You hit the nail on the head in regards to distortion. As someone who's been screaming and growling for nearly a decade, I can confirm that trying to brute force distortion or compression pushes the stress down from the rather robust vestibular folds (aka "false vocal cords") and into the much more delicate true vocal folds. It very much requires relaxing and leaning into it. Otherwise, not only will you get a horrible tone, but you'll likely mess up your voice over a pretty short time in ways that may require surgery to repair (if it's not beyond that point) if those poor techniques aren't corrected before established as habit.

@@vladdydaddy5197 Oh, it certainly is quite simple from an anatomical standpoint, but it can be tricky to initially figure out how to isolate the false vocal cords, rather than allowing them to dampen the hoarseness in your voice as they typically do, and subsequently use them as a tool in more standard phonation. Good on you if you got it down without much trouble, though! It's always nice to hear when people seem to be able to avoid having to learn the painful way.

I met David Draiman when they performed at the Roseland in Portland Or. During the meet and greet I mentioned to him that underneath all the RAWWWRRR voice. (What I call it) he is direct on pitch and had a beautiful tone. He lit up like a Christmas tree and said “‘thank you bubby, I have been singing for many years and I love it, it’s my passion”....... This is a man who’s been dying to sing a song like this where he can really show his vocal chops. Even though his career is built on RAWWRRR .......he’s a secret soloist in his heart. Lol.

He did triple major in Political Science, Philosophy and something else.... can't recall... with a Bachelor's degree. I've never met him (I envy you) but I can tell when he speaks that he's extremely intelligent and very civilized. I've seen Disturbed 4 times and the time I remember most was in Chicago when their label surprise presented them on stage with an album plaque for 'The Sickness' and he took a shot and said something like [I don't normally drink before a show, but this shot is for you.] It was the single most ABSOLUTE BEST moment I've EVER witnessed in live music. No shit, people were crying in the pit, myself included, maybe-maybe not. From then on, Disturbed became one of the handful of bands of which I always buy their whole album the day it drops whether I've heard or like every song or not... and will be until they don't come out with anything.

Hey, I have lung cancer and only one lung.. so a friend told me a singing coach could help me with my breathing when I speak.. as is, I have to kinda pitch up my voice a bit and talk fast or I run out of air lol So I found your channel and I'm liking it.. its interesting stuff, and I'm curious if you (or anyone) have any advice, or can point me in the right direction.
@nanwijanarko19696 жыл бұрын
I'm sorry to hear that, I hope you feel better. Unfortunately I'm not knowledgeable enough. You're sure you're not making a very breathy sound while speaking, right? And singing is about interaction about air and muscles (and vowels), I hope more experienced people can give you a good advise on how to preserve your breath efficiently.
@DreadKyller6 жыл бұрын
I'm a relative newbie to vocal technique and all that, but if I've found one thing useful it's learning to control how much resistance you have in your voice. As Sam says several times in various videos you have control over the rate of breath, and control over the muscles involved in the process. Singing softer involves practicing using very little resistance, and slower exhalation of air. The more lose the muscles the less air is required to get through the vocal chords. If you increase your rate of breath but don't increase the resistance, your voice gets airy, as the vocal folds can't close all the way. If you increase the resistance or decrease the air without decreasing resistance then you get to a place where it can actually stop you from being able to produce a sound. Going up in pitch usually there's a point where your voice gets thinner and more airy for this reason, if you don't increase its volume. Insceat of making the vocal chords stiffer and expelling more air to increase volume, you may wish to lookup some information on tone, where you could learn some more about how to use your chest throat, mouth and nose to amplify the sound instead of amplifying the sound via the amount of air. This also applies to tension as well, learning technique to relax your throat and jaw will reduce tension in your voice, which could be requiring you to use up more air as well. Some good practice may also be on sustaining, practicing sustaining a frequency (in your case it probably doesn't even matter if it's on a set pitch, just trying to keep the note as consistent as you can without it breaking (no gaps in the sound) if the pitch changes or becomes weaker that's fine for now, but try to practice sustaining a tone as long as you can, and do this in various places in your voice, different pitches, this will help you find and become comfortable with your control over your tension and breath, longer sustain without breaking means both the breath is lasting longer, and that your voice isn't too tense that it cuts off the sound when your airflow gets a bit weaker nearing the end of the sustain. If you're more comfortable with talking for longer periods of time in a higher pitch, you may start closer to there and as you get more comfortable gradually work your way down. Try being as soft-spoken as you can and build up from there. You won't get this overnight, this will take a while, will take practice, and will take some commitment. In general try to be as relaxed as you can in your throat and face, try to speak with less airflow and use resonance to amplify your voice rather than more air. This may take several months. Like I said above, I'm not an expert, I'm quite novice, but this is from what I've gathered some essential technique that I think should help you. It'd be great if someone else could help out who's more experienced, the last thing I want is to spread bad info (I don't think I am but as I said I've only been practicing for about 3 months or so at this point so I'm no where near the most knowledgeable person here so for all I know I could be)
@DanteYewToob6 жыл бұрын
Thank you guys. For taking the time to help, I've been working on it. I had this breath exercise thing from the hospital.. so instead I bought a melodica to practice my air control for longer. I tried that sustained note exercise you said and I'm quite bad! Haha I try to hold a note for as long as I can and It goes up and down lol I do know I'm doing something wrong, because my natural voice is kinda low and raspy.. a bit batman/castiel (I had a trache as a kid, and it messed up my pipes.) But my fake voice I use is higher, and for some reason It lasts longer... it doesn't _feel_ any different, or like I'm changing anything (which I most likely am and don't recognize it.) And so this is where my problem lies... if you asked me, I'd say there is no problem, I don't _think_ I'm doing anything wrong, and wouldn't have the knowledge or vocabulary to put it into words even if I did. I appreciate the feedback, and I think I'm gonna try to find a voice coach in person because I'm so bad a describing my issue! lol

You can take a random set of nouns, verbs and adjectives that he used, replace them with totally different nouns, verbs and adjectives, and they'll convey exactly the same amount of meaning: zero. Example: 2:21 "feeling of roundness". What the hell does that even mean?! You can replace that with "feeling of softness", "feeling of heaviness", "feeling of warmth", "feeling of darkness", "feeling of smoothness", "feeling of loneliness", "feeling of emptiness", and they would all be equally -meaningful- meaningless even though they are completely different words. THAT is how you know a description of something is total bullshit. It's good enough to impress teenage girls and sell singing lessons, but to any remotely rational person it's just a pile of manure.

you can definitely hear the artifacts glides made by the autotune throughout the whole song. And I disagree about the fact he can nail the song without it. If the sound guy needed a warranty he would set it up very mild. But it was set up at trap-singer, Cher-in-the-90es, levels. Also, since you can hear the autotune correction throughout the whole song it means the autotune was working A LOT, not just to adjust some notes.

Draiman's ability is incredible. People who know a bit about voice are blown away by his ability to distort while remaining perfectly controlled. He doesn't strain. He has great tone and timbre and can shape vowels. He is often overlooked by many because of his music style, but his skill is exceptional. everyone on idol, the voice, or x factor tries to stand out as unique, but they just sound like indie copies.

Awesome video man! I’m not vocal coach and I can’t sing a lick but Draiman to me has an amazing voice, one of the best. He’s incredibly talented vocally. There’s not many like him.

I wonder if you've ever heard of Nightwish, or at the very least heard of their lead singer Floor Jansen? She has a phenomenal voice, and is extremely versatile. Her performance at their Wacken show in 2013 is mind-blowing. It'd be awesome if you could check out Ghost Love Score (Live from Wacken 2013), Yours is an Empty Hope (Live from the Nightwish Cruise), or Poet and the Pendulum (Live at Wembley). I think you'd enjoy her voice, and the sound of the band, too. :)

Floor Jansen has some of the most phenomenal vocal abilities in the metal genre, and really in general. Watching her with Nightwish really shows you what happens when you find a singer who not only can flourish with the music, but brings the music up to a new level as well. Any Nightwish video you post will get a slew of die-hard fans who refuse to move past the first singer in the band who was dismissed 10 years ago, but you shouldn't let it discourage you from really sinking into the sound and emotion of the current lineup!

My first watch of one of your videos. Clear, concise and it seems almost obvious to say you know what you're talking about. Well done. I came for the song, which is amazing, but your analysis of it was so well spoken and well-thought-out, plus the sheer calm competence you show makes me want you as my voice teacher.

Shouldn't it bother him as a voice teacher though? If a computer does half the singing, what's the point in analysing his voice?
@UberPwnageHD6 жыл бұрын
because the whole song isnt auto tuned,
@thomasfrazer89346 жыл бұрын
Part of his point was that the computer isn't doing half the singing in this case. Just a little smoothing.
@jonasc12216 жыл бұрын
If autotune is as obvious as it is in this performance, then it's doing more than it should. His voice sounds robotic at times. Try listening from 0:48 to 0:58 (listen multiple times, you'll feel sick). I suspect the vibrato in "silenceeee" is also computed - apart from sounding very robotic it's also shitfting at a pace of 1/16 (same as the vibrato at the end). It's just too much.

Jonas Charif I take it you’ve never heard David sing unplugged. His vibrato sounds exactly like it does in this song. You cannot add vibrato in that way, instead the “autotune” he talks about here is in fact note smoothing. If David knows he can’t hold a certain note before another, he’ll opt for autotune to help transition smoothly from one note to another. Nice try, though.

This version of Sound of Silence brings tears in my eyes every time I hear it. The way David’s voice builds up to the finale. Gosh! Words can’t explain it. You just have to let it in and it takes over your mind and body! Man! He has some amazing pipes! That voice and those piecing eyes

David Draiman, the lead singer, trained as a cantor. While it isn't quite classical training, when listening to him sing, it's clear he knows what he's doing. I love the way he uses different techniques to produce different effects.

colin winwood It's time we stopped confusing "classical" with "better". A better definition of "classical" would be "Unchanging", which, inevitably, eventually means "worse". Look at opera...the training was developed by people who knew nothing at all about anatomy or how we even produce sounds. And it fucking shows! It's been a centuries long competition to see who can shout the loudest in unintelligible Italian. Except for the women...being a "good" female opera singer seems to be all about whoever can make the most irritating, piercing sound. Oh, and in both cases, an insane amount of vibrato on every single syllable is considered good...for some reason. So you got males who are all about making the loudest vowels and to Hell with character or even hearing the words, and females who are all about sounding like a burglar alarm. If we were hit with this music for the first time right now, we'd all say "What the fuck is this crap?". But "Old" = "classical" = "better" in the minds of those that teach. But remember: Those that can, DO. Those that can't, teach.
