How to Use Vocal Compression, Air Flow & Fry for Maximum Tone & Intensity (no pain or fatigue req'd)

[@ulfrik7825]

To those who don't know. Chris's vocal course ("Discover your voice" and "Mixed voice and Madness practice pack") is ABSOLUTELY GREAT!!! Join his vocal course. You won't regret it guys. I've already finished his first course ( "Discover your voice") and I want to say I've learned a lot from that, especially vocal fry and vowel placement. Also I learned mixed voice. This channel is GOLD on KZbin.

Man! You seem to be the only vocal coach who actually makes videos on vocal lessons while others are into some vocal reacts trend. I lately discovered this channel and I gladly exploit the knowledge that you provide for free and which others charge a ton. And even though I mostly sing pop but rock is a greater teacher. I hope you will continue to provide knowledge even when your channel reaches tremendous success which it will for sure.

[@alexyodson5749]

Looking at you Tristan In all fairness you have to remember that most of them are professional vocal coaches making KZbin videos and not KZbin vocal coaches. So much more money to be made giving private lessons. It's not practical teach on KZbin as a job. Once you put your lessons on KZbin no one needs to pay you to teach them.

[@s1l3nt45]

I'm not kidding. This video saved my life. When Chris mentioned where to place the grit, I thought "hmm, it's true, i've never payed attention to that". In the end, the reason why I couldn't sing a whole song without simply ROASTING my throat was the placement. I was placing the grit below my larynx. I fixed that and all of a suddenly I started singing 12 songs in a row without pain. It's unbelievable.

[@joshuaalfred8307]

Chris I have to say this video has nothing short of changed my life. I’ve been struggling to sing with compression and breath support consistently for years. I could never tell if what I was doing was compression or twang or something else. My head voice was too breathy or loud, mix too loud and lacking resonance, falsetto hit and miss, distortion was a pipe dream. Never could pin point what the problem was. Soon as I watched this and went through the exercises something clicked and instantly things have fallen into place. I have so much more control now. I can sing soft. I can sing loud. I can even sing with rasp!! (Ask my wife she’ll tell you how much I have wanted that last one). Sorry for the long post mate but honestly I’m so grateful. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

[@danielmerrison4838]

[@LT_Dangles_Music]

Lately, I’ve been seriously considering getting professional vocal lessons because I simply can’t get my voice to be what I want it to be, and vocal lessons on KZbin are very subpar. Now, at 4:35am, unable to sleep, you pop up on my recommended feed. I just gained so much more confidence in my ability to correctly integrate proper techniques into my vocals *safely*. Thank you for all these wonderful videos. Nothing on KZbin, or anywhere else, can compare to these lessons 💙🤘🏻

[@soyamilk5082]

NAH CUZ I COULDN'T STOP LAUGHING TRYING TO DO THE POOP EXERCISE HELP, but this has been definitely the best help out there for this specific vocal trick, since i had absolutely no idea how to do it, thanks man

[@vladkuznet1]

This is great as it's like you stretch with CT muscle first (sounds airy, high and weak), then activate the TA muscle which is when you hear the grit and meaty sound. Adding volume or activating support even more to stay engaged with TA muscle. The trick is to develop and master that activation of TA when CT stretches it. Many times people have one or the other but hard to develop coordination of both.

[@chrisliepe]

YES! right on!

[@jordanwaggoner7579]

I cant really afford good vocal lessons and have searched the internet for months trying to find good tutorials to no avail. But after only watching a handful of your videos you have dramatically changed my singing voice for the better. So thank you, thank you for everything. I've always wanted to be a singer but never felt like I had what it took and now when I hit notes I've never thought I could ever hit it almost brings tears to my eyes. Again thank you so much your work is inspiring please never stop.

[@theophany1770]

I’ve heard it’s a good idea to go back to a clean sound when you’re done with this type of singing and then do a vocal cool down. My voice is getting scratchy and I have to cough while doing this. Thanks for the info, I’ll keep working on it bro!

[@chrisliepe]

Yes, this is something I should have maybe touched on. I'll be talking about this in a video I post later this week as well!

[@StratMatt777]

@@chrisliepe I'm at 12:26 in the vid and I'm gonna have to go to bed and resume tomorrow, but this is VERY exciting that you are a vocal coach on KZbin who is actually really teaching us how to make distortion/grit instead of making a clickbait title where they demonstrate it and then refer us to their program. Honestly, just the anticipation of the thought that you are going to actually show me how to make grit for FREE, out of the kindness of your heart and desire to help people, makes me want to PayPal you $50+ and I'm not even 100% sure yet that I will know how to do the grit after I am able to watch the rest of the video.... but even just the IDEA that you care enough to show us how to really do this makes me want to throw money at you in appreciation. And I'm unemployed right now!!! I don't expect anyone to believe this, but I can sing just like Steve Perry and Michael Jackson and Jason Mraz and I can even do an imitation of Smokey Robinson by making my larynx super high and using it (instead of air modulation) for vibrato. I can sing like Layne Staley of Alice IN Chains BUT I CANNOT MAKE ANY GRIT/Distortion!!! So this video is EPIC!!! Thank you so much, Cris! I cannot wait to resume it tomorrow evening! Regarding clearing the scratchiness (prior to your video about it being posted), perhaps Roger Love's technique would be helpful for DTuned? Talk like Yogi Bear saying "Hey hey, boo boo!" with your Larynx super super low. (Look it up if you aren't old enough to know what Yogi Bear sounds like). I ASSume that lowering the larynx like this is probably stretching the vocal chords out kind of like stretching a tight tendon, but I have not idea what I am talking about and am probably wrong! :) I'm really concerned about damaging my voice, so I'm wondering why does DTuned have a scratchy voice from doing these exercises that are supposed to involve no pain or fatigue? Hey, why do Chris Cornell (RIP) and Richie Kotzen (and the singer from the band Big Wreck to a lesser degree) all sound so similar? Are they using the same technique to make their grit? Like, maybe the technique they use to make grit is to constrict and close up the back of their throat (like above the base of the tongue) and so they sound almost the same as each other? I'm also suspecting that this is how Steven Tyler of Aerosmith does that scratchy "Ya ya yow" thing that he does because it sounds really constricted to me. And Angus Young of AC/DC sounds even more constricted. In fact, I can almost get his sound. Maybe this could be a video if you think it is worthy? "Distortion: Why Chris Cornell and Richie Kotzen sound the SAME" :) Thanks for being awesome and giving us this gold, man. It's amazing and greatly appreciated. I mean, I can sing all of Michael Jackson's "Man In the Mirror" (though it is iffy after the modulation) but I can't do ANY of the grit. And when I do the 7 "woos" at karaoke my voice is shot for 2 or 3 days (I quit doing that in 2009!). Same thing happens if I do the "For MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" in Bohemian Rhapsody.... the voice is scratchy and anhilated for 2 days (I quit doing that years ago too). Let me know if this message was too short. :P

[@chrislestermusic]

StratMatt777 This is a great comment! Cornell, Kotzen and Thornley all have very similar vocal tones/styles. Cornell barely opened his mouth half of the time which shows that I don’t think he was pushing a lot of air for volume. It seems like head “placement/resonance” is where their volume comes from. As far as the scratchyness goes, I get that if I try and do fry or glottal compression without warming my voice up first. Vocal warmups in my experience are critical. If you read about Myles Kennedy and his warmups, they are pretty extensive and he seems to have no vocal issues being on tour constantly. He doesn’t do as much compression now as he did with the Mayfield Four. Personally, I think if you are getting scratchyness or fatigue then you may be doing something incorrectly. I imagine Chris will weigh in here on all of this. Straining and pushing too much air past the folds seems to be the biggest culprits when it comes to fatigue and hoarseness. But I am only speaking from my own experience. I too am looking to get glottal compression into my toolbox so I am very thankful for these videos.

[@theophany1770]

StratMatt777 thanks for the advice man. I think my throat is scratchy because I’ve just started this and this technique is hit or miss. I’m working on Man in the Box and have seen Ken Tamplins vid on that song. I’ve been singing for years but nothing really challenging like the rock metal stuff. Belting the A#4 in the chorus of Man in the Box is really challenging me and right now it’s totally clean

[@StratMatt777]

@@theophany1770 I appreciate your comment because you have scared me away from trying to do this exercise... I only got up to 12:26 in the video last night but my voice is a little bit hoarse and that freaks me out. In just the last 4 days I have happened upon 4 different guitarists giving the advice to stop trying to imitate other players because it will hold you back from finding your own voice.... I think I will apply that to my singing too and stop trying to be Layne Staley myself. HUGE LAYNE STALEY FAN HERE. HUGE! I've been singing for 30 years. When AIC "Dirt" was just released I was a teenager driving around in my car singing my ass off to it (but not with grit). I'm in Seattle, so when Layne Died I and a friend went to the unofficial public gathering at the fountain and the Seattle Center which served as an unofficial funeral type gathering to remember the guy. DON'T WRECK YOUR VOICE MAN. Maybe this is something we should work on with a vocal coach in person.... which I think is what Ken Tamplin says...

[@mcgoogs]

Chris, I can’t thank you enough for being so cool with looking silly in order to demonstrate a point. There’s often such a disconnect in my vocal lessons, in that it’s VERY difficult to communicate how things should feel. You make it crystal clear to an entire audience. It’s more helpful than you even know! 👏

[@nirinarabeson]

omg 1 year later after watching this video once a month I finally got it!!! Grit, compression, power... Amazing... Thank you so much! For those who are still trying, here is what I found out: The last element I was lacking of was a really strong support. I noticed I made up for my lack of support with vibrato (another topic covered my Chris Liepe). To solve this issue, I tried to really engage my poop muscles to hold long notes without vibrato, and once I figured this out this video made so much sense. I added compression and got the sound I was looking for almost right away. I think what makes it easier is to get in the spirit and the mindset of a rock singer (as you said in the Dave Grohl video) and not be afraid to make some (loud) silly noises. Thanks again!

As a singer that uses extreme compression (check my Periphery or BMTH covers) I have to say that this tutorial is very accurate and trustable!

1:27-1:53 -- anyone else get a bit of a Morgan Rose from Sevendust vibe from those screams? you really got me listening now ...

[@BhargavaMan]

Dude I've gone through multiple courses for vocals, but this stuff right here is the best I've ever come across. Thank you, KZbin recommendations!

[@NikosPage]

16:46 is really helpful to practice along to

[@jkem0]

I hit it, man you are my saviour I love you for this great explanation. And the fact that you arent't afraid to show all those 'silly' noises, which are just stages that every vocalist has to get through, brings a lot of encouregment.

[@arielclark4945]

First technique you shows is like the fundamental technique for tuvan throat singing. Pharyngeal singing

[@zsoltunterweger9367]

Hi, you are so fun to watch, yet so educational, most of these online coachings are usually boring, and made too short, like just let's get rid of it.. I'm so happy I found this channel, I'm signed for the lessons, and you gave me the motivation back I needed, when I felt like singing is not for me. Thank you!

Great video again! I really learn something new every time I watch one of your videos. It's so great. Because you explain things right down the baby-level. I've got a question: Its interesting that you mention you had to take breaks a few days sometimes when experimenting with this stuff. I've noticed with myself, that I seem to have this repeating cycle: Day 1: Great singing. Energy, power. Can sing for 2-3 hours. Day 2: Good. Some power. Day 3: Not bad. But voice feels tired. Can't hit the notes (in mix voice), that I could on day 1. Day 4: My voice just doesn't wanna go into mix. Every time I try, it takes all my energy, and the notes I hit sound strained. Day 5: Gotta just not sing for the day. Let myself rest. Few days later: Back to day 1, my voice is full of energy and power. If you have the time to kindly (Just looking for a simple answer), is this is quite normal for beginners? Or is this because I'm using bad technique? Thank you so much again! Have a nice day!

Thanks for reaching out! Yes, all singers certainly need rest...no one is exempt! That’s great you’re AWARE of some of your own rhythm - that’s an important key to discovering your own voice. Of course, there’s always more for us to learn and grow in and discover, too! Check out this video that talks about taking good care of our voices: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpavdmeOidGHgac

So pleasant to watch you playing with your voice. 😀😀😀

😂😂😂😂 say no more

[@andreethrasher5790]

Thank you, i wont be hurting my voice never again untill i got this technique done.

[@NicolasHosford]

This is explained perfectly.

[@greggunnard4630]

At least one legit guy to explain us what to do ! It’s literally the best information on the internet about distortion. I’ve followed a masterclass in France from a famous screaming teacher and I can say that everything said here is legit ! Thanks a lot Chris. I’m gonna practice that and scream the shit out of my lungs now.

[@chrisliepe]

Nice :)

[@jmerdsoy]

I'd love to see you deconstruct Devin Townsend in a future video. Maybe a reaction video?

[@SavvierNelson]

Oh damn, the key point here, believe it or not, was the fact that you should imagine the compression going down instead of up! That was a key point for my false cord stuff, thanks!

[@chrisliepe]

Nice... You're very welcome!

[@somefuckindude4236]

So we can come AAAAALLLLLLLIIIIIIIVVVVVEEEEE!!!!!!!!

[@HenryAllen04]

This is the best video I’ve found on this subject. Very comprehensive. Thank you Chris!

[@mckcheezy835]

I wish this guy was my coach

[@chrisliepe]

I can be :) start by joining my free course in the video info!

[@backspacing101]

jesus dude you're the most amazing vocal coach i ever had i swear to god

[@elby6980]

Great video, man!!! I would love to see a video on how to incorporate more chest into our mix to make that transition more subtle. Also that editing at 1:28 was awesome, gave me chills!

[@chrisliepe]

Thanks! I'll be doing more on mixed voice for sure. I'll make sure and touch on this!

[@ricblademaster]

Can't thank you enough man... You will help countless people to unleash their hidden talent out there. No doubt! Many many thanks!

[@rocknrye9273]

It's not as intense as you think! (Video clip right after) AHHHHHHHHHH (Veins buldging out, head trembling) lmfao 😂😂😂
