Vocal Coach Reacts | Lowlife | Deadweight

[@rheesepeters8065]

Hey man, what you do is really awesome, you seem to know your stuff and you were right about my lows! I do no vocal fry at all though, everything I do is all false - the highs are belted and pushed out very loud. The faster I make my vocal folds vibrate the cleaner sound I get in the scream, plus controlling the air by pushing it up into my nasal cavity for the extra high ones! I know a lot of people think I do fry so I wanted to comment and clear that up, I'm all about power in my vocals. Keep this up man you just got a new sub!

[@inFiniteTraCer]

Thank you for the extra input. We all appreciate it a ton. Love your tunes man. Please pin this!

[@Smithysmithin]

Dude. Your work on A Night In Texas is forever one of my favorite deathcore sounds. Your vocals are amazing. Everything is perfect on The God Delusion, basically my favorite deathcore album. I'm sad I haven't kept up with your other stuff. Just needed to tell you this lol. I found that album at the start of my deathcore discovery and not much has topped it.

[@Smithysmithin]

Also, River of Pain is my favorite song and the outro especially is fucking God(less) tier :)

LILlepreKON omg yes

[@threed971]

Yes but he’d need like 3 hours to talk about it

[@TheGloriousNosebleed]

I think he'd have a great time breaking down that one. Amazing track.

[@anthonywiggins5544]

That wouldn't actually be too hard. The song itself is divided into 4 sections already so 4 videos could be done reviewing the song and it would be rather manageable.

Anyone who underrated Dan Watson is a chump. Dude has some seriously dope vocals. Such a unique and recognizable sounding delivery.

[@chrisrobert954]

Agreed. Dan Watson has a signature sound that is IMMEDIATELY recognizable in the deathcore scene.

[@AlexKerski]

30:20 fun fact: i once had a lesson with cj and the reason for his „roar“ is that his voice is very deep and super resonant. when he was laughig i‘d feel the vibrations on the case i was sitting lol. hes also reaaaally loud, even when he uses a tiny bit of distortion.

[@AlexKerski]

@Stephen j i ment his singing voice, so my bad (his talking voice really isnt that deep).

@Stephen j he talks pretty deep in all their live performances but that might just be a stage thing

That was such a sick track of pure talent. Your breakdown was phenomenal and I’m learning a lot of techniques from you. Side note: Acrania - Auctioneer of Depravity is my choice for a breakdown. That track is sick, but it is a little older. Luke Griffin is intense.

It's interesting what you say about CJ from TAIM, I've always founds his vocals kinda dull but I never thought about the fact they've got a roar sound than the gurgling.

[@KardavoxAcademy]

Yeah, compared to other vocalists he's not all over the spectrum, but there's something to be said about the more minimal approach to vocals. Aegaeon is a great example.

[@The-Esoteric-One]

There's a recent live video of them on youtube where he used a lot more of his range, it's great

[@TeddyCat2007]

For the ments Can you put a link to that video

[@The-Esoteric-One]

Dark Helm 36 actually the video was made private, it was at summerbreeze I think.

[@neurosisxeno]

Yea TAIM is really unusual. Their recorded stuff is CJ kind of sticking to mids and lows, but when you see them live he actually has really good range. I saw them a few months back and he was sick but still sounded excellent. Great band live, okay band recorded.

[@BigBeter]

Love your videos man, since you did this song with multiple vocalists which is fucking insane, definitely check out behold the kingdom of the wretched undying by Infant Annihilator, it should definitely be interesting to check out too

Yep! Truth be told prior to this channel I didn't listen to a whole lot of deathcore, so I've been introduced to a lot of deathcore vocalists while doing these videos. I'd not really listened to a lot of Lorna Shore either prior to my death portrait reaction, haha. Most of my metal interest prior to Kardavox Academy was Black Metal, Bands like Fallujah and Rivers of Nihil, Older Opeth, etc.

[@jmanwild87]

ok so firstly great video. you are the first vocal coach I've seen consistently react to videos on metal with harsh vocals so props for that. secondly my inexperience is probably showing since I tend to dislike songs that purely use harsh vocals compared to clean. unless the instrumentation is the primary focus. (a la Archspire) but how would you define good harsh vocals (or at least well performed in terms of technique). compared to those considered bad? My first example would be Tommy Giles Rogers Jr. of between the buried and me. who's harsh vocals are generally considered the weaker parts of his vocal kit (and considering he has been doing less and less of it if memory serves) compared to his sometimes soaring cleans.

[@gergoistvanolah4006]

You should check out Deviloof. They are a japanese visual-kei band, and they're brutal as hell. And their vocalist can do really sick shit. I recommend their song, Ishtar, or Torture, Ruin, Escape (there's a really sick vocal transition that I can't get behind). Or any of their heavier songs (because they have lighter ones). I would really like to hear your thoughts about them. :)
