Singers: How to Develop Power the RIGHT Way (Have you discovered this?)

[@valderamusic]

How the hell is this guy not famous???? I mean teaching aside .... his voice is AMAZING! Better than anything on the radio today.

[@chrisliepe]

Thank you!! :) Glad you're enjoying the videos!

[@RockAlongRecords]

right?!!!

[@IAMNODINE]

For real he is a genius da best vocal trainer I hv ever seen 🎼

[@40nights40daystv]

THIS MAN SAVED MY VOICE, I was really screwing up my voice in a hardcore band and his videos with a little practice on the technique literally saved me from injury. love ya man! thanks for the quality free content!

[@samuelcf97]

This made me finally "get" breath support

[@NinjaSpecter]

I know, right? I finally understand what they all mean by "breath support" on a theoretical and physical level which I can clearly see how it will help me improve and how I can actually put it in practice.

[@RaoniFrancoVideos]

Man, the pooping technique is genius. I´ve seen many teachers explaining how to engage the right muscles for singing but none is as clear as this. Thanks!

[@chrisliepe]

You're welcome!! Glad it helped!

[@WizardOfArc]

How do keep from actually pooping? 😮😮😮😮

[@chrisliepe]

haha... I've found that I need to make sure I've done my business before practicing powerful singing. Let's just leave it at that :) @@WizardOfArc

[@thematei]

LMAO :))

[@dynatwenty]

3:37 BEFORE. :D

[@pleasingannie467]

Great lesson! This is what vocal teachers are trying to construe when they say "sing from your diaphragm". Explaining how things are supposed to feel helps so much...awesome channel!

[@vegeta1885]

Yeah too bad most of them can't show or make you feel like he did. Ordering a student do nothing, because a beginner singer has no idea about anything.

[@Karettu]

Chris is Litterally giving info for free that costs heap of money with other teachers, this support thing changed my voice in instant

[@SP-mf9sh]

Thank you for being the best vocal teacher on the internet! I'm not kidding. Most people don't get into detail like you..they say "sing from your stomach" and I'm like how?? Tell us!

[@WSGtr12]

So far 19 people have actually shat themselves lol. Great video once again! :)

[@MultiBadboy666]

Oh, I think I finally get it now. So when we sing a phrase, the support muscles kind of dip, flex, and relax constantly to push the air upwards. I used to just constantly push air upwards without using those muscles like this; basically, I just locked them in place without those dips and blew a continuous stream of air always. It sounds much better and feels more natural like this. Thanks a lot.

[@humbellie7208]

Again I must thank you Chris, for 2 years now I’ve been working on vocals (even though I hate my own voice ) I finally got the courage to really let it hang on jam day and all I’ve heard is complainants, “you’ve really come a long way” “ that’s the best youve ever sounded” and it’s all because I found you and employed your teachings. Thank you brotha, keep up the good work

[@loganbarr9808]

I can’t express how thankful I am for this video. The sigh doesn’t explain the muscles properly and iv just been flexing my stomach, not my insides. Thank you thank you thank you

[@Bad_Phil]

Your vocal projections also remind me of Chris Daughtry at times!

[@paulmayer8654]

There name Chris and having a shaved head don't hurt that either lol

[@Chupacabramusic]

Those first takes in the booth sounded great man. The high notes on the brink of a crack but guarded sounded so good man

man, your videos are both funny and helpful, keep up the good work

[@mythsqueuemusic]

Been learning to sing seriously for almost a year and I just figured this out today, and alas I can sing freely it’s incredible ! On the right path finally

[@christopherhickman3579]

Chris Liepe has the biggest balls ⚽️ 🏀 🏈 making all these crazy embarrassing sounds and helping us all out

[@straighttalker3459]

Right? I love the laughing video. Cracked me up but very effective!

[@thefloatingpilot]

how can someone have three?

[@sethrenville798]

It's basically about working out all of the kinks in every possible bit of your focal range call my so that you don't ever accidentally make any of these weird noises period I actually learned something similar when I went through puberty, as because I was Not only a soloist inquire, but starting our very first shitty garage band, I was trying to figure out how to sing better, Which had the added benefit of making my voice sound a lot less like someone who, apparently, was just begging get his asked repeatedly.

[@garrettparker9369]

Best singing teacher by far. You get straight to the point and have no boundaries for vocal expression. I was watching Ken Tamplin for a minute and he was a good singer but he didn’t strike me as good as a teacher as you.

[@chrisliepe]

Thank you so much!

[@isynoptic1821]

Uhh, I just blew the back out of my shorts, nailed it😎 On a more serious note, love this video! After first discovering it, I could hear major improvements. But after a little while, I noticed I would slowly start reverting back to my old habits, unintentionally of corse. So I’m always having to come back and re-sync.. this vid is crucial

[@ApexofWar_]

Unbelievable what difference this makes. This probably just saved my voice for the long haul. And all the while giving more power & control from top to bottom.

[@jakehahn2457]

Chris your explanations of support are simply fantastic, man. You’ve taken an abstract term (support) - and through exercises - turned it into recognizable bodily sensations; AND put them into the context of musical exploration. Top notch, my man. Thanks!

[@creeksiderockmusic]

I definitely feel like we are family!! With the love you have for singing and the passion you have to give others all your wisdom is very much appreciated!! You just dont give a 1 min video. You are an inspiration to us all!! Thank You so much for your articulations Chris!!!

[@iammoog]

Dude - It's possible you've just changed my life by watching not even five minutes of your video. There's something about the way you imparted this info that just changed everything about the way I sing. I'm totally going to finish this vid and watch loads more of yours, but I've been busy preparing for a show I just had this past weekend. Usually after a 30 minute set, I'm fried and have burtn the top (and almost all) of my voice. Even though I came down with a cold on the day of my gig, I still got through the set and had barely hurt my voice at all. I was hitting higher notes I usually strain for after a couple of songs, right the way to the end of my set and was told by someone I trust that it's the best she's ever heard me sing. Usually, if I read what I've just written on a website, I'd completely dismiss it as a fake advert, but dude... THANK YOU. Can't wait to learn more.

[@WanderingWil]

13:21 to 14:21 is way better than a lot of recent music

I think 10:27 to 10:37 is better than a lot of recent music

[@petraccamusic]

dude your video saved my singing. I had so much tension in my throat when singing but this video completely changed how singing felt to me. thank you so much!!!

[@DeeQu8nT81]

Chris, I just found you several days ago. What a treasure it has been. In one of your videos, you advised against tilting your head up or down. But did you not tilt your head up in the beginning demo in this video? Was the mike placed too high? Please clarify for this newbie.

[@chrisliepe]

tilting your head to reach a pitch is a no no for sure. tilting to reach a mic, still probably not a great idea, but if it doesn't cause any tension... all good :)

[@GrzegorzWitkowski]

Just found your channel and watching you all day. Signed and have watched the Free Voice training already. You are really opening a whole new world for me. I used to "sing" many years ago, of course completely the wrong way not heaving any access to good materials back then and now just trying again to learn it the right way. You are a great educator and really pro. Fantastic channel, fantastic videos and content. Thank you very much.

[@AxonRiseMusic]

Man, your vocal power and control is some of the most insane I’ve heard! Would you be able to do a video on exercises for compression/cord closure in the future? I struggle with this and feel like the muscles responsible are weak as hell for me.

[@chrisliepe]

Great idea!

[@caioaugusto6074]

Just felt obligated to comment. After finding the right feeling to engage the lower abs, it feels like the air flows effortlessly and much more rich. The difference in singing a song I was already comfortable was unbelievable. Another songs are not that easy to make this transition, maybe because my brain is already used to the wrong way. Now the objective is to relearn how to talk and sing to always engage like this hahahaha. Chris Liepe, you are amazing!

[@YatiAcharya]

I've sent this to every person I've talked to about extreme singing, and I feel really good knowing that they'll find the same abilities as I did. You're the greatest, Chris. Thank you so much ❤️

[@chrisliepe]

Thanks for sharing it!

[@willhol4209]

Legend. Subscribed and signed up to free vocal course. I'm paying for one to one voice lessons and you sir have thought me technique I was not thought. A big Thank you.

[@chrisliepe]

You're welcome!

[@lymnellas]

This is the part wherein it's so unclear, I've seen lots of videos about this, but this one is the BEST ONE of ALL! Thanks Chris :D

[@darksidessj25]

I got a hang of diaphragm breathing but there was much more to it. I got a coach and I started leaning into the sound and feeling it. Believe me I felt it when I did. I just figured out where it was coming from and man... I just started laughing my ass off. You have to maintain focus there, but you know what that spot actual is in esoteric terms? It's Kundalini energy. I did meditations focusing on that. The energy literally rises naturally. I wish you all the best Chris. The right spot is no where near the voice. In fact the total opposite.

[@davewest2271]

Such a great, confident, comforting presence and teaching style. Thank you for this, I’ve been experiencing upper body tension while singing for a while, and that yawning/sticking the tongue while bearing down exercise is a great one to really get the feel! Much love ❤️

[@chrisliepe]

Wonderful!

[@MaciejLapinski]

That was my problem for a very long time! I’ve always let not enough air flow through me and with high notes i was getting tried very fast. Plus it makes my singing more clear! This is what solves the problems! Huge difference in feeling after doing this exercises before singing! Thank you so much!!

[@eclypse-bf7mx]

Love you man, your the only teacher on KZbin that can actually help me with my singing.👍

[@Hanh-Solo]

I tried this practice, I'm shaking and sweating 😂 It's going to work, just I need to practice more.

[@halliburton6262]

This is a great video no one ever talks about onset’s when discussing engaging the diaphragm!!

[@ambererdenechuluun8668]

This is genius! I've seen plenty of vocal coaches and done dozens of vocal exercises, but none of them are like this. Following Chris from now on. 👍

[@jeromemanyema9868]

you‘re a gem forreal!!

[@xiaodidi9618]

Excellent video, for months now I have been trying to understand how to support without straining and engaging the right muscles, this video saved me, thank you so much

[@MrArchie800]

Thanks! After watching your vids for one night you've explained things sooo much better than I've learned in months from the self-proclaimed 'professionals'. Breaking things down into analogous but normal bodily feelings makes it so much easier for beginners like myself to understand things like support, fry, head voice and compression etc. Nice one!

[@shivanshdubey2571]

It's called Kapalbhati in YOGA, What you are demonstrating. Many breathing Yogas help a lot in singing.

[@Rosannasfriend]

There have been other KZbin vocal coach reactors who say squatting is a good pose, or kind of bending forward. None of them have ever bothered explaining why. Thank you.

[@Wil_rosso]

Well, you helped me to realize I can sing powerfully without tension O_o didn't connect the dots yet. thanks! 🙏 This helps with being able to do it at will though xd

[@johnchaketago2001]

just discovered your channel. I'm been singing a long time but needed a lot more work on my basics! best channel by far :)

[@chrisliepe]

Right on! :)

[@MegaZackRyder]

Chris, I’ve loved your videos so far. As a beginner, your content makes sense and I appreciate how much I’ve learned about my voice through you. Would you consider making a video on Jonny Craig’s singing? He is known for a raspy belting sound. Would love your take on it. Oh, and achieving vibratos would be amazing too. Thanks a lot! - Dean

More power - more quality of the sound you sing , amazing .

chris!!! i am the biggest fan of your videos and i would love if you could talk about kevin parker, especially the song be above it, i dont know if its the production of the song but i get confused if he is singing head voice or mixed voice because the notes are really high!

[@lyricvideos-musicwithlyric4015]

Chris what I noticed in this video: You said (1) First Push Out like you are pooping (2) Relax, and your stomach comes out (3) Engage your poop muscles,--push in while making a sound.....seems pretty simple. --- What I noticed in #2 above is you did not use the word inhale, nor did you do the typical inhale of pushing your stomach out as I've seen in so many other videos. Instead, you just relaxed and let the stomach come out naturally. In other words, this relaxing replaced the typical inhale function. IS THIS RIGHT?

[@chrisliepe]

Yes, absolutely right. Everyone tends to overthink this so much. Just breathe :) !! haha... Just take in air and then focus your energy DOWN. The stomach out, the rig cage expansion... all that stuff just adds tension to the process cause we're not thinking about abandoning into our voice!

[@teebone420]

this is really helpfull!

[@subirshrestha]

I will try this and update if i shit my pants or open up my voice with Power.
