If you haven't already, you should check out Anneke van Giersbergen's vocals from the early days of "The Gathering". She has the voice of an angel. There's a ton of live footage on KZbin but IMO the "Poland 08.06.1997" performance is a good start. The opening track "Confusion" is a favorite but they all shine.

Most reaction channels are nothing more than "fame vultures", trying to parasite some views from the real artist.

That makes this my very favorite reaction channel.

[@bridgetharrison103]

You had me at the part of neurological studying on others. I had a stroke in 2019 where I lost my voice and obviously could no longer sing. I used to sing Opera and was considered a Lyric Soprano but since my stroke I'm slowly getting my singing voice back I have not had it tested but I believe I dropped to a Mezzo and still working on tempo. I believe that singing has brought my voice back. I couldn't walk, talk or even use utensils but I'm here today doing all that and more even driving but still never truly got my before voice back it's my whole life and the saddest part the only thing that I didn't get back. I will gladly fund this study and if you want I'm open to a subject of yours as well.

[@chrisd7047]

Wow, that sucks, but great work getting back what you've gotten so far. I had a similar experience of losing my voice and not getting all of it back. I spent over a month intubated in a burn ward in 1997. I think the gauge of the tube was too large because when I came off the vent, I couldn't speak or swallow. It took 2 months for me to be able to swallow anything, and over a year for my voice to sound right in my head. And I had been a singer in my youth. About 90% of my voice came back, but there are certain things around the edges I can no longer do (for instance, my falsetto is come and go at best and is effectively useless due to unreliability). I can only describe it as chronic partial vocal fold paralysis. If that description sounds like it fits you, you have my condolences.

[@bridgetharrison103]

@chrisd7047 In return much love and healing to you. What you described does sound similar im trying to retrain my breathing but it definitely not reliable but also my registry isn't as wide I've been singing church as well as choirs to NC Opera Play. I'm lucky I still have a taped session of me singing. I hope this funding that she's doing well help and I'd hop on the next plane to be tested I believe it's needed so much.

[@_Starhammer]

I suffered a very mild stroke when I was much younger, about 20 or 21 in the early 90s. I spent about a year relearning how to talk and walk and other things. Interestingly singing was a big step on the path to recovery. Before I could talk at all beyond monosyllabic partial words, one of my preferred pastimes was listening to music. Mostly classic rock & metal... Metallica's black album got a lot of play back then. One day I realized I was singing along to some of the lines. At the time, I didn't even know if I was ever going to speak again, so it was a pretty astounding experience. It still took a while before I was able to independently form actual sentences and such, but it had helped me to realize it was possible, and I think may have done something to the effect of helping to recover muscle memory or something to that effect. I don't know the academic side of these things as well as I would like, but I always like to share the experience when I see the topic, in hopes that maybe it may help someone else along their path to recovery.

[@bridgetharrison103]

As someone who's been a metalhead since the Cold War, knowing that we're finally being taken seriously, and potentially changing history through extensive research, kind of brings a tear to my eye. I've always been proud of my metalhead "family" and culture. But now, it has even more purpose and significance. And to think that we may even someday be revered as "greats" in the company of opera singers. God damn, get me a tissue! I couldn't be happier for you, WIll, the vocalists on board, and all of heavy metal. Keep fighting the good fight!

[@ethandowler4669]

it didn't "kind of" bring a tear to my eye - I'm bawling over here haha. I feel so validated knowing that harsh/distorted vocals have a place in the world and that they can help people.

You should speak with my old vocal coach, Carla Thelen Hanson. She's also an opra singer like yourself & she teaches in Rochester, MN. This is also the home campus of The Mayo Clinic, so there's plenty of people (like myself) who've gone through traumatic accidents & illnesses that directly affect our voices. Carla loves to study her students when that happens to help us utilize what ability we still have. I was a tenor my entire life... UNTIL a car accident in 2009. Now, I'm a baritone-bass! Carla said my range dropped by one-third of an octave!

Hi Elizabeth. Your channel means a lot to me. I was diagnosed with PTSD a couple years ago, and it's been a turning point for me, a before and after event in my life. I've made a lot of progress in learning how to live with it, but I still have a hard time processing and letting go of emotions. When I get emotionally constipated I get a release by watching your reactions to the music that I've listened to for most of my life, classic rock, grunge, metal... To see your reactions to music that I love triggers something in me and brings tears and emotional release. Watching your channel is actually part of my safety plan. When you analyze the music with technical and artistic expertise it broadens my understanding and helps me appreciate the details of how an artist can take us on a journey with sounds and words. You've talked about the power of connections between people and how they are not only meaningful, but necessary for happiness. Thank you so much for helping me feel those connections! I hope it gives you a sense of pride to know you're helping others just by being yourself and sharing your life's passion. Keep on keepin' on, rock on, and fight the good fight 🤘🎶👩‍🎤

Because I swear to her that whenever I am starting to feel sick or have an upset stomach, I get in my car and drive and just sing, and sing, and sing, and eventually completely feel better.

I am fully on the side of singing can help people feel better when you are sick. So when you say singing can help destroy cancer cells and help with cardiovascular health I don't even need to see the research because I 100% believe singing has the power to heal.

I laid in the hospital for a week after surgery & listened to Pantera’s version of Ozzy’s song Planet Caravan on repeat! There was something so mesmerizing about that song. It took me to the sky & in flight like so many of my dreams in the past! Flash forward to 24 yrs later & 2 of my 3 children have been married 20yrs & I’ve been blessed with 10 grandchildren from my 2 daughters! Also, my oldest daughter sang & danced since she was 5yrs old & recently had a fluid sack on her esophagus right next to her vocal cords drained. The drs hit her vocal cords & she had only a whisper for 6 months. She just had another surgery to remove the cyst & half her thyroid gland & it worked!

To see someone like you who came from a world filled with the elite of the elite in musical snobbery truly open her mind and embrace the beauty of metal vocalists has been a pleasure to watch over the last 4+ years.

Speaking of which, ever since your collaboration with Miracle of Sound I've been low key hoping for that song's line-up to become a full-time band haha. If you did I'm sure that all your vocalist friends would happily feature on your songs.

[@deementia6796]

This is exactly why I love this channel. You geeking out over your passion is SUCH a wonderful thing to see and experience. I hope that everyone that watches this, shows the support to their friends family .. and LET THEM share and encourage their passion, whether its the structure and technique of the voice, a particular worm that only lives in 5 square acres of a marshy, or matchbooks from the 1920's. You never know what the world could learn or discover!

[@TJMendyk]

This is SOOOO fascinating!!! Thank you for taking us along!!!

[@ronrogers7743]

I havent' been here since the beginning - I jumped in when I discovered your reactions to Weird Al - but your content has taught me a lot about my own voice. Seeing you flourish from what you were to where you are now has been quite the journey!

[@chuck1370]

Been watching since floor and jinjer, learned lots and love the reactions. Can't wait to see what is to come.❤❤

[@kaeseblock1362]

Same 👍

[@Galahad54]

I did not realize that I'd caught your first reaction video. And, 4 years later, making academic history in a completely different genre. What a journey.

[@progbass56]

Liz.... You got me with this. Mixing science, health an music! I'm in! I stumbled across you and your channel a short time ago because of your Ghost Love Score reaction. I've been a Symphonic Prog Rock fan sonce YES put out Roundabout in 72. My Sophomore year of HS. I was already a Heavy Metal fan of Steppenwolf and Iron Butterfly. (I wasn't big on the Metal of the 80s becauae they weren't heavy enough. Then in the early 2000s my sons turned me onto Dream Theater. Now since Spotify, I have found many more Prog Metal bands leading Nightwish a couple years ago. And That, led me to you. I'm 68 ans love heavy and beautiful music. It is an honor to ha e met you and now be on this journey of loveing music with you. ❤ 🎉 PS: The health part, I was a Nurse for over a decade and now am trying to stay healthy!!! 😮 😂

[@progbass56]

PSS: I forgot to mention that I have a red-headed daughter named Rachael! Born in 84.

[@amiranda2911]

I have a child who's been in speech therapy for 8 years. I love that your ideas could help so many people. I found early on that singing was a gateway for my child to be able to put certain sounds together. Thank you for thinking about not just how this could add beauty to the world, but also beyond that!

[@dr0pb34r]

You're reaction to Pisces was what started my journey with you and your channel

[@nikolairaven7687]

The reason I started following this channel is because I just love watching someone turn into a metalhead in real time!

Hi Elizabeth, Congratulations and all the best as the journey unfolds.

This is actually the most awesome video ive seen in a long time. Couldn't stop watching. You're awesome. Congrats!

[@hillbillynurse7212]

The research nerd in me is thrilled you're pursuing this! You need to locate a man named Jason Laktash. While a teenager, he had his larynx completely crushed, and if I recall correctly, removed. He was told he'd never be able to speak again without a mechanical device, but taught himself just how to do so using those superglottic structures on his own-in only a few months.

[@YaMumWasHere]

Why did this make me cry?? 😭 So happy for you. Been watching your journey since the beginning, wishing you all the best for the future 🙏🏻

[@RottenlyMoodyChild]

Thank you for your genuine curiosity and generosity. For never stigmatising and always embracing the vocal distortion community with enthusiasm and kindness. You have achieved so much and made so many beautiful connections over the past five years, I cannot wait to see where the next five years takes you. Thank you, Elizabeth 🫶

[@laurieemme1534]

Well said! I wholeheartedly agree!

[@Chance_1517]

Been watching you shortly before your Jinjer video. You have given me a vastly greater appreciation for vocals. This in turn has given me a passion for different genres of music. I can't express how grateful I am,and how much I enjoy all that you do......p.s. love tea time.

[@Seeyatellite]

I have a bit of a tear in my eye with the joyful optimism this video inspired in me. Thanks for everything you and Will are doing with all the wonderful people with letters behind their names. So much appreciation, Elizabeth.

[@pikapika069]

I don't know if it would do well on the channel, but I would love to see an analysis of Ville Valo's vocals from the band HIM. They disbanded in 2017, but he recently released a solo album titled Neon Noir, that is amazing as well. I am EXTREMELY biased on how lovely his voice is, I've been a fan since I was 19, I'm 39 now, lol.

[@gillianomotoso328]

His range and timbrality is inordinate. He can go from bass D to tenor high D in no time and it always sounds unsettlingly strong

[@jaxhaxnsnax]

Seriously. Please do HIM. Ville has an insane voice.

[@jaxhaxnsnax]

Razorblade Kiss is a fairly good song to hear what Ville can do. I mean there are dozens, but that one people know.

[@techsoul5590]

I second this, obviously. That guy is so unique on so many levels!

[@michaelbayerl1683]

Wow! Great to see Dr. Titze is still working on his passion. I worked with him in '94-95 when he was still at the University of Iowa. I also did all the video, EMG and botox injections with the Otolaryngology Department that year.

[@FranksDrumCave]

this is amazing

[@miniscenesgb]

Sooooo many people doing reaction videos re music nowadays. I am totally in love with your reactions, you present so well, your analytics of how the voice works is amazing! Your expertise and personality together makes for a terrific view, even for me as I am normally not that interested in the science and art of singing, just enjoy the music! Found you because of your review of Sam Ryder. I really hope your interest in the science that you outline here really will help medical science too. That's amazing! Thanks for your channel, love it still!

Finally science studying something worth while! I love what you are doing! I particularly like how you mentioned music therapy. I've never been to a music therapist, but I did force myself to sing karaoke every week for about a year and it almost completely healed my social anxiety. Music has always been there for me and I'm glad there are people in the world studying what we are doing and encouraging more music and more exploration. You are a good egg.

[@TheGreatChrisB]

So happy to see Tatiana Shmayluk of Jinjer on the list, her sounds are insane and the speed she switches is crazy. I think Alex Terrible would be another great one because he has the most powerful voice I've ever heard. Chester Bennington would have been an amazing one to see since he holds the record for longest scream.

[@bretbret5221]

I highly recommend reacting to Apocalyptica - 'Bittersweet' feat. Lauri Ylönen & Ville Valo The stark contrast between Ville's and Lauri's voices is unbelievable yet they fit so well and sound beautiful together!

It's awesome hearing about your research and the potential applications and all. You unknowingly opened up something big and it has the potential to be great.

Hi, The Charismatic Voice team! I hope this message finds you well! I wanted to suggest a reaction to a powerful and emotionally charged performance by one of Brazil's most iconic singers, Elis Regina. Her live rendition of "Como os Nossos Pais" (Like Our Parents) is a breathtaking showcase of her vocal prowess and emotional depth. This song has a special place in the hearts of many Brazilians, and Elis's performance is often considered one of the most moving in Brazilian music history. I believe you would enjoy analyzing her unique vocal techniques, emotional delivery, and the cultural significance of the song. It would be amazing to see you share your insights and reactions to this unforgettable performance! Thank you for considering this request, and I look forward to seeing more of your fantastic content! Best regards, Mateus
