Lauren Lopez said before she is a classically trained singer and struggles with the very broadway sounding songs. You can definitely tell she feels more comfortable singing more classical sounding songs like When You Gotta Go, but she has also improved a lot and is a very good singer.
It sucks there weren't enough songs to show off her ability in Black Friday. They almost all required her to use her lower register and a specific, darker tone, two things that don't flatter her voice a lot
@@stephenfiora506 I actually disagree, I think she sounded amazing in the lower register and you could tell she'd been practicing and working hard on it. She didn't sound as strong as if she'd been in a higher soprano register but nevertheless she did amazing and I hope she keeps working on this lower register.
@@stephenfiora506 I disagree. In the RUclips recording she was sick, so she doesn't sound her best, but in the cast recording her lower register really shines. The cast recording of Adore Me is really good and her vocals are great imo. As a soprano, Lauren always sounds her best in her high register, but i was very pleasantly surprised by her lower register in Black Friday.
I'm the same way. I was classically trained by a pretty famous opera singer here in Austin and when I moved from performing operas to performing in broadway/travelling musicals/local musicals I had a lot of trouble adjusting to the style.. I think I've got it now though!
Let's just take a moment to appreciate how Lauren has played so many comedic parts with a light-lyric soprano voice. Composers take note! Comedy roles don't always have to belt, let's mix it up cause I'm exhausted haha
Robert Manion is also crazy good at singing when dancing, I'm like what dude how you're doing crazy chest singing and doing a workout at the same time howwww
@@QuikVidGuy just imagine him doing squads and singing for the entire gym (Btw, this is weirdly relatable to me 'coz a singer friend that does rowing with me sings all the goshdarn time, gets kinda annoying but still pretty cool)
I like how unbiased this is. Their strengths and weaknesses makes me realize that they have flaws but that's what makes them wonderful to me. Also, Robert can go from D2 to F5? Holy guacamole my heart is SWOONING Edit: I hope there will be a part two. I hope with Joey Richter and/or Joe Walker
to put it in opera terms Robert would be considered a leggero tenor, that D2 is a bit iffy because he's using vocal fry to get there, I'd his performance range is roughly F2-F5, still great though
Whats weird is that with a lot of the 'weaknesses' clips, I had noticed them sounding off before but couldn't quite figure out why and this has just explained it to me so thank you!
@@leviathan4330 While it was off a bit, I personally thought it added to it, as his character just a bread seller. I like hearing more imperfections in songs because it shows that they're human too. I did notice it off a bit though lmao.
@@riaowhaiwhn3525 Oh definitely. I didn't mean to make it seem like I was dissing Robert or anything. (I love him and everyone else in Starkid far too much to do that) I just normally find myself thinking while watching a Starkid show and thinking, "God they're so perfect" But then an imperfection happens that not only adds more to the character, but also shows a key part of the person singing and gives the reminder, "Hey, they're just people who like doing musicals, not perfect theatre gods or something"
Dov Scheinbach it doesnt matter too much to understanding if you dont know music anyway, but the number is the octave, the capital letter and lowercase b/hashtag is the key/note e.g C#5 is C sharp in the fifth octave Edit: I completely forgot to add what sharp and flat even is oops A flat (lowercase b) is, in the most simple (and slightly inaccurate) terms, a slightly lower sound than the note, while a sharp (#) is a slightly higher sound.
I find it helpful to think of a piano, would that make sense? Applying that to sol phoyu's comment, if you know where the notes, octaves, flats and sharps are then that should help? I think? I'm not great with anything other than basic music theory so 😂 sorry
It’s basically the note that they can hit, so you have your do re mi, which would be the same as C D E, and basically the numbers apply to in which octave it’s in, so the first octave is 1 and so on
Since I used to be a mezzo in high school, I kept thinking "Mariah and Jaime can't be mezzos, their lower ranges are so much higher than mine!" And then I remembered "ohhhhh I'm an alto now"
i think she should sing with her chest voice more because I actually prefer it and i think if she used it more and had more confidence singing that way she would sound amazing. i feel like she goes flat a lot more noticeably when she sings in her head voice.
Not necessary, everybody has some weak spots and it's nothing wrong with it. Even legends like Freddie Mercury had some things in their vocals that could be improved (in his case ability to consistently produce reinforced falsetto, he often skipped falsetto notes when live - examp. A5 from "Under Pressure" - and he's not a bad singer by any means).
Can you make a part 2 including Joey, Jeff, Meredith and Jon? People have debated so much about whether Jeff is actually a good vocalist (mainly bc of his overuse of falsetto in tgwdlm) and I wanna see someone else’s opinion. Especially since you pay such close attention to detail
I don't a lot about this kind of stuff but Jeff is an amazing vocalist! TGWDLM doesn't show how good he is. I also thought he was "meh" before listening to him in The Trail to Oregon. When the World's at Stake (Reprise) illustrates it perfectly in my opinion. The joke with Joey who can't hit the same note as him was like a shock to me because it made me realize how high and powerful it actually was ! It also feels as if it's his best range. It's less showy than The Grind for example though so it isn't as obvious... Jack Bauer definitely was one of his best roles if not THE best one. It was beautifully written (characterisation wise and range ? wise) and I hope he gets to play more roles like this. TGWDLM had him being too goofy and "intense". America is Great Again was his best song and I wish he would be more popular when he plays "serious" parts!
You have really good attention to detail! Can you do a best and worst singing moments/songs for each starkid? Edit: I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed the amazing dynamic changes in not your seed! Mariah does an amazing job with the song (even if the song itself isn't really my favorite)
8:35 I can vouch for that as an Aussie also our tongues resting position makes it harder for high notes, that’s why my alto voice struggles to reach certain notes and my head voice is pretty trashy
i know joe isnt the best singer but PLEASE! he's improved so much and sounds phenomenal in spies are forever, and he's so good at singing in character!!
Mariah's projection and extremely consistent tone should be mentioned as strengths. When I first heard her sing in TGWDLM, I knew right away that she would be the one to end up moving to an actual Broadway role... and of course, she very quickly did!
I'd like to see comparisons between some of the main casts's first performances to their more recent ones. People like Joe and Joey would be interesting to see
Me, not knowing anything about music and singing, not understanding what any of those letters and numbers on the screen mean: Yes yes of course I agree
Just two things that I disagree with. The jaw moving with vibrato doesn't necessarily suggest that the vibrato is forced. I know several people who their jaws just happen to move when they're singing. Second, whenever you said people were nasal, I think you were mistaking that word for bright. It's more likely that the spot in their range that happens is just brighter than the other parts. Other than that really good analysis. If you haven't done a second one already, I really hope you make it and talk about Jeff's falsetto. He can hit the notes, but it sounds really untrained and he has a LOT of intonation issues when he's using it. (PAAAAUUUUUL) sustain anyone?
I don't know much about ranges and music (I was in a church choir and just... never managed to learn much more than how many beats a note was supposed to be held for and that the notes flipped upside down were high notes that my voice hated) so I just want to thank you for putting in all the effort to make this video.
I feel like they all have their weaknesses, but regardless, they are amazing singers and deserve more credit for how well they sing❤ And I love how unbiased all your critiques are😁 Good job!👏👌
Jaime Lyn: strength-growls, weakness-growls Dylan: strength- “Welcoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooome all of you to Hogwarts” weakness- Mega-girl😍 Lauren: strength-being a little boy, weakness-steals the show (and our hearts) too much Robert: strength- face touching, weakness- wig Mariah: strength-everything, weakness- nothing
I really appreciate the honesty in this. I feel like a lot of fan videos are just "Strength: Everything - Weakness: Nothing". Which is obvious not always a bad thing, everyone else to support their favorite artist whole-heartedly. But it's also good tp see that even great singers have their weak points, and theres a lot to learn from that both from a viewers POV and an artists.
I loved this! It was extremely fun to watch and it's also fun to watch more stuff on actual singing techniques since I left my previous choir. I'd love to see more on these!
What you say about Mariah’s chest mix and stuff reminds me of pre-hiatus Patrick Stump from Fall Out Boy. He’s an amazing singer, but he used to use his chest voice to sing high notes. When he did this, you couldn’t really understand what he was saying because of the strain on the notes. He doesn’t do that anymore, but you can hear it in the early work before the band went on hiatus (this was 9 years ago when they announced it, so he’s obviously gotten work on it.) Okay I’m done
Was waiting for my boy Joey, but happy that all my other favorites were here instead. :D Nice analysis (At least I think that's what it was XD) of the vocals. I was super surprised by Robert and Lauren (I thought Lauren could go higher) But not really surprised by Jamie and Mariah.
This was a really well made and researched vid!!! I was expecting something more on layman’s terms and was really pleasantly surprised. The only thing I’d say is that I think Robert’s high belt can sound forced at times, a la Twisted. You could tell he was straining. It may have been the choreo, it may have been his technique.
On Jaimes the last weakness (about her sounding like she’s shouting) I actually really like that about her, too me it makes it more powerful and more just like Jaime. Idk maybe I’m biased but I really do like that. It’s actually one of the reasons she’s my favorite starkid actor. I was surprised when you put on her weaknesses.
I love how you played a clip of Robert Manion singing "Show Stopping Number" as you had his estimated full range up on the screen, because, like, 3.7 octaves is definitely a show stopping number in my book.
I'm pretty sure Jaime's range doesn't go up to D7. That's incredibly high, even coloratura sopranos would struggle. It sounds squeaked. She's an amazing singer those, her belts are phenomenal!
I was thrilled to see a clean and technical analysis of these vocalist. As I love them all, and listen to them on repeat, you notice some of the areas that are lacking in and this video was a very nice explanation of it. I also love the addition of range!!!!
writing this in 2021, after having watched the DVD of homecoming, clips from Starry (with Dylan and Mariah), and slime tutorials from the Mean Girls NT, the improvement each of them has made is incredible! Dylan rarely forces vibrato, Jaime has leaned into a more supported belt instead of manipulating her larynx, Mariah sounds better overall, and Lauren has improved her belt a lot. As a vocal student, I'm super impressed with all of their progress and it's a huge inspiration to me. Some other excellent starkid/tcb voices that i'd love to see you cover: Curt Mega, Kim Whalen, Joe Walker, Brian Holden, Meredith Stepien, AJ Holmes, Clark Baxtresser.
This is honestly so good for so many reasons, as a singer myself watching extremely talented people and taking note that they have strengths and weaknesses in their voice is helpful.
I had this video in mind when I watched black friday-I noticed that dylan has definitely ironed out that forced vibrato thing!! It’s amazing to see them all improve!
8:38 i know this part with his voice during "he's the reason for our many wars" (8:44) is something you list as weakness but I actually kind of really love it
I think mariah gets extra points for singing dead girl walking while sitting down I don't know alot about singing but my mom used to do chior and according to her it's easier to hit notes when you're standing
This is really great. Also its great that most of the weaknesses are stylistic choices. Id love a part 2 with people like joey, joe, both the brians, meredith? This was such a cool video.
This is really interesting to me. Especially after Black Friday because I feel like Lauren really showed a different part of her voice in songs like Adore Me. I would be really interested in another one of these videos. Good content!
i just want to say that this video was super entertaining and extremely informational and knowledgeable and moved at a good pace for me to process everything and the clips supported the points so well and WOW anyway i rlly liked this lol

Me, knowing nothing about the technical parts of singing: hehe, good voices.
I thought this was going to be like a "hey look at them singing" but it was like a full diagnostic. Really cool.
*i like your funny words magic man*
**Jfk intensifies**
On Jaimes the last weakness (about her sounding like she’s shouting) I actually really like that about her, too me it makes it more powerful and more just like Jaime. Idk maybe I’m biased but I really do like that. It’s actually one of the reasons she’s my favorite starkid actor. I was surprised when you put on her weaknesses.
i LIVE for vocal analysis of people, please make more!
don’t know why this analysis is something that the world greatly needs, but it does
Ok but I love Lauren Lopez and her high notes give me l i f e
Idk much about the technicals but all i know is that Jamie’s voice is fucking beautiful
_Thank you for coming to my Ted talk_ (no pun intended)
So in conclusion, Robert manion is a gift from god. Vids always place Dylan as starkid’s strongest male singer but I really think it’s Robert
As a voice major in college, this was such a pleasure to watch
this might be my favorite Starkid fan video, truly fascinating
I love how you played a clip of Robert Manion singing "Show Stopping Number" as you had his estimated full range up on the screen, because, like, 3.7 octaves is definitely a show stopping number in my book.
I'm pretty sure Jaime's range doesn't go up to D7. That's incredibly high, even coloratura sopranos would struggle. It sounds squeaked. She's an amazing singer those, her belts are phenomenal!
I was thrilled to see a clean and technical analysis of these vocalist. As I love them all, and listen to them on repeat, you notice some of the areas that are lacking in and this video was a very nice explanation of it. I also love the addition of range!!!!
writing this in 2021, after having watched the DVD of homecoming, clips from Starry (with Dylan and Mariah), and slime tutorials from the Mean Girls NT, the improvement each of them has made is incredible! Dylan rarely forces vibrato, Jaime has leaned into a more supported belt instead of manipulating her larynx, Mariah sounds better overall, and Lauren has improved her belt a lot.
As a vocal student, I'm super impressed with all of their progress and it's a huge inspiration to me.
Some other excellent starkid/tcb voices that i'd love to see you cover: Curt Mega, Kim Whalen, Joe Walker, Brian Holden, Meredith Stepien, AJ Holmes, Clark Baxtresser.
Man I wish I could understand literally anything this video says
This is honestly so good for so many reasons, as a singer myself watching extremely talented people and taking note that they have strengths and weaknesses in their voice is helpful.
I had this video in mind when I watched black friday-I noticed that dylan has definitely ironed out that forced vibrato thing!! It’s amazing to see them all improve!
When a natural baritone hits up at that g4 *swoooooooooon*
McSwoon
don’t forget lauren’s Bb6 at the end of inevitable
8:38 i know this part with his voice during "he's the reason for our many wars" (8:44) is something you list as weakness but I actually kind of really love it
I would really love to see this exact video again but with the new performers they've had in the last five years
I think mariah gets extra points for singing dead girl walking while sitting down I don't know alot about singing but my mom used to do chior and according to her it's easier to hit notes when you're standing
It’s so awesome to see how even with everyone’s weakness they still crush *everything* they do
A perfect video to show that they're all very talented but even with the insane talents they have they still have weaknesses :)
Every time the weaknesses portions come up the only thing that screams through my mind is “DON’T BE MEAN TO LAUREN”
Dylan has never been off key in his life
This is really great. Also its great that most of the weaknesses are stylistic choices.
Id love a part 2 with people like joey, joe, both the brians, meredith? This was such a cool video.
This is really interesting to me. Especially after Black Friday because I feel like Lauren really showed a different part of her voice in songs like Adore Me. I would be really interested in another one of these videos. Good content!
i just want to say that this video was super entertaining and extremely informational and knowledgeable and moved at a good pace for me to process everything and the clips supported the points so well and WOW anyway i rlly liked this lol
