- Hello Singderellos
In this video I react to an amazing extreme vocals maserclass! AKA 'Kingdom' by Devin Townsend. In this video, I am watching this performance for the very first time and I analyse his performance and vocal technique.
Here's a link to the original video!

I'm so excited to be a part of your singing journey, It's one that truly never ends.
Love you forever,

.p.s. Sorry about the intense lighting change towards the end. I fought the sun so much recording this and eventually the sun won. But then again it is the sun so I guess that's a lot to be up against, so, you know. I just hope it doesn't ruin it too much for u. If it did, please blame the sun because it is less emotionally vulnerable than me.

During an interview, someone once asked Devin what he thought of all the reaction videos analysing his style of singing. Devin said "I'm... I'm just yelling..."
Devin accidentally performing advanced vocal techniques? 100% on brand
Devin doesn't take himself seriously, and gets really nervous on camera, so when he's goofing around its a nervous reaction.
@@jaksilver3656 He seems to have the "class clown" ability to charm people, but also the skills to keep the haters at bay. Devin is a unicorn in a sea of "try-hard but not hard enough" people who tke themselves too seriously. He really gets it, that this is entertainment and art, not something to be taken too seriously.
@@chadperkins8406 "And music? It's just entertainment, folks!" - Devin, from "Earth Day".
@@jaksilver3656 reminds me of a QA session I was watching a while back. He was asked about his vocal technique. The response was "first... ummm... panic"
Devin Townsend - "Why?" live quarantaine; "Deadhead" live Royal Albert Hall; "Funeral/Bastard/Death of Music" live @ Royal Albert Hall.
Why does everyone cream themselves over Deadhead? It's 10+ minutes of tedious repetition with really not much in the way of vocal range from Devin. I get that if you like that type of thing then it's for you, but in terms of being good for a vocal reaction and analysis it's bad.
Watch RVA's reaction on it, she was bored shitless.
That deadhead version is fantastic
@@00acleland Hard to describe why Deadhead is among my favorite of his live performances. Maybe not his most athletic, but there is an intensity to it and a sadness.
@@216trixie Not disagreeing on the artistic merit of the performance, just saying that every vocal coach that has done it on RUclips has been visibly bored out of their mind. It's not a good vocal coach reaction video.
@@00acleland Agreed. I think it's a great first timer video.
"I would play with him...under supervision" LOL same
pussys lol
Cracked me up. Both knowledgeable and funny.
We have our Lana and Lex just need a boring Clark.
That was the funniest comment. 😅
“I’m very curious to see what else he does and how else he uses his vast array of sounds he has available, all of his screams, onsets, and… faces...”
She will take all of this information and sit on it... to contemplate.
one of these days you're gonna have to perform a song for us. You're one of the few voice coaches on youtube who can actually demonstrate the techniques you're explaining.
Another good one would be Kardavox academy
@@TheAngryMoth104 or The Charismatic Voice a professional opera singer
Afaik she has another channel with her own songs on youtube.
EDIT: Yes she does. You can find it linked in the channels. It is however a video uploades 5 days ago as of this writing so... it was not there when you made your post, obviously 😅
Yeah, this is why I just subbed.
@@TheAngryMoth104 I agree. I saw his analytic videos before I discovered Kardashev. The dude has angelic clean vocals.
You are the literal best vocal coach reactor. You actually know what you are talking about with harsh vocals and other techniques. This is greatly appreciated from someone like me who does harsh vocals. On top of that, you have shown in several videos that you can replicate the sounds yourself. This is the cherry on top of it all.
Oh my gawwdd Brody you wonderful kind lovely human thank you so much!! Harsh vocals represent a human pushing their physical anatomy to its maximum capability to produce something magical which to me is what life is all about. I lurve it. Thank you again, so much love to you xo
You can mimic the sounds we are watching, which helps us understand what singers are doing vocally. Talent.
God I fucking love your technical breakdowns. They're so detailed AND THEN YOU DEMONSTRATE THEM. Hell yeah.
YOUR SCREAM!! 😍 also- never thought I’d see your entire personality on a shirt!
hahahahahaha I LOVE care bears 🥰 xo
@@TheFairyVoiceMother your love of colour reminds me of my fav HARAJUKU GIRL kure channel ruclips.net/video/sbQhaWtdqf8/видео.html ever heard of her?
She seemed quite proud of that.. and surprised 😊
lmao your editing and humor is on point
The second sneeze fucking destroyed me.
The Fairy: "No one can just slam constantly distorted vocals..."
Alex Terrible (Slaughter to Prevail): "Hold my vodka."
I'll 2nd for slaughter to prevail 😊
Chuck Schuldiner was the godfather of that vodka.
@@tvadakia Solstice from Miami
new singer Ryan Taylor as well!!! check out their new track $Cast the Die$
OK.. this made me laugh out loud :)
or literally every death metal/hardcore/metalcore/death core/black metal/metal vocalist ever??????
There's something awesome about watching a true professional at work. Which is why we all love your videos.
You're wonderful, thank you and love you with my whole heart xo
You are now my favorite Vocal Coach reactor.
Ahh! Love you xo
Deadhead
Shes the most technical. Medical even. Nerd
Mine, too. 😄
Love how (out of so many vocal coaches) you are actually able to closely mimic and to explain most of the techniques used by the performers you're reviewing.
Kudos on the probably insane amount of work you had to put in for this skill!
Devin Townsend - Death of music live is mind blowing vocal!
I think that from a vocalist perspective, the way this song goes should be one of the most interesting ones. Also I don't think there's been a single reaction from a Voice teacher's perspective on that one, despite it being so much more than kingdom !
Yeah, definitly. I think it's far more interesting than the often requested Deadhead. And it's also quite minimal from the instrumental part - which is quite unusual for his music -, so his voice is much more in the focus.
I’ve watched at least 20 of the coach reactions to this song. You are by FAR the most capable of dissecting the actual vocal performance. You have an incredible voice yourself. This should be at the top of the list for the “reacts to kingdom” videos
By the end of the year you'll be up there with the most popular vocal coaches on RUclips. I'd bet my shoes on it.
me too, cute as all hell and knowledgeable, perfect
Thank you so much oh my gosh that'd be bizarre!!! xo
@@TheFairyVoiceMother i get the distinct impression you can handle a little bit of bizarre :)
I've been telling them FVM sets the nerd medtech standard, it's not even close. On emotional expression techniques Soprano Notes is the best so far I think. Watch her discuss Lara Fabian.
Yeah!
“I would play with him, under supervision.” … I almost spit my coffee. 🤣☠ Great reaction and analysis.
You're adorable, and very talented/knowledgeable. You're awesome! ♥
Smashed it again Lolli 😍 I was really hoping you might get around to this performance, but what a fantastic surprise today! Nobody but nobody on YT has even tried to demonstrate what Devin's doing. But there you go, flapping your fabulous vocal chords about again showing us EXACTLY what he's doing.
God bless you, you nutty little thing.
Onwards to 1M views!
Oh Nige!!! You are so so lovely my goodness, thank you so much. 💜 xo
I'm sitting here, i cannot sing at all, i don't even want to learn it, but i'm watching this spectacular lady and her videos in awe. 🥰😆
I have to say, you are one of the best Vocal Coach people in reviews, you actually produce the sounds and explain what IS going on, well done
How have you not been in my recommended list until now? You're the first that seems to actually be able to replicate the techniques! You earned a sub
I’ve watched numerous reaction videos to this song, and I have to say you’re the first to describe his technique in such detail. Very informative, thank you.
His quarantine concert version of "Why" is epic and COMPLETELY different to this, but I REALLY like the live version of "Higher" from Plovdiv, Bulgaria. "Devin Townsend Project - Higher ! Live Plovdiv (Blu-Ray)". It's amazing how he mixes depressing or angry content with lyrics that end up being very uplifting. Love your reactions!
3:10 this sneeze is pure art and i'm marking it for my self in here 😂 much love respect 😍
There's no reason those sneezes should've been so funny to me, but here we are
Holy crap, I've watched dozens of "vocal coach" reacts videos and you're the first to actually do what the singers are doing. First Jinjer and Now this. SUBSCRIBED!
This is one of the first of your videos I’ve ever watched. It’s been like 2 3 years now.
Just wanna say Lolli. You’ve been a bright star in my quiet little life and thank you.
You seem to know everything on technicality and funny (and pretty) and you reproduce it ! That's very enjoyable to be honest aha. I hope you'll have visibility is the future :)
Bless you hehe thank you so much. I'm so happy you like the videos xo
I have been listening to this guy for 20 years, he has SO much incredible music. Its crazy.
The first thing I downloaded illegally like 18 years ago was the video for Wrong Side.
It's very interesting that you say he 'paints a picture': Devin has synesthesia, sound and vision are mingled for him (I think the neurological explanation for it is crosstalk between the optic and audial nerves) and he's said that notes have shape and colour; so for him at least, there is a literal picture he's painting.
You'd think I'd be tired of watching people react to Kingdom after so many years, but I get an incredible amount of joy watching experienced vocalists lose their minds hearing this man. Watching everyone melt is priceless 🤣
Next Devin Townsend -Why live. Beautiful, impressive vocals in a Disney kind of song ;)
ruclips.net/video/Fgrik7HDKQ4/видео.html
Yes!!!
Seriously, that performance is just pure joy. Devin's a treasure.
Devin is my favourite Disney Princess
yesss, and is a not adulterared voice performance
And just like that, you've become my favourite Vocal Coach Reacts channel. I can't sing for shit, but I love the descriptions of the techniques used and you also give examples using your own voice. Fantastic! Keep going! I can't wait for more!
I said it on the jinjer reaction and I'll say it again. You've got one hell of a metal scream in you. Also it's only a matter of time before you end up reacting to spiritbox. Rule of nines - their most recent performance on a radio station is my favourite (the session is in parts so you'll have to get time stamps to find the right part). It's on their RUclips page. Or one of their one take performances. Courtney is a beast.
oh my gawwwsh. Thank you so much! She's come up so much in the comments, i'm so excited to hear Courtney. Lots of love xo
Spiritbox for sure!
@@TheFairyVoiceMother If you end up checking Spiritbox, please also take a look at The Mara Effect live at Silverside Sound, it is a lot longer, but I promise it worths every second, it really shows not only the power of Courtney's clean vocals, but the skills of the band as a whole, they're awesome! Then, if you want to dig into Courtney's trajectory, you can check up iwrestledabearonce (a comedy band) and Unicron, her previous bands, it's really amazing to see how much she has evolved.
I might be wrong, but that’s labeled, Spiritbox Rules of Nines one take performance, and it’s wonderful. And hilarious. You’ll see.
Devin is my favorite singer ever. And he's also such an amazing human being. Thank you for this amazing reaction/analysis.
As some others have suggested before me, Why, especially the quarantine charity version, is a good song if you want less effects and his voice front and center of the song.
Devi is such an amazing Character. On and Off stage, goofy as all hell with a brilliant musical mind. hope you dive more into his music its worth the deep dive
"I'd play with him, with supervision." Made me laugh so hard It caused a coughing fit. Thank you love, great vid
best vocal reaction coach I've seen on RUclips
You are VERY fun to watch (just like Devin!) I must say!
I'd love to see a video on anything by Opeth in the future!
Release the Archers - Awakening or Tonight we ride is also a song that's usually very requested and fun to watch!
PS: Devin Townsend - Why could be the video you're looking after!
I believe all parents and puppy owners are amazing at glottal onsets.
"HEY! OUTTA THAT CAT BOX!"
hahaha omg its true!
🤣🤣🤣
I practice glottal onset all the time; I can even do several in one phrase. "WHAT is THAT on my FLOOR?!?!"
Everything about you is lovely! Thank you for this reaction, can't wait to see you react to more Jinjer! Gojira would be great too!
Bless you thank you so much! Sounds good to me xo
Yay! Finally a new video from you :) And a great one as always!
I just found your channel and I'm thrilled! I love your energy and how you explain things. So happy you're making videos 👍
Damn you really know your stuff. I've seen dozens of Devin's vocal analysis' and nobody gave such an accurate breakdown of what's going on, not to mention the fact that you were able to reproduce it just because you clearly understand how singing works. You're awesome, keep up the good work!
You're brilliant ! 💕
i like your humor and tech analysis combo ! love it
You are hands down the best reaction video I have seen to Devin Townsend yet. Well done, you super awesome human you....
This guy is a real workhorse. Like 2 albums a year, not counting the 5 on which he is producer.
That's absolutely amazing! xo
yep Strapping Young Lad, also sang for Steve Vai
He wrote the Casualties of Cool project with Ché Aimee Dorval while on tour as a way to 'decompress'. He never seems to stop.
@counselthyself unless you count choir as a kid
Those glottal onset movements 😂😂 how does one present them nicely ahaha, you did a great job!! Great reaction again 😁 and that sneeze haha 😂
Owh my lord i know darling hahaha! The lil pharyngeal butt hole hehe. Lots of love to you, thank you xo
Hands-down the best technical analysis of Devy I've seen! Plus you're fun and super talented! I can tell you've really taken the time to understand what he's doing, otherwise, you wouldn't be able to replicate it so precisely. Devy fans love Devy unequivocally, but we also love to watch people and vocal coaches see him for the first time. I believe you're one of the few that have the chops to keep up with him and give his fans insight into his uncanny talent. Subbed!
This is my first time watching you. You have an *immediate* point of difference from most vocal coach reaction videos, in that you don't just talk about what the singer is doing, you demonstrate it yourself. This was so good! Subscribed. :)
For a more "wholesome" and lifting experience, go for Grace at the Retinal Circus (but be warned as you can fall in love with Anneke as well).
For some voice powerhouse, check your his Quarantine session of "Why"
I stumbled upon your channel today and I really enjoy your way of reacting to music. Especially the metal songs. When you imitated Tatyana from Jinjer I was hooked! Impressive!
Only other coach who tried was the delightful Ceci Dover. She cackled delightedly just after.
Watching and listening Devin live in a concert hall is a life gift.
I have not seen any of the Vocal Coaches on YT with more passion for what they do than you, don't ever change that.
Also the way you break down the techniques used and replicate them so flawlessly is astounding. Love the fact that I can watch the entertainment part of it but also be educated at the same time. I'm an absolute newbie at vocals, but a total geek, so love this stuff.
You gotta do Opeth now "Ghost of Perdition" from the roundhouse tapes would be nice.
Devin Townsend - Bring Him Home (live - acoustic guitar) - Les Miserables.
the CBC version isn't available on RUclips (Is still available on FaceBook) but it has a very Devin finale to it!
You're curently my favourite vocal coach reactor, I love your reactions and your breakdowns. I maintain that you give the most comprehensive instruction on what they're all doing, let alone with demonstrations. Another amazing video!!
I think you'd really enjoy listening to Heilung.
Suddenly you showed up in my Recs. Love your content, your analysis is insightful. I subbed, thank you very much.
I'm so in. Love this song.
Some suggestions to throw out there. Ih Ah with Anneke van Giersbergen. His Casualties of Cool Dunlop session doing the song Mountaintop. His acoustic version of Bring Him Home from Les Miserables. Yup he did that. Pretty much anything from his live concert from Royal Albert Hall or Plovdiv.
Best reaction I've seen - love how you actually demonstrate things
I just discovered your amazing channel and have to say that you're doing an incredible job breaking all the techniques down and demonstrate them. But the best thing is your positive energy and humor :D You laugh is amazing! Keep it up!
just a comment to rate this video up ;D
Bless your dear heart 😍💜
Oh! So happy you saw Mr. Townsend. Like your mix of reaction and analysis. Would love to see you do another Diana Ankudinova video. Maybe Rechenka? Sending love from South Africa.
lucky enough to have met him and he’s amazing
well spoken, confident, funny and knows exactly who and what he is. so humble and satisfying to be around
we were only meant to get one autograph each and he signed every single thing that every person bought and took photos
amazing dude
I must have seen every single damn reaction to this video of Devin Townsend all over RUclips during this quarantine ... and yours is the first where I find detailed and convincing explanations about his singing style. And definitely the only one in which the person commenting on the video demonstrates real vocal capabilities.
All my respect.
As someone who makes their rounds on reaction channels (especially the ones that react to metal), I cannot tell you how refreshing your videos are! The only other vocal coach reactor I trust aside from you is Mary Z of Voicehacks-and she’s in a metal band. So...what I mean is that it’s lovely to see you becoming more comfortable doing more metal-style vocals. Your channel is going to be huge.
With that being said, my top reaction recommendations are Leprous, Spiritbox, and Unleash the Archers. Einar, Courtney, and Brittney, respectively, are among some of the best vocalists in metal (aside from Tatiana of Jinjer and Devy). Much love to you. 🖤🤘🏻
Vocal coach joins RUclips
Gets bombarded with Devin Townsend, Jinjer and Nightwish requests
Down the rabbit hole we go.
Devin is awesome! Many thanks for explanations. :)
actually love watching singers react, just watching them subconciously mimic the mouth positions is so much fun. keep up the great work and nice singing chops also!
Great vid. I’ve seen a couple but now you’ve done Devy I’ve hit subscribe. He’s my all time favourite artist and you’re now dangerously close to going down the rabbit hole that is his back catalogue. I’d love you to check out something from his latest album Empath. Maybe “Why?” from his quarantine concert? Bit of a change of pace from this track for sure!
aw yaaaaay welcome!! I'm so happy. Thanks for the suggestion, sounds like a plan xo
you know how "they" say never meet your heroes? Well Devy is one that will not disappoint. Caught him after an acoustic show when he was loading the bus and he took about 20 minutes to chat with me and my girlfriend, signed his book, and even drew a picture in it. I guess it's the Canadian in him but he's mad chill.
I've probably seen all Kingdom reactions to date - yours is the most beautiful *and* in-depth of them all.
Ugggg i just adore you!! You are so fun
Is there anything that you can't reproduce in female and male vocals? )) Please, please make some covers for us, I am sure it's going to be wonderful. Stay safe. ))
Owh bless you! I will sooon I promise xo
@@TheFairyVoiceMother yes, yes, please! I can't wait! :-)
Please reproduce Dimash's D8 from his Unforgettable Day song at Gakku concert.
@@Perktube1 That's for dolphins only. Still we never know... )))
@Perktube1 go write your 9th symphony 💕💕💕
Have you heard the Sound of Silence by The Disturbed? I’d like the hear, and see, your unique take on the vocals.
oooooh! I must check it out xo
@@TheFairyVoiceMother If you do, check out the live performance from Conan, rather than the music video.
@@TheFairyVoiceMother ooh, my son is gonna be pissed that you answered me.haha....we only discovered you yesterday, and he already said you are going to teach him how to sing
@@TheFairyVoiceMother Ahhh someone already suggested it! :D I said the same as well. Lovely song!
Another great review Lolli. always the best :-)
Thank you soooo much xo
Your reactions genuinely gives me smiles!
Devy is God, pride of canada
This is so great, always learn something from your vids. Would love to see your thought on something like LEPROUS - Slave (Live At Rockefeller Music Hall) or maybe TesseracT - Hexes feat. Martin Grech - Live in the Studio both phenomenal vocal performances
Oh hell yes, she has to hear Einar! Dan too! Both great suggestions.
LEPROUS - Castaway angels is in my opinion a better display of Einars and bands mastery and artistry.
You're so much fun to watch. Great reaction.
I love finding vocal coach reacts channels that I didn't know about, BRB watching all of your videos!
Would love love LOVE to see you do a reaction to "Awakening" by Unleash The Archers!
Hey GORGEOUS Fairy 🧚♀️
ok, it may not be most wanted BUT
AMORPHIS 'Towards and Against' live,
is a must hear! and as i said earlier:
ANY GIVEN DAY 'DIAMONDS' Rihanna Cover
i love that you explain the technique, then demonstrate it spot on. great job! im definitely subbing 👍
Full of insight as always, as I'm sure all your fans who enjoy this genre will appreciate. Nice shirt BTW.
How come no one talks about how he's doing all that while blazing away on the guitar 🤣 ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!
I was so entertained i was i was i was just overwhelmed hehe
Yup. And we're not talking about the infamous guitar solo, here, but the rythm during the song which is nothing like the rythm he's singing. (Not sure I use the correct term here, since I'm from Sweden. Also: not a guitar player, but from my viewpoint the rythm he uses while singing are quite complicated. The solo is not, which is the joke/wise-assing from him to us.)
@@Hummingbirder1 the statement that it is the greatest guitar solo in the history of the show is actually true since he was the first guest lol. But you already knew that. :)
What's amazing about him is that he has no form of training. He hates watching reactions to his music because he has no idea technically whats going on with his voice. It's pure natural talent.
P.S. that vocal fry you did was very immpessive. Most people with years of training still can't do that.
He did go to three training sessions when he joined Steve Vai but the only thing he wanted to know was how to scream without causing damage to his voice.After those three training sessions he never went back.
@@scyphe Good info. I didn't know that.
I heard he had vocal lessons after Accelerated Evolution... I could be wrong, though.
you are hilarious! loving these quite informative reactions.
Hi there!
I don't really comment on videos but I wanted to take a moment and thank you for your videos. They're not only informative but there's a positivity and you seem to have such an honest love for what you're doing that's infectious. In a world that often seems to be getting more and more unabashedly unpleasant, your quirk and joy for what you're doing is a sure fire way to help put all that stuff aside for a few minutes whenever you release a new video.
Keep up the good work and you're an A+ human being. :)
If you want acoustic you can hear him singing "Bring Him Home".
Wasn't that on the Christmas concert?
@@rog2224 it was, but i preffer the version with the audience from 2019
"devinstated", LOL! If I wasn't already subscribed, that would have done it! :)
hahahaha you can always ely on me for a dad joke/ terrible pun. Loads of love to you Michelle xo
I have watched many reviews by vocal coaches of this Devin Townsend video and I found yours the most interesting. It was filled with a lot of information about how Devin is producing his vocal sound and you actually duplicated them while explaining it. You were also entertaining and had great video editing. This is the first video of yours that I have seen. I immediately subscribed and look forward to watching your other videos. I hope there are many more. Cheers!
youre awesome! great analysis and explanation. outstanding.
Cute as a bu'in !! :>)
Then you you’ll get recommendations for Why. That’s more of a Disney style movie song.
You're the best! You deserve way more subscribers! I can't wait to see what you break down next.
This the most explaining reaction I've seen. Thank you for that. For people like me, that are not into singing themselves it makes things more understandable. Really enjoyed your video.thanks.
