Voice Teacher Reacts to Ariana Grande Carpool Karaoke

[@madisongoesmoo]

“A lot of artists don’t like to sing high because there fans can’t sing along....she doesn’t really care” I started dying when he said that😂😂😂

[@frostedsilver]

He's right, though. Lol

[@madisongoesmoo]

Billy Seed I’m alive don’t worry 😂

[@madisongoesmoo]

Esmeralda Doll what?

[@Katy-sh3ru]

Yeah, that was a revelation to me. I guess all the artists I listen to don't think about whether their fans can sing along at all! And I'm glad! How can you challenge yourself otherwise and if you can't, you can't. I'm just happy they *can*

[@Chavezoid]

This 3000-year-old Elven vocal coach sure knows his singing techniques. He taught Arwen how to sing.

[@raven-annewelch9643]

Chavezoid AGREED

[@crazytanya4ya]

Chavezoid 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️✌🏼✌🏼

[@sugrandspyce]

I had NO IDEA singing was so incredibly technical. I thought singers were just born able to sing but after watching your videos I'm realizing it's more like learning to play an instrument. Interesting!

[@Lilee177]

Amen. I can't sing good, but I can sing in tune. If I get lessons, I will sing good. I simply do not know the technicalities of singing. People can learn.

[@jordantbryant9861]

Smh

[@MajorBronsPonies]

*well. You can't sing well.

[@blkangelflame]

His price is actually $60 for 30 minutes. Not sure where you halved it, but I'd still pay because he seems like he really knows what he's talking about.

[@quadmasta]

There are a few videos of Ed Sheeran talking about how horrible he was at singing not too long ago. It's interesting to see someone at his level talking about honing his craft.

[@nickwiederhold]

I think my favorite part of your videos is that you aren't afraid to say you wouldn't do much coaching when someone is doing what they want to do to achieve a sound. Most of the coaches on here would just pick apart every little nagging issue that isn't the "classically trained" version of vocal training to show that they're "SO SUPERIOR". Knowledge without being pretentious is refreshing.

[@nickwiederhold]

Subbed, by the way.

[@jerrysizzler44]

Very true! Everyone else I've checked out us just annoyingly ego tripping.

[@AdventuresofBarbarella]

[@johnseckinger9523]

[@geministargazer9830]

Camille d'Anjou yes, I’m studying linguistics and actually the class I’m doing now is shared with the speech pathologists. It’s interesting to see the same concepts in a different sort of way. Particularly with the vowels

[@loveshot688]

'They're barely together but they're still together' 😂

[@marivel2561]

that was my favorite part of this whole video

[@flowing_waters94]

Guess he meant "they're not touching but very very close" or something haha

[@RUSHnj1]

What he's saying is they're very lightly touching. So imagine it as though you're resting your finger on your arm, vs pushing your finger into your arm. In both cases the finger is touching the arm but there's a very different pressure between the two of them.

[@pinkpasielypjs]

i totally agree. my father was a trained opera singer and taught me as well (though i cant sing nearly as well as he did) and this particular carpool blew me away from word go! so glad to hear you echo this!!! they are both amazing. i already listen to ariana but i would listen to him in an album as well. they blend well and he reads harmony so well with his passengers. reading harmony is not easy for some because it takes good ears and to learn not to over shadow the one you want to be the main lead, but you want it to stand out too at the same time. james, is phenomenal at it. i would watch both of them in lil shop of horrors lol.

Wow I like how you covered James's vocals as well. At 3:20 when you explained his vocals and then followed it by reproducing his sound from your mouth... Sold! It was so spot on.

[@Crys_Kris]

I'm in awe that it seems as if she's breathing regularly... as if she's singing effortlessly. I guess, I'm just used to sing many singers take this massive inhale before regular 'runs'

[@SamJohnsonVoice]

People think that huge inhale will be helpful but it just sets you up for tension !

[@Katy-sh3ru]

Wow. From this and another coach I'm really understanding how your mentality can affect your performance! Fear creates tension. Same with giving birth!

[@Toywins]

She is effortless, she may as well be ordering food, she makes this look so easy!

Yay, I was just yesterday watching that carpool karaoke. :) James was seriously working there~ He's a good singer (someone needs to get him into that damn band, so he'd get a spotlight, haha). I love listening to Ariana singing. It's like a honey to my ears. And yeah, you can totally see/hear that she's not afraid to sing high, it's fun for her, and she likes to play with it.

[@krodmusik]

Dude, I found you on youtube out of nowhere! And I love the way how you can speak so technical about what´s going on on such "short" listening! I produce music, specifically instrumentals for artists (singers) who don´t compose... etc..etc... you know how it is. I WISH I HAD someone this quick and effective in the studio for vocal orientation when the clients come over to sing!!! DAMNNN Love your channel, AWESOME work!!

so happy you also analyzed james he deserves props for singing with some of the best

[@jjxajg9881]

I love how James could actually keep up with and match her without pushing or trying to overshadow her and be something that he’s not. James is not a singer but I do think that if he were to ever dabble in the music industry, he could definitely make it. He has a nice sound and his voice and his techniques are very impressive

[@kitebabe05]

I love it how happy and passionate they are singing! I am most impressed by a spontaneous improvisation. this shows what really good musicians and singers are and how good they can work together.

I'm pretty sure that he'd say the same things he says about Ari, that he'd work with her on that but that it's also part of her style so if she wants to do it and it's not harming her singing then all's well. Personally I like the way they do that, I think it helps with the wobble in their runs and it looks interesting :D

[@TheEmmakathryn]

I wonder if it's part of their 'acting' singing for music vids? It's kind of a visual style rather than a vocal one?

Kim So-hyang (born April 5, 1978) is a South Korean Christian singer known for her controlled, skillful, and developed voice who has been dubbed by the international media as the “Korean Mariah Carey”. Sohyang is a devout Christian. She first began singing in her local community, with no aspirations of pursuing a career as a professional singer. She turned down all major korean entertainment companies stating she only sings for God. She was diagnosed with cervical cancer; due to the early detection, she was able to survive the cancer, but was rendered infertile. Until today, she gets sick very easily. Her vocals have been praised by various vocal coaches and singers like Seth Riggs (whom she took a few goals lessons from) and Michael Bolton.
