The #1 Singing Cheat Code - With Celebrity Vocal Coach Stevie Mackey

[@jcal4458]

That second Celine high note was crazy. Gave me chills. 😲🔥

[@beepboop7041]

Same omg I put my hand on my chest when he started singing Celine ❤

[@agisnon]

I have huge respect for this guy. He is such talented vocalist and artist and I love that the way he imparts knowledge from his personal experience is so down-to-earth and relatable.

[@Studio]

Very glad to hear this!

[@throughmoseye]

The Mickey Mouse mimic was wild🤣🤣 too good

[@Gangstar41145]

Holy. I was skeptical at first but damn this dude has a tremendous gift. O.O

[@Studio]

He's amazing!

[@castrosacasa]

You cannot be a singer if you can't copy sounds! He is 100% correct! This dude is singing one of the highest notes Celine Dion did as I type this... holy shit!

[@uaintseememaaan8901]

He killed it 😮😮😮😮

[@SomaSensing]

OMW!! You are the first vocal coach that makes sense. Mimicking sound. It's exactly how I started singing. Thank you for sharing.

[@Studio]

You're welcome!

[@ArcticKid68]

Absolutely spot on!!! First person I’ve seen to actually explain mimicking in a positive light. Been doing it since grade school with singing, sound effects, etc and I’m in my 50’s now. So, basically I hide behind the ‘windshield audience as a result. This vid was such a breath of fresh air! THANK YOU S. Mackey!!!

[@lo_rezzz]

I really love this philosophy around singing

[@WhiteCr_0w]

watching this I realised how patient singers are. You can't annoy them with sounds 🤣

[@mholmboy]

How is this guy not famous himself!?

[@MrZZsharka]

Probably doesn’t particularly want to be. Could have gone on countless platforms to show what he does but didn’t. He’s probably so good at teaching and getting results that people find him through word of mouth.

[@kerri7777]

So true.

[@AthensTheOfficial]

He's famous to musicians haha

[@IWALY-ot7hv]

He is❤

[@rasamasala]

Mimicry was the first thing I discovered on my own when I started my singing journey. It's true that I learned to understand my voice the fastest that way. What he doesn't really say is that by copying someone who is good at singing, it teaches you control of your voice and shows you new ways to move your voice and trains your ear to actually listen.

[@ADTHYM]

this KZbin channel is a huge blessing

[@Studio]

Thanks so much!

[@samuelaseolas]

I triple this sentiment@@Studio

[@DavidDiMuzio]

Great tips, and awesome singer!!

[@idankoos4156]

To me, the key to find your style is mimic...I tell this to all of my singing students...in combination with speech therapy knowledge....singing teachers are like good stylists...it is just style advice, what suits your voice best ( in aa healthy way) together with the student's interest...every singer and style is like learning a new language in placement, phrasing etc

[@User59419]

Very cool interpretation and accurate

[@Lovect18]

Stevie is so spot on. It’s from mimicking that you’re able to master sounds & techniques but more importantly discover your own voice. Stevie gets to the point & gives you insight that most vocal coaches don’t share. Yep, I’m a fan & have taken both of his classes!🙌🏽♥️🎶👍🏽

[@alexxdaye1]

As a vocal coach, HE IS 100% SPOT ON! This is the gospel, literally! Love Stevie Mackey! Much love and mad respect!!! I did all the same annoying stuff too as a kid, LOL!!!

[@IshimwePelerin]

I’m not only learning valuable information, but I’m also being entertained! Such a great talent 👏🏼👏🏼

[@therealmugaba7487]

Great knowledge existing free on the internet. Thank you for sharing🙏🏾❤️

[@Studio]

Thanks for watching!

[@janebakkensings]

Thank you! You are truly a gift. Two things really resonated. One - from early on, I began learning to sing by listening for hours and copying other singers long before any vocal training. An explorer/adventurer by nature, I knew my body was the instrument. Every coach brought value. Often the lesson was finding my way back to listening to my body. Two - I LOVE your encouragement to listen to the body...trusting it. I remember learning to ski with a friend. While riding up chair lift, he asked, 'What's the worst thing that could happen?' I said, 'I'd die!'. He said, 'Well, that's not going to happen today..so here's what you're going to do. Just follow me and mimic everything I do.' I did, trusted it, and skiied like never before. Something I'm reminding myself when continuing to explore sound moving through me...and out. Always exploring! Thank you -

[@_JamesMaybe_]

I can vouch for this, mimicking vocals in singing/rapping styles from Americans was how I started as a British kid. However, it can give you a distorted mindset if you're not self-aware. It took me until my late 20's to realise that my vocal range is deeper than the standard range I use it in. Despite being able to falsetto Jackson 5's "Who's Lovin' You", I found out that I'm a Baritone and not a Tenor.

[@BowPromise]

This is gold. And three minutes in, Stevie's facial expressions and way of speaking reminded me of MJ. Glad to see how he used him as an example.

[@AJ_Drago]

Love and respect to STEVIE MACKEY, These are some incredible valuable lessons. It's gonna change my life.♥️🤟

[@porshaessence]

As a natural born Beyhiver. I grew up mimicking Beyoncé’s runs and harmonies and belts. So much so I’ve gotten to the point where I feel like I have use my voice almost like an instrument like she does. I really want to build on that and go to vocal class

[@joseph_k_music]

wow, this is .... special. Pure understanding of how singing works. Good that we have so much "legends" to mimic from.

[@makinmusicmon]

14:10 what he said was so true, My daughter always asks me for advice on how to sing or if her voice sounds good. I don't think that I can sing but sometimes I'm able to help her with where the voice is coming from. Like if it's coming from the chest or the stomach or the nose or the throat.

[@makinmusicmon]

PS - Just to add my daughter is very good at mimicking voices like from her favourite TV shows and stuff. 😂

[@Hitori_FtoL]

One of the most important things I've heard about singing, thank you!

[@Studio]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TheRussianGenius]

This amazing. Getting the insight, and some very good pointers. Thank you Stevie, and Studio! I wonder what the rates are for Stevie Mackey, would be such a superb teacher to ones in a while get a session with

[@Alvinfly]

Def should be a video on clarity control. The things youre doing is mimicking but when people want to do it at home home theres a ton of issues that they can run into that is not present in this video

[@mockmywords]

YOOOOOOO Stevie mimicing is crazy!

[@TommyElmz]

As a artist my self that’s stepping into singing. This has been a huge help. What a talented man ❤

[@dakotadellafera5850]

Love you, Stevie!!! Honestly, amazing video! I mean the improvement you made with the female student was incredible.

[@Jackeesh]

This is the best channel about music on the whole KZbin

[@empowerment.artist]

I learned so much from mimicking. I am lucky to have power and range, but control, riffs, runs and holding a note++ I learned from copying, and it's like a fun game. I feel validated, because I never heard anybody say this before, but of course we learn lots of techniques from this. And singing with someone who's as good or better makes me better in the moment, like pure magic. It's inspirational.

[@jasmine3655]

Yes jungkook from bts is amazing at mimicking everyone and everything literally like cartoons, sounds in the environment etc etc and he is an absolutely amazing singer!! Its helped him be able to sing in english and reproduce very spot on pronunciation . He even talks about the mimicking in various interviews and lives hes done. He has refined his listening skills in a very similar style to you💜💜💜💜

[@ShehzaadMusic]

Half ladies singer

[@abbyncanarias5954]

💓💓💓💓💓💓 I VE GOT HOMEWORKS YESSSSSS (so many time surching in me....and forgetting the capacity of work in many directions by mimicking others) TY SO MUCH!!!

[@brechtderooms2076]

When I read "Celebrity Vocal Coach" I have to admit that my first reaction is "mmmhhhhmmm". But during the video that mindset is quickly changed to: "this is useful", "he acts very down to earth" to "clearly a good coach who can sing himself and intelligently pass on his knowledge". 👍

[@hiyou8823]

i am almost 40, and have been a mimic singer for my idols and i noticed i practice more on that and i did so as a hobby, it's true that it gives you a "perk" to be able to sing somewhat close to the original, but in doing so i forgot and lost practice on my own voice and in doing so lost the thrive to continue, so don't do what i did, keep practicing your own voice because it may seem like the perk let's in some sort of "cheat mode" but also effects the basics of singing, a great example of that is beatboxing when before one delves enough in the basics which is "boots n cats" without out-warding the sounds for it to sound like a drum kit, they go straight for the base throat or any advance technic for that matter, i can sing but not as good as i need to be by now, but i don't stress it because it still remains as a hobby of mine, but if you want to be serious keep practicing your own voice 1st but have no doubt in your abilities just like @studio has mentioned, your biggest limiter is you.

[@vikkizza]

absolutely fabulous vocal coach! what a gem!!!

[@bedroomrecital]

Never put words to it like this, but this is great. Mimicking is how I learned, too. It's essentially the intuitive study of a voice

[@xaminebeats3689]

This guy is the truth 🙌

[@michaelcampbell1740]

Stevie...my goodness you are blowing me away with mimicking...so on point!!

[@Thebestsnacks]

Wow. Those impressions were so on point! Subbed just for that

Very nice lesson. I lost some vocal ability due to sickness and I'm slowly regaining it. This strategy will surely help to exercise my voice in ways I never knew how.

[@Studio]

Amazing, glad it helps!

[@dayuwaisly03]

What a wholesome vocal coach.

[@introspectivep]

Stevie just makes sense when explaining

[@JorgeSantos-cj8lt]

This Man is such an Amazing teacher🙌🏽

[@iconoclastic-fantastic]

Mimicking my favorite artists is such an invaluable tool to figure out what your voice can really do. Hayley Williams is a big one for me, helped me transform my belt

[@AntonioTonyNewtonMusic]

Awesome vocal coach and vocalist.

[@Studio]

Thank you!

[@darylabel6737]

"Sound bank" First time to hear this. Very intelligent

[@yoyoflair]

Steve's talent is Divine and is so down to Earth. We are truly blessed to see his approach. What a phenomenal talent for this planet to benefit from. Thank you!

[@TroX30540]

Oh crap mimicking the bells and everything just reminded me that I'm doing this shit all the time. The bip when the microwave is stopping, the coffee machine, everything really lmao !

[@tabeebyeamin9986]

Wow, this video makes so much sense to me and makes me realize why singing came naturally to me since I was young. I practiced using different voices and later being taught to recite Arabic I'm sure helped a lot too. I found that I always made the biggest breakthroughs in singing better when I tried to mimic an artist like Michael Jackson, Billie Joe Armstrong, keshi or GIVEON down to the syllables and doing that made me have those tools naturally when I'm singing other songs. I always felt like I wanted vocal lessons but I didn't know what exactly to work on. I'd just search on KZbin for exercises and stuff and hope that it would somehow make me better. This video was very validating for me and I think it makes me want to dedicate "mimicking" into my vocal practice, always seemed like a natural and fun thing to do anyway.

[@MJ13ish]

Thank you for this. I am a polyglot (someone that speaks multiple languages). The mockingbird is the ultimate copycat, and part of its latin name is poliglotis. I have been able to copy and mimic sounds, including the sounds of other singers. It always felt like i was not finding "my voice." Now, i can let go of decades of feeling less of a singer.

[@Ryaquel]

Nice!! So much talent!! You can do voiceovers dubbing for cartoons and animation movies as well!!

[@igormota2373]

Holy freaking shite, Steve is such a TALENT both singing and coaching!

[@saraojut4697]

I have so much from this video than all my years in a choir. This explains so much about my journey thus far in music and I’m excited to start mimicking.

[@maryclebeau]

For my whole life up to this point I have always had the desire to learn to sing, I was very little when I would sing at the top of my lungs, my mom told me I was about 6 or 7 years old. I sang at my wedding in 1977. I took voice lessons for a little while from 2 different teachers. But, I got discouraged. I don’t think they were really good teachers. But, I am hoping one day, I will get to learn to sing 🎶 😮 this has been a very awesome video! I thank you. 😊

[@froggybug]

I thought this was a joke until he sang “my heart will go on” RESPECT!!!

[@Minunmaani]

I am not a singer, but I sing to feel, the resonance, I like the feeling.

[@AWSKAR]

Interesting. I remember hearing stories of MJ prank calling people and playing with different voices on the phone. Hillarious. Another MJ thing I remember, is certain recordings of him his breaths become part of the song

[@ELFTHESAILORBOY]

I used to hum along to the vacuum cleaner and match the tone This video reminds me of something fundamental I’m trying to access so I can sing like I always dreamed Except I for song and haven’t sung for a single soul

Wow !! This is Genius !! What a brilliant approach. !! i'm in ...Thanks for your inspiration Stevie !! ... Best Wishes RodGold :). Every Success to You Sir,,,

[@sebarm9671]

STEVIE IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!

[@Studio]

He is!!

[@OJA1965]

It helps to have the vocal range you have. I'm not a singer, but I do sing a few songs, and mimicking is all I can do. If you can imitate Elvis, try tightening it up, raise the pitch and put it in your nose. Now Sing Every Rose Has Its Thorn.

[@hoodoosmusik]

That’s the Suzuki methodology. Nice perspective.

I always wondered how Chris Martin from Coldplay with his unique voice has managed to also develop so much control and modulate so well these days, including hitting high notes consistently concert after concert. Sounding just like he is in the studio these days. Could be thanks to this vocal coach!

At the end he’s trying to teach soul she’s used to trying to hit the correct note n enunciate. That grit n off note is the feel / soul . It’s what gives the emotion to the lyrics

He is so inspiring!! I love him!! ✨️

[@beristainbear3924]

I can mimic a lot of these noises almost perfectly. My ear just sucks, I have that middle in-between he was talking about and always mimicked, but I'm one of the slowest to progress when it comes to singing, but im still trying and Im finally understand after 5 years lol. It always interested me why I could hit the mimics but never actually elongate or translate them to singing.

[@sjoo8]

I’m honestly glad I wasn’t the only one thinking it… like… that’s not a selling point. If anything it shows she really isn’t into being a serious vocalist because… it’s definitely not the teacher. I’ve been singing since childhood, but if I could do the work to learn from someone as great as him?! I’d be showing up doing the work as often as he deemed necessary and then some. Got the best resource but doesn’t care about the craft smh.
