Vocal Coach Reacts To Ren X Chinchilla: Chalk Outlines

[@chrisparti]

This is the main reason why we watch other people's reactions to Ren songs, to relive those emotions that we felt when we first discovered them. It also gives a feeling of community and empathy to watch his songs powerfully touch others in the same way as it did ourselves...

[@lanapeterzon]

Agreed. I've said it so many times.... We live our initial emotions vicariously through these reactors. We want to feel that time and time again. (We're junkies, you know.....)

[@lynette.]

So well put

[@MissMeKate]

The rawness of the live version makes it so much nicer to listen to them the studio version, for me. It connects in a much more authentic way.

[@mjvozzella]

Same.

[@iamsquatty]

**ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED** congratulations! You have discovered new ren friend chinchilla! She has a beautiful voice and lots of amazing music plus their live version of their song "how to be me". She is our queen 🙌🥹💜

[@frankquinn6872]

Another wonderful reaction 👍. While this song is excellent, it’s an appetiser compared to their other duet “How To Be Me”. For a good example of Chinchilla’s range can I suggest either “1:5 (live)” or “Fingers” (live for Hunger TV).

[@9madness9]

Agreed How to be me live version and this one one my fav of the duo

[@payntpot7623]

I concur. This is not a patch on the songs you suggest. This is OK if you have never heard the others. Chinchilla is a little behind a lot of the time in this song, which she is not in *How to be me*. I have often wondered if it was intentional?

[@drum253]

Personally, I have it the other way around; I see how to be me and the original version of this as appetisers for this performance. Horses for courses.

[@BeautifullSoulll]

Chinchilla little girl gone is great too

[@peterveste6976]

I agree with all the above ❤

[@stewartw7302]

You are the first reactor to pick up on Chinchilla’s inflection on ‘there’s a pill for “everything”. This shows that they are considering how to sing every word.

[@catherinerobbins3887]

He is absolutely perfectly imperfect ❤❤ Oh please react to chinchilla 1:5 live you won't regret it!!!

[@Ant_Toe_Knee_D]

I’d love to hear what you think of Chinchilla “Fingers “ live for hunger tv. She shows her power in this.

[@Shiroar]

The best musical “siblings”. Ren has called her his sister from another mister and a female version of himself due to their similar approach to music. For me I think it shows in the fact that they both have that something special that draws you in and demands attention. To see it fully for Chinchilla, check out her live version of Fingers. This song always reminds me that one of the (many) things that makes Ren so great is his ability to know exactly when to be complex, keep it simple, or even use silence to get his message across. He isn’t flexing his guitar skills in this, just playing exactly what is needed with that beautiful guitar tone. And my favourite line in this is so simple, totally devoid of all the clever metaphors that he is so good at using, but it hits soooo hard: “I’m scared of being okay cause all things change”. I think anyone who has been through any struggles can relate to that feeling of not trusting that anything good will last. You can’t just enjoy it because you’re busy worrying about how long it will last and the feeling that will come when it’s gone. And then good days just make the darkness feel so much worse because you remember the light that’s gone… Ren is so special. He keeps being so relatable that it reminds us that we’re not alone. And we will always make room for more RENegades down the Ren rabbit hole cause we all need his light in the darkness 🐰🕳️ If you want more emotional singing from Ren, please check out one of my personal favourites: Crutch feat. Bibi. It’s an older song from before he was finally correctly diagnosed with Lyme disease and was written after a breakdown following multiple emergency trips to the hospital. It is heart wrenching and beautiful. And very different from everything else in his catalogue.

[@garysherwin3316]

The loud chair is an Easter egg , cherophobia ( pronounced chair ) is the fear of being happy 🇬🇧

[@mldkenny]

This is one of my real favourites from Ren closely followed by the same two doing " How to be Me " I also love " Penitence " Ren and Molly McKinna, it is simply beautiful. Loving your professional reactions.

[@CaptainDonato22]

I would really love to see your reaction to ‘For Joe’. It encapsulates the whole perfectly imperfect style of Ren (though I see and feel it more as imperfectly perfect😉) in order to capture every raw emotion. It is a live performance where Ren is playing piano and it centers around his best friend Joe, who took his own life. And there are a couple other songs that tie into Joe; ‘Su!cIde’, ‘Freckled Angels’ and ‘How to Be Me’ (another live duet with Chinchilla). They are all very emotional and extremely powerful…not to mention so important in regards to bringing “dark and taboo” subjects into the light. Wonderful reaction and vocal/performance analysis🙂

[@prestoncorbin5619]

Such raw emotion, can't listen without tears😢🎉❤ I love their dynamic 😊❤🎉

[@troy9er]

There is sooooo much more REN. Keep going all his friends are good like Chinchilla!

[@cliffcolter9161]

If you really want to hear Chinchilla really "Bring It"... Listen to Fingers Live Edition or 1:5 Live. Both are amazing singing performances.

[@FishareFriendsNotFood972]

Never heard this song before, but now I love it

[@TheBigburcie]

Both artists are rabbit holes to dive down, and I use Artists very literally. They both have a full vision of song, sound and visuals that is rare in independent artists these days.

[@maltelonnquist4909]

If u want hear more of Rens singing voice u have to, HAVE TO react to the big push wade in the water. His voice In that video is incredible!!

[@stevesharp6138]

Loved your response 👍👍👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@francesdoll4039]

Beautiful reaction.🎉❤🎉❤

[@JulitaPio]

Hello new sub here😊 As you are a vocal coach and focuse on singing technique. My next Ren reccomendation are: - Back to 74-message in a bottle retake. - Fred Again Mash-up, - The Big Push Wade in the water /Nina Simone. Appreciate you, thank you for your support ❤

[@TheRevWillNotBeTelevised]

ren isn't about technical ability, he's about emotional dexterity.

[@carloscalderonjr9887]

I love your reaction. Such insight into the vocal breakdown. Nice.

[@Stewart-m7i]

Both Ren & Chinchilla have great breath control - apparently Ren can hold his breath for 3 minutes. They're such good singers they don't need Auto Tune.

[@stevesharp6138]

The GOAT of 1 takes and LIVE!!!!!

[@caseace79]

Little Easter Egg in this song. When REN opens the chair quite forcefully it’s a nod to a condition called Cherophobia or the fear of being ok.

[@joestrat2723]

I thought that was bs, but wow it's not. What a brilliant little Easter egg. Probably why it was so frighteningly loud. Seems the lad has had more than his share of suffering.

[@billwatt1370]

How To Be Me is the obvious next song. Please.

[@InfraRed0]

I’d love to see what you make of Chincilla’s transitions in her own live songs, 1:5 and Fingers. Also Little Girl Gone is a great studio one, but also has a live requiem version which is great for comparison

[@majbrat]

❤❤❤ So powerful and beautiful

[@swere1240]

another singer that i really enjoy for how raw and incredible his voice is jong madaliday. hes from the Philippines. he goes on omegle and sings to people which is one thing about his videos im not always the biggest fan of. but the way he puts emotion into his singing is honestly the best ive ever heard and he doesnt use any vocal effects or pitch correction and its just incredible.

[@kevinmundis1281]

Love your reactions (especially Ren music). You have an amazing voice also.

[@Turntablist_Mk2]

Ren is my favorite dynamic, emotional terrorist 🤣and Chinchilla is a Powerhouse with incredible range. The interesting part is that both are self-taught, Ren sees chords as "shapes" on the guitar which is some savant/genius way of learning. But it creates moments that are very unique as they design it by ear rather than theory. Also, the idea of not "over rehearsing" leaves the magic in the raw intensity. Of course, they have learnt a lot of music theory on the way though. All of you online voice coaches making videos is a great resource.

[@gable354]

Straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@CarolBatley]

Just listened to this on spotify and although great I think the raw version is SO much better it's filled with emotion. I wish all the auto tune and pitch correcting would stop.

[@lynette.]

I always play How to be me live straight after this it's another example of the hauntingly beautiful blend of their voices.

[@johnnyeproductions]

You need to check out "How To Be Me" by Ren & Chinchilla (LIVE) next! They consider themselves musical soulmates!

[@paulgoodrum5006]

"Exhausted" really hit home 😊

[@seth1455]

Interesting, thanks for reacting to this one

[@jlittleboy]

My God, you got an effing voice.😊

[@mikeymoo9056]

Can't wait for you to reach to chinchilla, fingers live.

[@highlightspotent127]

Great reaction, hey if you haven’t already you haven’t listen to the two of them doing How to be me (live) Also Chinchilla “Fingers” live Oh….. and Sam Tompkins and Ren singing Blind Eyed (live MC sessions) Three incredible songs that should blow your mind . Cheers 🍻🇨🇦🙂

[@joestrat2723]

I think part of Ren's artistic draw is his push back against canned, over-processed, perfect music. There's an appetite for authentic, honest human performance so it seems. His videos are brilliant companions to his music, any tiny musical imperfections become almost imperceptible by the passionate story-telling on display. He's a breath of fresh air to music.

[@nm44Sergie]

Waituntil you see Blind eyed with Sam Tomkins

[@debrashrider4062]

Many versions of Blind eyed. When Ren does a "cover" of his own songs they are basically New songs. Similar as siblings or cousins, but never identical twins. My favorite includes the Angry Car Park attendant! He is immortalized as a collectable doll in Ren's Merch catalog.

[@protox07]

Have a happy holidays Freya Casey - Master Your Voice

[@DusCostea-kt1dg]

REN always pure 🔥🔥 but PLEASE try some of Chinchilla's earlier catalogue like ELEMENT'S or ONE TIME or FABULOUS or TERMS AND CONDITIONS or LOCKDOWN GET DOWN or TRIGGER or SHADOWS or KNOW NO or any of her Live performances 🤯🎶🎵🍯🤌🙏💪🐝🍀🇬🇧

[@JohnCanon-pn3iv]

There's nothing from Ren, Chinchilla, or any of Ren's other collaborations, that I haven't fully enjoyed. I believe you'd like HUMBLE, by Ren and Eden? Chinchilla also has amazing solo music!

[@VinkDaniel]

15:48 I wonder how many "big artists" would be able to pull this off....

[@AShadowHawk-fx2cl]

Great reaction…….would ❤ to see you react to Chinchilla “Fingers Live for Hunger TV” - want to see your take on her awesomeness……you will be impressed.

[@pirada74]

❤❤❤

[@marknich1577]

If you haven't already,please check out,fingers by chinchilla ❤

[@Lemonbees]

One of Rens own favourites

[@StefanVillkatt]

For more Chinchilla you can try out her 1:5 (the live version); I think you would love it!

[@Steve-c5j]

Ren has some amazing collabs - check out ones with Eden Nash - 'Humble' and 'Ocean'. For some solo Chinchilla look at '1:5 (live)' for emotion and 'Little Girl Gone' for a banger

[@patrickrojas8514]

❤️👏👏

[@alanmai5656]

cant wait for how to be me live

[@morecrayonsplzmcw4836]

🔥

[@kallumwright4139]

Thing that I find interesting on this one is it's a single mic so she is controlling the volume and not overpowering him by moving away and forwards as she sings.

[@elanorfairbairn]

If you only watch ONE more thing with Chinchilla-please make it Fingers(Live for Hunger Tv)

[@rveino2978]

❤️🔥❤️

[@atl126]

Check out How to be Me by these two!!

I just found you for the first time with your reaction to "Chalk Outlines". I love Ren as well. I scanned back and watched your others to Ren. I particularly enjoyed your first reaction to Hi Ren. Another artist that I think you will appreciate is Ronnie Radke of Falling in Reverse. Please have a look at a couple of his Re-imagined songs, where he takes songs from earlier in his career and re-imagines them. You will appreciate the vocals (and video ). Please check out I'm Not a Vampire - Re-Vamped and the Drug in Me Re-Imagined. (to fully appreciate how much Ronnie has matured as an artist you should take a few minutes and see what the originals sounded like) He also re-imagined Papa Roach's "Last Resort". His latest one you may like as well called "Prequel" , and forgive me if you have already seen some of these as this is my first time here. I will go and have a look through your previous vids and subscribe to hopefully catch some these requests. Thank you.

[@Lu6771]

💙👍💙

[@pirada74]

❤✌

[@kevkeast6283]

A live performance with a clip on mic 🎤

[@LoganTheMailman]

Not sure if you know this, but you’ve got a pretty good singing voice. Might be something to look in to. 😂 Great reaction!

[@thefreyacaseymusic]

Well thanks! I’ve been a professional singer (trained opera singer) for 20+ years so singing and teaching is my full-time gig 😊. You may want to check out my covers and live performances.

[@bad4mojo]

Great Reaction! Check Ren - How to be me (Ren x Chinchilla)...very interested in what your take would be!!

[@williamparrish9954]

please do Ren friend Sam Tompkins Hero live at hammersmith apollo also Lose it all live dead to me see me Hi my name is insecure someone else

[@debrashrider4062]

An Engliish man, a Welsh man, an Irish man and a French man stand together on a corner in Brighten, England. What do you get? Music from The Big Push busking to their heart's delight! Ren (Is Welsh, english is a second language for him). Romain (is French, english is a second language for him). Gorran (is English, english is his native tongue) Glen (is Irish, english is his native tongue).

[@audivawalsh2983]

Thank you for the commentary. You're right, the studio version almost sounds soulless compared to the perfection of this one take.

[@Sunaoc]

I came to the latest video after watching how to sing if it ain’t you by Alicia Keys

[@stevesharp6138]

Ok maybe Karen Capenter

[@troyfraser2138]

Good afternoon, can you please react to a video called HOPE. By the artist NF. It’s a true masterpiece. You will love it!!!

[@LoutTsu]

Really enjoying your reactions. Depending on what songs you listen to by Ren, you may discover this is nowhere close to his high range.

[@PowrAl]

You want to pause some more and not focus on the lyrics?

[@Rad_Radster_Experience]

Um, I realize your a vocal coach and all, but not one thought on the actual importance of this song's lyrics, what it means and how and why it deeply resonates with so many people.
