That "eo" vowel you were talking about in relation to Celine Dion is a natural vowel in Korean, different from an "o" sound!

[@stevianusimanuel]

[@stevianusimanuel]

Up this

[@Bobbias]

Your right that Korean distinguishes eo and o, but you also need to remember that when singing you have a lot of room to change the quality of a vowel and still have people recognize the words. I'm English an a sound like in the word father can be anywhere between something like the a in apple to the schwa sound, or even somewhere close to an o or u sound. So I'd say that most people wouldn't even notice that difference in vowel quality. The fact that they picked up on how Celine's accent affects her singing in English and related it to sohyang likely means that they believe the effect comes from the differences in vowel quality in Korean. They didn't go out and say it, but I believe that's the implication of what they were saying. I think you guys are being a bit too harsh on them.

Actually Sohyang had a few session with Seth Riggs (Michael Jackson voice teacher) where she learnt about "speech level singing" and a proper way of mixing her voice. Since then, she has tremendously improve up until now!

[@TheSeeking2know]

You're right. Her voice really came into its own and she has progressed upwards over time. You can tell she keeps applying the training she received and practicing. She's a great testament to Seth Briggs' training techniques and I'm sure a lot of people have sought him out based on her example.

[@armenoid2278]

Sohyang is in a league of her own. Putting aside her phenomenal technical prowess, she has this incredible ability to touch your soul when she sings, like no other vocalist i Know. She took us on an emotional rollercoaster of a journey with this performance. During the acapella session, when she talked to the audience, she said: "whenever I am lonely, who is going to comfort me ? it is you .. EVERYONE". VIMEO has English subtitles for this and her other Korean performances. Worth checking out. BTW Sohyang is not classically trained, she self taught, although she did say in an interview that she had a few sessions (4) with Seth Riggs (Michael Jackson's coach) during a visit to the USA, when she was introduced to him. Thanks for the reaction. Arirang Alone next.

[@xers999]

Unlike Dimash, she never studied classical singing. Matter of fact, her major in college was French literature if you can believe that.

[@ToddSauve]

That actually makes sense to me because So Hyang is a master at communicating, and has a natural talent with languages. She speaks at least four, so she can really adapt her singing to the message she wants to deliver and is super quick in her note changes whenever she wants to do so.

[@Bobbias]

Your point about simple vs complex is a very good observation. She has said that this was the most difficult performance she's had to prepare for. I'd bet a large part is how complex and technically difficult the song is to sing, but I would also bet that because the song really encapsulates her own desire to use her music to help comfort people, the emotional connection with the song likely added to the difficulty she felt.

[@ignatiuschua5268]

Would just like to clarify on this: She was in States for a holiday and she was not looking for Seth Riggs. A common friend recommended that she met up with him, and she ended up taking 4 lessons from him. Apparently she took away alot from her 4 sessions with him. Do you called that trained? Maybe you do, but it sounded like she had a few years under him.

[@Rosannasfriend]

Having a few lessons with him doesn’t mean she was “trained by him”. Fans have a habit of blowing things up.

She’s definitely mixing, using a very chest based makes, and alternating with belts and other registers. She’s not using a classical technique at all, may be her breathing and her ability to sustain between phrases is what reminds you of classical technique.

[@yukuolee3740]

It's always fun and informative to watch your reactions. Appreciate how you attempted to make a distinction between a singer and an musician. Watching the incorporation of conversational piece by Sohyang here, I would make the statement that this performance also included the element of performing as an artist. It's interesting to hear your discussion on vocal efficiency. It gives me some idea why Sohyang's resonance sounds so full and distinct. Based on materials I have come across, Sohyang is never classically trained. Sohyang shared that she received lessons on mix voice from Seth Riggs when she was in L.A. and she worked hard to master that technique. Her use of mix voice is very evident in her performances.

[@captaincringe2178]

Chase were right; she's not a classical trained vocalist, in fact she never had any formal technical vocal training except that short "vocal session" with Seth Riggs back then (If it's counted). Well, I assume the next one is her rendition of "You raise me up" from the "Immortal Songs" performance(?). Cheers^^

[@liamcuerquis9631]

She has a successful vocal warm-up called the nay nay nay, where she would effortlessly transition from chest to headvoice

[@peerah]

Melia is absolutely correct. Sohyang is definitely mixing for almost the entirety of the fifth octave probably because it’s the only healthy way for a human being to do it. You can’t have the longevity in your career if you don’t save your instrument. The key here, as Melia also said, is that she brings a lot of the intensity from her chest voice up into her mix, so much so that her chest mix sounds almost like a full belt. She actually chest-mixes all the way up to at least A5 before it becomes a bit more head-dominant, but still pretty much connected.

[@1flash3571]

She actually has a respiratory problems. That might be the reason why she doesn't do tours. She is a gospel singer in a church she goes to. Not sure how bad her respiratory problem is though.

[@skyandghost]

@@1flash3571 while you commented this, she was on tour and still is

[@jrs2617]

She's not classically trained, but she took vocal lessons from Seth Riggs, who created the Speech Level Singing (SLS). I agree about her lower register, as a high soprano, her sweet spot is in her higher register. But she's been working on her lower register and it is getting better. Please react to her rendition of Lean on Me, I love the changes she made to the song because it reminds me of Sister Act Joyful Joyful.

[@markkerr3671]

Not only is Sohyang classically trained she is a professor of music also. I think she would be more than qualified to teach you. If you would be so fortunate😊

[@skyandghost]

She was not classically trained and she is not a professor, but was a guest speaker at universities.

[@MariosPOS]

Okay, I'm about to write a lot because I know Chase will read this lol: I like that you guys pointed out that you think her weaker spot is her lower register. That has never really been a point of contention among vocal technique fans, since she does spend a considerable amount of time in her belting range and that's where she shines, but I do wanna lay out my thoughts out on you guys. It took me a few years to actually realize this about SoHyang, but when I did, a lot of things made sense. Essentially, her issue in the lower register isn't thyroarytenoid muscle underdevelopment, but rather an unfamiliarity with a wider range of muscle coordinations of her chest register. SoHyang rarely ever sings in pure chest voice. She usually carries some _slight_ head voice muscle engagement when singing in her lower register because it provides a sweeter and lighter tonal quality, and that's usually what she goes for. It's the reason she sounds less projected and weaker. I call them "mixy lows". If you hear her rendition of songs such as "It's Only My World" (a rock song), you'll hear her actually engaging full chest voice and projecting into the mid 3rd octave with no issue and considerable chest resonance. It's like two ends of the chest voice spectrum. Dark, projected, full VS light, weak-ish, brighter. The issue is that her instrument down there isn't as evened out as the rest of her voice is, so she rarely ventures into muscle coordinations that lie between those two ends of the spectrum. (They aren't total ends, yes, but I'm trying to make a point). Regardless, I don't think it's arguable that her chest voice is 'underdeveloped', since you can very, very clearly hear a strong, present and thick chest resonance in her mixed voice. That isn't achievable without proper thyroarytenoid muscle development and proper muscle coordination. The second thing I would like to mention is that I like that you also pointed out that she "works hard" when engaging her abdominal/core area. She has mentioned that that is one of the keys to the way she sings, as (according to her) she is "a singer who relies on breathing". In my mind, she is one of the only contemporary singers to have mastered the art of "appoggio" so well. I'm sure Melia is familiar with this concept. Proper diaphragmatic breath support/engagement extends beyond just regulating your airflow accordingly to fit each vocal phrase. Proper regulation and balance of the air *pressure* (according to not only the duration of the vocal phrase, but also the volume, the register, the placement and the implementation of secondary techniques that change the shape of the vocal tract, such as twang) is crucial to alleviating extrinsic muscle tension from the laryngopharyngeal set of muscles that surround the larynx and make up the vocal tract. That's one of the reasons that she's able to venture to as high as the beginning of the 6th octave in a fairly balanced mixed voice with virtually no extrinsic muscle tension and a relatively relaxed and freely moving/fairly neutral larynx. If I'm being honest, I never fully understood how appogggio can affect muscle contraction of the vocal tract, so if you two can enlighten me on this, please do. It's very unclear how extensive her vocal training is, but there a lot of things I can hear that point to classical singing influences, such as her ability to implement chiaroscuro when she wants to, her implementation of twang, her "forward placement", her masterful use of appoggio and the widening of the pharyngeal space by lowering her larynx. She was definitely trained into gospel belting though. In my opinion, she was not classically trained. She doesn't have the head voice of a classically trained opera soprano, HOWEVER, she is the only female contemporary singer I've heard to sing the way male opera tenors do. She rarely does this, but in some songs (like "Do You Know") she goes chesty, adds twang, lowers her larynx and "places in the mask", which is the recipe for the classically trained tenor sound. It sounds very good. Lastly, to answer your question, she is mixing. Above the first passagio it's virtually impossible to "fully belt" aka use pure chest voice. Unless you pull up your chest voice (Christina Aguilera I'm looking at you), then you mix. But she can control her ratio, placement, tonal balance and weight. That's why she's so versatile and so in-control.

[@ChaseandMelia]

WOW!! This is full of amazing commentary on vocal pedagogy! Hats off to you, your understanding of the voice is impressive and insightful. First let me say, I love your saying “mixy-lows” feels like a great description for what we’re hearing! Now to answer your question about appoggio and it’s effect on muscle contraction. (This is Melia, surprise 😅 - chase and I talked about this because I was too excited) I think of it as basic physics of phonation. We need consistent airflow in order for our vocal folds to fully and properly phonate. Think of the grass example, you hold to blades of grass together and blow through them and they whistle or hum. If you’ve ever tried this, the air must be consistent and steady in order for you to make a sound. Obviously our blades of grass (vocal folds) are surrounded by a complex case of muscle, tissue and cartilage, and because of this, we can compensate for the lack of consistent airflow by using our muscles to create sound. It is my understanding that by using your air with consistent pressure and what I hesitate to call control, you allow your vocal folds to naturally adduct, and you make your natural sound. Now there are a lot of factors that go into this, the register in which your singing would effect the amount of air and the pressure in which you exhale but these are all minute changes and the concept would generally be the same for wherever you sing. There’s so much more we’d love to address, we’re considering making a video about this! Chase also has opinions and thoughts so we might just do a video response!

[@Littlewings_P]

People sometimes misunderstand that she might have classical training because of her mixed high belting. I think she is a singer who symbolizes the SLS. But that does not mean that she is the disciple of the SLS.. Seth riggs only gave her a few tips,, but rather, it would be fair to say that his SLS method was justified by her presence. Her teachers were Mariah and Whitney on the radio, and she was the only one who trained herself.

[@AC-ju5yu]

She took an old time gospel song and re wrote it into this master class. . She has not been classically trained but has worked hard to improve. She had a few sessions with Seth Richard's to work on her mixed voice. She also gave lectures at a Korean University and had her own music school. She has also sang in churches in over 60 countries. She is devoted Christian and sings not for money and fame but to bring comfort to those in need though she has struggled with this conflict. She has turned down many contracts the latest being with Sony. Keep up reactions. I'd suggest the Begin Again performances like I Will Always Love You, Love Poem, her own song Stay and Misty to see another side of her.

[@kbar5821]

The whole topic of "Is it mix or chest with twang?" gets super heated for some reason but she says it's a mix and credits her work with Seth Riggs for helping her to figure out how to balance it properly. Otherwise she's self taught and if you look at her videos from before 2010 or so you can see evidence that she had an "Aha" moment and went from super unstable and pitchy in her upper register to pretty much what we hear today. The thing that stands out for me is exactly the observation you made about her presence onstage which can't help but make you feel good. She has something special that allows her to connect with her audience in a way that I think is unique. She doesn't just sing a song like this, she lives it and she invites Everyone to live it with her (see what I did there?) Anyway, great reaction and please do some more from The Queen!

I would prefer them to react to her performance of Dream on the same concert instead (with subtitles).

Thank you so much for great analysis and reaction. Sohyang said that the seven-minute song was the most difficult performance in her life. With all her might, she delivered the message of consolation, hope and courage that she wanted to convey in a touching way. She is just amazing and an inspirational artist. Especially I was surprised by her amazing physical strength before her incredible vocal technique. I'm a choir member, but it's physically very difficult to sing a long seven-minute song, and if you don't have a lot of practice, you'll have a sore throat. She is a great vocal monster.

I'm sad to see you guys have no subtitles. This song is magic. The lyrics are very simple. keep repeating But when Sohyang sings this in a different way, it evokes a completely different feeling. Sadness, comfort, sympathy, joy, etc. I am your friend I am your brother i am your song I am your joy But who comforts me when I'm lonely? that's you So, the song title is 'Everyone', a song that comforts the soul.

I was a peace corps teacher , ESL, in Korea in the 1971-75. I am very surprised and I have seen a number of reaction videos That very few people mention that English is her third language.. And her pronunciation is impeachable. She is magnificent.

I am crading for another Sohyang. Please do it!

[@rodneynelson1142]

She is a tactician. Every song she sings is arranged and modified to her specs by her and her people. If she sings something a certain way, it’s been thought out and planned. Not to mention her English diction is great considering it’s her second language . Just a personal preference, but to me the best songs she has performed in all her tv appearances was for the Korean King of Mask Singer show. She won multiple times . But those usually get blocked very quickly . Check those when you get a chance .

I recommend watching her arirang alone performance too I really enjoyed it!!

Great reaction ,Thank You! If you wanted to be taught by SoHyang, you can,Sohyang gives lectures about singing and vocal technique at Baekseok University in Cheonan City.South Korea. She never had any formal classical training, though she has sung on occasion with Korean Opera star,Sumi Jo! She has had little formal training, though she had a few lessons with famous American vocal coache(Michael Jackson’s vocal coach amongst others)Seth Riggs! Mostly learning by listening and from other artists, especially Gospel and working with Micheal Bolton, David Foster, Kirk Franklin, Josh Groben and some Korean singers and Producers/ writers! She once said she practices a song 100 times before performing it in Public! She also has written successful Fantasy Novels and several Religious based Books as well ! Besides speaking Korean, French and English, she speak a little Vietnamese, Chinese and possibly A little Japanese as well . She is amazing!Ps. She is the Queen of mix!

I hear your point… But ghost love score is still a very complicated song, and she (Floor) needed to do like four different voices to sing it.

[@ihasfrancoxd2208]

The part where she is speaking says this, "if when I am lonely, who will comfort me?" Then she says, "It's you(as in everyone)." Which is the title of the song. This song overall has a gospel influence and is talking about how Jesus is our forever brother, song and friend! So Hyang is a Christian, so this song was a huge tribute to her faith, and for anyone out there going through tough times!! Stay safe ya'll, hope my comment shed some light on the song!!

[@tomsawyer2768]

She is the queen of mix and no classical training but Seth Riggs taught her mixed voice and she uses it up to Eb5 a lot ! It’s one reason that she is so easy to listen to not like many or even most Lyric soprano’s! To me she sound more like a Lyric coloraturas soprano. Probably because she uses mix so much that her voice is easy on the ears and nerves, LoL !

[@terrielopez2110]

Not because someone studied music, they are great singers. Accept the fact that there are some who are vocally gifted and born with it.

[@thadiusplug7666]

her mix voice is one of the best in the world
