TALLAH | OVERCONFIDENCE (LIVE STUDIO VIDEO) | VOCAL COACH REACTION AND ANALYSIS

[@Tallah]

Hey, this is Justin! Awesome video, man! It was really cool to have a fellow vocal coach analyze my techniques and voice. If you ever get some free time, we should do a video chat! I would love to pick your brain about certain techniques, and I bet we could learn a ton from each other! Thanks for the support! You rock :D

[@Tallah]

Also, I should add, this performance was the fourteenth take! I kept screwing up the lyrics and having to start over. If there is one thing I take a lot of pride in, it is my vocal endurance. I can typically sing/scream for hours before I fatigue. When I live stream on my Hungry Lights and Hungry Covers channels, I am usually doing vocals for 6-14 hours at a time-always making sure to stay hydrated and take a few days off after that. But seriously, I would love to pick your brain sometime and talk about different techniques! I think the way I achieve my exhale, low, guttural tone and pig squeals would really blow your mind!

Justin says it in his vocal psa. It looks like he is pushing himself in that, because he is giving a performance. He is intentionally doing that.

Smth to take into consideration is that Justin is a performer by core and he adds pressure in his head to make it all look nutty. He said it doesn't affect his vocals and that it's purely a cosmetic feat to make it look entertaining

Yeeesss been waiting for Tallah! Justin, the vocalist is actually insane (both in terms of skill and his performance on stage/in Videos), i highly recommend watching/analysing the vocal one-take of "Red Light" , its by far the most thematically fitting and therefore crazy performance and his high screams will actually steal your soul

[@evanblake5252]

Justin just gets more insane and more impressive the more you see. Consistently does the opposite of disappointing.

[@carsonblaylock1789]

Yeeesss. Please do red light

[@davonerhon7203]

Of course we need that

[@jackrice4064]

Definitely think Tallah is bigger than just new nu metal. Kinda is a little upsetting too because the comments on their videos are all like "Wow this is like Korn and Slipknot had a baby" which I personally disagree with because it's so original and unique in terms of style

[@jck1794]

it's not really that out of bounds to compare them to koRn, there are a BUNCH of similarities stylistically in a lot of their songs.

[@trottingfoxinc]

I mean...I both really feel where you're coming from but also disagree tbh. They really wear their Slipknot, Korn, and Deftones influences proudly on their shoulders so it's kinda hard to argue they don't come from that place. At the same time tho, it's hard to say anyone has done anything nearly as creative with those respective sounds as Tallah has, and the result of it is something far greater, more unique, and more creative than the sum of its parts. It's beyond Nu-metal, agreed, but it couldn't exist without it.

[@jesusavalos2399]

In their description they say it's a blend of Nu-Metal and modern Hardcore like Code Orange and Vein which I definitely think is an accurate description, Justin also brings a uniqueness with his vocal composition

[@kingdomoftyrants9844]

Definitely nu metal vibes, but there is more for sure. They call themselves Nu- Core. Either way great band, great video, been a fan of Justin since like 2013 nice to see him (and tallah) blowing up!

[@kgvilhelmssonq763]

What I really like with Justins voice and especially his lows are that even tho they are deep, you can hear that he is really doing it in a safe way.

Justin has rapidly become my favorite metal vocalist in a loooooong time! No doubt, I really love how you can feel his emotion very blatently. Like even some covers, like KoRns thoughtless, that song is top 5 for me from KoRn, and when you watch him perform that song, it feels like he lived that life Jon was portraying. Fucking sick, I am very exited for metal and rock, if its going this way.

[@witeshade]

Would it be possible for you to make a "vocal lessons pre-101" video? Something that shows really rough, simple techniques and terms to help someone who is starting at absolutely zero form some kind of baseline so that if they wanted to start lessons with you, the lessons can begin from a place of knowledge rather than learning basic words and entry level warmups? That might be kind of neat!

[@KardavoxAcademy]

That's a cool idea, Daniel! I will definitely consider it, as there is a lot that could be covered, however, I've had many beginner students in my classroom, and it's not a problem at all. In fact, sometimes it's great to get someone at the very start where they can learn everything properly and build a strong foundation rather than having to spend the first few lessons unlearning previously integrated bad behaviours. If you want to talk more about lessons, feel free to drop me an email on [e-mail]. Thanks!

[@aawells07]

Lmao. I got a good chuckle out of the "this guy is a nut and I mean that respectfully" cause I know exactly what you mean and why he's a natural front man for a band. Ive watched him off and on over the years and always knew he'd be a fantastic metal singer. It takes someone like him to be a force on the stage. I remember seeing Motograter (Ivan Moody's previous band) live at an Ozzfest (IIRC) and Ivan just looking vicious on stage as he was muscular and his presence on stage was contagious. I think Justin has that spark as well cause he's very animated. A long time ago I saw this local band (Blind Judgement) playing at some small bar type place and the lead singer was absolutely crazy as he was all over the place and doing flips and purposely landing on his stomach (it was a controlled fall) and it was just wild to watch. They were very heavy and had they stayed together they definitely would've made it big.

[@briarhaven01]

Tallah are so fucking badass, and they are so much more than just "nu metal". The whole band is insanely talented and I cant wait to see how they grow together

[@evanblake5252]

One thing I will clarify is some of Justin's vocal videos are one takes but for the Overconfidence video he actually did 14 takes I believe. He was forgetting lyrics and having some other small issues before he got one he was happy with.

[@laurenricketts8820]

There is definitely the nu metalcore scene with bands as Alpha Wolf, Diamond Construct, and Dealer. That sound has been really relevant in the past few years.

[@Blaqsailens]

I 100% agree that they're more than just new metal. I hear hints of hardcore like Code Orange, frenetic rhythms akin to Dillinger, weird, crazy vocal styles reminiscent of Mr. Bungle, and a plethora of other influences that are too many to name. It feels kind of sad when people only compare them to nu-metal bands.

[@Blaqsailens]

@✪Hidden Oh no doubt they have a lot of nu-metal influence, but I'm specifically talking about the people that say stuff like this is just like korn/slipknot/limp bizkit/etc. There's so much going on in their music that it's kind of sad when people boil it down to "they sound just like Slipknot".

I was going to tell you to react to Andy Cizek and Joshua Travis's "Gouge," but I see you already reacted to his other project Termina with Nik Nocturnal! I got to say that I loved the way you broke this down! The only experience I have with singing is through middle and high school choir and karaokeing in my basement while doing schoolwork and I need to watch more of your videos wow I can definitely learn a thing or two. You should check out anything by Daniel Tompkins from TesseracT if you hadn't already. I'd say their Odyssey/Scala performance is the best live performace they've done that I heard. They had a "live in quarentine" video a few months ago too. Its too long to do a short reaction video but Tompkins has done tons of induvidual song one-takes on his channel, for his other bands too like Skyharbor.
