Singers: How to Develop Power the RIGHT Way (Have you discovered this?)

[@valderamusic]

How the hell is this guy not famous???? I mean teaching aside .... his voice is AMAZING! Better than anything on the radio today.

[@chrisliepe]

Thank you!! :) Glad you're enjoying the videos!

[@RockAlongRecords]

right?!!!

[@IAMNODINE]

For real he is a genius da best vocal trainer I hv ever seen 🎼

[@RaoniFrancoVideos]

Man, the pooping technique is genius. I´ve seen many teachers explaining how to engage the right muscles for singing but none is as clear as this. Thanks!

[@chrisliepe]

You're welcome!! Glad it helped!

[@WizardOfArc]

How do keep from actually pooping? 😮😮😮😮

[@chrisliepe]

haha... I've found that I need to make sure I've done my business before practicing powerful singing. Let's just leave it at that :) @@WizardOfArc

[@thematei]

LMAO :))

[@dynatwenty]

3:37 BEFORE. :D

[@40nights40daystv]

THIS MAN SAVED MY VOICE, I was really screwing up my voice in a hardcore band and his videos with a little practice on the technique literally saved me from injury. love ya man! thanks for the quality free content!

[@samuelcf97]

This made me finally "get" breath support

[@NinjaSpecter]

I know, right? I finally understand what they all mean by "breath support" on a theoretical and physical level which I can clearly see how it will help me improve and how I can actually put it in practice.

[@pleasingannie467]

Great lesson! This is what vocal teachers are trying to construe when they say "sing from your diaphragm". Explaining how things are supposed to feel helps so much...awesome channel!

[@vegeta1885]

Yeah too bad most of them can't show or make you feel like he did. Ordering a student do nothing, because a beginner singer has no idea about anything.

[@Karettu]

Chris is Litterally giving info for free that costs heap of money with other teachers, this support thing changed my voice in instant

[@MultiBadboy666]

Oh, I think I finally get it now. So when we sing a phrase, the support muscles kind of dip, flex, and relax constantly to push the air upwards. I used to just constantly push air upwards without using those muscles like this; basically, I just locked them in place without those dips and blew a continuous stream of air always. It sounds much better and feels more natural like this. Thanks a lot.

[@humbellie7208]

Again I must thank you Chris, for 2 years now I’ve been working on vocals (even though I hate my own voice ) I finally got the courage to really let it hang on jam day and all I’ve heard is complainants, “you’ve really come a long way” “ that’s the best youve ever sounded” and it’s all because I found you and employed your teachings. Thank you brotha, keep up the good work

[@mythsqueuemusic]

Been learning to sing seriously for almost a year and I just figured this out today, and alas I can sing freely it’s incredible ! On the right path finally

[@WSGtr12]

So far 19 people have actually shat themselves lol. Great video once again! :)

[@GdeVseSvobodnyeNiki]

I actually farted out loud trying to do this

[@SP-mf9sh]

Thank you for being the best vocal teacher on the internet! I'm not kidding. Most people don't get into detail like you..they say "sing from your stomach" and I'm like how?? Tell us!

[@isynoptic1821]

My whole life I’ve done it wrong and all my muscle memory for vocals are merely bad habits so I must start from scratch… already I’m hearing a difference! Im not doing songs not doing words for the next good while, focusing only on developing proper diaphragmatic support. .. in about a month or two I’ll put up a before and after… That’s how confident I am with how much better it’s sounding. Thank you!

[@aaravheroraina729]

You didn't post the before and after man

[@lespaul1755]

[@isynoptic1821]

Negative, the differences especially today are insane. Thanks. @@lespaul1755

[@isynoptic1821]

Oh my fault, that was for Chris .@@aaravheroraina729

[@neilbonavita8623]

YES!! Your videos have totally changed and developed my control and support. I'm so grateful!

[@GambitRaps]

Man, watching your videos has helped me so much. I’ve always sung from up in my neck and always wonder why my voice came out so thin and would get worn out after a single recording session. I still haven’t mastered the correct techniques yet, but I’m super hyped about the journey to get there. You the best

[@loganbarr9808]

I can’t express how thankful I am for this video. The sigh doesn’t explain the muscles properly and iv just been flexing my stomach, not my insides. Thank you thank you thank you

[@Chupacabramusic]

Those first takes in the booth sounded great man. The high notes on the brink of a crack but guarded sounded so good man

[@creeksiderockmusic]

I definitely feel like we are family!! With the love you have for singing and the passion you have to give others all your wisdom is very much appreciated!! You just dont give a 1 min video. You are an inspiration to us all!! Thank You so much for your articulations Chris!!!

[@garrettparker9369]

Best singing teacher by far. You get straight to the point and have no boundaries for vocal expression. I was watching Ken Tamplin for a minute and he was a good singer but he didn’t strike me as good as a teacher as you.

[@chrisliepe]

Thank you so much!

[@names1842]

the pooping technique just fixed so many of my problems this is amazing

[@CentaurPress]

Speaking of powerful singing sitting down, Layne Staley on MTV Unplugged was amazing. He is soooo relaxed and he sounds amazing!

[@isynoptic1821]

Uhh, I just blew the back out of my shorts, nailed it😎 On a more serious note, love this video! After first discovering it, I could hear major improvements. But after a little while, I noticed I would slowly start reverting back to my old habits, unintentionally of corse. So I’m always having to come back and re-sync.. this vid is crucial

[@jakehahn2457]

Chris your explanations of support are simply fantastic, man. You’ve taken an abstract term (support) - and through exercises - turned it into recognizable bodily sensations; AND put them into the context of musical exploration. Top notch, my man. Thanks!

[@ApexofWar_]

Unbelievable what difference this makes. This probably just saved my voice for the long haul. And all the while giving more power & control from top to bottom.

[@Gwarnine]

This is not what i thought i would be doing today, but if there was anyman to lock eyes with while confidently almost shitting on my studio floor, it's you. This tells me that i have left my ego at the door, so i could sing better!

[@chrisliepe]

YES :) !!

[@Hanh-Solo]

I tried this practice, I'm shaking and sweating 😂 It's going to work, just I need to practice more.

man, your videos are both funny and helpful, keep up the good work

[@petraccamusic]

dude your video saved my singing. I had so much tension in my throat when singing but this video completely changed how singing felt to me. thank you so much!!!

[@rajaizzard]

i’ve had singing lessons for just under 2 years now and feel like i’m not making much progress. i’m not very confident in myself to try and perform to anyone but i’ve always wanted to. i’m specifically interested in more rock/metal vocals and learning screams and growls. i’m specifically wanting to sound most like Oli Sykes of bring me the horizon. i have been watching loads of your videos recently and they have helped me gain so much information and also some confidence to try out different things. when i try practicing by myself, i sometimes feel like i hold back a lot because i’m a bit anxious of what i might sound like, or if I’m too loud for others to hear me. i’m going to continue watching more of your videos, thanks so much for these!

[@valerypopov6499]

"THE SUPPORT" mystery solved completely Brilliant job, Chris!

[@caioaugusto6074]

Just felt obligated to comment. After finding the right feeling to engage the lower abs, it feels like the air flows effortlessly and much more rich. The difference in singing a song I was already comfortable was unbelievable. Another songs are not that easy to make this transition, maybe because my brain is already used to the wrong way. Now the objective is to relearn how to talk and sing to always engage like this hahahaha. Chris Liepe, you are amazing!

[@AxonRiseMusic]

Man, your vocal power and control is some of the most insane I’ve heard! Would you be able to do a video on exercises for compression/cord closure in the future? I struggle with this and feel like the muscles responsible are weak as hell for me.

[@chrisliepe]

Great idea!

[@jcepri]

The way i understood how it's supposed to feel when I have the best support is to sing a scale up and down while doing a sit up and try to maintain the same volume on the way up and down. Once you get the feeling, it's not difficult. It's so important to know what the diaphragm is and how it operates.

[@ambererdenechuluun8668]

This is genius! I've seen plenty of vocal coaches and done dozens of vocal exercises, but none of them are like this. Following Chris from now on. 👍

[@Realtimhe]

Great value! Even as a professional trained singer. Subscribed and belled

[@Bad_Phil]

Your vocal projections also remind me of Chris Daughtry at times!

[@paulmayer8654]

There name Chris and having a shaved head don't hurt that either lol

[@iammoog]

Dude - It's possible you've just changed my life by watching not even five minutes of your video. There's something about the way you imparted this info that just changed everything about the way I sing. I'm totally going to finish this vid and watch loads more of yours, but I've been busy preparing for a show I just had this past weekend. Usually after a 30 minute set, I'm fried and have burtn the top (and almost all) of my voice. Even though I came down with a cold on the day of my gig, I still got through the set and had barely hurt my voice at all. I was hitting higher notes I usually strain for after a couple of songs, right the way to the end of my set and was told by someone I trust that it's the best she's ever heard me sing. Usually, if I read what I've just written on a website, I'd completely dismiss it as a fake advert, but dude... THANK YOU. Can't wait to learn more.

[@trevfury]

I have gained a lot out of your unconventional methods of conveying how to sing healthy. I enjoy all your content, but this vid is one I keep coming back to. Thanks for doing what you do!

[@chrisliepe]

You're so welcome!

[@MaciejLapinski]

That was my problem for a very long time! I’ve always let not enough air flow through me and with high notes i was getting tried very fast. Plus it makes my singing more clear! This is what solves the problems! Huge difference in feeling after doing this exercises before singing! Thank you so much!!

[@YatiAcharya]

I've sent this to every person I've talked to about extreme singing, and I feel really good knowing that they'll find the same abilities as I did. You're the greatest, Chris. Thank you so much ❤️

[@chrisliepe]

Thanks for sharing it!

[@apsalmsbeat]

Im working with a vocal coach now but i just found you and feel sooo comfortable with your approach because being confused on singing correctly and strengthening my vocals has been a struggle

[@chrisliepe]

Welcome to the channel!

[@davewest2271]

Such a great, confident, comforting presence and teaching style. Thank you for this, I’ve been experiencing upper body tension while singing for a while, and that yawning/sticking the tongue while bearing down exercise is a great one to really get the feel! Much love ❤️

[@chrisliepe]

Wonderful!

[@GrzegorzWitkowski]

Just found your channel and watching you all day. Signed and have watched the Free Voice training already. You are really opening a whole new world for me. I used to "sing" many years ago, of course completely the wrong way not heaving any access to good materials back then and now just trying again to learn it the right way. You are a great educator and really pro. Fantastic channel, fantastic videos and content. Thank you very much.

[@darksidessj25]

I got a hang of diaphragm breathing but there was much more to it. I got a coach and I started leaning into the sound and feeling it. Believe me I felt it when I did. I just figured out where it was coming from and man... I just started laughing my ass off. You have to maintain focus there, but you know what that spot actual is in esoteric terms? It's Kundalini energy. I did meditations focusing on that. The energy literally rises naturally. I wish you all the best Chris. The right spot is no where near the voice. In fact the total opposite.

[@alexgomez3734]

It's basically about working out all of the kinks in every possible bit of your focal range call my so that you don't ever accidentally make any of these weird noises period I actually learned something similar when I went through puberty, as because I was Not only a soloist inquire, but starting our very first shitty garage band, I was trying to figure out how to sing better, Which had the added benefit of making my voice sound a lot less like someone who, apparently, was just begging get his asked repeatedly.

[@MrArchie800]

Thanks! After watching your vids for one night you've explained things sooo much better than I've learned in months from the self-proclaimed 'professionals'. Breaking things down into analogous but normal bodily feelings makes it so much easier for beginners like myself to understand things like support, fry, head voice and compression etc. Nice one!

[@cwilliammusic]

I need two videos from you. 1- How to sing from my diaphragm? 2- How to keep my pitch. When I out of tune is a Semitone and if I'm higher is a lot higher.

[@chrisliepe]

For the first request, join my free course in the video info. It explains all about how to sing from your diaphragm :) for the second, lookup “why your pitch is bad” on my channel and you’ll find what you’re looking for

[@cwilliammusic]

[@DeeQu8nT81]

Chris, I just found you several days ago. What a treasure it has been. In one of your videos, you advised against tilting your head up or down. But did you not tilt your head up in the beginning demo in this video? Was the mike placed too high? Please clarify for this newbie.

[@chrisliepe]

tilting your head to reach a pitch is a no no for sure. tilting to reach a mic, still probably not a great idea, but if it doesn't cause any tension... all good :)

[@edwardlawrence6349]

I sing karaoke Friday night I tried Heartbreak Hotel by Elvis Presley I've been listening to Chris for about 4 weeks I used all the techniques he was telling me but this one that he just done about the power is going to let me expand a perfect that song they said it karaoke I was at eighty-five 90% and it was only a second time that I tried that song in the last 3 weeks but this power technique it's going to take me over the edge to where I need to be thank you Chris and I shared it with one of the karaoke singers Friday night and got him hooked up with you on your tutorials on KZbin I'm figuring out the vote The Voice is like you said should be the last thing if you can learn these techniques on how to breathe and how to sing higher even higher than what you normally would it put you at ease because your vocal cords are muscles as long as you keep exercising even at higher Rangers or notes then when you're singing lower it's a piece of cake and you can feel it in your neck and throat if you pay attention like Chris tells you thank you again Chris

[@ViolaDennis]

Hi Chris, First of all thank you for the great videos, you helped me go from a simple deathcore vocalist to a diverse singer in less than a year's time. I developed a base for clean singing and proper screams fit for a modern metalcore band. We're currently working on our first EP. It's going to be amazing, but I really want to do pitch screaming and powerful distorted/compressed singing on the tracks, but I am afraid that I wont be able to pull it off, because something just doesn't feel right. Looking forward to watching a video for this or getting any tips!

[@chrisliepe]

Awesome! Thanks for introducing yourself DHML! I've done a course with my friend Spencer Sotelo from Periphery and we dive DEEP into powerful distorted/compressed singing as well a lots of other vocal production things.
