How to sing like David Bowie

[@inesportugal8590]

It kinda sounds like him indeed, but I didn't know David Bowie used to sing with a Scottish pronounce

[@PathyCathy]

this is my favourite video on earth i'm not even kidding i love you this much you sound exactly like him

[@davidconnelly]

...and that was my favourite comment on Earth. What a nice person you are. Thank you!

[@Abigart69]

David Connelly damn you’re so nice I’m so glad I searched this

[@bretjohnson6086]

Luna Elena right!!

[@reginaldwang6713]

I can still sing like Bowie these days regularly but, but, there was this day when I woke up and opened my mouth, my voice was EXACTLY like him in the Glass Spider era!!! Something was crooked in my throat or something, I recorded myself too and it was identical, it felt great too with the vibrato and range. Then I went to bed and woke up the next day and lost it!!! Damn it!!

[@TheEdwardNigma]

Could you please pm me the audio?

[@seamusin1697]

Chele Coniglio It was more likely because he was a heavy smoker for many years, his voice naturally receded with age, and, like many pop and rock singers, he never received formal training. Still, he had a very distinct and recognizable vocal delivery and sound that was uniquely his own and influenced many generations of rock singers that followed him.

[@halloweenjack95]

Chele Coniglio his voice had a much Lighter tone After he Quit Smoking. And even on his later Days he had a incredible vocal Range

[@AwesomeSauceYT]

hey man could you possibly send me the recordings as well?

[@gabrielrb5188]

this happened to me once, but it was with Janis Joplin's voice! i was able achieve her vocal range, the other day i coujldn't! =(

[@TehKola2]

I always come back to this video

[@leonardoschneider4094]

I don't know why this video doesn't have billion views yet. This is the best video ever!

[@Allaroundtheworld99]

This is actually so good I’m shook

[@taylorMFilms]

this is very funny. and good. Weird too. Funny, weird good.

[@TomMcClean]

Excellent David. This made me smile.

[@jamiehaenisch8190]

THIS IS SUCH A GLEAMING JEWEL ON THE INTERNET !

Still waiting for a cover

The 'Throat Thingy' is called 'Steptoe-ification'

Vibrato

[@raygoshay4096]

I've been a Bowie impersonator for decades - your method is pretty solid... I love singing non-Bowie tunes capturing his style, like "A Girl like You" or "Personal Jesus." Sometimes audience members ask when he recorded 'that song'... It's a hoot!

[@carlottarobbins7005]

Omigosh I clicked on this thinking it was going to be dumb, but this was hilarious and amazing - I want to try this now, but I feel a bit silly! :P Srsly, though, I hope he saw this, he would've loved it!

[@davidconnelly]

Thank you!

[@mromero521]

The throatie thing is the hardest!

[@barrett.mustaine8449]

His voice naturally already sounds like David's, but it was very good

[@lottielottie6659]

This was fantastic. My day just got a whole lot better. Heck, my life just got better. New favourite video

[@juliakmars]

Great!! It sounds really cool when you mix the three ingredients!!

[@TRFrench]

Perfect!! Thanx. Now for the clones :-): How do you sing like Andrew Eldridge (Sisters of Mercy)? How do you sing like Peter Murphy (Bauhaus)? How do you sing like Dave Gahan (Depeche Mode)?

[@gruntpocalypsenow]

TR French Eldritch isn't too hard, just sing very low and raspy.

[@nievesofficial]

Do I have to be British to do this? I wish I could do a good British accent.

[@valtiumzauzer7317]

Man!!! It´s imposible to sing like him!!!

[@verena9911]

i thought it's going to be stupid but it's actually really cool

[@Pug-v4h]

Holy cow this is amazing.

[@davidconnelly]

Thank you. Can I have some money?

[@LiftingChristNow]

that was priceless. I think I'm ready to hit the road now. now if I could only play like jimmy hindrix. I could be more popular than Miley cirus.

[@wrensnesting2776]

LiftingChristNow hendrix*

[@James-wd9ib]

Bowie's third "throat thingie" is called falsetto- but with a really dirty transition, like when you overblow into a shakuhachi flute. Thanks for this, David! Time to head to the karaoke bar to test this out...

[@lukawinner7509]

Oh, i like that video very much, im 19 y/o, and im fan of Bowie. I started to play his music some time ago, and your video helped me. Thanks, and sorry for my english, im from russia

[@ramonamahabir9158]

This is just maybe the best video on KZbin.

[@Nandyfull1987]

tank you....my birstday is today.,can you sing another one!

[@rissa4020]

HAHAHA that is so good I didn't expect it to be so accurate! Greetings from Germany :)

[@piontybird]

Excellent I'll give it a go

[@shafinr]

Great video mate Feel free to upload more, I'd love to watch some of more Bowie related stuff xD

[@핵타]

this is hilarious you made my day :)

[@thedaywhen2850]

That is really cool and funny. It seems to me that Royston Langdon from Spacehog uses these same ingredients.

[@elisalemart]

YOU'RE SO GOOD

[@AshweyyBear]

Oh my gosh, that was really cool! :3 ~ We want more! ~

[@beccalauretti2565]

YOU'RE SO GOOD HAHAHAHA THIS IS AWESOME

[@jools5984]

You taught me how to do Norman wisdom! Thank you!

[@analcunty6549]

C'est génial ! Mais tellement dur à reproduire !! Thanks for the vidoe

[@BlueGuise9]

That vibrato's amazing! How do you do it like that?

[@davidconnelly]

You just intermittently interrupt the air flow using your throat and/or lips. This is something that you can control. Watch the Whitney Houston video "I will always you" and you see a close up of her using her lips to brute force vibrato. You can start slowly and exaggerated then gradually smooth it out and pick up the pace.

[@freddycorcoranmb4419]

Loved the sly Stallone part

[@davidconnelly]

Hahaha! Well, I love Stallone. Seriously. I've heard his story and his is such a positive and inspirational guy. He also happens to be very high IQ. I love him. Same with Bowie. Even though we're having a few laughs here, I really do respect those people and I'm grateful that I had a chance to walk the Earth at the same time as them.

[@alaididnalid7660]

Vibrato and Coconuts and HAaaA, check

[@maxjetpack4824]

Bravo mate!

[@flamzimmermann9132]

Don't give false hope. No One, and I Do mean NO One could ever sing like Bowie.

[@progqueen5952]

This is great!

[@DeboraFor74]

Omg! I loved it! 💕

[@davidconnelly]

Thank you.

[@NSHM122]

I didn't hear any throat thingie the third time you sang. Happy Birthday is the wrong song to sing with throat thingie. Is their an actual name for that in singing theory? Bowie's the master of it.

[@CizerKedi]

You should go 1 octave higher if you want early 70’s Bowie :3

[@RevolverSnake007]

Thanks to this video I'm able to impress my friends B-)

[@davidconnelly]

Glad to be of service.

[@sowowie]

sing bowies song! ;)

[@davidconnelly]

I wouldn't know which one to do. :)

[@danielagutierrez893]

David Connelly Lady Stardust is an awesome option.

[@lottielottie6659]

0:00 you knew it

[@olgagutierrez4312]

You are very fanny and you are also good imitaiting Bowie singing... Congratulations !

[@davidconnelly]

Where I come from that wouldn't be considered to be a compliment. But I appreciate your positive vibes. Thank you!

[@olgagutierrez4312]

Ohhh... You're right! I didn't write one word in the correct way and now I've seen its meaning. I wanted to say "funny". I didn't mean to offend you, on the contrary, because I enjoyed your video. I feel the mistake and I apologize for that. Regards.

[@davidconnelly]

Hahaha. You're alright. Take it easy.

[@FernandoGastelo]

360p we meet again. But seriously this was great

[@nicozarris6073]

why is your profile picture here on youtube looks older than your videos? haha nice singing by the way :) please make tutorial on SEO :)

[@Maycee_Mayyy]

I just tried the croaky singing for “Queen Bitch” from the Hunky Dory album and it sounded like him sm 😊😊😊 I miss him 😭

[@Greenballoffire]

I was just listening To "Queen Bitch"! Underrated track imo

[@stewiewonder2601]

So among all the so-called professional videos, there is the one most crappy regarding the video quality, but explaining it all in the best way :) thx!

[@reallist8050]

ha, closed my eyes at the end and ya...was bowie

[@Denis_Santos909]

You could be the new David Bowie.

[@davidconnelly]

Yes! I agree. Can I have some money, now?

[@garuda6083]

No way!!!!

[@poemeetsludwig2410]

Can you teach something related to Andrew Eldritch voice?

[@davidconnelly]

Oh wow, I love the Sisters of Mercy. I think Andrew Eldridge sings like a cross between "Golden Years" voice and "Scary Monsters" voice. So, it's basically lots of croak and singing from the very front of your mouth.

[@239tjb]

Bravo Sir!

[@henchie4314]

Mate this is great

[@andiarief6828]

I LOL-ed in a positive way. Thanks.

GUT GEMACHT. Wirklich lustig.

[@xxcelr8rs]

Kathrin Hepburn/Anthony Newly. No one can sing Life On Mars any where close.

[@davidconnelly]

I agree. I wouldn't even attempt it. The last two thirds of 'heroes' is another one that would be a non-starter.

[@caitlinhodder7367]

HAHAHAHA this is so cool

its not Bowie its Bowie
