It's an easy and common trap to fall into: You feel like you might be getting the feel of grit and distortion down and then realize your stuck getting dirty with only a few notes!!
If it's too low or too high, you can't seem to dial it in... Or you're tense beyond belief. I've successfully coached many vocalists through this problem and it is totally possible, regardless of your voice type, to get great distortion, grit, breakup and tone throughout your whole range. It's a journey!!
But I've never found a better example to point to when it comes to overcoming this obstacle than Disturbed/David Draiman's cover of The Sound Of Silence! WOW!
He begins so ominously... With a contemplative posture in his voice. Then, throughout the the arc of the song, he builds into soaring cleans... Then with the exact same notes, he creates the most beautiful, messy, distorted, gut-wrenching gritty performance you'll ever experience!
Join me as I study this immaculate piece of work - DISTURBED'S THE SOUND OF SILENCE, with David's isolated vocal recordings! ...And show you how to spread incredible sounding distortion all over your existing voice!
David draiman's grit is something special.
It really is! So consistent and wonderful and able to be channeled in any part of his voice!
This was awesome! There was so much demonstrated and taught in clean voice, grit, and even some recording tips. Thank you Chris!! Loved your singing to your audience!! I'm so happy for you, that you are doing what you love to do!!! It shows in every video and course you put out there.
Thank you for your wonderfully thought out and encouraging comments Jamie! I'm blessed to have you as a student!
Best vocal teacher, such a gift for breaking down complex concepts and techniques into digestible pieces. Thank you Chris!!
(I am saying this in a crazy reverb voice) Thanks to YOU for MAKING these cool videos!
(on a ping pong delay effect) "You're Welcome... Welcome... Welcome.. ... ..." :)
His vocals are just on another level.
David Draiman is my favourite vocalist of all time! 🎤😃 I can't get enough of his voice!
Hey Chris, pretty sure you know this already but if you put a compressor on the end of a long decay reverb/delay chain and sidechain it to the original vocal it prevents said vocal from getting too muddy/washed by ducking the effect ever so slightly, pretty sure they used a similar trick here. It was my 2cts, anyway keep up the good work, great analysis as always.
Im excited that you said there's going to be more Disturbed. Would love a breakdown of their originals, maybe The Night or Overburdened. Something with his harsh vocals would be awesome too, Enough, My Child. Im sure you'll pick a great one!
Coming out with the bangers!
Please can you do a full cover of this - your voice is so good 🙏
Literally was looking through your videos last night to see if you had one on Draiman and was actually surprised that you didn't, as always tho awesome analysis! You should totally consider doing Justin Furstenfeld from Blue October!! I feel he's really underrated and really overlooked, like he's freakin amazing. Especially his vocals on "Hate Me" live
Have been waiting for this one for a long time...excellent job, analysis, and tips!! Looking very much forward to more David Draiman and/or Disturbed (his band Device would be cool, too!). He actually also just released a new single as a featured/guest vocalist on Nita Strauss's "Dead Inside" a few days ago.
Not only do I love the dual breakdown of both vocal analysis and engineering work, but I also want to hear _your_ cover of this now. You have a great voice yourself.
I love listening to your vocal analysis videos while at work. I love your passion when picking apart these songs and the singer's voices.
Excellent boulder lifting Chris 😊👏
impressing. wish I could do it like you. thanks for letting me bein part of this examination of david's art of singing. ThxAloT
I was trying the grit, and I started by pushing a lot at first, and I was getting very tired, but then, my body by itself acomodated the sound into my whole singing system and I was able to kinda do it, without so much effort. Sometimes it's like the body was like "oh, so you want to do that, ok ok, let's not do it this way, let's try this way, it's less demanding". You get that only by practicing a lot, and David's voice is so rich, that is a pleasure to study, because makes you discover a lot from our own voice. It would be very fun to analyse those "ow wa ah ah aow!" so characteristic of Disturbed. Thanks for bringing this to the table Chris, waiting to see more Draiman!
Yep, it’s almost like when you’re looking at one of those stereogram pictures. At first you have to force yourself to cross and uncross your eyes to make the picture appear but if you’ve been doing it a lot then the image will just appear with minimal effort.
How long have I been waiting for this)
Same!
Glad I finally was able to do it!
You have a great ear, Chris. It's uncommon. It's great how you use your ears constantly and make detailed listening front and center in all your videos. Love it! You're a stand out, man!
Thank you!
First things first, You have an amazing voice Chris, watching your vids makes so much areas in singing a lot easier to understand. You got a unique way of explaining how things feel which is very important. Thank you for sharing your knowledge .....keep'em coming please
Wow, LOVE this breakdown! I'm brand-new to singing (been an instrumentalist all my life) so it's like hearing all that's supposed to be going on while doing a yoga pose and trying to not get overwhelmed and just take it in at the pace I can. Looking forward to the next Sing Together class!
Amazing. You are such a good teacher and singer. Much appreciated Chris!
Thanks for doing this Chris!!! See you Thursday
The way you dissect this. amazing
I love watching Your collabs with other singers from the modern metal scene. Please do some more, as there is a sea of talents to pick from, maybe someone would be able to show up at Your place again!
Sadly, as I've moved to the block I feel mentally unable to practise properly since and unlock my full volume without this awkward feeling, but those videos are still very enjoyable to watch for me for over a year now. Kudos Chris!
Awesome as always, Chris! Wow, as a baritone this is so fun to sing to, and you delivered such a valuable and thoughtful breakdown. After a few run-throughs might jam this at karaoke tonight!
Thank you so much, Chris! While I think guys like Robert Plant and Chris Cornell sound amazing, I don't want to sing like them; I want to sing like this! Your tips, especially the facial resonance one REALLY helped me get closer to what I want to sound like!
Incredible voice and incredible detailed video! Thanks! Regards from Brazil
powerful vocals
Awesome!!! I was waiting for this thanks so much for doing this video!
Glad you liked it!!
Thank You over and over!! WOW!!!
That was a genuine thank you at the end, felt it.
My respect to you Chris. I have request for you : Isolated vocal analysis for David draiman the song Sons of plunder.
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain..lol. The magic behind this song broken down so perfectly, not usually a fan of learning a magician’s tricks, but extremely educational, a necessary reveal. Makes me consider why new singers attempting to replicate these artists with assisted auto tune etc actually makes them much stronger singers, since they are attempting to match their idols and their electronic enhancements..
Amazing range you have
Thank you!
Finally you got to Disturbed! David is probably my favorite vocalist tbh. He's so versatile and fine-tuned with his grit.
Oh my God this is by far my all-time favorite band and cover of the sound of silence and just so that you know I am also a singer so I’m going to cover the song as well in the future
This is just unbelievable
Amazing video, Chris! Thanks!
Awesome thanks Chris.
I appreciat this so much. Since I discovered your videos you've convinced me you're really the coach I want to learn from.
Also at first I thought when you go into details about the effects it's more for producers than for vocalists, but I just had the epiphany that this is vital for me to separate which sounds I can sing and which are produced. In the past it has happened often that I'm not sure if what I'm hearing is even humanly possible, or wondering why I sound so much worse even though I feel like I'm nailing it when it could just be an effect I didn't recognise.
Yes yes yes!! Singers who understand production are better singers hands down cause like you said, they know what to listen for!!
amazing techniques
Please, please do a breakdown of Mudvayne's 'Determined' (while watching the music video, it shows him in the studio which is even better).
I want to hear your analysis and try to dissect the different screams and your versions of them!
DISTURBED!!!! FINALLY!!! THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU.
P.S. John Cooper(Skillet) is an amazingly advanced singer. He hides it very well but it’s there and would be great to analyze
I almost feel bad for the music that voice is applied to, as I personally dislike skillet's music in recent years. Voice is insanely good tho.
LOVE the videos you use effects and creates while going!!!!
Such a great video, thanks!
Really fab episode, Chris!
매우 직관적으로 잘 가르쳐주고 표현해주는 선생님.
I sing at karaoke joints quite a bit, and almost always, people ask me "how are you able to sing like that?". Going forward, I'll probably just point them to this video, because this is exactly how it's done. Cheers!
Thank you! Ya, you MUST dive deep into performances regularly to infuse your own voice with interest and intentionality!
Just wow. =) Thanks Chris, I’m learning so much!!!
You're welcome!
amazing, i wrote before in some videos to analyze david
That was awesome. I'll sub. I want to see more.
Thanks for the sub!
You already hearted my comment on the bowie video I made about Tobias forge, so I will only say, incredible work, excited to see more man, I’ll be watching your content with a close eye as a drummer and an aspiring singer. Your NiN video has done wonders to help me find my own sound!!
Oh that's awesome to hear! Ya, Trent's voice is so accessible in many ways. He gives a lot away with his voice!
Long awaited!
awsome brother
Brooo... You rockkkk... Luv from Brazil
There are a lot of artifacts in the recording that you can hear auto tune or some sort of pitch correction. I appreciate you calling that out
why on earth is this video not coming up in my History here on youtube!??! I never had this kind of bug in youtube before...
Stupid RUclips! Working against the viewer!!! (and me)
@@chrisliepe yes! this video was really important to me as a baritone.... I felt I have distorted my voice imitating too many high pitched tenor pop singers and must step back and relax the voice so it becomes Natural again and this video kind of helped me as a baritone to understand this even if I cannot yet do that...
Bons conteúdos músicais para análises, parabéns teacher😃
Epic ending
Totally!
have you heard the live version where he duets it with Miles Kennedy? it's absolutely incredible
Thanks Chris
Wow, incredible voices and fascinating to see how much information you can get out of this. I would really love to see one of these videos for "Without you" by Symphony X :O
Awesome, thanks
Been waiting for this one!! *gets popcorn*
:)
Awesome!
amazing
@5:56 - I try to score every song I cover vocally. It's not easy. You really want to write down everything you hear, but how? It would be nice to have a notation. I guess if you know how to read and write music inside-out, you could do it. I start by working line by line, and writing all the lyrics down as I go. It's work, but it really makes a huge difference in the end result. Ideally, you should be able to overlay your vocal cover over the original and have them align perfectly. The closer to that ideal, the better.
Oof! Even though I'm not a metal fan at all, I think that if there's any singer who's a catch-all metal vocalist, it's David Draiman. Love his grit and raw energy.
Hi chris, love the videos!
Have you watched the version with myles Kennedy?
Would love to here your analysis of the harmonies and blend.
Christ how I wish I could sing like that!
Stellar breakdown Chris! Top shelf. Here's a suggestion out of left field...how about an analysis of Roger Waters? He has some super angsty and bone chilling grit, some very vulnerable almost whimpering and a lot in between. Not to even mention his unique inhaled scream from the early recordings. I'd love to see it and I know you would do him justice.
Ohhh... Great idea! I need some Pink Floyd on here too... Might do a Gilmour one too!
Yes yes, and YES to the Roger Waters request and recommendation!!!
Maybe Chris could even cover the song on which Nick Mason did solo vocals. ;-)
Thank you for pointing out that this performance was pitch corrected. I absolutely think pitch correction is unnecessary for great singers such as David - overused tech ruining good musicians.
You are a slimmer version of david 😍❤️
great content! thanks!!!
also, at the beginning, you said you were a baritone, but(i might be mistaken) you sound like a tenor to me!
Classifications can be so arbitrary sometimes. If you look at my natural chest voice range and my vocal timbre, on paper I'm a baritone... strange huh!?
@@chrisliepe yeah but i was seeing this video where this opera singer stated something, which to me sounded like that what you call mix voice is part of their full voice range.
whichever it may be, youare a great singer Chris!!!
Would love to see you analyze Chess - Anthem, sung by Tommy Körberg
Chris please can you do Rory Rodriguez from Dayseeker?
Gotsta love an inspired performance
Absolutely one of the most inspired performances caught in the digital domain!
Pitch corrected
Hi Chris, I follow you since 2019, I remember that I asked you to analize Frank Sinatra's voice in that time; I´m still waiting :(
Hey there! First of all I want to thank you for all the (really wonderful) content that you are putting out! I have watched hours of it and just can't get enough. Am also thinking about starting some of the courses. So thanks and greaaaat job!!!
Now a suggestion: you should definitely check out Daniel Gildenlow from the band Pain of Salvation (a great band). A very versatile singer in his prime. You can start with the song Iter Impius (there is a live version from the "BE" concert) if you'd like. Would love to hear opinions.
Looking forward to working with you on a deeper level!
Such a great breakdown of things. I guess one reason I struggle with getting grit at certain points is because I've still yet to really find my vocal break I guess. I can do either straight screams or straight cleans with the occasional grit working it's way into my cleans to get that tone. But I am unable to do it at will. Idk. Either way, love the videos Chris 😁🤘
That lesson was I N S A N E
Hahaha awesome!!! Thank you
Thanks for watching!
U gotta do a Knocked Loose song sooo heavy
what is that plugin that you used @9:33??? IT'S AWSOME!!!
Hello Cris, I just want you to confirm that this can be done in a healthy way. It seem your throat was turning red and full of blood was it tense?
I can talk afterwards! Right away too! There’s confirmation. :) if you’re doing it wrong you’ll feel it in your voice right away! What I’m doing is t “tense”. It is INTENSE. Big difference! I discuses this in other videos quite a bit!
HI CHRIS!! TRY KISS FOREVER!!! ITS VERY RICH SONG TOO
TKS
You're a great teacher, Chris! But the way you do grit is not always correct. For example, at 19:05 it's clear that David does the same phrase differently, he doesn't have those high harmonics like you do. It's probably a different technique of doing extreme vocals. This is why you sing this same phrase it sounds too yelly, not that pleasant for ears
That is correct. David does not use the ANY supraglottal noise, which is how he maintains the space in the posterior vocal tract for maximum resonance. I know this because I am his vocal teacher.
@@odietamo72856 I love how the legendary Melissa Cross just pops up in the comments 🖤
Draiman’s singing sounds so effortless, very pleasant to the ears
Feel like I'm learning more every video. What software do you use to isolate the vocals?
I Just find them on RUclips :)
@@chrisliepe a lot easier than I thought lol. Keep up the great work!
Hello Chris.. Are you a tenor? Can a baritone sing that key as well with grit? Thank you. i love your channel😊
I’m a high baritone and yes they can! See any of my videos on mixed voice and also my video called “how to sing higher as a baritone” I’ve also got a distortion playlist that would be helpful for you :)
@@chrisliepe Oh Thanks! Im going to watch it now.
You know you look like David Draiman?
Ifnthe correction doesnt bother you why dont you do it?
Is Draiman using mixed voice? How does he sound so thick when he's goes higher into head voice territory?
He's using lots of compression for that thickness. I don't hear any implementation of mixed voice.
@@chrisliepe I see, thanks
23:36 lol
This sounds like the similar effect Maynard uses on some stuff
Maybe🤷♂️
It is!
Thank you for breaking down vocals in such detail since it helps me a lot to understand how which sound and mood is created.
I totally recommend the live version with David Draiman and Myles Kennedy as well. I love the dynamic of both voices who sound really different yet compliment each other well.

Comment for da algorithm
Streak count: 120
Yay!
Love the breakdown. But the fact that you think your voice is low is hilarious.
I always felt this was over tuned. I would have liked to hear the untuned version being used. This song should be sung by a human.
I agree the tuning is pretty noticeable in some places, especially in the isolated context!
@@chrisliepe still a fantastic performance. The guy is an awesome singer!
