David Draiman is a classically trained singer and has an amazing sound and range. Disturbed is a phenomenal metal band. Really enjoyed your take on his performance. David was actually under the weather for this performance and yes the producers added autotune without him wanting it. He never uses it. He was irked.

[@SamuelNovota]

It is such a pity when live performances are ruined by autotune... People do not understand that singing isn't flawless. Every video on youtube where singer is using extreme singing (belting, whistle, distortion...) and is perfect is heavily processed and either lipsynced or autotuned. There is just no way anybody can lay a perfect vocals on hard songs in 1 take. There is always gonna be some bad timing or flat/sharp note or vibrato flaw or something... Hiding these flaws puts unspeakable pressure on newcomers. I do not understand why these vocal coaches do not react only to unmiced performances of singers. Makes much more sense...

[@rustincohle7410]

David Draiman has described himself as "sick as a dog" the night he performed this on Conan. 102° temperature and bronchitis to boot. David Draiman is a genuine baritone, with a massive vocal range, and was classically trained as a cantor in a synagogue when he was younger. I heard that they didn't even tell him they were going to use Auto-Tune, they just did it without his permission. He didn't find out until post, and he didn't even find out from them, he heard it in the track and confronted them with it. Man, was he ever pissed. From what I hear he hates Auto-Tune, 'cause he feels like it's cheating. You should go listen to the live concert version with Myles Kennedy.

[@andrewbays6344]

Source?

[@WeissAdvice]

It's unlikely he was unaware of the auto tune. These kinds of TV events are pretty meticulously coordinated ahead of time and all the specifics of the performance are designed. Most TV performances will not even allow for a completely live take. Too many things that can go wrong. As for how much he hates auto tune... well.. the studio recording of the song has auto tune clear as day on it, so...

[@BenCarmichael0]

@@WeissAdvice there's a difference between autotune and mastering. In this rendition the autotune was for a split second not really the whole song. Also he is on record being pissed about it.

He has a phenomenal voice. However, this particular show (against his initial protests) they did add a slight auto-tune to his voice. Apparently they do that with all the people who go on to make sure it's a totally clean and smooth performance. All his other shows and performances, it's all him. Dave has such a great range crazy voice control. Tara Simon is an absolutely amazing vocalist herself. I've seen many of her videos and such.

Audio engineer here: I can't hear any autotune, but the voice has a delay effect on it. Not so notorious, but it's there. You could be thinking it was autotune because autotune is essentially just a combination of a lot of delays with different time syncs and decay, to giv the illusion that the singer is holding the note. A voice with delys will automatically seem a little more in tune, but just because you're listening to that note over and over, although at anincreasingly lower volume

[@djjazzyjeff1232]

@@guitaroffthecuff-davids5528 No I get it, no worries. It's because I've heard rumors that he had nothing to do with it and it was the Conan show that did it afterwords, so I don't think he had anything to do with it. He does have an amazing range and is capable of delivering the performance that's on the record, and he doesn't need the help, that's why I don't understand why they would stain his performance with it, and that's why it bothers me so much because they definitely did, just listen: Go on a journey with me if you will, here are some clips: (for the actual Conan video, not this video) 1:12 the whole line "'neath the halo of a streetlamp", 1:25, the whole thing, but worst on the word "neon", 1:45 the whole line, but mostly the word "light" the notes move too quickly for to be a real human voice, 2:09 the word "and" is the same as before, much too quickly and perfect for the human voice to achieve. 2:52 The word rain"drops", same as the last too. That one's REALLY blatant. 3:00 is closer to how the human voice actually reacts Those are just some examples. The whole thing is autotuned I suspect, but it's harder to tell after they word "prayed" when he goes to the distorted voice. That's why I say "the first part of this anyway" is definitely autotuned. Not to toot my own horn, but I've taken ear tests similar to an eye exam where you hear two tones back to back and have to decide which is the higher pitch, and I can detect it correctly at the smallest difference the machine is capable of producing 10 times in a row, at which point instead of saying your percentile of hearing ability, it basically just says, "You win" This next thing might sound idiotic to you but I promise it's true. If you still can't hear it, listen to it while you're a bit drunk. The human brain when you're drunk has a tough time reconciling things that are not real. For example, if you watch a movie when you're drunk, every scene that's green-screened or CGI will stick out like a sore thumb. Seriously, drink 3+ beers and watch Transformers or Game of Thrones, you'll be blown away with how ridiculous it looks. I suspect it's because your brain is slowed, so the instantaneousness and "perfectness" of a green screen feels unnatural. The exact same phenomenon happens with autotune.

The 'autotune' echo quality of his voice is because that is David Draiman. David Draiman has nodules on his vocal cords. Normally this leads to a very breathy, raspy sound to a person's speech, however in David's case it gives him his legendary "3-voice-voice". In order to bring all his vocal cords to full resonance and issue that 3-voice sound he had to bring his chin down close to his chest. He does this either by looking down as he enters a long vowel sound...or by looking forward with his mouth fully open and lower jaw slightly extended forward. I am not a voice coach or music major, I am a linguist that speaks 21 languages, however when I heard this man's voice many years ago I researched the "how and why" of it all.

Im sure he called you up and told you all of this to right?

[@Disturbednum1fan]

Hey Tara! It does, but if you hear him in other performances, his voice stays the same! There is one where he accidentally starts too high and works his way back to the right key by mid song. Also his "normal" style isn't this.. very heavy, and guttural.

Check out down with the sickness in germany...... yea... that will give you an idea what he is about....

[@blakelester1776]

No auto tune. This man is truly an amazing singer.

[@ManfredDudesonVonGuy]

I'm sure this has been commented before, but David asked that he not be given an autotuned mic. There are people I've seen who claim he noticed very quickly because at the start of the song he looks off to the side and doesn't seem too happy.

[@PeterAden]

I'd love to see the source of him saying he asked for a non auto-tuned mic. The only links I've seen are of him talking about the studio recording not using auto-tune... nothing about this live version. Anyone got links about the live version and NOT the studio recording?

[@joshqaszq4773]

me at the start: *wondering why so many dislikes" her: "i feel like his mic has some autotune .... what is that thing on his chin? ... and she doesn't recognize the song for a good 60 seconds" me at the end: this all makes sense now

[@erebusavernus1355]

Liked the video at first, changed my mind later.

[@slvrangel22]

I have watched a few reaction videos on this song/performance. Everyone gets some thumbs down... But this has more than some. The focus of what is on his chin is so irrelevant. And then suggesting that it may be autotuned as if she can't believe this metal guy actually sings that well. Of course if she did even the tiniest bit of research she would have learned he has had major vocal training.

@@slvrangel22 There was actually autotune

[@LibbyRal]

@@slvrangel22 , that time he was using autotune, according to many sources. He didn't want to, but was sick that night and IIRC, producers with the show forced the issue. The beauty of her reactions are that she didn't know who he was, and she clearly pointed out many aspects of his talent that reflected the training he had. Her obsession with his chin was funny - again - coming from someone who didn't know who he was. I've watched reaction videos where all people did was bob their head and make faces. Her assessment was fascinating.

I think he knows how to sing, Disturbed has been performing together for almost 2 decades
