How to Sing Like Liam Gallagher (Expressive, Changes Over Time) What His Voice Means for Your Voice

[@TheRealLange21]

"The song is kinda chill, but HE's really quite aggressive." That's what makes Oasis so great summed up in one sentence

[@maxfowler9476]

If you’ve ever been to Manchester, that sums up the entire vibe of the city. Kinda chill but still aggressive

[@Scriptshepherd]

Vocal Coach: "Liam is a placement master" Liam: "I just shout, but kind of in tune."

One thing I've noticed about his voice is he utilizes zero vibrato. If he sings long notes he doesn't do the easy thing where you add vibrato, he just forces it regardless if it kills him.

I heard Noel say he wrote songs just for Liam's range which is why he sounds so good

[@badgasaurus4211]

No that’s incorrect. Noel wrote them for himself and Liam just nailed them anyway

[@badgasaurus4211]

@@missunique65 I’m not wrong, check it yourself. I’m sure he’s said on multiple occasions he writes the songs for himself, then if Liam struggles or it doesn’t sound as good then he drops the key down a bit. That’s what he’s claimed. I think that second part is false tho, because he hardly ever raises the key on songs in solo shows. So to me, that all says he writes the songs for himself then just hands them to liam to sing. You’d have to share the exact video. Also why say doofus? Don’t be a prick

I have always loved Liams approach, not just a singer (sometimes lacking as a "singer") but a true vocalist, an expressionist and artistic in the delivery resulting in a one of kind voice wherein you can still clearly hear his influences.

Agreed!

Liam, in my opinion, needs a co-writing credit. Sure, Noel writes the songs melodies and all, but it’s Liam’s OWN voice and it’s nothing like Noel’s original phrasing and melodies, and it’s Liam’s voice that MAKE the songs. And makes them absolute classics.

[@liamnolan2814]

Liam sings as it is from his heart snd soul no technique its just there

[@thelad789]

Oasis have loads of fans still. Most of them are obsessed with Liam. It would be great if you could do an indepth video on his voice and how it was damaged over the years. You'd get a lot of views! You say that he changed his voice but that was out of necessity. His signing voice was reall rough and croaky and he could barely hit any notes after the first few years. I think it was something to do with his singing style and lifestyle. But you'd obviously be able to really hone in on it.

[@thelad789]

[@TheStrongBoyz19]

I'm not really like a professional singer and more of a guitar player, that being my main instrument but Liam's vocal style has been a big help on pronunciation of the words and project the vocals better with my accent. Liam's been one of my favourite singers, even having Johnny Rotten as a big influence and Madonna was the inspiration to be a singer.

[@axel.lessio]

I love how many of his modulations are just naturally built into him being from Manchester. 😂

There's aspects of both Ian Brown of the Stone Roses and John Lydon of the Sex Pistols in Liam's voice and performance.

[@finw6844]

I agreee for sure

[@danablack4048]

Ian brown? Liams not out of tune is he

[@finw6844]

If you go back to very early 90s where bonehead was writing the songs with Liam. He said all he wanted to do is sound like Ian brown (listen to the old 1992 songs where “oasis” was called rain. He sounds just like Ian. But after oasis was more well known Liam started to find his own sound which we all know , and I think there’s definitely a Johnny rotten influence in there for sure

[@benlee7800]

Great seeing a Liam analysis on here! I'm from Manchester and the music scene here has a plethora of Oasis style bands and singers, and I've always wanted to borrow elements of his Lydon/Lennon style without sounding like I'm trying to imitate him - so this video has been super helpful! I love a lot of Mancunian music as well as 90's grunge, Jeff Buckley etc so this has become my favourite vocal coaching channel on KZbin - Nice one, Chris!

Yesterday, I wanted to request a video on Liam Gallagher in the comments on your upcoming video. Never thought that your upcoming video will be on Liam. I'm blessed

[@RonnieGavelin]

Great analysis! I´ve always liked Oasis but thought of Liam as a rather rough and uncomplicated singer (not in a bad way, just that he´s pretty straight forward so to speak). Haven´t listened so much to his later stuff though and realise now that he´s not only a lot more refined than I thought, but also that I like his "older" voice a lot more.

[@Michelle_Schu-blacka]

4:40 is 95% of what you need to know to understand Liam's vocals ... Aggressive. He attacks songs. Just watch him recording Step Out. Combined with his accent and method of trying to create a straight line from his lungs to his mouth, which sort of pushes the jaw out and creates a bit of gravel. Plus the way he pulls his lips back, which is part of his aggressive style. Throw copious amounts of booze, cigarettes and coke at that and you get Liam's vocals. Trust me, his voice isn't entirely intentional. It's part of the reason he's knackered his voice but it's totally worth it.

Ahh, yes. I actually figured this one out a while ago, all you need for a perfect Liam is one sound: "Nnnyeeaaaaaahhhh". Just remember to wrinkle your nose in a smug manner, and shove your chin out like you're on wiz, and that's more or less his entire essence right there.

Good question bro

[@sciexp]

To me it seems that Liam has not forced the voice quite a lot in Oasis. If he has broken his voice, maybe it has been due to lifestyle... Most likely, is age. In the latter examples, he is even more relaxed, or less aggressive. It seems to me at least...

[@nox4298]

He also got diagnosed with hashimoto disease which really took a large toll on his voice.

[@mwm345]

I think so, he had vocal problems as early as 96, theres a particular concert in USA where he was mid song and said "i cant, sorry when i sing is like punching a wall and i cant, is f**ed up", i dont know if it was the shouting, the posture or his overall habits while singing but he had a massive change after Be here now (got rid of shouting almost entirely). It was also around that time that noel started to sing more songs like shes electric, probably becase liam was not able to hit A4 and G4 as easily as before. Most of this i learned watching the documentary "supersonic"
