ABOUT…
I am Rebecca and I am one heck of a passionate vocal coach/singer/songwriter/impressionist/health/fitness/self- improvement/anything that makes me smile!! I love anything vocal/singing related and geek out on it every day. I want to motivate and inspire others to follow their dreams…corny? Well maybe but it’s true. So what’s motivating me?? I had a huge tumour removed summer 2017 and my ovaries and fallopian tubes. The tumour was the size of a 20 week baby!! However, despite not being able to walk for a couple of weeks, and feeling generally awful…. It has made me create and do what I love! It wasn’t an easy time but I won’t let fear dictate my life. I didn’t think ‘why me’, there are plenty of horrific issues people have to deal with…it’s not always smooth sailing. It’s true when you hear, ‘Life is short’, the crazy thing is, I am glad it happened…I appreciate life even more and practice gratitude everyday…It’s so easy to get caught up with the little things…and I do sometimes, but look at the bigger picture, will it matter in a year or two…?
Also thank you for all your support. It means a lot.

First i thought a vocal reaction on devin townsend ? really ? i really forgot how awesome he was on sex & religion, time flies very fast :D. and somehow i lost sight of him because i couldnt get warm with the strapping young lad and ocean machine stuff not that it was bad but i dont liked the sound at all it was so washy so it was hard to follow the whole stuff that was going on. maybe time to check his latest stuff again.

[@erra7552]

@@hectorglobal2922 Venues are great. But, they're hardly a measuring stick for all-time recognition. And, okay, cool. Some youtubers have noticed him. But what we don't see is more recognition for his work, higher placements on festivals, more of a push or buzz during his music is dropping. etc. And, for all that he gets right now, it's not proportional to the talent he has. One of the best guitarists going. With a vocal range that most other metal singers can dream of. He has more, and does more than a lot of other talents out there. But he's not talked about as much. That's my point. That's him being underrated.

[@xneurianx]

The amazing thing about Devin as a musician is how much he understands TONE as well as melody, harmony and structure. His grasp of the quality of sound he is producing is incredible. He's this great secret the extreme metal scene has been keeping for decades who's finally getting the credit he deserves as an abolutely mind-blowing musician.

Still fantastic and amazing!

He is such a beautiful performer, He is a powerhouse of pure emotion, passion, layers and depths and have a phenomenal talent and technique, and he is extremely sexy I too think... The whole band is so tight and cohesive and clean. LOVE DEVIN. What a privilage to listen to such Devine music in our lifetime.

[@Sabre_Wulf1]

Devin at his best, and a brilliant live show from royal albert hall. and a new album on the way...ohhhhhh yes

[@theris117]

I also loved march of the poozers from this performance. The showmanship, and his sense of humor perfectly translated into the visuals.

[@Derntootin]

Waking up to a video of Rebecca reacting to Devin? My day has been made! 😄💗

[@sammibedford986]

I love your reactions! Every time I've seen Devin live I end up bawling like a baby due to the power and emotions of his vocals

[@silirat]

Can't wait for you to hear 'Why?' from Devin's new album 'Empath'. 'Available in stores now!*' (* = if now was tomorrow.)

[@Neverheat]

that is a gorgeous song. not the best album, but why? is beautiful.

[@rog2224]

Is there a live version?

[@Neverheat]

@@rog2224 havent seen yet. but the album came out on friday, so give it time :)

[@silirat]

@@rog2224 Not yet. Just got release on Friday.

[@mathewlombardo3876]

why tho

[@muriloninja]

Seriously, you are one of the best vocal coaches that have articulated Devy's techniques...he is so dynamic and while he can effortlessly switch from clean to distorted vocal, the key is in his technique and his actual vocal chords not being strained or burned out at all due to his technical abilities. I'm not a vocal coach but as a musician for me he keeps alot of his distortion off the back of his throat and more to the top of his mouth, hard for me to explain but you did a great job because Devy is so unique and diverse its hard to explain what he does.

[@rowanthefirst148]

Devin makes those faces and provokes so much emotion through his music because he suffers from things most people won't have to understand, sees the world differently and tells all who are listening. I'm diagnosed High Functioning Autistic and have been a HUGE fan of SYL and DT since I was a teenager in the 90's because his journey and suffering through music spoke to me more than others who yelled MUCH louder. Ma'am, your reaction to Devin was how anyone who has ears and a soul should react. ;) This was your first video I've had the pleasure of watching and the fact that you are willing to expose yourself to new music is beautiful, there are others like Devin but none LIKE DEVIN. Thank you to all who read this. ;)

[@thepassenger6499]

Thank you for speaking my mind! :)

[@AshThePhoenix.]

Sniff...😢beautiful.

[@Microdave75]

I also have autism and I can totally get where you're coming from, this is the first time hearing this guy tbh but I was lost in pearl jam and chris cornell and Alice in chains, without these bands in my life as a teenager I'd not be here now that's for sure

[@KingTabor]

Great statement you did

[@westcoastbrotha]

Well written friend. I could not agree more with you. I’ve only ever been able to relate to those who have really been through things. This song gives me goosebumps every time and even has the power to bring me to tears because I feel that passion so much from him. All too often I hear people tell me things like “I’m too passionate,” with my own music so I appreciate reading comment like yours and always getting to listen to Devin whether it’s DT or SYL. Cheers friend.

[@DasJo]

10:28 The moment your brain turns itself inside out! I don't want to spam, but it's absolutely amazing, and partly funny, to watch people reacting to metalbands, when thats not their comforting genre. It chills me, because I quiet lost the feeling for the power of this music and it is somekind of redemptive to see people reacting your way. This gives me back the emotion for this music. Devin Townsend is a unique artist in every kind of way and listening to his music is eargasmic. Seeing your reaction to his music gives me also another look to the world of singing, because I always played an instrument and later singing background while playing. I always understood the heaviness of making music, as a musician especially an instrumentalist, but the world of singing kept closed to me... since now. So thank you.

[@davesmith7671]

Yay more devy. Also yay more Rebecca!! :D

[@Not_Harvard]

5:21 I absolutely love how in your videos you will reach over to pause the clip and then something happens that makes you hold off for a moment. Love your reactions to these incredible songs. Glad I found your channel.

[@TheHookBoy]

It’s stupid but I’m in the double digits of watching this reaction. Devin is an amazing artist and I saw him live years ago, but the emotions it pulled out of you and your entire reaction was something I found even more amazing. Seeing someone completely surrender to the music is something that can outshine the most amazing performances.

[@brazzzzz]

Same

[@ferox965]

Same here. The lady gets it.

[@Neverheat]

10:22 the exact moment when music hits through you. Happened to me too.

[@alistaircc3274]

Lolol

[@becky7854]

Omg why have i never heard of this band before???? Yay Thankyou for this video! I love finding new music to listen to, especially metal!!

[@ThomasTallant]

It would not be hard to recommend a bunch to you! Start with Kingdom, Failure, Supercrush, Grace, Bend it like Bender

[@rudowakening3638]

Devin is AMAZING. From Strapping Young Lad to Ocean Machine to his solo albums to DTP it’s all great

[@WalkingTheLonelyPath]

Too bad he's solo off the DTP now. He's still good. Do see him if you can

[@purple_rose7477]

I've loved Devin Townsend for more than 15 years and everything he does is pure gold. Strapping Young Lad, Devin Townsend Band, Devin Townsend Project, solo material incl. Ziltoid. Check it all out. The man is a musical genius and he's sitting on a gold mine of superb music.

[@becky7854]

@@purple_rose7477 Thanks for ur comment! Gah i still come back to this live version of this song and it just so fkn perfect... Esp his vocals at around 6:30 onward...his crescendo is MAD.. His control is so so so so out of this world. Never heard vocals like that in any other metal before..any in any of the sub genres. Maynard is amazing though of course.... But man dude that part gives me total euphoria every time literal head falls back eyes close and a smile as wide as they come...its moments like that, that make me so so in love with what music can really do for the soul.

[@acgm046]

I think the pinnacle of Dev's emotion and vocal prowess is found even more epically in the series of songs Funeral/Bastard/Death of Music from RAB as well. That stuff moved me and gave me chills, man. Absolutely overwhelming. Devin is an extraordinary human being. One of the few that make me proud of my species.

[@CR3271]

11:33 Passion is exactly the word I would use. He pours his soul into everything he does.

[@ingovonderluhe2174]

See THE DEATH OF MUSIC from the same Concert....NOTHING more to say !

[@beenmicrophone5817]

haha u did the same to me from her last video... now i guess im on to the next one😂😂

"I need a cigarette break, and I dont smoke" HAHAHA. This is one of the greatest live performance in the world.

[@theraxis]

Good, finally an appropriate reaction to Devin - staring at the screen in open-mouthed shock.

[@calamity075]

I love how you aprreciate the music apart from the singing, a lot of people miss that

[@Elmonator]

I would really, really love to hear your opinion on The Death of Music, live at the Royal Albert Hall. To me that song has the most passion and emotion in a voice that I have EVER heard.

[@pavelsafarik5274]

As a drummer I love your air drumming! Great reaction! May I suggest some great music: EPICA - Consign To Oblivion - Live at the Zenith, OPETH - Deliverance (LIVE AT RED ROCKS AMPHITHEATRE) AMORPHIS - The Bee (OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO)

[@raymondzweigberg]

Deadheading is when an airlinepilot commute to the next job as a regular passenger. The song is about a musician deadheading to the next gig and argues with his woman on the phone.

[@Asherif9]

Oh dear god this is officially my favorite Chanel on KZbin now love you Rebbeca!! Please please do “funeral” from EMGtv acoustic version a new taste of Devi !

[@ThalesPosella]

05:33 I cracked at "I need a cigarette break and I don't smoke"! 😅 We feel you!

[@LeviathanMorberos]

A true headbanger. This song embodies all that is metal. Great vocals, awesome lyrics, terrific riffs and an amazing atmosphere.

[@devinmichael905]

Currently, Devin has the widest vocal range in rock music. He and Mike Patton are very close in range.

[@LaMortDeLaMusique]

I think Mike edges it with over 6 octaves. Devin's not quite over the 6 octave threshold unfortunately, but it's close.

[@maxreinsch6138]

Both are my favourite vocalists. True genius.

[@Sargatha]

@@LaMortDeLaMusique Doesn't matter really. Mike Patton is skilled as all hell, but I like Devins voice more. I feel it's more powerful. No disrespect to Patton!

[@LaMortDeLaMusique]

Devy and Mike need to collab. It may be what the world needs to reset the universe and get us back to the right timeline

[@Sargatha]

@@LaMortDeLaMusique I think someone asked Devin that in a Q & A, and he got a 'no' from patton. I think it was when he preformed in finland earlier this year! Try to youtube it :)

[@markototev]

Please do Devin Townsend - Higher from Plovdiv with the orchestra in an ancient roman theatre!

It's always great to see Rebecca reaction to metal :D Please, react to Wintersun - Sons of Winter and Stars (live at Sonic Pump Studios, please !) It's an epic song, and has some similarities with Devin, since he's a big inspiration for Jari (the lead singer, guitarist, composer of Wintersun)

[@cpyt-o8s]

Please react to some Type-O-Negative. Peter Steele has a very unique voice that makes all the ladies swoon. I think you will love it.

I don't think it would happen. Devin doesn't watch reaction videos, as he get really stressed out while watching it, he explained it in an interview. The guy get anxious easily over that kind of stuff loll.

[@danarchy4all930]

I would like to humbly request the band Dimmu Borgir and the song Gateways played live at their Forces of the northern night show. Thanks!

[@SpykeZ0129]

Man I miss Dimmu with Vortex and Mustis. Any of the songs with Vortex taking in the clean volcals like Progenies of the Great Apocalypse gives me chills.

[@jamdwhi]

@@SpykeZ0129 Me too man. They were such a crucial aspect of the Dimmu sound. Orchestras and Choirs are still not able to provide the intense goosebumps that Vortex and Mustic gave me. The band hasn't been the same since, and never will be. I'm so thankful that I got to see Dimmu live when those two were still in the band.
