Did Avril Lavigne's Voice CHANGE? Voice Teacher Reacts to Old Avril vs. New Avril

[@voicehacks]

[@Halocene]

A point that should be made; she uses the brighter tone on ALL albums. Easy explanation: she was a teenager pushing against the label wanting to make her a pop star. She was touring with lots of boys and punk artists at that time, and was trying to fit in. She settled back into her natural voice around 2005-2006. I also have videos from her in 2001 before her first album. She uses the brighter tone. It was just teenage angst!

Isn’t it also her speaking voice that’s different and more squeaky and not just her singing voice. Add it all together with the signature change, nose job, sudden embrace of pop music and dresses and what you have is either a manufactured artist or a replacement. I’m not sure its a different person but rather a remoulded artist. Avril originally appeared to be a legit artist but perhaps she was always a product. The update to that product caught her original fan base out and they have been trying to explain away why the version they loved is now gone.

[@saludosalsol]

Completely agree with you. I don’t have the same qualifications as you but I am extremely good at identifying facial features since I am an artist. I never forget a face even after many years. I also can read auras, and energy. When I was growing up I never knew the 2003 Avril, since I started listening to her around 2005/6 when the Hot album came out. As an adult seeing picture and interviews of young Avril pre 2004 I was shocked. It’s not the same person I grew up thinking was Avril. I was just 100% sure as soon as I listened to her. Her smile, her lips her face, the way she spoke and expressed herself, not even just her Canadian accent, like you said her energy aura and soul and everything is different. Unless they somehow replaced her brain with someone else’s it’s not the same person.

[@Zi4_Tin4]

I think a lot of people think about this theory because her voice has changed, not only when she sings but also when she talks. before 2004 she had a fairly low voice and then she became loud. In interviews she says things and from 2004 onwards she says the exact opposite by talking about her personality. Sometimes she seems to have doubts about things in her life before 2004 and it takes her a while to respond by looking around for suggestions. Now I don't say I believe 100% but doubts arise because of these things. Because a person who wrote and sang a song with a certain tone, even if she learned to use a different pitch, would still sing it as it was originally in my opinion, she wouldn't change the musicality of the song just because she learned a new way of using her voice. There are a lot of things and details that make you think, but unfortunately there's no way to know the truth either...

[@secretahsieg]

According to the theory she died in 2003. Now ask yourself why would they go out of their way to replace a singer that only went out the year before? Considering she only had a limited mainstream successful career.

She has a high pitched voice and earlier in her career she did punk and grunge not as much pop so her tone needed to be darker as opposed to later in her career.

@J. O. I think she sits at that "high mezzo/not quite a true soprano" spot. But that's probably from lack of training. Katy Perry, until recently!!, does the same thing. Lower larynx position which means a lower secondo passagio. And straining to reach notes below A3. I understand she wants her tone to be rounder and darker but she really should embrace her light lyric soprano voice. I can only imagine what her vocal folds look like. But yes, I agree.

[@HwasaSupremacy]

Hiii can you react to 11 TIMES AVRIL LAVIGNE'S VOCALS HAD ME SHOOK?? Btw I don't believe I this conspiracy she and her voice just changed after a nose surgery (she couldn't breathe properly) this happened around 2003 and now after her lyme disease and taking a lot of drugs she developed allergies and her voice changed again

[@jrrcorcloudsaremine]

She never had plastic surgery or any surgery on her nose. If that was the case why does her nose look like it used to on and off? Yeah, you don’t have to believe it... she uses a double, especially when she’s not feeling well.

[@kopnobliuebird]

check out SLOAN's analysis and about 28:00, he did side to side comparison on Complicated and you will see how her voice was looser but muddy in early days, but then grown tighter and clearer recently. which is a reverse engineering in nature that's highly unlikely to happen unless it's simply a different person. I'm gonna vote for it being a double and let Avril stay in my memories

[@LizEllynMoore]

I'd be fascinated if you did something similar with Amy Lee! Her voice definitely has changed since 2003 (I suppose due to vocal lessons too) however, she differs because I think she sounds deeper now. Would be interested to hear your opinion!

[@fishfur9530]

i used to be a huge fan of Evanescence and i agree. amy's voice shares some similar qualities now but when she was younger it was higher, sweeter, and vibrant. now it's deeper and thicker. i think part of it is age but also a different technique. in concert she switches to head voice where she used to belt (Call Me When You're Sober high note, Your Star, and Lacrymosa). i like both tones but i find myself preferring her old one more

[@HeyItsZee_]

Amy Lee has the voice of the angel

[@faintwhisperproductions5694]

I don't think Amy sounds deeper now. Her voice is insanely beautiful in Synthesis.

My nose changed a lot from 18 to 22 and that is after the typical puberty age range, so I can say your features still develop a lot from your teens to adulthood

[@purpledawn2727]

The nose and ears grows for the whole duration of a humans life (which explains why so many old peopla have big ears and noses), so most people will get a taller more defined nose just by aging.

My voice got deeper as I grew older. Should have known, I got fking replaced.

[@Monicalia]

I'm a singer myself and I should be considered the imposter too, because I don't sound anything like I did when I was 15 (I'm 27 right now). I used to be a very low alto, and now I became mezzosoprano due to being in the choir and having vocal training in college. But i guess it's just easier to say you died and been replaced. Honestly, ae people really this gullible? do your 25-30 year old self look and sound exactly the same like your 15-16 year old self? I highly doubt. thank you for the video!

[@U2fan24]

If she had been replaced the vocal coaching could have gone either way. So... you'd think her imposter would have been trained to sound closer/identical to 2003 Avril. Also... keeping up with whoever's trending would influence your sound. Another hugely successful Canadian songwriter (whom would have been a big influence on Avril) is Alanis Morissette. Her look and genre changed drastically as well after "Jagged Little Pill." Now, in 2003 Alanis wasn't exactly trending. But what was..? SEXY that's what. Britney, Shakira etc... but more importantly pop music. But keeping up with the Jones's and perfecting your craft takes time. Avril is smart, and a brilliant song writer (which makes me proud to be Canadian) and the 2003 Avril was no exception to having sex appeal, she could pull it off if she wanted to make that transition. Obviously this would have been a big move for her to transition from punk to pop - with losing fans being a very likely scenario, so she had a tough decision to make but ultimately decided to "Let Go". Punk music has punk followers and what do punks do...? They rebel. The realization that Avril is a follower and not a trend setter leads her fans to get upset, start rumors which leads to conspiracy theories. But you do what you gotta do to keep up and stay current. This whole conspiracy thing is keeping her current as well. It's very creepy and ridiculous, but it's not exactly negative... it's mysterious and intriguing. If everyone just accepted Elvis's death then would he be trending with a hit movie in 2022? All the great ones have conspiracy theories. Again, I think Avril is smart and realizes this, hence why she just laughs it off and doesn't comment much either way. Personally though I don't think her music has changed much. Style (yes) music (no). Those who like Avril's music should be the true fans and come to the realization that it's still her, working hard, contributing, and making beautiful history for our ears and souls.

[@mysteriousfun4759]

The real Avril is still around and makes appearances here and there. But theres definitely someone in those interviews and live singing when you hear that certain lyrics are pronounced differently every single time when certain persona is applied. You cannot explain that cmon

[@aflix0007]

[@GaryRManganiello]

I agree!

[@fatimasarah.5374]

her newer stuff is too underrated

[@Blackarachnia1996]

Awesome analysis, I think you nailed it! I always thought Avril was deepening her voice to sound more rock for her first two albums, but once Girlfriend came along she definitely flipped the other way and may have even intentionally gone nasally to sound more bratty. I think now with Head Above Water we are hearing her true voice.

[@TheNin-Jedi]

Corey Taylor from Skipknot voice changed dramatically over the years but no one thinks he's a clone. Why? Because he's still rocking. People are just mad that Avril grew with the curve she was given. Especially after everyone kept saying she wasn't punk to begin with. Make up your minds.

[@MandyKnox]

I still find it very difficult to accept that my voice is not as powerful as I would like it to be. I have sung for about 8 years and I still get angry because my voice goes naturally from belting to mixed. :( I just found your channel and I love your videos! I'm going to check all the screaming and belting ones, thank you very much for sharing them

[@lormill4851]

I sometimes go mindlessly to mixed voice too. Check her vocal compression exercise on her warmups playlist, it's really good and it helps.

[@MandyKnox]

@@lormill4851 thanks I will! I'm a soprano, do you know how high my belting should go? I feel it isn't too high (that's why I kinda dislike my mixed voice).

[@lormill4851]

She has a video on voice types and ranges, too. I have some idea of overall range, but not belting in particular, so. When you can watch a professional, I think that'd be better. But I know there's a n app called vocal pitch monitor, which is actually really helpful to determine all your ranges.

[@jakealcomendas9937]

Auphorium I think it's kinda good that you have able to develop your mixed voice because that means that you don't trouble in transitioning between your connected registers, also mixing your voice will help you hit high notes effortlessly rather than depending and pushing your chest voice/belt higher..

[@justforjacob]

the audio settings and frequencies have nothing to do with the tone of her voice. it seems like you just made the video to re-confirm what you already believe instead of actually investigate the possibility of two different voices.

[@TheDragonsLotus]

Certain medications can influence the voice too. I have Hypothyroidism and when I started to take medication for it, it felt like I went through a second puberty and my voice changed slightly because my medication is hormone base.

[@AlessandraLampertico]

I am a fan of Avril since 2002. I have been singing her songs since then. If you listen to a recording of mine back in 2007 and then a recording of the same song now I have two different voices 😅 I am not an expert but I think this might be because I got older and in the meanwhile I also took singing lessons for a few years and I can really feel my voice changed.

She sings it completely diff tho...its like a diff song, point of the song is the sound being darker not all poppy...so she should try and keep same vibe...i get she is older and stuff but she deff got bright and glowy compared to emo n stuff from b4...maybe she did change we all do but she will obv have a new fan base since her sound has changed.

[@corochka003]

that’s why people want to believe more that it’s not her, because it was those unique low frequencies that won their hearts, what made her stand out + her cheerful character, confidence mixed with shyness, body light as a feather, jokes with jumping on others' backs, when she sincerely laughed at how Evan climbed onto a mount on stage during a performance and much more, which is why any video with her was cooler than the TV series Absolutely not what we can observe after those years oh and it’s also worth mentioning her amazing band, which also influenced her

[@quonmaurice596]

Wow !!! Great topic...I was just telling my friend about my voice when I was younger ! When I started singing from age 12-15 my voice was heavy and dark and much more of a Baritone. Now that I'm 26 my voice is a lot lighter than heavy. I can even hit higher notes and hold them. I know in male singers it can be the total opposite where as a younger man may have a higher voice. Then when he get's older the voice becomes deeper, and heavier but my voice is the total opposite. Sometimes I miss that heaviness sound because there was a lot of power there lol. I still have the power but that sound was bad ass for a 15 year old. I love Avril btw !!!!

[@TopLetsPlays]

Just to be clear, Avril Lavigne did die. She was part of a composing band called the Matrix who wrote legendary hits such as I'm With You. When they left, Avril left. Because this group _was Avril Lavigne._ That girl we knew and thought was Avril, was always someone else, the blonde punky prinxess from the new videos. No music can compare to the original band, style and vision.

[@mrtin5523]

The wrong technique sounds so much full tho I can't help but like it more. It may be the slight distortion coming from the pressed larynx that makes it so pleasing to my rock ears. I never believed when I saw that Avril is a higher mezzo and thought that she is an alto because of her low register and now I have learned that it's wrong :c Makes me wanna cry a bit but I'm glad at the same time that I'm still hearing Avril on the newer records
