cycling home - my upper abs hurt real bad.
I do exactly the same on the bicycle xD or when I'm outside with the dog and no one's near ;P
Just one word about his Videos--> “Vocation “ ,that will take you to another portal.
I like the way you look into my eyes when you do that
You're explaining all of this stuff so damn good man. Please continue making those videos.
Lately, I’ve been seriously considering getting professional vocal lessons because I simply can’t get my voice to be what I want it to be, and vocal lessons on RUclips are very subpar. Now, at 4:35am, unable to sleep, you pop up on my recommended feed. I just gained so much more confidence in my ability to correctly integrate proper techniques into my vocals *safely*. Thank you for all these wonderful videos. Nothing on RUclips, or anywhere else, can compare to these lessons 💙🤘🏻
fantastic stuff, thx Chris
Glad I'm part of this channel and your course from the beginning! Keep up the good work
19:05 Guys that was a D5 that I could also do directly after this lesson, applying what he taught. This guy is for real, he can explain it, teach it, demostrate it
I cant really afford good vocal lessons and have searched the internet for months trying to find good tutorials to no avail. But after only watching a handful of your videos you have dramatically changed my singing voice for the better. So thank you, thank you for everything. I've always wanted to be a singer but never felt like I had what it took and now when I hit notes I've never thought I could ever hit it almost brings tears to my eyes. Again thank you so much your work is inspiring please never stop.
When listening to isolated vocal songs, I’m always amazed at noticing how much less effort the singer puts into his singing.
Keep making these please! Very, very helpful.
This is the best teaching of vocal grit I've ever seen on youtube. Well done and thank you!
Discovered this channel today, also subbed today. Great content, keep it up!
I'm going to look back, and owe it all to this mans lessons. Big ol thanks.
You’ve really helped me with my vocals and not being shy about it! Thanks for all your help!
Congratulations, mate, for your videos. You are making me really comprehend how to hit high notes and change my voice the way I've ever wanted. Well deserved growth of your channel. Greetings from Brazil!
I'm just getting back into full force Rock singing after years away. Your training and lessons are great refresh course for me, I've done all the techniques and exercises before, but I really needed to remind myself how to do it right. Thank you for putting such great, detailed information out there for singers, both advanced like myself and beginners. I've basically became a beginner all over again after not singing for years, and your lessons are a lifesaver.
Chris, I can’t thank you enough for being so cool with looking silly in order to demonstrate a point. There’s often such a disconnect in my vocal lessons, in that it’s VERY difficult to communicate how things should feel. You make it crystal clear to an entire audience. It’s more helpful than you even know! 👏
Chris your videos are absolutely astounding - literally never seen or heard anyone explain any techniques as clearly and coherently as you do, keep doing what you're doing cus I'm loving it!
Best explanation about this technique so far!!!! and I've been taking lessons with several vocal coaches. THANK YOU Chris!
This is exactly why I love Chris Liepe. He’s literally the only person on RUclips with a bunch of videos that actually explains things and the fact that he has a no bs free training course just changes the game.
Thanks!
Great stuff
Thank you so much man! I've been watching and rewatching your videos for a few weeks now and it is helping me so much. Keep up the great work.
Loving the growth in your channel man. You totally deserve it man. Learned a lot of stuffs from your videos. Keep them coming!!! 1st like😀😀✌✌👌🤘
I’ve heard it’s a good idea to go back to a clean sound when you’re done with this type of singing and then do a vocal cool down. My voice is getting scratchy and I have to cough while doing this. Thanks for the info, I’ll keep working on it bro!
Yes, this is something I should have maybe touched on. I'll be talking about this in a video I post later this week as well!
@@chrisliepe I'm at 12:26 in the vid and I'm gonna have to go to bed and resume tomorrow, but this is VERY exciting that you are a vocal coach on RUclips who is actually really teaching us how to make distortion/grit instead of making a clickbait title where they demonstrate it and then refer us to their program.
Honestly, just the anticipation of the thought that you are going to actually show me how to make grit for FREE, out of the kindness of your heart and desire to help people, makes me want to PayPal you $50+ and I'm not even 100% sure yet that I will know how to do the grit after I am able to watch the rest of the video.... but even just the IDEA that you care enough to show us how to really do this makes me want to throw money at you in appreciation. And I'm unemployed right now!!!
I don't expect anyone to believe this, but I can sing just like Steve Perry and Michael Jackson and Jason Mraz and I can even do an imitation of Smokey Robinson by making my larynx super high and using it (instead of air modulation) for vibrato.
I can sing like Layne Staley of Alice IN Chains BUT I CANNOT MAKE ANY GRIT/Distortion!!! So this video is EPIC!!!
Thank you so much, Cris! I cannot wait to resume it tomorrow evening!
Regarding clearing the scratchiness (prior to your video about it being posted), perhaps Roger Love's technique would be helpful for DTuned? Talk like Yogi Bear saying "Hey hey, boo boo!" with your Larynx super super low. (Look it up if you aren't old enough to know what Yogi Bear sounds like).
I ASSume that lowering the larynx like this is probably stretching the vocal chords out kind of like stretching a tight tendon, but I have not idea what I am talking about and am probably wrong! :)
I'm really concerned about damaging my voice, so I'm wondering why does DTuned have a scratchy voice from doing these exercises that are supposed to involve no pain or fatigue?
Hey, why do Chris Cornell (RIP) and Richie Kotzen (and the singer from the band Big Wreck to a lesser degree) all sound so similar? Are they using the same technique to make their grit?
Like, maybe the technique they use to make grit is to constrict and close up the back of their throat (like above the base of the tongue) and so they sound almost the same as each other?
I'm also suspecting that this is how Steven Tyler of Aerosmith does that scratchy "Ya ya yow" thing that he does because it sounds really constricted to me. And Angus Young of AC/DC sounds even more constricted. In fact, I can almost get his sound.
Maybe this could be a video if you think it is worthy?
"Distortion: Why Chris Cornell and Richie Kotzen sound the SAME" :)
Thanks for being awesome and giving us this gold, man. It's amazing and greatly appreciated.
I mean, I can sing all of Michael Jackson's "Man In the Mirror" (though it is iffy after the modulation) but I can't do ANY of the grit.
And when I do the 7 "woos" at karaoke my voice is shot for 2 or 3 days (I quit doing that in 2009!). Same thing happens if I do the "For MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" in Bohemian Rhapsody.... the voice is scratchy and anhilated for 2 days (I quit doing that years ago too).
Let me know if this message was too short. :P
StratMatt777 This is a great comment! Cornell, Kotzen and Thornley all have very similar vocal tones/styles. Cornell barely opened his mouth half of the time which shows that I don’t think he was pushing a lot of air for volume. It seems like head “placement/resonance” is where their volume comes from.
As far as the scratchyness goes, I get that if I try and do fry or glottal compression without warming my voice up first. Vocal warmups in my experience are critical. If you read about Myles Kennedy and his warmups, they are pretty extensive and he seems to have no vocal issues being on tour constantly. He doesn’t do as much compression now as he did with the Mayfield Four.
Personally, I think if you are getting scratchyness or fatigue then you may be doing something incorrectly. I imagine Chris will weigh in here on all of this. Straining and pushing too much air past the folds seems to be the biggest culprits when it comes to fatigue and hoarseness. But I am only speaking from my own experience. I too am looking to get glottal compression into my toolbox so I am very thankful for these videos.
StratMatt777 thanks for the advice man. I think my throat is scratchy because I’ve just started this and this technique is hit or miss. I’m working on Man in the Box and have seen Ken Tamplins vid on that song. I’ve been singing for years but nothing really challenging like the rock metal stuff. Belting the A#4 in the chorus of Man in the Box is really challenging me and right now it’s totally clean
@@theophany1770 I appreciate your comment because you have scared me away from trying to do this exercise... I only got up to 12:26 in the video last night but my voice is a little bit hoarse and that freaks me out.
In just the last 4 days I have happened upon 4 different guitarists giving the advice to stop trying to imitate other players because it will hold you back from finding your own voice....
I think I will apply that to my singing too and stop trying to be Layne Staley myself.
HUGE LAYNE STALEY FAN HERE. HUGE!
I've been singing for 30 years. When AIC "Dirt" was just released I was a teenager driving around in my car singing my ass off to it (but not with grit).
I'm in Seattle, so when Layne Died I and a friend went to the unofficial public gathering at the fountain and the Seattle Center which served as an unofficial funeral type gathering to remember the guy.
DON'T WRECK YOUR VOICE MAN.
Maybe this is something we should work on with a vocal coach in person.... which I think is what Ken Tamplin says...
This so makes sense! Thank you!
Very clear and helpful explanations as always, thank you Chris!
I was looking all over for this perfect explanation of compression. Love how clear you made it, fun to watch, really enjoyed it all dude
That’s so great to hear! Here’s another video I enjoyed doing, dealing with some of those same things: ruclips.net/video/t_wju9Numnk/видео.html
This is amazing Chris, thanks! You're such a fantastic teacher!
Thank you!
I really like how you explain things: It's easy to understand with simple exercices. Many thanks Chris!
This lesson was amazing, thanks a lot!
This is explained perfectly.
For years I've been looking for a healthy, understandable and really technically good explanation for Distorsion. I've watched an infinite number of videos about it. The tip about compression is worth its weight in gold. Now at last I could do it without coughing or putting pressure on the vocal cords. Many thanks from Germany. 💖
Brrriooo this is one of the most educational yet entertaining lessons I’ve seen. You rock doc!
Great video as usual dude!
I love your approach. I’m learning a lot. Don’t take this the wrong way, but you are the Reading Rainbow of vocal coaching. I keep waiting for you to say, “But don’t take MY word for it.”
Dude! Some of the noises you did was Matt Bellamy spot on! the transition from soft falsetto with a huge vibrato into full voice! You could totally do a Muse song and explain how does he play so freely with his voice :)
Best and most helpful video I've seen in a while! Keep UP!
Dude, I'll start following and reharsing all your lessons.
Plus, congrats on actually making it very fun to watch!
My cat came to check on me when I started trying these.
As a singer that uses extreme compression (check my Periphery or BMTH covers) I have to say that this tutorial is very accurate and trustable! Even though I have some discrepancies, but because every person have their own tone preferencies, which are often produced by this tiny differences between how each singer understands and approaches their own voice!
I've learned more from your videos than I have anywhere else
OMG I AM LOVING THIS LESSON SO MUCH I'm dying of laughter with the sounds I'm making and you're incredibly entertaining and fun to learn from! I just discovered you today! Thank you for your knowledge!!
15:20
FURRYYYYY
FURRRRYYYYY
IIIIMM A FURRYYYY!!!
Opened comment section just with goal of finding this comment x"D
Hahaha! My thoughts exactly!!
Edvard Tot same!! Haha!
Ok I'm not quite there yet :D But I have to say your explanation of mixed voice has totally transformed my singing in just a couple of days of trying. It's not super awesome but I can hit higher notes way easier than I did before and without straining my voice. And this fry thing works aswell while I was trying it in this video :D But I think I'm going to stick with clean for now :D Thank you Chris you have no idea how grateful I am for you sharing this stuff. Cheers from Slovenia.
Another top shelf video Chris. You're gonna take over the internet.
Love your vocal abilities and tips! ✌️
I've been metal screaming for years by trial and error but watching this, you do a great job explaining the things I kinda figured out along the way and I learned a lot of new methods. This video format is honestly the best and most comprehensive I've seen on RUclips so far. Keep up the great work man! Subbed!
Nice dude! Trial and error is a huge pain in the ass! :') I've been slowly trying to work up to screaming, started with just a lot of clean singing practice, then less extreme "rock scream" / mildly distorted vocals, then working on something closer to death/black screams, but man it's difficult to get it consistently. Huge props for being self-taught with shit.
Oh. My. God.
This actually worked, I just managed to scream (okay, screach) two lines distorted with absolutely zero pain or anything.
I'll probably need a year of practice to actually get any proper tone and volume, but I finally understood how it is done, and where the harshness happens.
Thank you, Chris. I never thought this is something I ever would be able to do.
UPDATE???
Your videos are genuinely the best! 😂 loving them all!
Wow thanks a lot ...i asked for this video🤟
OH MY GOD I could do that but some """vocal teachers""" out there on internet were teaching so different and weirdly that I was almost giving up on drives. I watched until 5:39 so far and my drives just got 999% times better thank you!!!!!
I'll marathon your videos lol
This is great to hear!
omg 1 year later after watching this video once a month I finally got it!!! Grit, compression, power... Amazing... Thank you so much!
For those who are still trying, here is what I found out:
The last element I was lacking of was a really strong support. I noticed I made up for my lack of support with vibrato (another topic covered my Chris Liepe). To solve this issue, I tried to really engage my poop muscles to hold long notes without vibrato, and once I figured this out this video made so much sense. I added compression and got the sound I was looking for almost right away.
I think what makes it easier is to get in the spirit and the mindset of a rock singer (as you said in the Dave Grohl video) and not be afraid to make some (loud) silly noises.
Thanks again!
You’re so welcome, I’m glad you had some awesome breakthroughs!
Thank you for this!!! Clarified so many things!!
I am pretty hyped with your series of videos and I am practicing singing more than ever!! 5 stars quality productions!
1:27-1:53 -- anyone else get a bit of a Morgan Rose from Sevendust vibe from those screams? you really got me listening now ...
Great video, man!!! I would love to see a video on how to incorporate more chest into our mix to make that transition more subtle.
Also that editing at 1:28 was awesome, gave me chills!
Thanks! I'll be doing more on mixed voice for sure. I'll make sure and touch on this!
i love this guy. Amazing teacher
A lot of this things seems to be annoying but it’s one of the best ways to discover the what’s and why’s. Getting to to start knowing the feelings and make your corrections.
It's not as intense as you think! (Video clip right after) AHHHHHHHHHH (Veins buldging out, head trembling) lmfao 😂😂😂
16:55 Dave mustaine
I've been learning for several months a type of scream that is a bit different from the one you teach and compression was what was missing for me to take it to the next level. Thank's a lot
I’ve been watching many people try to explain this concept, but you are definitely the best out of everyone I’ve watched. Thank you :)
16:46 is really helpful to practice along to
Thanks man I really wanna sing like my idol Chester Bennington.
Same
Awkward
Best vocal tutorial ever. Nice work mate
Wow! The previous video mentioned is what made me subscribe a couple days ago. AWESOME ! ! !
When at 18:52 he said "teeth" I've felt that
First technique you shows is like the fundamental technique for tuvan throat singing. Pharyngeal singing
You're the best teacher ive seen so far describing the mechanics of all things distortion. Much thanks my friend!!
Excellent Lesson!! Go Chris Go!!
