Belting, Curbing & Overdrive - Vocal MasterClass #4

[@FloorJansenOfficial]

For the next video I will need your input! Comment what you would like me to cover next and/or questions you think need to be answered!

[@armina90]

I'm often being told by my husband (who has perfect pitch) that i'm always a little off on the low side. Any tips?

[@babsderooij3528]

Walking in the air as a suggestion?

[@edsomleontorres348]

A new version of " Energize me " , please :D. And my question is why are you so adorable? ;)

[@aimeek9384]

Thank you Floor! I would love to hear and see a cover of Uninvited by Alanis Morissette!

[@alleninfinity6730]

I would love to see you cover something from Pat Benatar, yeah I am old, but she had a world-class voice and classical training. Maybe "Promises in the Dark" or "Hell is for Children"

[@Mackieee]

we're all waiting for the distortion masterclass hehe :P

[@AxonRiseMusic]

Glad I’m not the only one thinking this!

[@BedroomGuitarHero]

YesYes

[@estrellaparra9581]

Yesss, I was thinking the same. Please Floor, show us your growling tecnique

[@ToTheWolves]

Yes!!!

[@nightwish]

Hi, I am a huge fan of Nightwish!

[@lnleywolfie7326]

And first- but it dosen't matter.

[@R---66---R]

[@petebateman143]

The next concert is going to have the best sounding crowd ever!!

[@ToTheWolves]

Hahaha!!!!

[@shanethomas6230]

I might still sound like a dying animal, but it’s getting better! 😤

[@ArumesYT]

It just takes some practice. I already improved from a dying animal to dropping a hammer on my toes. You'll get there too, don't worry.

[@jettjojohnson3197]

I'm Semi, in the past Sami where put to death for singing somi songs.

[@demowons]

Perfect timing! I'm home alone and no one can complain if I sound horrible xD

[@FloorJansenOfficial]

Even if you sound horrible, practice and I am sure you can sound good!

[@demowons]

@@FloorJansenOfficial I'm not that good yet, but I'm getting there!! These have been very helpful 💕

[@CarlosGrande06]

thats good take advantage of your home alone time lol

[@demowons]

@@CarlosGrande06 I will!

[@davidschull872]

Floor is hands down the best Vocalist in the world...

[@Bldyiii]

Horns up 🤘

[@justinsmyth3211]

Absolutely!

[@davidschull872]

@MeloStorM It's a metaphor.. Have some fun!

[@VocalSplendorStudios]

Woo hoo! I saw Cathrine Sadolin speak in Vancouver, Canada, in 2005 at the International Conference of Voice Teachers. I loved her lecture and I've been using her Complete Vocal Technique Book ever since!

[@ellikirjonen222]

Even though i can't sing at all, these are always very interesting to watch. Thank you Floor!🙏❤

[@vocal_lilly9799]

Singing is my greatest passion and I wanna be a singer one day. Floor, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and insights with us! It is really helpful for me.

[@FloorJansenOfficial]

You're so welcome!

[@vocal_lilly9799]

@@FloorJansenOfficial thanks for taking the time to reply! Also, I have one question: in your fan Friday episodes you answer our questions but you never read them out loud. I guess you just show them on the screen, but I am 100% blind since my birth so it is hard to understand what your answer is referring to, especially if you just answer with yes or no. Could you read out the questions or list them in the video description in your next episode? That would be awesome, thank you!

[@vocal_lilly9799]

Oh my gosh thanks for taking the time to write that! It really helped me a lot.

[@ryanf4497]

Can you talk about your growling technique? I'm really interested to know how you growl.

[@nroke1684]

That is a difficult technique, there are probably going to be *way* more classes before that.

[@TheOvermaster]

Her particular growl is a false chord growl, if you wanted to look up how to do that.

[@x3BobO]

What @overmaster and @nroke1 said. I recommend watching false chord steps by Aliki Katriou, but you need some basic understanding of singing.

[@noeliavelvet6057]

I can't believe my favourite singer of all times is teaching me how to sing! This is a dream for a singer like me.

[@vivk1593]

There is no hope for my singing, but I really enjoy to hear how it should be done 😁

[@dimosthenistsa]

Floor i wish you cover the "Child in time" by Deep Purple. Only you could upgrade Ian Gillan's vocals

[@R---66---R]

Precious find...a real good one for our Floor.

[@lighiasouza7610]

Oh my God! It would be the best thing ever!!!

[@ZieHetZo_nl]

That would be awesome!!

[@x3BobO]

THIS.

[@k1tajfar714]

You don't need air; whilst she is using the highest note i cannot even shout and during that i almost breathed like 4 times!!! You're a TRUE ANGEL! PROFESSIONAL.

[@saraportland4358]

Floor, you know what I WOULD LOVE to see? You singing capela. No instruments, just your PERFECT voice, just that! For me you are the best in this universe, even I never heard aliens singing. I'm sure you are better than them!

[@metalbabesami]

Stuck in quarantine currently and I just want to thank you Floor for your videos. It’s nice to have an escape 🖤 Although there’s no hope for my voice, it’s amazing that you share your gift with all of us.

[@mithlenfinlass2040]

I would LOVE to hear "Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights" from you. I love her voice since I was a kid and I can totally imagine you singing this or one of her great songs!

[@Arianwubbe]

Great idea!

[@williamHernandez-ge3sp]

Excellent singer!! Excellent performer!!! And wooow!! Excellent teacher!!!

[@Briikaaz]

Ahh, Floor, you remind me of my high school choir instructor (may she rest in peace). A wonderful woman who explained singing techniques in a way that was easy to understand and perform. ❤️

[@Rosannasfriend]

Great class, thanks!

[@adikaiologitos]

Amazing 🤩🤩🤩

[@Rosannasfriend]

I have missed these.

[@heavy77x]

[@RonniePeterson]

Such a treat and so informative for people who know so little like myself. Thank you.

[@AnthroFiend]

I've already been taking vocal classes for a couple years now, but these videos are still REALLY helping get a better grasp on what I'm doing. Thank you Floor!

[@6loriaPatricia]

Its amazing the way you sing. Thanks Floor for share with us your knowledge.

[@jemrockton]

Nearly started crying at those Ave Maria examples. Incredibly beautiful! Besides that, I want to find me a band to sing in; I alreadyhave vocal lessons but theses master classes are incredibly helpful too. Plus, I watch videos from channels which provide either music theory or singing practice or both. Love singing so much!

[@nastrynful]

Thanks for sharing this with us. Wish You success!

[@explorethewind7513]

I can't say thank you enough for these vocal lessons I sound so much better and more confident while singing, you made singing fun again, thank you! ❤️

I´m no singer, but I so appreciate your efforts and love for all the aspiring singers. that´s awesome. a great weekend for you and yours.

[@IEnattI]

Thank you! This was a great explanation! I appreciated direct comparisons and examples!

[@fenderchick1977]

I need to hear #5 from one of the greatest singers in history. ❤️ I am an experienced singer, perform regularly, but still have so much to learn so to hear tips from an angel is absolutely priceless. Thank you!!

[@puretyful6950]

Thank you Floor 🥰

Yay another Masterclass! Thankyou for doing these!!! ...and i’m Aqua now Ooooh!

[@RenatoMechanic]

in my opinion you are the best in both music and beauty

[@LeFlohic]

I dont want to learn how to sing or even care about vocal techniques, but I cant get enough of Floor and her voice!!! ALL HAIL THE TRUE METAL QUEEN!!

[@whiteeulogianraven7995]

I barely sing Happy B-Day, my neighbours don't like me because my musical preferences, HELL YEAH!! Now I am pretty sure they are gonna hate me a little bit more!! It worths every single second!!!

[@Rosannasfriend]

I just re-watched this after doing more studying, and almost a year later I fully understand everything you’re teaching here.

[@Greta3362]

Thank you for this lesson! ❤️ I’d love to hear your take on distorted vocals.

[@jonquerequincia8674]

Floor you have the best mixed voice!!

[@ezequielbarrera7383]

Que gran cantante! Floor Jansen que talento tan placentero! Existos!

[@g.e.o.s.h]

That is sooo amazing! Ive been studying (and loving) CVT since 2004 and is amazing how beautiful the vocal modes sound on her voice. truly astonishing!

[@FelipeSaintJeanOfficial]

Nice class!🤘🏻

[@jessyoliva3627]

Thank you so much Floor

[@agathe7058]

Thank you Floor! Understanding how the different techniques are done is a lot better than just trying to replicate something without any warning of what could be a danger to the vocal cords. For my brain that loves knowing how everything works instead of just “feeling it” I really found this useful. I’ve been doing a lot of things wrong but now I’ll try to apply your tips 😉

[@catrina3151]

I am a somewhat classical trained (have had a handful of lessons)/self-taught singer. I have always struggled with utilizing a pop tone but through your masterclasses, I have found that my range has opened up even more. Thank you!

[@annmariem9456]

I loved this lesson!! I have to say I am a GREAT singer in the car with the windows rolled up and the music LOUD..LOL...I so wish my dad would have gave me lessons when I was younger, oh well, I can live vicarious through you!!! You are not only THE best singer today but a beautiful person as well! Much love to you and your beautiful family:)

[@georgiosrinakakis934]

I have no idea about singing, my voice is terrible and I have no intention to sing ever. Still, I am here!

[@johnfredrikseyffarth9086]

Cool. Not a singer, but learning the tecniques are interesting. Good to know the basics and the hard work that lies behind a good voice. 😊🤘🏼

[@la5902]

This is so wholesome...I am a self taught singer and people always ask how is that possible ...when I was 15 yrs old, I saw a KZbin video of After forever performing live and I fell in love with your tone ...ever since that day I would watch every single singing video you were in and just emulated whatever you did ...you’re such a great vocalist that just imitating you made me a better singer

[@stevewilson8752]

Wow ! Brilliant ☺️👍 There is so much to being a great singer & doing it in a safe way so you don't hurt yourself your vocal cords / throat ! Now i get what makes you so great Floor ! Knowledge is key when it comes to becoming a great vocalist like yourself ! I'm always amazed by you Floor 😝👍 I've just learnt so much & i truely believe You are 1 of the singers/ teacher of our time ! Massive fan from Queensland Australia 🇦🇺🏄‍♂️🍹

[@fernandodelmondesvelozo1939]

You are awesome!!!!

[@monroreaz2026]

thank you

[@Pup_Bobby]

Hi Floor i really hope you see that, I got little story that i wanted to share with u. Today was my birthday and I showed my mum your version of Phantom of the opera with Hank, and she was so moved by your voice that she cried. I thought i did something wrong but she was in tears of joy. You and Hank touched her in a special way and i am very thankfull for both of you, thanks to you I had such a special moment with my mum and i never forget that day. i wanted to share that with u because i am so gratefull loves and hugs (and some barks)

[@kirbyhans5261]

It's so awesome that you can impart so much information to us.... and yet still make us laugh.

[@greeneyedwitch1103]

CVT rocks! Had some workshops and it helped me a lot!

[@karenvandepol9957]

Onmogelijk de beste zangeres van de wereld te kunnen evenaren. Ik zal nooit een nachtegaal zijn/worden maar ontzettend gaaf dat je dit zo met ons wil delen🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@sebastian7209]

Another excellent class, you explain very well, I tell you I dedicate myself to auto mechanics I do not sing but I watch your videos and I follow you on the networks, it is good that you help people who want to improve or start singing thank you good weekend 👍🎤💐🇦🇷

[@edwindundas863]

You’re my favorite singer.Never tire of watching the Wacken OpenAir 2013.Perfect performance.Would love to hear your Ave Maria rendition with subdued instrumentation.The singing should dominate totally in that piece,in my humble opinion.The Metal rendition of O holy night in Finnish was absolutely fantastic.Only your beautiful pure voice for Ave Maria,please😎Best wishes from Florida.

[@dracso6058]

EINDELIJK een echte vocal coach/teacher video !!!! lol

[@robdegast3612]

OMG, I can't sing for an inch, but I love following your masterclasses, just for the fun of learning something about singing! ❤️

[@jeanellelange7125]

I love learning these techniques because I love singing so I know what my plans are for tonight. Driving my family and neighbors nuts with practicing. Hopefully I don't hurt someone's ears with my bad singing.😁❤️ Thanks Floor

[@DanyelGomess]

My suggestion, I imagine it's not your area of expertise, but could you teach us a little about distortion? How to put that raspiness in the voice without messing up your vocal chords. And thank you so much for what you're doing!

[@scream9803]

Sólo paso a decirte que te amo, desde México 😍 Y mi madre me ha dicho que desde que le mostré tus canciones, tanto en Nightwish y sola, que ya siente que no hay mejor cantante que tú 😍

[@bastlerjurgen2921]

Thank You for this examples - i´m still a beginner at singing (started at the age of 45) and it´s a really hard work to learn, it´s a challenge to come out of comfort-zone, a never ending process of learning and i like it sooo much 🙂 (and forgive me for my bad english 😀)

[@scottclark3761]

Thank you. That is all. Just thank you.

[@AT87]

This is so much fun, I really miss taking singing lessons.. Btw, I love your vest!

[@horscategorie]

Constantly amazed by everything you do. Thanks for sharing again! These master classes will never make me sound better than a dying frog, but they do help one appreciate the art of singing... Until COVID is gone, this will have to do... Best wishes from the US. :)

[@nomansvan827]

I can't sing, but I sure enjoy watching your joy in your craft. Blessings

[@Moniateldus]

Thank you so much for this, Floor! You are amazinhg and an inspiration. Please take care and stay safe. Looking forward for the show in Berlin this year. Love you

[@Vimana]

What could be better than to learn making music with your own voice? It's a beautiful instrument to have. When you learn more you can then choose how to use your own voice and the selection of songs you can sing could expand a lot. You can end up learning to sing your favorite song, which you thought would be impossible. There might be a certain song with some absolutely fantastic lyrics you'd love to sing. Maybe you create those lyrics yourself... When you sing those words out loud it all becomes much more powerful. Keep watching these videos and you will get there. Take care and have a wonderful day.
