[@rynprod]

I never thought you’d analyse Conor, he’s one of the best vocalists of our generation but Nothing But Thieves are still waaayyy under appreciated! Glad to see you were blessed with his godly vocals

[@chrisliepe]

Ya they deserve more "press" for sure!!

[@Andrew3G]

Hey boss I know this comment is 2 years old, but yeah you're right he's the best. Glad I'm seeing other people who agree.

[@karenmellor6970]

So underrated ! Saw them live in October and they were phenomenal

[@shawncollins7130]

Connor Mason is a master class on how to be a rock vocalist in this modern age. That live version of If I get High makes me tear up every damn time. Absolute perfection.

[@gcsusetyo]

This lesson is so well done! Conor's voice is impeccably angelic and velvety, almost like a warm hug in audio form. There's a lot of richness there: like you said, there's a bit of Buckley, Yorke and Bono there, but he's also very much his own vocalist, thanks to his classical training and childhood diet of blues and soul. Nothing But Thieves songs are so hard to sing not because they're melodic gymnastics but technically because of Conor's flawless transitions between the registers and the subtle nuances that makes his vocals very him, such as an airy breath here, a brief belt there and those barely there melismatic runs peppered here and there. But most importantly the way Conor moves the audience emotionally with his stage presence-not only live but also as a voice in the studio-that emotional energy is simply unmatchable. Thank you for this lesson, Chris, and for doing so well in showing us mortals the ropes to Conor's divine vocals!

[@emilyherrington8017]

It makes me so happy to see others appreciating the beautiful talent Connor has, not to mention the while band of Nothing But Thieves. I've been listening for years and have always enjoyed hearing his angelic voice.

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

New singer for me. He is really singing the way the great Motown and R&B Greats did. I hear very much operatic leanings. He really holding back the breath through appoggio.

[@ictheworld8974]

Conor has quite literally the greatest voice I’ve ever heard. I can listen to him all day everyday. Cool to see the way he does it explained a bit

[@SakshamKumar]

Conor Mason is a true legend

[@karrahall9815]

You’re an amazing vocalist! The fact that you can imitate and teach how to imitate Conor’s singing style, AMAZES me!!! Spot on!!! 😍🤩

[@rectangulardots]

I‘m just massively impressed by your overall singing skills and how you even get your tone to be so similar in so many different styles!

[@chrisliepe]

So glad! Thank you!

[@cmousdale]

That's an amazing analysis, and Conor's one of the greatest vocalists I've heard. Stopped me in my tracks the first time I head his voice on the radio.

[@beanie237]

one of my favourite vocalists, saw them live in 2021 amazing :)

[@goodmaggie]

As a beginner, two things strike me. 1. I need to listen and feel what I'm hearing with a lot more discernment and perception for the subtleties and nuances. 2. I'm a very long way from this level of elegant, eloquent expression ... sigh. Beautiful work Chris.

[@JustWatch-be7ph]

One of my favorite singers!!!!!!! This is so awesome, bro! Thank you 🙏🏼

[@xjack6557]

I've never commented in any video in my life and this is the first one because it woth, I see all your videos and I really know that I will enjoy this. Conor Mason, one of my favourite singer due his beautiful voice and performance in live as studio. Thanks Chris.

[@chrisliepe]

Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@elijahlopez4487]

Ooooh, this might’ve been exactly what I needed! 😱

[@sgdomusic]

Finally! I was waiting for this 😍. Great video as always!

[@phasmopyic37]

aw man i wished you analysed the song impossible by nbt but nonetheless, perfect tutorial🤩

[@ilBaccello]

Thanks for letting us discover another great singer and his artistry :-)

[@dashobradors]

Man, loved the video as always! I’m a big fan of head voice - chest voice transitioning without knowing (didn’t have any singing knowledge before) and now, after 2 years of singing lessons your videos are golden gems to absorb styles and understand how to achieve those sounds. Keep rocking!

[@sapu13]

Thinking about yawning really did a noticeable difference! Sweetly explained!

[@jameshartley2538]

You have an unbelievable voice

[@jbear.4092]

How the fuck did I miss this, can't believe you did this!! We love you Chris

[@rawandxyz]

Very well put together! I love how Conor utilises his voice.

[@Rightchickenwing]

Awesome 😊😊😊

[@rorybninetythree]

one of my favourite singers and bands going right now! this is great! Not sure if you look to your comments sections for inspiration but I reckon you'd have an absolute blast analysing Vessel from Sleep Token like this

[@DouglasComical]

Never heard of this band but they remind me of Muse a little, mainly the singer

[@amyveid]

in 2017 nothing but thieves played in first party of muse's concert so you might be right

[@zendweller1]

I'll bet anything this man is a huge Jeff Buckley fan...I hear a lot of the Buckley style here (along with Bono and others)....but he does an amazing job!

[@chrisliepe]

It’s true! Huge Buckley fan for sure!

[@juliabeauvois8432]

he's a huge Jeff Buckley fan and loves Thom Yorke too !

[@wandajames143]

Thanks for this!

[@mrmcgreg]

I'd love to see a video about Caleb Followill from Kings of Leon. Even though he doesn't do super high notes he has a very interesting sound to him. His voice has such a cool squeaky grit to it like if he's had some cords sickness before and it's damaged now. I wonder if it's possible to imitate and learn something from him. In the song Charmer he does this cool scream I've never heard anywhere else and I wonder if it's done in a healthy way and how it works.

[@tedaldifabrice2595]

Fantastic job ! By the way, i'm discovering your videos, it's great ! Cheers from France :)

[@chrisliepe]

Glad you like them!

[@sciexp]

Thanks for sharing this. Interesting. Definitely, I prefer shorter videos, with this format.

[@FirstnameLastname-bn4gv]

A video on Jimmy Gnecco would be much appreciated!

[@chrisliepe]

I agree!

[@kanyekubrick5391]

Hold up- I’m gonna need headphones for these videos

Chris buddy I know this is out of your niche but could you make a video about tips for making podcasts , narrating and stuff like this?

[@chrisliepe]

not out of my niche at all... not sure this would be the channel for that tho :) Would be better done in a more generic 'coaching' class or something.

[@its_k0L]

It’s it just me or have you already developed a bad habit of letting go of the note after you’ve sung it in your head voice? You’re letting the pitch fall instead of cutting it off cleanly. Thanks for being a great teacher. I’m speaking mainly on “if I get high”

[@matthewneary1393]

Yes!!! Conor Mason is, without question, one of the greatest voices of this generation -- if not all-time. I love to see Nothing But Thieves getting some recognition! Thanks Chris! I never clicked on a video so fast!

[@chrisliepe]

YESSSS

[@karenreid5761]

Matthew, I'm curious where you're from? My maiden name is Neary and I'm in the most eastern part of Canada (Nfld). Not only would I be amazed and thrilled that another Neary was a fan of Conor Mason, but that it's another Newfoundlander! Could it be???

[@lilyh-p8433]

He's literally the best vocalist ever, favourite band for a long time now, love them all

[@epicanova]

I’d love to hear you cover some of his belting. His belts in Amsterdam have such a rich and velvety and screamy sound all at the same time, it’s scary.

[@Rachel-pj5pw]

*sees title and laughs because it's impossible to sound as good as Conor* Really enjoyed this video though, it was incredibly interesting! And it's so nice to see NBT starting to get some of the recognition they deserve.

[@howaboutlunch]

Even though Conor Mason is one of my favorite vocalists, I gotta praise your vocals too Chris. I was quite amazed (again) how well you analyze and mimic his vocals and make it sound so good! Your videos are so valuable to all singers here and it's amazing to see how far your own voice can stretch while experimenting the vocals. Please keep up the great work and thanks a lot again!

[@elizavetakotova5294]

Conor has the best vocal I've ever heard. I listen NBT every day. Thanks a lot for video!

[@chrisliepe]

My pleasure!

[@londonspiders4786]

I believe he was classically trained

[@pestabunai]

If someone told me 5 years ago that a road to high vocal artistry includes making controlled noises ranging from breathy lovers through calling babies in head voice to yawning murder victim on one breath I'd laugh in their face. Not laughing now tho. I could watch it for hours but I get too mind blown. BRB, looking for my jaw on the floor.

[@chrisliepe]

Absolute 100% dead on!!! You are going far. Few people really internalize this reality!

[@CP-nb7tr]

I clicked on this because Im trying to find out if there's an explanation as to why I'm so obsessed with conors voice 😂😂 very interesting!! Thanks for making this video 😀👍

[@iamBraeker]

Love Conor!! NBT is amazing and his voice is like no other. His control and power is something I’ve been working on for a while. Still got a long way to go🤣

[@Jack-jn5lg]

I've been waiting for this

[@MrsBlackOrchard]

Conor has the most amazing voice .... been obsessed with NBT for years ♥️ check out his voice on 'I'm not made by design' it's AMAZING 😍

[@theheartcave4155]

I was hoping you’d cover his powerful long chest notes that he sings like in sorry or take this lonely heart

[@chrisliepe]

wow... ya those are incredible!

[@lucilamy1996]

We know to sing like Jeff Buckley and Chris Cornell, and now we will sing like Conor Mason. These three analysis will help me vocally so much! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Holestic_Honesty]

How to sing like Daniel Heinman would be epic.

[@aloricband]

Wow, Chris this was an incredible lesson. So well broken down, I'm really impressed at how you explain things practically. Just subscribed, looking forward to watching more of your vids!

Conor Mason is a very special talent and it's a privilege to listen to him sing. And that's coming from a die-hard Buckley fan. Great video.

Absolutely love Conor’s vocals. I’d love to see you Analyse Chris Klafford!

Cool. Thanks for the upload. Clears up a lot of questions I had about Connors immense vocals. You sound just like Jeff Buckley! Awesome!

[@4menshenin]

Awesome! For me Conor Mason is all about that wide-ass vibrato he does all the tame

[@jamiegunn]

Thank you Chris. Always enjoying how you break down the voice to bring into your own. It is great to hear you sing in your demonstration.

[@armandoleal4199]

Listen to filipe pinto's cover from eddie vedder singing. It's from idolos portugal. But it's just like eddie. I promise you'll be surprised. Try it.

I just want someone to recognize his tallent.

[@raydionile]

I can’t believe i found this video I needed this conors version sooooo much Thank u ur the bestttttt🔥🔥🔥

[@Sambrex]

Amazing video as usual, sorry I only see it now ! Maybe you could dive quite a bit into Puggy’s discography ? They’re a Belgian band (though none of the members are actually Belgian, the singer’s English, the drummer is Swedish and the bassist is French) and are therefore criminally underrated, and I feel like you’d definitely have some interesting points to pick up on in Matthew Irons’ voice. Can’t wait to see more analysis of yours anyways ! :)

[@einbenutzer17]

How to sing like Ren from TheBIG Push!!!!

[@flowercabinet]

you should do Daryl Palumbo from Glassjaw next, his vocal style is really unique and I can’t really compare his voice to anyone else.

[@occhee]

I've been waiting for this video for so long!

[@tiagorods.]

Hey Chris, please, do Daniel Johns from Silverchair, someday! Thank you sir!

[@sevennofficial]

chris these videos are incredible! I cant seem to get power in this kind of mix tho. everytime i push my larynx goes up and it sounds shitty, is there any trick to get this kind of mix powerful? just the yawning?

[@chrisliepe]

It's a careful balance of managing your support and blending the "yawn" sensation with your facial resonance! Have you checked out my mixed voice course yet? go to www.mymusicalvoice.com to see if it might be something you'd want to do

[@yol378]

Definitely the amazingly great surprise of the day. It has been so interesting, i could have been listening to you for a long time still ! Thanks Chris, lot of love from a french vocal coach student ! One day I'll come to America to learn about singing the way you guys do it, and i hope i'll meet you to talk about it! Your passion, hard work and kindness are contagious!

[@ghostriderinthesky6685]

Lots of good bits here, that yawn approach to mixed voice is already helping me out!I think I hear Billy Corgan doing this kind of “resonance switching” a lot too.
