This is the best “how to sing like jon bon jovi” video so far! Thanks so much for doing this!

[@RockYourBestVocals]

Hi Ryo, My pleasure! Thank you for that amazing feedback - love to hear that! Appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment!!! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼

[@kelvinjimenez5628]

Been struggling with this song for months but when i watched this video i did it in one attempt🤣 really thanks man this is very helpful❤️

[@RockYourBestVocals]

Glad it helped!

[@shainhenson3990]

Band really wants to add this to our song set. To my demise this teaching lesson gives me the confidence to pull it off. Very helpful. Thank You

[@RockYourBestVocals]

Awesome - so glad it helped! If I can do it, YOU can do it!

[@arnolddimailig1926]

Can you do a Steve Perry Open Arms song..

[@joshuahalliwell100]

before i started singing this song, i thought the woah would be the hard belt. The "prayer" is defo the tougher bit. Cheers for the video, the tips help a lot with the intro.

[@RockYourBestVocals]

Glad to hear you found it helpful!

[@juniormark18]

I learn a lot sir thank you so much I'm a Filipino aspiring singer thank God I found you coach

[@guitpizz]

At what age did you get your first karaoke machine? just bugging you. Filipinos do love their K machine but they have many great singers.

[@guitpizz]

Very solid breakdown. You don't just talk about what the guy does but you can give examples and mimic.

[@alexanderperviy2029]

Maaan!!! it's so cool!!! You best voice,respect you!!!

[@RockYourBestVocals]

WOW! Very much appreciated, Alexander - so glad you liked it! Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment!!! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼

[@RenatoMesquitamusic]

could you please please make a video teaching us how to sing Always??? Thank you for your generosity

[@mrrabbit226]

Hey Jim, so just to understand the killer last chorus: does he switch btw head voice and chest voice on the original recording? thanks for the vid, awesome job!

[@RockYourBestVocals]

That's a GREAT question, but only something he can answer because it can be hard to distinguish although it sounds like a hybrid to me... if he's using 'one register singing' then it is almost impossible to tell

[@mrrabbit226]

@RockYourBestVocals hey thanks a lot! He doesn't sound like that or go that high in other tunes I think, so it makes me wonder. Anyway I think the fact that it's impossible to find a live version where he kills it speaks by itself. The isolated voice track from studio is a bliss to listen to though!

[@frankvandalen2565]

this one helps me a lot ......thanks

[@陳妍杏-o7d]

謝謝！

[@RockYourBestVocals]

Wow thank you so much!

[@kensnedegar5925]

You did a great job it's one of my favorite singers growing up in my twenties of course I'm the same age is Bon Jovi LOL

[@RockYourBestVocals]

Hey Ken, same here - my (top) hair hasn't achieved the same lovely grey as his, but my 'beard' sure has! LOL! Appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment!!! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼

[@kensnedegar5925]

Sure will always watch you get good advice cuz I like singing to God bless you

[@DanielHiley]

Super helpful man thanks!

[@chantolosa]

At least you learned these singing techniques u can sing any Bon Jovi songs, because in Livin on a prayer Jon uses all of his vocal techniques

[@aidanmullenger3390]

Im glad ur showing a healthy way that actually sounds similar and good unlike what Jon actually did with the pretty unhealthy distortion he did

[@RockYourBestVocals]

Thank you for that acknowledgement! In my professional career, I started out NOT knowing how to get the 'similar' (safe) sounds, and ended up destroying my voice on many occasions... One day I said, "I gotta figure out a way to save my voice and not sacrifice sounding like the actual song". I came up with some specific tools to do that, and love sharing them so others can avoid damage. Thank you (again) for taking the time - REALLY appreciate you!!! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼

[@marcanthonyfiocca3030]

Your so good vocal teacher,! I’ll probably search those videos of ken altough it is quite good but for you thumbs up sir

[@emmanuelwolf6568]

im auditioning for a bon jovi tribute next week ,im very nervous.

[@RockYourBestVocals]

Nerves will make you sing worse, so you must 'program' your mind to know that you will perform perfectly... HOW you ask? (I cover this in my programs and 1:1 coaching) But the short version is - use visualization and self-hypnosis to visualize yourself performing perfectly at the audition... I've used this ALL throughout my >30year career, so I speak from experience to say this WORKS! Best of luck for your audition!!! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼

[@emmanuelwolf6568]

@@RockYourBestVocals thanks for the advice buddy, im kinda my own worse enemy here, i find myself looking at other guys who sing bon jovi and feeling really stressed i cant hit certain notes, i know i have to compress the high notes to hit them, as i dont want this song to better me.i know i can do it.

[@DANWRIGHTITIS]

Cool Video JIm! Can you maybe do a vid about the use of Effects like Reverb & echo on vocals. Or indeed the OVER USE of effects! salud

[@RockYourBestVocals]

Hey Dan, great suggestions! I like how you stated 'over use' of effects - haha! I'm not big on effects but I'll put this on my list because maybe it will help people to be mindful that effects often don't make you sound better (just putting reverb on BAD vocals is just BAD VOCALS with reverb on them - haha! 🤣 Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!!! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼

[@raccoonlover7280]

Wow! This tutorial was very helpful, but I got a question: How can I do this without hurting my vocal cords? I keep hurting myself, so are there any voice exercises I can do?

[@RockYourBestVocals]

Hi, I would need to hear what you are doing so I can assess how you might fix it, and I would love to help. Consider booking a 1:1 consultation on my website rockyourbestvocals(dot)com and we can discuss! I'd be happy to help!

[@raccoonlover7280]

I had trouble getting on your website, though. I don't know how to do it, unfortunately. Also, will it be possible for me to sing like Bon Jovi? I'm just asking because I am female. If it is possible, my voice will sound different, but that's okay because not everyone will sound the same for singing. 🙂

[@msantos7948]

This is awesome. Thank you

[@RockYourBestVocals]

You're very welcome!

[@Mike-gz8gy]

This was a really polished one, Jim! Awesome breakdown! I lived in New Jersey for a time, so trust me when I say, they can take it. Gosh, I hated it there. lol xD

[@RockYourBestVocals]

Thank you Michael, you are always too kind with your reviews! Hopefully you got the 'which exit?' reference? haha! BTW, actually, which exit did you live off of? ;) Was it THAT bad? 😱

[@Mike-gz8gy]

@@RockYourBestVocals Sadly, the joke went over my head. I was serving in the Air Force at the time at McGuire. It could have been me, but between the weather, the people, the food, and there being nothing to do where I was, it was a drag. I'd take a bus to Philly on the weekends, that was more my speed. NYC was a great time. I'm sure it's just me. xD

Which is the hardest song on your opinion

[@RockYourBestVocals]

Hmmm tough one, because I only regularly sing living on a prayer in gigs and the end (upward pitch modulation) can be very challenging most times!

[@davidlopez2519]

@@RockYourBestVocals thanks a lot for the cool lesson and you sound cool! 👏👏👏🤘

[@robbieflores4780]

Do you really have to have that range to be able to sing this aside from infusing raspy or distorting sound? Cos I think you really have a high range even if you sing this with your own tone. anyway, This is definitely the best How to sing like Jon Bon Jovi.. Great Job 🙂 I can only sing this when I'm sleeping because it's all happening in my dream.

[@emmanuelwolfmusic410]

You are amazing. Bon jovi is one of my favorite american singer. I wonder if you can help me master that song living on a prayer. I love to learn. You are amazing, can you help me.

Thank you for your kind comments! Best thing is to just keep practicing and take each difficult line slowly and feel into where you are having difficulty and go from there... I have some options for courses so check out my website - link in description for more!

[@cliffsandifer3877]

even Jon himself in interview that this song was "a bitch" to sing....eventually he let his audience sing that part and as recent he had surgery on his voice cords. this was all you tube topic

[@bbbazzinga]

My problem is that I can't reach the high notes, much less do that and also mimic Jon's singing.

[@RockYourBestVocals]

Not even in falsetto? Keep in mind the vocal folds are muscles that can be stretched, with time and work!

[@nolmontecalvo2623]

you really sounded just like bon jovi sir. could you please make a video on how bon jovi scream in living in sin

Wow really, think I pulled it off? 😊👍🏼🤔 I’ll try to do something on the scream, I’m not familiar with that so I’ll have to listen!
