One of the most recognizable and versatile voices of his era and genre, Bruce Dickinson combines a unique blend of drama, subtle operatic nods and raw aggression for a sound that's forever Maiden :) In this video, I dive into his mixed voice approach, his placement and what allows him to sound so effortless yet fully engaged in those upper stratosphere notes he likes to dwell in!
Man, you don't know how amazing it has been to me to find your channel and finally begin to sing all these repertoir I never believed I could sing. All my life I have been a fan of Iron Maiden, Chris Cornell and all those high pitched metal icons, and I thought singing their songs was impossible because of my range, but with all these techniques you teach I am starting yo discover a Lot about my voice and It's like a dream coming true.
Thank you, Chris Liepe, you are an amazing teacher.
I've never thought, in my wildest dreams, that my singing skills would be on the same level as bruce. I just resigned myself without even knowing....I was actually able to do some of this on the first watch. Your lessons are literally building my voice.
How much time did it take to build the voice?
That's hard to answer. If I took all the time I've actually physically practiced I'd say about 4-5 years. I built my voice off of singing opra stuff to find my voice. because it felt comfortable and I could do it. I used to sing when I was younger when I was alone. I did that until eventually i started playing guitar and singing at the same time after I mastered that I within the last year have really buckled down and focused on my singing.
But you build your voice by talking so to find your singing voice you need to test your voice by making noises and crafting those noises to make the sound you want. So it might start as a dying cat sound but it will lead into a good head voice because you be testing what you can do. I actually make a lot of goofy sound effects over a mike to test my voice and see what it can do.
@@fb39371 Oh okay thanks! I currently sound not horrible but still weak, and I want to release an album (metal) within a year, so I'm just wondering if I can craft something roughly okay in that time, haha .
@@guitarrock58 if you have a base then it's possible but if your not well versed in it you could do damage to your voice. I would say, if you can, practice as much as is safe every week for a year you should be able to have decent technique. I tell my guitar students, Practice, practice, practice, but guitar is not part of your body so you have to monitor your voice so you dont strain it. Warming up can really help keep everything strong.
Bruce Dickinson,The best!
I'm not a singer but this is hilarious to watch.
Right?! Some day I'm gonna make some compilation video of 2 Chrises having a conversation and talking/screaming/growling at each other. He's a great teacher, but he could easily do standup comedy as well.
Your range and vocal variety are astonishing.. what a precision also! 💪💪💪👏👏👏
I am a simple person whenever I see Bruce Dickinson i click
This was fascinating, thank you!
We are legion... it doesn't matter what, it says Bruce Dickinson, I'm in
Probably my quickest reaction to a video notification. This one made the Friday special
One thing I notice when I hear to Bruce Dickinson is that his vibrato is very peculiar, it seems like he does a big interval between the notes, similar to what we hear in opera , but it's quite unusual on rock vocalists. Awesome video btw!
Singing like this without tension is SO HARD!
Amazing , I was expecting a video of you about Bruce, Greetings from Brasil 🇧🇷
Another great informative video, thanks. I'd say another suggestion would be to explore Bruce Dickinson's voice on newer album's such as Brave New World or his solo album Chemical Wedding. Sometime in the 90s it seemed his voice changed from his younger 80s sound to an older gruffed up sound. I've always wondered what he did to change his voice as he aged and i feel the way you tackle different singers techniques would perfectly for you to explore. It also would be great to see you examine singers in general as they age and change either from delveloping new technique or simply changing because they are getting older. Been learning alot from your channel, thanks again.
Great ideas!!
I always told myself, there will be a day, but I don't know when and I don't know how. Now I at least know how. Thank You Chris Liepe, you along with all the other people who have so much knowledge to give!
you know it's good when you still get the same tingles in the "run for your lives" section
Chris,,, YOU ARE THE BEST!!!! Please, give us a class about BONO VOX
Yep.. dude you deserve more subscribers.. this is just what I was waiting for as well. I've recently done my own demo it's a metal track and it's the chorus that lets it down and that's because I want to get that Bruce d high note. Now I have something to work with. Thanks dude.. 🙂
As an aside, as of two years ago, Bruce Dickinson is still amazing live. If anyone is on the fence about seeing Iron Maiden live, allow me to push you off of the fence in the direction of going. I tend to not like concerts because they involve people, which is something I've been avoiding as best I can for almost 32 years, but they're worth it.
Awesome!
Instant like. Keep up the great work on your channel!
I've never clicked a notification this fast before xD
Might I recommend as a follow up to this, checking out/reviewing Rafael Mendes - check any of his RUclips Videos- They are all live recorded. The perfect voice to learn how to sing like Bruce
Check out covers by Raphael Mendes. Ita literally Bruce Dickinson himself
Completely agree, this guy here sounds good, but not enough, Raphael Mendes is the one!!
@@pedrobernardojr6135 you know the point of the video is to help singers to understand the technique and not imitate Bruce, right? What's the point of singing exactly like someone that already exists (and is alive)
@@lucaspoli6109 plus Bruce Dickinson's voice is much more powerful and larger in operatic terms than all of those imitators who tend to exaggerate some of his 80's and 00's vocal tricks to sound like him. The oomph is just not there plus it is one thing to have influences in your own voice and another (good, bad, cringe - you decide) to copy a living person's voice
Everytime I see your new video "How to sing like X", my inner voice automatically says "No, you can't" 😄
Well, as I say in the videos... we are NOT trying to SOUND like them... we are doing some of what they do (sing like) and trying to see what happens with our own voices! :)
@@chrisliepe I know, but it's not myself who says that. It's that weird voice 😆
Awesome freakin video!!!! Love Bruce. And you really have some golden ears. You point out things I've never noticed - even after listening to the same thing thousands of times. I literally use the Trooper to warm-up (after basic warm-up) every day. That song really relaxes and opens my voice.
you know what this means Chris.....Rob Halford needs to be on deck. hahah....can't wait to hear this one! thank you!
for Halford if you could do a little of Victim of Changes or Dreamer Deceiver...that would be amazing...also Sinner is amazing and has a lot of his different voices.
The best couch for me. Brother
you ended the video without getting into the verses of Hallowed be thy Name! He sings most of that entire section in B4. I'm dying to know how you feel he approaches it. does he just have enough range to sing it in chest or is he singing in a "throaty mix" as you described earlier in the video.
Amazing Video! Thanks for the Live yesterday and Congratz again. I'm still waiting for the How to sing Like Tom Chaplin from Keane and Luis Miguel! Cheers
Great video as usual! I was wathing it and repeating you pretty successfully, but then I checked the notes I was singing, and was shocked, and immediately then got tensed... I need to overcome the curse of always checking what notes I'm singing, knowing the notes hurts my voice!
RIGHT!
Dude, you should analyze Eric Adams (Manowar) - particularly Dark Avenger. Uses every vocal trick in the book. That crescendo scream (soft/low to loud/high) is freakin insane! (He was one of my vocal idols when I was growing up)
YEEEEESSSSS
Thank you so much for doing this! Love your channel.
my favorite note is the “The” in “run to THE hills”
I know that you haven't been doing this for very long, but you absolutely deserve more subscribers. I have been waiting for this video in particular and I hope you do more on Bruce. Also I would love to hear you analise Rob Halford and Robert Plant.
Is Brian Johnson on your list?
Also - Do you have any idea why Bruce moves his cheek/ chin up and down when he’s using vibrato? I reckon it’s for visual purposes, or are there any advantages of this movement? I just started up an Iron Maiden/Sabaton tribute band, and we want to be as accurate as possible. Again, thnx for your great videos! /Jon, Sweden
Chris how do I avoid breaking when I go higher? I know the break is good for grit but I just can’t go high without breaking or going full head voice even when I use full yawn or dying cat
Stay relaxed and focus on airflow and attack, experiment with your voice a lot but always with the relax and airflow thing in mind, that way you will discover new sounds and "registers" of your voice in a safe and effortless way.
WELL SAID
@@chrisliepe haha thank you, and of course I didn't mention all the good stuff you always suggest to find the various sounds with ease, your method is simply brilliant. ✅
Hey! I have a serious problem. As of late i haven’t been able to belt above an Eb4 without loosing all ability to compress the sound and using way, way too much air. My voice “falls apart” and gets really distorted too. What is happening?
Been any lifestyle changes?
Chris Liepe other than getting my first job, not really. I’ve also had nearly an octave knocked off my falsetto range. I fear i have nodules.
Bruce Dickinson is amazeballz! #goals
Excellent video. One question: at times when you're singing into the microphone (usually on higher notes), you kind of lean off to the side a little bit rather than singing straight on. Is that a microphone technique that changes the sound in some way, or just something that you do for comfort/other reasons?
Mainly a "performance quirk" :) Probably better NOT to lean away from the mic.
It would be amazing to see you make How to sing like Glenn Danzig
Yes!
Thank you Chis. You make it look easy😂😂😂
As a suggestion, can you do How to sing like Adam Gontier (Saint Asonia/formerly of Three Days Grace) next? I absolutely love how he uses distortion, wish I could figure out how to do it
Amazing Chris. Good job
Love the level of detail you go into with every voice you study, so many things here about Bruce that I never even realised!
Would love if you could unpack Mikael Akerfeldt from Opeth. Such an incredibly versatile singer...laid back crooning, full belting, nimble falsetto and of course his infamous death growls.
Thanks for this!!
I always tell my students that singing is basically making goofy and funny voices sound good haha
👍 your way of instruction made me smile 😆. I’ve learned how I listen to/ practice singing. Thank you. I love Cookie Monster! 🙏
Finally !! Thank you so much Chris 🤟 keep it up
Thanks so much!
Are you ever gonna do any female vocalists in this series?
I should! Who would you like to see first?
@@chrisliepe Awesome mate! Some suggestions for you to get inspired (not all of them are rock/metal): Floor Jansen. Susan Tedeschi. Etta James. KT Tunstall. Norah Jones. Ella Fitzgerald. Rett Madison. Rozzi Crane. Laura Marling. Olivia Chaney. Bonnie Raitt. Florence (+ The Machine). Gillian Welch.
Chris, could you please break down 'Midlife crisis' by Faith No More? Mike Patton is a beast and a great example of vocal ingenuity and range.
Fantastic video! Love your stuff!! Helps me a lot! Any possibility for more Bruce Dickinson? Or do you give online vocal coaching? Would be interested in a couple of sessions. Cheers!

Amazing! Could you do a How to sing like Maria Brink from In this moment, she is pretty awesome, greetings from México 🇲🇽
Nice job as always, Chris. Now how about Geoff Tate, or Michael Kiske?
Thanks!!
Wow! \,,/ How to avoid some injury adding vocal fry or distortion like you do singing Bruce? Sounds awesome in your performance!!!! What amazes me is that one of Bruce's main influences was Ian Gillan and it is noticeable in his earlier works with Maiden and you sing same but with Robert Plant's influences among all, that's great! Thank you for revealing many tricks!
Chris you're just amazing! I learned so much since I've been watching your Videos.
But I saw that you mostly analysed male singers till now... I would really like to see female singers like Maria Brinks, Lzzy Hale, Taylor Momsem or Agnete Kjølsrud
They're all amazing rock/metal vocalists and probably have amazing techniques we could all learn from. I really hope you'll analyse them someday.
Greetings from Germany
Great lesson Chris! How about a lesson about the great Geoff Tate?
Yes please.
There's something of Richard III in Brucie's Hallowed Be Thy Name performance. Johnny Rotten based his whole act upon this.
YAY! Nice one! Avantasia, Blind Guardian, Hammerfall, Helloween, Primal Fear, rhapsody Kamelot, Conception (cheap try here) (hey im trying ahahaha)
You sound to me more like Maynard James Keenan (Tool) than Bruce Dickinson. You look a bit like MJK hehe. Cheers
Look up Raphael Mendes. The guy is dead on at singin like Bruce.
Nah Maynard sounds more hollow sounding (and I mean that in a good way) and more tortured soul in his voice
With this video I get super clear how your voice loves Overdrive and Edge modes ( for CVT swedish school of singing ), or in other words, tunin to the First Formant ( F1 ) of the voice. Your voice goes almost never to tune the second formant, hahah that makes your voice super specialized for the style of music you do and teach. One question, how are your OO's and EE's ( u and i ) on the high range? You always tend to do open vowels, I know they're eeasier for you. I myself start changing the tuning the first formant on aprox G#4 ( depending on vowel ), then to go higher I always have more of a closed sound. When I reach to C5 or D5 I can make it a bit more Overdrive/F1, but it never sounds as yell-ish as you, because my vocal folds are naturally less adducted ( I have a small gap ).
Here’s one I did on the ee and oo. ruclips.net/video/0Gv8XLv2ccU/видео.html
Thanx Chris!! Been wanting to ask you to do this, but you beat me to it!
Nice! :)
Sing like Leo Jiménez forner Saratoga, check out his Gethsemane performance!
You are the best
Love ur videos brother
Your understanding of singing and ability to analyze, break it down and explain is just incredible.What a gift! Thank you so much for sharing such quality content time after time. I think you are the best on youtube at what you do. Could you please consider doing something on singers her less than spectacular live yet who sound amazing on studio recordings? This would help understand the difference between solid technique and studio magic, as well as how they both go together. For example, Vince Neil of Motley Crue and Stephen Pearcy of Ratt come to mind. How can such dodgy vocalists get to sound so magic on a record? Can someone even sound that awesome with pure technique alone? Would love to understand this!
Great questions and ideas for other videos!
Big fan of your channel Chris. Was wondering if you could tackle these singers in future videos. I would love to know your thoughts.
Jim Morrison
Barry White
Morrissey
David Bowie (especially on his range. powerful chest mids, yet he could do amazing highs.)
Hey! What do you think about Noah Sebastian of Bad Omens?
Thank you for this! I would love to see a video on Russell Allen if possible. I know he is not the most known singer but I love his voice and I think it would be a great singer to analyse.
Seconded on Russell Allen! Stunning vocalist.
So cool 😎😎
Very Good Chris! Please Russell Allen, Jorn Lande, Dio ....or the mix of them , the young Dino Jelusick ( here comes the king song of the New George Lynch Project) . Thanks
Thanks!! 😊
Hello, Chris! Love your videos! I have a request and would be very grateful if you would analyze some of Paul Di'Anno's singing on the first two Iron Maiden records. Especially these brief, but key moments. Prowler - Basic grit from verse, Sanctuary - Use of longer vibrato tones throughout, Remember tomorrow - high phrase at 2:05, Charlotte the harlot - slow middle section. Running free - Ending Oh! Oh!, Wrathchild - Basic grit verse, long vibratos, siren at 1:35, Innocent Exile - ending phrase, Twilight Zone - Chorus and high phrases. Thank you for considering!
I don't think it's a good idea to imitate vocalists that lost their voice. Maybe you should also mention that in your analysis. I think that imitating Dio, Kiske, Adams or even UDO is wiser than imitating Dickinson and other singers who have injured their voice.
It's not a good idea to imitate anyone. If you do and don't move to introspection, you'll lose your voice no matter what. I talk about this in nearly every video. Whether or not they lose their voice is not the point for us. We can study what they do, and carefully and introspectively try things with our own voice and in the process... learn a TON.
Since maiden is one of my biggest influences vocally, this is awesome.
Also, getting something on Jonathan Davis from KoRn would be amazing , just because of how crazy those vocals sounds.
Thanks!!
You should make one of Michael Jackson😎
Thanks for the suggestion!
Hello Chris, I've been watching your videos for about a week and I have to say you are a really good teacher. I have completed your free vocal course, and I want to try to learn to do metal screams but no matter how I try it doesn't seem to work. Is there any particular order of your videos I should watch to learn this?
Thanks so much! Check out this one to start! There are several others on my channel, too, that you’d appreciate. ruclips.net/video/cjafQIbWBOs/видео.html
Good teaching, if your able to do a video cover of Iced Earth, how does he sing? He has a voice that can carry sounds amazing!
Hey could you explain and analyze Damon Albarn's Vocals?
I know you always saying were not trying to sound like them and sing in our own voice... but try being Scottish and sounding like one of the wee neds from still game 🤦♂️
Thanks for sharing. The previous singer of Iron Maiden, Paul Diano also was very good, but with a different style, maybe more natural, very nice the runs he does in the Phantom of the Opera song. Bruce Dickinson is very nice too and different. Good one.
Faija!! Vittu FAIJAAAH! It's funny, it's a slang word in our language meaning dad.! Haha! :D
OMG YES! Bruce is what inspired me to want to be better at singing; thank you for this breakdown! Have you considered doing a breakdown of Marilyn Manson's style? He does some pretty interesting stuff with his fry register on his earlier albums that most singers don't use, particularly using fry without screaming.
Thanks for the suggestion!
😍😍😍 love your videos! Will you be doing a how to sing like Dio ?
Someday!
Yay! Can’t wait! Thank you for creating great content!
PLEASE do Billy Corgan next
please do a "How to Sing Like" about Andy Bane from Dangerkids
Would love to hear about geoff tate of queensryche. Thanks
Good suggestion!
I’ve been a student of yours for months, I’ve sang for years and have had a great foundation before coming to you to understand how to sing with grit because that always escaped me. Here I am 3 months later with a somewhat developed grit. I only ask one favor of you, there’s one loose end I need tied up. Please show us how to sing like Chad Gray in early Mudvayne days. Soft sweet vocals to the most intense screams you’ve ever heard. I need that lesson! Lol
Thanks for reaching out and for the suggestion!!
Very nice, Chris!
If I could suggest you something, could you please make a "how to sing" video about Jonny Lindqvist from Nocturnal Rites?
He has a great drive in his voice and good high notes! So much brilliance and lightness when singing. I really apreciate his technique.
Thanks, bro! It would be great!
MICHAEL KISKE (please!)
Bruce Dickinson :)
😁
With them having a British accent, does that help them out with the vowels in words like “fire” and “me” in songs?
Probably doesn’t hurt!! 😊
Could we get a Daniel Heiman edition?
How do you sing that high?
ruclips.net/video/PWILJG2wh5Q/видео.html
How to sing like Bruce Springsteen like he does in "We Are The World" (USA For Africa) pls
Please do Prince and Peter Gabriel!
Do old Conway twitty like deep laid back.
BILLY CORGAN!!!!
Plz make a video on sebastian bach 18 and life..
Raphael Mendes vejam
Hello Chris, love your videos here and I have just started your Discover Your Voice course, really great!
Do you know Tom S. Englund from Evergrey? I love his voice and would love to learn more about his style...
Please check the songs Soaked (the first sentences already!) and Closure (all parts, but in particular the higher part)....
Other songs could be Solitude Within, A touch of Blessing and many others.
Would be great to see You do a video about this really amazing singer and great band... Looking forward to continue your course too
Awesome! Welcome to the course! :) Be sure to keep me posted as you go through and let me know what you're discovering! I'm not familiar with Tom S. Englund, but I'll look him and the band up!
