The Singing Style of Eddie Vedder (Open, Resonant, NOT WHAT YOU THINK)

[@Azatdawn]

Great video as always. Also, for anyone who reads this: Chris' videos on youtube led me to his free voice lessons led me to buy his online singing course and I couldn't be happier with it. I've been singing for about 20 years now, starting out by just trying to sound like my idols (Eddie Vedder, Chris Cornell, Layne Staley...), I had voice lessons and took online courses. While I credit all of them with improving my singing, Chris does something that is absolutely unique (in my experience): he truly gives you the tools to explore all the great possibilites YOUR OWN voice has. This cannot be rated high enough. If you are truly interested in becoming a better singer, at least check out his free course. Chris, thanks a lot, I'm at week seven right now (taking my sweet time, there is a lot to experiment with) and I'm very happy to have discovered you. You're a great teacher.

[@chrisliepe]

[@JCT1926]

I agree, people think Eddie's swallowing his tongue when he sings, lol. The singer from Creed does that, not Eddie. Also, Eddie's voice is still great today, unlike many.

[@anabiscan5120]

I was just thinking the same thing.. Great post

[@LyricalBlock32]

Eddie's voice is no longer as great as it used to be. He just doesn't scream anymore, something which has always been his personal seal...

[@booski1865]

Excellent analysis. It drove me crazy for at least a decade hearing all the imitators misunderstand his voice and listeners seemingly not notice or care. One of my favorite Vedder vocal moments is in Elderly Woman, the climb and eventual peak with "my God it's been so long, never dreamed you'd return" I've probably sang it over a hundred times trying to get it right and never been satisfied.

[@chrisliepe]

Right on!!

[@davidhenriques9048]

Good old eddie, my wife loves pearl jam actually, she knows all the lyrics and stuff, man the 90s gave us amazing rock singers. Have you heard the soundtrack eddie did for "into the wild" (great movie by the way, directed by sean penn), its a surprisingly good album, it has some of his more subdued songs, lots of those soulfull notes there, its worth a listen for sure

[@wereoursouls3472]

Yeah, the Into the Wild soundtrack is in my top 10. Beautiful album.

[@pitchforker3304]

[@dillon7748]

Chris, this video was actually a huge breakthrough in me understanding my own voice. I have a pretty deep, resonant voice like Eddie so it can be pretty hard to find singers to emulate and study how they utilize a voice that's that low. I know this is an old video, so don't know if you'll see this, but it would be really cool if you could do a video about basses using examples from rock and mainstream music sometime, since I feel like we tend to get kind of left out in the conversation lol. Thanks for these videos, they're more helpful than you probably even realize!

[@CipherSerpico]

This is probably the best video I’ve ever seen for vocal training. This is insanely informative. Subscribed. Also, a fun fact about Eddie-his main vocal influence is Bono. Most people don’t know that. But if you go listen to albums like Joshua Tree, you can definitely hear the influence.

[@gabrielximenes3431]

Thanks, my man! You just put on words and examples what i've always felt about Eddie Vedder but couldn't explain. I listen to people trying to sound like him and it's really dumb sometimes. I love your channel. Thank you!

[@MrADenial]

Finally, yes! I've been saying this about Eddie's voice for years. Good to know someone else can actually hear him properly.

[@wereoursouls3472]

Let's just thank the creation for giving us Eddie Vedder and Pearl Jam.

[@johncristy7540]

I think explaining Eddie's singing style technically is a great project in itself, thanks much, for he's my all time favorite... ...though I think it should be added how and why he (or any other singer/musician) comes up with their style of singing/playing. And I think it has greatly something to do with the personal philosophy of the person: which with Vedder, I think is 'no pretension, not singing to impress but just to express'... which, 'translates' into his style of singing and in all its technicalities and choice of lyrics... Cuz we might be able to learn or actuate/perform all the correct technical attributes of Vedder's singing styles, but without knowing 'philosophically, where he/it is emanating from' (to express uncompromisingly, not to impress, which innately entails basing what/how you are or what/how you do [sing/play] on others' approval), ... ...we might not still fully understand and truly feel-ingly perform, his style... (Or any other singer/musician for that matter...) (For example, if one's personality is more of the wanting-to-impress-others kind, however he learnt and perfected Vedder's singing style, it will still sound fake or 'un-Vedder-ish', much like a jazzer by heart playing the notes of a Mozart piece perfectly.... His real [singing] 'feel' will 'show' inadvertently...) ... (?)

[@chrisliepe]

Agree on all points

[@TarzanHedgepeth]

Yeah. And I resonate with how you think(especially with thought-boxes instead of with normal grammar and clauses - because we’re expressing how we think IN THE ONLY WAY we can through text; expression, expression…). And yet, grammar is kind of there.

But Scott sounds similar to Eddie, do you think that its proposital? Cause sounds very natural for Scott

[@jeffjones7012]

@@Rickbassplayer your mom's a proposital

[@SeanJMay]

@@Rickbassplayer Vedder gets the sound by just having a very low and resonant voice. He has a surfer dude affect from all of his years in San Diego... Surfer dude with a huge, low voice. Stapp on the other hand, chews his words like he was trying to be John Wayne. It's not that those sounds are outside of Stapp’s range, but he braces for all of them, to intentionally round all of them out, regardless of where they are in the phrase or his register. When you do that rounding to imitate Vedder, you really get Pearl Jam a la Stapp. You’d have a hard time making that part of “Just Breathe” in this video sound good with Stapp’s drawl. Instead of low-but-fragile it would sound heavy and plodding. If you don't have a lot of resonance down there, you’re going to sound thinner than he does. But that's just life. He could trade places with Johnny Cash, Brad Roberts of the Crash Test Dummies, or Isaac Hayes, if Seattle alt-rock lent itself to that range. Other people can't. I actually think it's to Vedder’s credit that he can belt as high and as controlled as he can, given his resting position puts him squarely in baritone, in a time and genre that favoured tenors and contratenors.

[@Rickbassplayer]

@@SeanJMay thanks for the explanation man! I've always wondered if Scott forced to sound like that or not.

OMG, i am a little late but hey... I always could feel that, listening to Creed singer or some other "singers", but i could never explain it.

I could never took them serious and i hated every note coming out of them.Eddie is unique.Unparalelled.He is force of nature. Amazing voice, original voice and he became a trope codifier. So smart how you let us hear his talking voice first and that is how he sings. I was always saying to people, for the love of God listen the way that man speaks!!!!I think that was brilliant what you did. Thank you so much for doing this video. This just needed to be said and you did an incredible job explaining things just perfect.It's mind blowing watching how you hear things, understand what is going on and then explain and show and repeat everything and compering how others sing that same thing..

Sounding like a broken record here with my comments on so many of your videos, but I keep being amazed by how well you explain complex things 🤘🏽 taking so many notes both mentally and in the Notes app! experimenting with my voice was - and is - daunting especially with people around the house, but you’ve made it so much fun that I don’t really care if I sound bad/stupid. More abstractly though, I think you express a very Adlerian way of the world; if you haven’t read it already, I think you’d enjoy the book ‘The Courage to be Disliked’. These videos and exercises have been a perfect medium to put the concepts in the book into real world situations. Thanks and all the best ❤

Great analysis of Eddie’s voice! Really got a lot out of it! For more low end style singers, I’d love to hear either Mark Lanegan and/or Rufus Wainwright. To my ear they both have great tone, vibrato, and do cool things with compression. Thank you once again!🙏

This guy is awesome. Great analysis and tips

[@ghastlyshimmer]

Just discovered your channel 2 days ago. Man you're awesome you're showing the samples even the mistakes that people commonly made. Pretty cool. I would love to know if you have time analyze Jonny Craig's voice. It's pretty interesting. A RnB style with grit that is different than usual distortion. I suggest songs if his like. Emarosa - pretend release the close Emarosa - The past should stay dead

It seems like his "grit" is so controlled its so crazy. I cannot find a single video about how to do that Here's some example of him live kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqq2Y6aXqdt_frs

Thanks for your video. It would be very interesting to make a video and compare the way he sung live in the early years to the later ones.

[@chrisliepe]
