Not gonna lie I needed to hear this. As I heard a wise and widely respected producer once say... A guitarist wants the guitars turned UP in a mix. The bass player wants the bass turned UP in a mix. Same with the drummer, the keyboard guy and so on. But a vocalists... they always want their voice level turned DOWN in the mix. Singing is one of the most vulnerable methods of artistic expression EVER. Saying it takes courage to sing and convey emotion is spot on. And this video helped inspire me to seek freedom and expression instead of pitch-perfection. Thanks Chris. I seriously did need to hear this.

Finally someone with the best advice I have ever heard. It's no wonder why we sing at our best in the shower or the car. We are singing emotionally and for the enjoyment of the words and message. We aren't worried about being criitized or judged. We are willing to experiment with the sounds our voices make. We are almost like a baby making sounds and finding it fascinating how it sounds. You have also made me realise that sometimes when my throat gets sore, I have always put it down to bad technique. But, now I know sometimes it actually is listening to the words and getting emotionally involved in the story of the writer. Hence, I'm on the verge of crying with not only sadness but also happiness.

Point 2 really spoke to me about something I'm working on now. I'm a California girl in South Africa. I recently began working with a promoter who asked if I could do a mashup of California Dreamin' and Africa I've figured out a good melding, musically, but singing the chorus of Africa is really pushing it, and I've been getting discouraged, and wondering if I should change the vocal tune to fit my voice, while keeping it in the same key. You confirmed my suspicions. Now I'm looking forward to practicing it, whereas before I was dreading it.

Very interesting! My vocal teacher always pointed out that my voice jumps around the entire octave when i speak because im very expressive, but when I sing im a flat board. I cant sing in a chest high note but when i speak I hit it naturally in my excitement just talking. She always says its a mental thing but now i see what she means

Not focusing on the note/pitch is spot on! I had to delete my tuner app on my phone. I found that, instead of just singing a song i liked, I’d use it to map out all the “high” notes and parts that I thought would be hard. Every time I’d get myself psyched out and tense up trying to hit them. This video is one of your best!

I probably listened to this before but it finally sunk in. The goal of singing is not practice; the goal of singing is singing. Or as Chris puts it: the goal of singing is to have a musical conversation. Good songs have something to say. Focus on what is being said, but especially the emotional tone of what is being said. I struggled for so long on trying to sing Bob Dylan's song Blowing in the Wind that once I was able to sing it reasonably on pitch, I lost the enjoyment of singing the song because it had become stale. Now I sing it as a plaintive question to the Universe on why there is so much injustice and ignorance in the world that I am able to not only match pitch (well enough.) More importantly, I am able to match the emotionality the Bob Dylan himself expresses in the song. Chris Liepe is probably the most uncelebrated of all the voice instructors out there (I have enrolled in more courses than you can shake a stick at.) As a result, I feel qualified to express this opinion. I echo (and paraphrase) his overall message: Sing in order to have a musical conversation. Express the emotionality of what the song is saying, and the pitch will fix itself. Sing for the pleasure of singing. Sing for joy.

This is really encouraging...I've just been diagnosed with ADHD at 31 and I've struggled immensely with implenting structure my entire life. Even the smallest of habits and commitments trigger huge overwhelm. BUT there are some days when I practice singing for 2 hours, not because I've told myself I have to though - my curiosity has naturally led me from one breadcrumb to another and I've not been able to leave a song alone because I've *wanted* to try singing it 20 different ways. Stoking my interest first by playing, mimicking and following my genuine curiosity on the day naturally unfolds into practice, as opposed to my approach all these years, which has been to force myself to start with uninteresting, regimented, overwhelming vocal exercises. Technique naturally gets woven in along the way, but being playful is by far an easier and more enjoyable way into practice for me, and this feels very aligned with what you're talking about here.

Like many perhaps, I’m always my worsts critic but at the same I’m realistic. Personally, I considerable myself as a bad singer and for years I’ve tried improving but simply can’t. However, I’m stubborn and don’t care what others think of my singing, I simply do it bc it makes me happy so at least I got that going for. After watching this video, I just want to say thank you Chris, you opened my eyes into a new perspective on how I can improve with my singing journey, keep on rockin 🎸

3:27 As a composer, I totally agree with this. Melodies usually have this intrinsec emotional escence on them, from the emotional context from they where born. I believe it's our mission as singers to look for a way to interpet that emotion first, evoking and visualizing our own "emotional catalizer" to unleash the nature of that melody, and let the pitch flow naturally trough the intrinsec emotional escence of the melody. Thanks for this amazing video Chris, as always very inspirational, best wishes from Chile!

I can't hide my feelings in my voice, when I try it it just sounds awful. So if I'm not in the mood for a certain topic, then I can't sing about it. Or if something comes very close to me, then you can hear the notes slipping away in the song too! 😅 Nevertheless, I am very passionate about this hobby, but it would certainly stand in the way of a singing career! Therefore, I have great respect for the professionals and their flawless talent! Thanks for this insightful video! Lovely greetings!✌️

Pitch is still the most important though. We have decades of recordings of good singers singing on pitch! You might not think so because you take it for granted, or can't hear it. If you listen to Mick Jagger, he's on pitch at the very least on the end of each phrase, as a resolution. At the onset he'll be bending or sliding, maybe in the middle, but he always ends on pitch. When I sing, I slide and bend too, but always resolve on pitch. If I notice myself being off pitch while practicing, I hold the note until I get it right. It's not uncreative or restricting to sing on pitch, it's a baseline. And it feels so good to get it right, especially when you're playing an acoustic guitar, and your voice and the strings resonate together.

Due to Covidus-interuptus, had to stop voice lessons I'd just started. Without external feedback, figured it was no use working on how it sounded, so I've worked only on how singing feels. As in; 'Is this easy and comfortable to do?' and 'Do I/can I like or care about this song?". So. Much. Better. Can't imagine any other approach. Fits your 3 C's perfectly. Thank you so much for the video.

I have been worrying about pitch less and less when performing and recording, because I was so insecure that i would be off key or mess up. I let it go and accepted that as long as I am in the general range and deliver it from my soul, it will be good. And it has been! Dance the night away by van halen apparently dave is off by 30 cents in pitch almost the whole song? Lol. Would never have guessed! Outshined by our beloved soundgarden; I notice some parts where chris is isn't really "off", but it's a different pitch than what would normally be expected.

Along these lines, bit tangential - AIC’s known for their harmonies right and really spine tingly rich vocal ocean of sound. Was illuminating for me when I heard some acapellas especially, the vocals are NOT pitch NAILED, DEF not pitch corrected or auto tuned. Typically Layne was the bright knife edge, creative and emotional and full of IMPERFECT character. Part of why i think we feel vulnerability from his singing. Then Jerry was a warmer chestier bottom, usually more steady pitch, but no judgement, less emotional unique quirky-burst of expression. ALL TOGETHER THO? The combination is hugely warm and phasy-wonderful in a brilliant “film vs digital” way (anecdotally and metaphorically). I’ve recreated similar effects as an imperfect beginner voice haha, and I just kept over dubbing till it became STRANGE and INTERESTING rather than ironing out all imperfections. I THEN tried pitch correcting all the errors. And honestly. Sounded like shit. For other reasons than that, hahaha. But primarily, it removed the warm union of imperfection into a chorus of exponential uninqueness. The “fixed” version was flat, boring, 2 dimensional, forgettable.

But if you actively think about doing all that , you'd get hit. Cheers man for putting this out !! I'd admit i used to sing better before i was brainwashed by these vocal coaches...but with a goal to sing C5s ,i practiced what they said.& after 2yrs of practicing ,i became a person who'd constantly & consciously think about pitch, tone, tempo , resonance,vibrato & all that while singing!! They made me tone deaf .Bruce lee would kick me in the nuts. Only a Month ago i started to sing my heart out & now it sounds perfect to me. High notes no problem. Distortion no problem.

@@chrisliepe It helps because it's something important to remember! I've been singing all my life, but alone and experimenting, and I've only started taking singing lessons, and the pressure to be technically ideal makes things stiff and easily create distance from this original place of creation and expression, that's much more global. I noticed this so strongly from more academically trained singers too, and it saddens me. It seems like the greatest beauty is in this experimental dialogue between what's within you and the music, and one can also learn to be their own judge and guide and uncover lots of possibilities from curiosity and attention alone 💚

Ahh pitch, consider that both Ronnio Dio and Floor often go purposely of pitch to express something. Now they have the chops to be on pitch 100% of the time, but they choose to go above or below pitch in order to express themselves ... And boy, it sure work (they are both beyond incredible) Satch said something along the lines of worrying about doing too many exercises. He said that when composing he could default to making compositions that sound like guitar excercises, so he has to strike a balance. Take risks... Blackmore has often complained about virtuosos that all notes sound perfect, which means they are not taking risks and hence they are not pushing themselves to explore. Awesome stuff, Chris Liepe nails it again. This is what popped into my head as I saw the vid, hopefully it'll be useful to others :)

I found that for singing, just like when I learned guitar, I prefer to experiment in a controlled manner/environment, let's define it that way.

Im not a singer, I love music. Good singers (set aside for great vocal range, technique, and whatnot) have one or two things in common: 1) Whenever you listen to them on the radio for example, you instantly recognize their voice. Is unique. It might be the smallest thing they do with their voice but they have a "signature" 2) They are able to convey real emotion and not because they hit high notes. Like Celine Dion in a few songs deliver very high notes but as you said, that's not her goal. Her goal is to convey the meaning of the song, the emotion behind what she is singing. Another great singer for me is Sia, totally underrated but oh my, can she deliver!! Good video, in substance we are actually saying something very similar in the end. Less obsession with technique and more with delivering a performance that can touch the listeners. When I happen to listen to tv shows with wannabe singers, there are many with amazing voices, they can even surpass the notes of the original song. And yet, many of them don't give me the emotion. It's a perfectly executed song with no soul in it. Rarely I saw someone who truly made me cry or made me emotional.

I've never had a vocal coach. I have played guitar for 10 years. I found in singing in my truck, that I was able to stretch my range over the course of a couple years by trying to stay in key, not pitch. If you're in the right scale, it doesn't entirely matter how far off your pitch is. Similar to playing chords on a guitar: if a chord shape is correct, it is correct all the way up the neck, even if one of the notes in the chord is technically out of key at one point. So if you can sing in with a song and your phrasing and inflection is in harmony, then it's okay if you're not perfectly an octave up or down. That's just how I looked at it, and I've found my way to being a capable singer.

Hey Chris - what amazing, wonderful and needed advice. This answers many of my underlying questions about singing better, meaning; singing in a way that engages people. There are amazingly talented singers out there who sing perfectly on pitch with huge resonance. And we forget who they are because they haven't done anything memorable to remember them by. I will, however, suggest that for those who don't have a natural ear for pitch or other musical training, the singing scales - at least for a while - may be a good thing so they become familiar with the sound of a properly done scale; just as musicians should know at least a few scales to be able to play over chords - even if they just know a pentatonic scale.

It’s funny because for years everyone would ask me how I became such a good singer and who I got voice lessons from but never had one lesson. I wasn’t singing for a few years then started singing in different projects & decided to get into lessons and techniques and it took me backwards not forward. I’m still not back to where I was and am still trying to unlearn the bad habits so called experts gave me. When I just sang through my emotion and creativity I was always on. I think the key is to not over think things. But from the vids I’ve watched of yours I think I’d actually benefit from what you teach. Thanks!

For the past 2 months I've found myself naturally grinding a lot of Soundgarden (for the first time), Jeff Buckley and Matt Corby with no investment in imitation or success and just releasing my voice - not realizing I was on a mission to internalize the 3 Cs... and here you are :D
