I think the best representation of her voice is the live vocal one take of Spiritbox // Circle With Me. She utilizes many different techniques and really sounds more at home with her voice
Everyone always tells reactors to go for their newer songs with more views but if you want to see a broader interesting example of the band and/or Courtney's range then check out The Mara Effect live at Silverside Sound. 16 minutes well worth it. Other notables are: Trust Fall, Circle With Me (One Take), Sun Killer, The Summit.
Well, you've already met Floor, Tatiana, and now Courtney. You should keep your visit to Vancouver (Spiritbox home) a bit longer and head down the street to meet Brittney Slayes, lead singer of Unleash The Archers. I highly recommend reacting to their song Awakening (full band playthrough). They have very few professionally recorded live vids out there, most are fans cell phone vids. If you want something live, I suggest their song Time Stands Still, here is the correct link to that live recording - ruclips.net/video/ZNxlQPEGTFA/видео.html
“No screaming is my favourite thing in the world”. Sorry, but we can no longer be friends…… 😆 Haven’t listened to any of their music before either, but now I’m keen!
Some recommendations: Spiritbox - Blessed Be [Live for SiriusXM]: ruclips.net/video/rE_fbydG1h8/видео.html Spiritbox - Circle With Me - Courtney LaPlante live one take performance: ruclips.net/video/zMnfkW9UZc4/видео.html And if you want something really heavy, with no clean vocals (all screaming). This is the original music video (which is what I recommend - cool/creepy video): Spiritbox Holy Roller (Official Music Video): ruclips.net/video/cWE0sSZ9yLc/видео.html
Courtney and her husband Mike (guitarist and instrumental composer for all of Spiritbox’s music) were also in the “Gift Of Death” era of the band Iwrestledabearonce. Check out the Circle With Me one take for sure. Vocally, what she does is way more impressive in that song. This song was one of their older ones where they were trying to find their identity as a band, so it’s quite a bit more progressive.
For pure insanity please check out her one take of their song Circle With Me. Courtney evolved so so much over the past and you can really see and hear that if you gonna watch all of her one takes from oldest to newest. She's an absolute beast and for me personally, the queen of metal. But not only metal, I think and she also already prooved that, Courtney can basically do everything with her voice.
I think the singing voices for screamers are usually good because screaming without blowing your voice requires immense amount of breath support and vocal control. So the basics of solid singing are there anyway.
Spiritbox (and also Jinjer) is on top of the stairs to heaven..or ...hell. As I'm Dutch, I recommand you another Dutch amazing 'fairy tale' female singer gothic metal band called Blackbriar, no screaming but angelic voice. One of their stunning songs is Deadly Diminuendo: @
You might like their song Constance, which has no screaming, or Secret Garden, or Eternal Blue. They're not a band that uses harsh vocals in every song necessarily!
Well If you don't really like growling but you still interested in Spiritbox, maybe you should react to Constance, which has only clean vocals. If you don't mind so much about growling parts you should definitely react to "Circle with me". Amazing song and almost brand new
That was a really nice reaction! You seem to have a very deep understanding of how voice works and can hear small details and nuances. If you are interested in one-takes, we have also just released a one-take video on our song "Panopticon", would be keen hearing your opinion!
Hi! I commented on your last leprous video and I'm not sure if you've seen it. Please check out Aussie prog metal band "caligulas horse" some great songs to start with are Autumn, or Firelight. Also they do a gorgeous cover of Peter Gabriel's Don't Give Up... Please check them out! Guaranteed you will love them!

Holy roller for her bad ass guterals 👌
this 1000% ^^^
It's either "Holy Roller" for heavy, and popularity,
or "Circle With Me (live one-take)" for awesomeness.
Circle With Me, the live one take version is a must listen.
Yessss Courtney is my favourite. For more recommended listening check out Circle With Me (for more poweful singing) and Constance (to make you cry).

For a full song without screams, check out "Constance," but be prepared for an emotional reaction.

Going to see Spiritbox on the 18th I've been waiting since 2017! Definitely gonna lose my voice screaming 🤘

she did another live one take call circle with me in the studio, she sings a little more forward
You can "admire" her voice in "Beauty of Suffering" (Live for SiriusXM).

Have you listened to Chris Stapleton live?
You should check out Rolo Tomassi is you haven't. That vocalist is incredible at switching between clean and scream! She def rocks!!
👍👍
Their latest release is beautiful acoustic song.
You might like their song Constance, which has no screaming, or Secret Garden, or Eternal Blue. They're not a band that uses harsh vocals in every song necessarily!
Go back in time at listen to Courtney in iwrestledabearonce. Boat Paddle is a good start.

Definitely check out "Circle With Me" but watch the video this time for that one. =)

Great reaction! I'd love to hear your take on EPICA - KINGDOM OF HEAVEN PT 3 - (ΩMEGA ALIVE). That song/performance is a masterpiece!
I will absolutely agree with you that the song is a masterpiece! Unfortunately I can't react to it because I know it way too well XD
