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.

In this clip Ronnie was 44 and had already been singing professionally for over 25 years. And he was still killing it live in 2009 at age 66, one year before he passed. The dude knew how to take care of his voice, had a long and varied career, and his music will live forever. Thank you, Dio! \m/

[@dneuens]

He just had golden pipes, dude. He'd been interviewed many times about how he took care of his voice and all he ever did before every show was a beer and half a joint. The guy was just a physical specimen.

[@Tigermaster1986]

@@dneuens He was also a skilled trumpet player, if I'm not mistaken - meaning that he knew how to use his lungs.

[@dneuens]

Plenty of singers know how to use their lungs and still wind up with vocal degradation. The ones who don't take care of their voices often lose them quicker, and it's not just a matter of knowing how to use ones lungs. Everybody has a different makeup and Dio was just blessed to have golden vocal chords that could totally withstand not only the abuse but also the neglect. He probably did have impeccable technique, but it was purely accidental. Just a natural gift.

[@albertdavila6808]

I beg to differ. He was not sounding that good live at the end of his career.

[@dneuens]

I saw him months before he died on the Metal Masters tour. I was blown away by how his voice really lost nothing. Incredible performance, and I was fully expecting much less. Halford on the other hand wasn't the same, so I could only appreciate him for sheer nostalgia.

So did he write T W I F O K A Q W B Y E A S Y D I H A H If so, I’d probably rather have that than the full lyric. He gave you something he was relying on you to figure out, kinda like a riddle or puzzle, and you did! You probably felt so good after that. What’s better? The great Dio giving you a little puzzle to decipher or him writing a quote? I’d take the former! Lucky you!

[@justinpramis3171]

Dio was well known for never training his voice and always giving his fans his time, he said "For every fan they will remember meeting me for the rest of there lives" but he was extremely humble about it which is why he always made sure to sign every autograph and talk to every fan that was waiting to meet him after the shows. #RIP🤘DIO

@@ankh-ef-en-khonsu3274 no but, it's suprising to have such a voice without any training.

[@EpicZadrani]

On the contrary, size or the lack of it in his case and many other such as Dickinson can have a positive effect on vocal power or "resonance". I don't remember what exactly the reasoning was(has something to do with airflow) but with Dio and Dickinson kind of being one of the most powerful singers if not the most(in rock) it makes sense. Of course there's many contradictions with numerous singers being tall yet extremely powerful, from metal to other genres.

Becks...Thant’s goddam Dio. You are beautiful and dapper and dandy, but that man is the very lion that roared metal into life. His grain, temper, and register are always on display..the man was a walking theater. Always gracious to his enormous fan base, his legendary appeal is completely earned. So few men or ladies of majesty have graced the stage and your comparison to Freddy Mercury was spot on.

[@SteveJ0966]

Ronnie originally wrote and performed this with Sabbath. Fun fact, he's widely credited with originating the devil horns gesture in metal. Apparently it comes from his grandmother and is an old traditional gesture to ward off the evil eye, or conversely to give someone the evil eye, presumably it depends on your mood, lol. Another great Dio performance you might want to check out is Rainbow - Kill the King Live in Munich 1977.

[@TheRiehlThing42]

In an interview, he said he came up with it because he saw Ozzy connected with the Black Sabbath fans with peace sign, but he wanted something different. He remembered his aunt used to give that sign to ward the devil, and decided to use it.

[@Manu-wg4qv]

Actually the guys and girl from Coven did it first but Dio definitely made it popular

[@allensaunders449]

The devil horns are a silly thing it's the singing talent that's special

[@Stefan-]

@@allensaunders449 It may be a silly thing compared to his singing and the music, but it is also huge since it has pretty much become the universal metal sign.

[@brianrymek5887]

Dio, yes! Try "Don't talk to strangers" live version

[@markparker5585]

I've been trying to find a good video and audio recording of Dio and it's not been easy, but I agree: Dio - Don't Talk To Strangers (Live At The Spectrum 1986) is very good video quality for a concert of that time and he sings it closer to the album version, unlike this version of Heaven and Hell. So, I'd second that Rebecca, if you get the time.

[@EpicZadrani]

@@markparker5585 Great performance but Holland 1983 has way better vocals. Something changed with Dio from 1986 onwards

[@markparker5585]

@@EpicZadrani A little less clean later, but maybe that's just 30 years of singing and touring eventually taking its toll. He was in his mid 40s by then and seemed to always gave it his all. I would loved to have a good filmed version (with good audio) of Stargazer with Rainbow, but good footage from back then seems very rare.

[@EpicZadrani]

@@markparker5585 definitely touring took a toll. I refered to like very small changes. Loved his voice till the end. For a stargazer show check out burbank one and i think there are two good recordings from england. Just for the rainbow concerts definitely check out early 1978 stuff, primarily osaka and niigata concerts

[@markparker5585]

@@EpicZadrani Just watched the 1983 Holland version, yep, much better, really good performance. Thanks.

[@Alien-wo8wk]

Yeah, you've got my subscription ;) I am waiting for more from Dio reactions :)

[@TheRealJohnMadden]

Ronnie has always been my favorite metal vocalist right alongside Chuck Schuldiner, his lyricism, stage presence, character, energy, and vocal scope have always brought a tear to my eye anytime I watch him perform. I wish I would've had the chance to see him live, but luckily there's enough content to feel that way.

[@TwoTrakMind]

I'm so glad you got to Dio. In my opinion, Ronnie James Dio is the best voice metal has ever heard. And like you said, it's not just the voice, but the whole performer. He knew exactly how to tell the story, and involve his audience in it. Such a great performer! He is missed!

[@garymarrs2270]

I miss the early 80's some many great performers. It was a great time to be a teenager. Dio, Ozzy, Priest, Maiden and, many more.

[@melangellatc1718]

Music is SO full of cunts these days, sadly enough... Mötley!!!

[@peggs1]

Dude.They all in our hearts.worry not . We now have riverside ,soen ,threshold,amorphis. Long live ,rock and roll🤘

[@roguesquatch1]

Absolutely! I was lucky enough to spend all of the 80s on Oahu where all of the great rock bands of the time came through on their tour going from the west coast on their way to Japan. As a teenager (born in 1970) it was absolute heaven. Dio. Dokken, Maiden, Rush, The Police, Priest, Deep Purple, Ozzy, Yngwie, Metallica, Whitesnake, Van Halen, Megadeth, Ratt, it was an amazing time!

[@craigbusick9676]

5' 3" of vocal magnificence. The man is THE best Hard Rock/Metal vocalist EVER!! 🤘🔥

[@Cashcrop54]

Thanks for the insights into RJD and his voice. Already knew he was incredible but its great to hear somebody who knows voices and singing techniques tell us about him. He had a deep connection to his fans. He would go out of his way for them. Thanks again!

Not too shabby Jason ! You know your shit my brother.

Don't forget King Diamond, Geoff Tate, Klaus Meine, & Michael Kiske from Helloween.

80's and early 90's Hetfield was a vocal beast too (Just not technically)

Ronnie James Dio was two feet tall and had more power than any man will ever have. Ronnie James Dio was Yoda.

[@worshiptheanimal]

Heaven and hell, it is.

Never thought about it that way but it makes total sense. 2 apples tall, 900 years old, limitless power. A bit scruffy but lovable. Yoda indeed is he

Please listen to stargazer by rainbow, one of Ronnie's finest vocal performances

[@bobbyg9587]

An excellent recommendation. Stargazer is a great showpiece for Dio as well as Blackmore and the rest of Rainbow.

Stargazer es tan grande como heaven and hell. Máster piece

[@isacbjorkenas]

One of my favorite songs ever

[@josephiladelphia8733]

Agreed

[@davidtrejo6087]

I'd say The Gates of Babylon is a great song to have a piece of Ronny's voice

[@tattoou1222]

I always love when voice coaches get surprized by heavy metal or hard rock singers, it's like they think none of them have a voice or can even sing. Dio Was A God among Men. R.I.P. Ronnie.

[@paulmakuta9743]

Thank you Rebecca for reanimating the great one through your inimitable brand of humor and passionate analysis.... RIP to RJD ...he was my father, brother, uncle, beat friend, adviser, poet, tutor,mentor and soothsayer... leaving a rich legacy..

[@machineshopinc.6783]

You're mistaken, you hear Dio in Freddie. Not the other way.

[@Marco73-KA771]

excellent!

[@kh2freek]

Freddie and Dio's heavy metal careers started at the same time, I don't think one needed the other to exist

[@BlasphemousVerses]

@@kh2freek Queen was never metal, and that's not true, Dio started singing way before Mercury.

[@kh2freek]

Acid Fuzz Queen’s first three albums were considered heavy metal, in the same way that Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple were but are now more considered rock bands. It doesn’t sound as heavy nowadays but that’s what metal was back then. And I specifically said Dio’s heavy metal career because that’s when he started adding the distortion to his vocals that reminds her of Freddy, which was at the beginning of the 70’s

[@GregBird]

Ha ha ha... best comment goes to.... Machine Shop Inc!!

[@scotth774]

I was privileged to see him twice. One with dio and then with black sabbath (heaven and hell)

It doesn't matter how many times I can watch the same Dio vids. I'm blown away by his vocals like it's the first time I've ever heard him.

[@chuckyreturn593]

O my God, I almost cried hearing his voice again thank you for that I love his voice so much!

[@asgart16]

You absolutely have to check out "Stargazers" by Rainbow, also sung by Dio. Stargazers is one of Dio's best vocal performances ever imho, it's absolutely amazing!!

[@antoniochagas701]

The best metal I've ever seen

[@aggcavan943]

If you want the full spectrum of Dio, listen to “falling off the edge of the world” He does everything.

[@roberthancock2563]

I agree!

[@joeysweet9045]

Or ALL THE FOOL'S SAILD AWAY! Loved that song!

[@kennethkelly5162]

I have ALWAYS said that Falling off the Edge of the World is THE MOST UNDERRATED heavy metal song of all time. Thanks for validating me

[@kennethkelly5162]

Also, how can Sabbath do albums like Mob Rules and Heaven and Hell, and then something so disappointing as Born Again, and all of their albums after that.

[@aggcavan943]

Kenneth Kelly no problem.

This is back in the day when we painted bedsheets to bring to the concerts in the hopes the band would see and acknowledge.

I could literally watch your reaction to music all day

[@EKonig-xx8wq]

Hello Rebecca, that vocal magician was Ronnie James Dio. Anytime he entered the stage and grabbed the microphone he delivered and took you on a magic journey. I once had the pleasure to meet him backstage, he was such a gentle, friendly, down to earth guy... I´ve cried out my eyes when he died. Would be wonderful if you react to Rainbow- Stargazer, that´s a heck of an epic song also with Dio. Greetings to you from Wacken/Germany !!!
