Learn to support your voice in a way that allows you sing songs that are normally too high for you... Join my free course! chrisliepe.com/free-your-voice/
Hi Chris, great job, thank you! I'll definitely try this out. As usual - practice is everything... All the best!
You sound a bit like the Rev from ax7 sometimes when you go into your mixed voice
Instructions unclear, I now sound like a squeaky toy.
That’s the first step!
😂
😂😂😂
*This song is definitely out of my range*, continues with most beautiful rendition ever heard
that's exactly what I thought too 😭😭
I've listened to this intro 50 times. I never really liked this tune til I heard you sing it. I hope you let us have the full version!
Wow that "To tell you" head voice transition is so pretty!!! (0:34)
Damn bro, you killed that song in the beginning! Killed it in a good way… You did good
As a church singer, most of the songs I have to sing are arranged so that the baritones can sing comfortably in the lower octave while the sopranos can sing comfortably in the higher octave. Unfortunately for me as a high tenor, this puts me in the awkward position of many songs being too low to sing low and too high to sing high and 99% of the time, it is better and easier for me to sing in the higher register. While I can still sing most songs no problem, the key is endurance something which I learned the hard way two weeks ago when my voice started to hurt after a two hour rehearsal and I couldn't make it through the final chorus of the first song. Thankfully the second song was easier and by the time the sermon was over, my voice had recovered enough to sing the high notes again. I am reminded of the need to be intentional about how I use my voice and this approach of backing off on certain notes and bringing in the power where it matters most is definitely something to keep in mind.
You are an amazing teacher and a gift to anyone who's willing to learn and experience what it is to become a vocalist. For your channel, I was just a drummer, then I learned guitar and now, thanks to you I'm recording my own music because you've taught me what it is to have a voice of my own. Salute
I had a major breakthrough, yesterday. Your videos have been a huge help.
This is great! I like singing female lines as its a fun challenge but I do sometimes struggle with the high notes 'cos I do it in head voice but I need it full-bodied. It'd be cool if you went through 4 Non-Blondes - What's Up. She's singing all over the place in that one!
That'd be a brilliant example!
this is just what I needed! thank you Chris!! 😃
I love this approach! Great lesson Chris! Thank you
You are fantastic, I am addicted to your channel!
Thank you for these amazing insights coach .
Amazing as always!!!
This is amazing, and the kind of thing that other teachers don't demonstrate with this much detail.
Amazing. Thanks for all the incredible content. 😀
Absolutely marvelous! Need a full cover of this song in your interpretation!
Such a good teacher, thanks for the experience and the sharing
Its like the same process of learning new guitar parts that are to fast or to complicated for your current skill
Yesssss!!
Or recording guitars. I’ll do 30 takes of a solo trying to get the right pinch harmonics, vibrato. For some reason I lack the patience with my own voice but need to have a similar strategy like he’s showing.
Amazing lesson 🤘
Another great lesson, very helpful, thank you.
Hey Chris, I've been following you for a while now. Good stuff, thanks. This one is pure gold! Much appreciated!! ❤
This is so good! I can't wait to get home and try it
Unique and very valuable video! This is definitely how I'm goin to approach challenging songs from now on. Thanks for your time and effort!👌
You are fucking great at explaining these things and I love it!!!
beautiful chris, the thing I love the most is watching your own voice growing with time just as our voices grow thanks to you! the realest teacher
This is so gold
Sheesh, video gave me a lot of help, gonna start the free course now. MAybe I can finally squeeze out some voice there :D great vid
GREAT lesson! I've stumbled on this like most of my techniques over the years lol.
We need that version here on youtube, spotify or whatever but soon 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great lesson Chris! Thank you. Muscle memory, calculated/rehearsed, keeping it light - all great takeaways for me ❤
i have been trying sooo hard to try to access my mixed voice and i actually think that calming down and just letting the tone resonate comfortably instead of belting with all my breath feels so much better. your "tiiiiimes" is exactly what i've been doing and i feel as though i have so much more breath to hold the note.
You're just so good at this stuff hahaha made me want to cover this song eventually
This is a lovely technique and practice style. Nicely explained! Thanks! I think this "targeting" can be useful in almost all elements of singing that we all struggle with as we navigate the journey.
Great singing with the Adele song man!!
Hi from Russia, Chris!
So grateful to you for your videos! You are a real vocal maniac in a perfect sense! Thank you!!
My singing is just a hobby. But. All my way through has been tied with the the lack of the range. And your help is really important for me.
Hi mottherrussia bud :D, what city are you from? I'm from Novosibirsk, also learning from Sensei Chris's videos, and this is probably the best material that I found on RUclips for half a year of my training.
P.s. Chris, sup, keep it up)
Я тоже с Новосиба)))
The thumbs actually help me know what I'm hearing. Like subtitles, but i like it.
This is a valuable lesson
That rendition of Hello gave me goosebumps, epic!
I discovered this approach as well. For me it was "dang, I'm annoyed by how this note sounds, let's see if I can reach a version where I like how the note sounds"
excited to delve into this one, as a baritone talker that wishes to be more of a tenor singer. best teacher on youtube
Damn you're good.
this is a blessing for baritones like me
baritones and tenors do the same things to sing well, categorizing is nonsense
Us who sounds like friggin James Earl Jones still strugglin :(
Hey Chris, thanks for another leasson! Your pitch videos had been really usefull to me and I'm doing crazy latetly when it comes to power mix voice in my middles and head voice when I go over the fifth octave, but still I'm struggling with the gritty distortion voice, I end up sounding like a pop singer sometimes ha ha.
I like it how you take time as we would. Like a raw draft until the final result.
I didn’t know you could sing my guy, that’s sweet 💪🏼💪🏼
Dang Dude!!! I always thought of you as a Voicecoach, but I just ordered a guitar course from Truefire by you. I had no idea that you were such a good guitar player!!!
I've never thought about using muscle memory to my advantage like this, most of my favorite songs are all out of my range or in most cases very difficult to sing cleanly without breaking for me so I'll definitely be trying this out, thank you so much!
thank you, was discussing this kinda thing with a friend last night 🤟
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hey chris, i love your channel and love how you explain the things and make them more easier to understand. Can you make a video about extending the vocal range and how to do exercises to do that correctly? thanks!
Check out any of my playlists on expanding your range. I’ve linked to one of them at the end of this video!
@@chrisliepe Thank you so much, teacher! I'll check this out right now!
Hopefully this video was inspired by Taka's cover of this song that you did an analysis of awhile back. Awesome stuff.
Fits perfectly with how i'm practicing now with pulling up my chest voice.
Once again Chris, you're putting into words things I've done many times to work up to songs that were initially too high for me. I'm a baritone with some tenor range. But when I'm well practiced and warmed up, I can get well into the soprano range. I can sing Steve Perry or scream like Rob Halford, for example. I did it, exactly how you're showing people in this video. That was me in my teens and twenties. I'm just a little over a year from turning sixty and can still do that stuff. It's all about emphasis on certain notes or even passages. I've even practiced vocal runs similar to the one in this video. There's a lot of those things in R&B, soul and gospel music. Lots of fun to learn and practice. Every time a singer does this, they essentially add another tool to their tool box. Learn to belt? Cool. Now learn to sing like Billie Eilish. Hugely different style. All fun and all cool vocal tool development.
This is a great video. I've been trying to sing Levitate by Sleep Token and there are some parts where it goes out of "my range". I'll definitely try your tips!
❤❤❤
I can’t wait to try this on Alexisonfire’s Sans Soleil
So precious. I got a mixed light voice doing it, but yes i can reach pitch out of my chest range in a more powerful way. And i try to put some grit in it, but my grit is a bit weird like a saturated high frequency speaker.
How are you a baritone, with a deeper voice than me (im a tenor alto) but able to sing the song way better than me. Real talk you are an amazing singer.
This definitely will come in handy when trying to nail those Chris Cornell mixed voice phrases
cool! some chorus parts remind me of Jonny Craig raspy vocal, interesting cover man!
Thank you for the awesome tips as always. After 13 years of singing lessons my finale is dimash sos. This will help. For the second verse but also the higher notes si jamais c'était plus bon. That I will mayby keep legato instead of stacato to make it easier. Any tips for good high staccato? Also the last chorus I go an octave lower at a point with the same intensity. But still making my own version with nitpicking and much influence of the greatest singer on earth. deadline: end of june. Singing deadline: till I die.
I gotta say your videos really help man, I've been struggling a lot with tension and just in general high volume when I sing, I'm trying to tone it way down than what I'm used to I can really feel sometimes I feel like I get somewhere at least, but I still struggle with my voice in a band setting, any tips and tricks for that kinda stuff? Then again I think it mostly boils down to me being insecure and wanna do a good job
THIS exercise where you meticulously plan your phrasing and your approach to each note IS the ticket. You'll program your muscle memory and then, over time, you'll be able to sing things all the way through with freedom. Watch Spencer Sotelo's one take of Wildfire. He uses the same approach!! It's all about being meticulous on the front end and practicing with recording and mindfulness BEFORE you try to sing in a band setting and sing songs all the way through!
would love to see you use the do new years day by U2, particularly the "say its true its true" verse
You sure know how to describe the learning process
I've been working on vowel modification lately, could you say celled instead of called to help since aw is a harder vowel than ey? Very cool stuff Chris, I hope everything is going well for you😊
I’m going to try this when singing the chorus to Stars by Simply Red.
After a vocal injury back in December, I finally have my range back, but my upper range is sometimes raspy now. It's not a bad thing, but idk if it's permanent, and it kinda makes me sad that it wasn't my choice to do that
I hope someday I'll buy a 1 to 1 course
can you please teach us how to sing harmony? i really strugle with it all the time
Your brilliance is amazing. Please share your technical expertise for jonah nillson of dirty loops. For me he is the most talented vocalist of our time.just saw them live, and it was life changing
I just saw Jonah live a few weeks ago... Incredible!!!
This is probably the best cover I've heard from you, makes me wanna check if there are any alt rock/pop rock versions of this song out there
I know this isn't a cover channel, but I'd love to hear you do Wrecking Ball from Miley Cyrus, maybe you could use it to teach something I don't know, but I feel like your voice would sound great doing male versions of songs originally sung by women
Great idea for wrecking ball!! I’ll think of something! :)
Are you psychic? I was struggling with the chorus of "Lose Control" by Teddy Swims, and I decided to memorize it in head voice before doing anything else with the high notes: this method seems perfect for studying those tricky lines!
Once again really helpful video!! Do you think you’d be interested in covering Knocked Loose sometime soon? Really interesting sounds there I think you may take interest in…
Yo the intro to the adele song sound like sleep token with an american accent😂 (really good tho wtf)
I feel like this could be dubbed the "Ado Approach". Not that Ado can't sing high notes, but she does the "money note" method in all her songs.
totally does... I dub this the "Ado Approach" !!
Is this the same guy that used to do ‘Liepe’s licks’ on guitar? Those vids were super sick
Yes!
@@chrisliepeawesome! Learned a lot of guitar from those videos back in the day. Hope youre good mate 💪
Hello, Chris and thank you for all the amazing content!! I've been going through your Mixed Voice Method & Madness Practice Pack, and I have started to be able to sing in my Mixed / Head Voice, HOWEVER it sounds too brassy and twangy. Not a very pleasant sound. Did yours also sounded like that in the beginning or is just tat my voice has that particular character? Will I be able to make it sound well-rounded like yours with enough practice? I would appreciate some help / reassurance !! :)
My voice still sounds brash and twangy :) haha... It's all about learning to tone shape (through mindful recording and practicing) once you have the core coordinations down. This takes time, patience and lots of repetition exactly like I demonstrate in this video. This video shows how I get the sounds I want out of each note!
@@chrisliepe Thank you for the reply! Keep up the great work 🤘
The falsetto in the Adele cover sounded a looot like Justin Hawkins 😳
Can You please Do a multitrack reaction on michael jackson's burn This Disco Out
Can you look at the With you acapella from linkin park , his pitch is ridiculous on that song
please do the same with shes gone by steel heart, can you at rip that song apart. thats my magnus opus. im so close i can taste it. thankyou for all you do its uper helpful.
I wonder if this approach would work for attempting Myles Kennedy's high note at the end of Words Darker Than Their Wings? The Royal Albert Hall version. I can't even get my falsetto to hit that note.
Yep! Would totally work for that!
Cool video! But I think we need an example of everything in the line sung in the "mixed" voice (M2). Because Chris easily hit D#4 and F4 in chest as we can see. But for me I need to raise the volume a lot to get them in chest. So I naturally want to switch to M2 about B3 or at least C4. Actually I can hit up to G#4 in chest with a ton of "support" but it will be loud as hell and only using open vowels. And the problem is that my B3-F4 "mixed" voice (M2) sounds like I'm pretend that I can sing them in chest. Especially the B3-D#3 range. They are loud, resonant and powerful but with noticeable "head voice tint". And the opposite: G4-B4 I can hit almost with the chest tone but it's still the same M2 in "mixed" coordination. Sorry if i made mistakes, not a native English speaker, still learning :)
Important note: i've found my "mixed" voice (chest-like M2) at September 2023 and developed/practiced it for 8 months. Perhaps it takes more time.
I could be reading this wrong, but you may be over thinking things and getting too inside your own head based on your knowledge of what notes you’re actually singing. I try to ignore the note names entirely when I’m in the process you see me demonstrating in this video. That way I don’t have “note defeat” where I’m fixating on trying to hit a certain letter name. This helps me immensely. As soon as I start thinking about note names or analyzing my technique, I tense up and it’s over. But if I go off of purely sensation, at least initially, I have way more victories. Only after I’ve felt things out, do I figure out what the note names are that I’m actually singing :)
Addition: almost all of this is sung in various mixed voice coordinations. :)
@@chrisliepe Wow, thank you for the response! Yes, overthinking is definitely can be a part of my problem. Btw I want to thank you for your old video about difference between head voice and mixed voice. I shifted sound back as you said in the video and got my mixed voice in A4--B4 area! That was the point where my mixed journey started, so thank you :) Another part of the story: lower head voice notes didn't work at all. They didn't want to swell like the Ab4-B4 did. After a few months of practice I found a bit different resonance and now they working a lot better. But as I said in prev comment they feel not usable for most of the songs. I think I need to work more on the bridge area. When I slide from chest to head/mixed voice I need to significantly reduce the volume ("lift off the gas pedal") to make it smooth which affects the tone of the sound. It feels like my weak transition is possibly related to the problem, because I can see that people on youtube can make transition with consistent volume.
I know time of practice is gonna differ from person to person, but how much time should an intermediate put in?
I've seen a lot of vids on yt. And i kinda go into fear mode and i feel like sometimes i practice less that i should.
I do 45 mins(around that much) of vocal workout per day.
So if i were to do go at a song like you did and practice it bit by bit, then how much would you recommend i practice.
And just curious, how much time did you put in for practicing this one?
And how much do you practice/vocalize on daily basis?
I put in about 3 hours working on this song before I did the take you hear at the beginning of the video... going note by note, line by line. There's no set time though. Listen to your body, sing it til you get it the way you want it and the way that's comfortable. If your body stops responding, take a break and come back to it when you feel fresh :) !
@@chrisliepe understood.
Thank you so much
Those high notes that you first hit in head voice, how are you doing them at the end? Still in head or chest / mix ? Below or above bridge? That’s what I’m struggling with at the moment. Working on Like a stone. I sound like a Wheezing ballon doing it. like the sound from a deflating balloon when you make it squeal by stretching the outlet
It varies! The goal is to be comfortable approaching them in lots of different ways and explore the possibilities by going phrase by phrase and note by note as you see me doing here. The key is… build the sensations first and listen to your body in the process… before you concern yourself with the technical aspects of what you’re actually doing! :)
@@chrisliepe
I see. I’m probably a low baritone. Started singing very late (late 40s). On most days E4 is the highest I can comfortably go in chest. Then the note after sounds very differently and I hate that. Like entering the chorus in like a stone in Mickey Mouse land 🤦♂️.
I'm the 1k like heck yeah!
So he's just creating muscle memory for each word so when he strings them together it sounds good?
👐...👐
If I can hit a note in falsetto, I can give strength to it and develop in mix. My problem is that I can't go up certain note, even in falsetto. I get stuck there and there is no way to break that boundary. For example in the ending high note from unchained melody😢
I think that limit for me is E5. I can't reach that note even in falsetto
I tried the free course but it didn't help me. I can't sing high notes powerfully and even have a clean note with that diaphragm support
I hope someday I'll buy a 1 to 1 course
It’s much more than just support to hit high notes. The free course is the beginning of the process. I hope you can join me for a course someday.
Or … you could just do what DLR did live back in the 80s and just talk your way through your show while chugging JD. :). But seriously, good for you for saying that good things come to those who work obsessively to achieve their goal. ✌️🎤✌️
can i still take the course without having any sort of instrumental experience i just wanna be able to sing i feel like i have the potential i just dont know how to unlock it
honestly i just wanna be able to express myself i love music and would love to be able to sing as an emotional release
Yes! There is no need to have any sort of instrumental experience! :) you have everything you need with just your voice.
@@chrisliepe okay thankyou btw i loved your reaction to ren and chinchilla funnily enough he has truly inspired me to finally learn
I can produce my mix voice but i can't doing my mix voice correctly while i sing, what should i do sir,?
You need to work on short phrases and not full songs and really focus on your support! Have you joined my free course linked in the pinned comment yet?
lol, I’m exactly the same. If the song was recorded in a certain key, I’m gonna sing it in that key! I’ve never wanted to be that guy who asks an entire band to transcribe the song, it’s much better for everyone if the singer can just learn the damn song in the right key!
can you please cover a change is gonna come by sam cooke
a breakdown/tutorial i mean
I really wanna learn your vocal chain effect your using here.
*contains the vocal range of MGK*
Me: I can now be Spencer Soleto
Spencer got to be Spencer because of this method! You’d be amazed how hard he pushes himself in the studio during the writing process!
😮l
I'm kinda hammered right now and I think I clicked the wrong video.
Haha
