Every time I listen to the studio version of this song I always say “I Deed eet” out loud at the end 😂

[@martinw2235]

Her scream of "premonition" near the end is one of my favorites right now. Just brutal.

[@mentalhaze4226]

I know 3 years old, but so true! The way that she can just flip from the voice of an angel, into the scream of a warrior demon is insane.

[@cgafken]

Definitely check out other stuff by them. Holy Roller is all distorted vocals Constance is all clean vocals And most other songs are a mixture pf the two Also their music videos are all pretty solid too

[@cammedgoat4025]

And blessed be

[@Crotes1990]

Circle me is a little more simple, but a banger nevertheless :)

Gotta react to Blessed Be by Spiritbox too

Secret Garden is also all cleans

[@iurigrang]

Constance technically has screamed background vocals, but yeah, other songs would be great.

Spiritbox's discography is a must listen. I'd suggest checking out their song "Perennial" at some point. One of my faves.

[@coyotex850]

i like how aware she is of her music, she seems like the kind of person that doesn't take herself serious at all and overall fun

[@kuneefay]

I would highly recommend their live performance of Blessed Be. Spiritbox // Blessed Be (Live Sirius XM)

[@Rosannasfriend]

I felt that intensity at the end . Wow! Screams have never made me emotional before…

[@clintbeasthood9758]

I never like watching vocal coach reactions cause I can never tell who is an actual like trained coach and who isn't, but the way you mimic the notes you find interesting so flawlessly really reassures me. Subscribed!

[@PeteBaldwin]

Your reactions/explanations are so good. With 99% of channels like this, I get into the song and then when it's paused, I end up getting a bit annoyed as nothing of value is said but it's not the case with your channel. You make me appreciate the performance more.... Thanks :)

Would LOVE to hear more of your comments regarding harsher vocals! Courtney here does so many tightly controlled techniques with her mouth to help her create particular resonances in her vocal that I was totally sure you'd pick up on and wax lyrical about, because she's exceptional at this. More please Beth!

Once again another great video from my fave voice

[@zrhAmngAm]

The one take of holy roller is amazing you should check that one out

[@YuryVVV]

1) Thank you for taking a look at one of the most exciting metal singers of today. Courtney is definitely a force to be reckoned with. 2) More of her vocal ability can be seen in other one-take videos, although I would instead recommend checking out the band's live performance at Liquid Metal, it's more of a natural live habitat, and that's where Courtney really shines. 3) I'm glad you noticed the fact that in her screams she constantly flips between clean notes and distorted ones, which is an indication of her using the technique known as "false chord" screaming, something akin to what Chester Bennington of Linkin Park used for the most part - the scream itself is clean singing with a huge amount of distortion "on demand" under it - and getting control over it is what enables these flips (a good example of that is Linkin Park singing QWERTY at Summer Sonic 2007).

[@Happybox59]

I think you'd really appreciate Sleep Token - Blood Sport (from the room below)

[@richardjohnson8991]

Courtney is probably the most nuanced voice in metal right now. I love this woman's voice

[@CarlYota]

Courtney’s screams are so powerful and seem so effortless, I don’t even understand what’s happening. I know she’s been doing this a long time, but how can someone be this good?

[@123Miseria]

I highly recommend doing a video reacting to their song Constance as well! It doesn't have any screaming but it's a beautiful song on a really heavy subject, Alzheimer's. Fun fact about this song title, Rule of Nines is actually a medical term used to estimate the size of a burn!

[@culturalcutout5009]

Yes!

[@jeffwright6616]

Need to check out their live version of the Mara Effect from Silverside Sound. It's a long vid (16+ minutes) but worth every second of your time.

[@IllustriousCrocoduck]

I like this version much better than the album/video version. This is one i have saved because with the vocal emphasis there is just so much more depth from her, and the emotion.

Thank you so much for reacting to this video I requested by email a while ago, I was beginning to wonder if you were going to do it or not lol😃

[@theopinson3851]

What’s especially cool about Courtney is to compare this to the original studio take. A lot of those subtle touches you were talking about were probably improvised. Always awesome when someone feels confident enough to mix it up a bit and can pull it off while maintaining the feel of the song.

[@DarkDisc1]

Courtney also did a one take of Holy Roller..all distorted vocals..just check out more of them if I'm honest, they're brilliant!!

[@antivanti]

I like that she has a lot of voice mixed in in her harsh lines. Btw I'd love to see you react to OTEP as she was a pioneer among female harsh vocalists

[@dropthehammer1360]

Finally, Beth does Spiritbox!

[@RockDocNeal]

Beth, I just watched a video a couple days ago in which Courtney was describing how she started to do the harsh scream/growl vocals. She said that after she heard a band with similar vocals as a teenager, she just started to try to sing that way in the band she was in at the time with her brother, but the funny part was their sound system was so bad, she could hardly hear herself so she wasn't sure exactly what she sounded like and she only sang at band practices and gigs and did not practice at home. She did relate that her throat would hurt a little after doing the harsh vocals, which she initially thought was just part of that type of singing, but the discomfort went away when she learned better technique. She also said that she started to cup the microphone with two hands and her index fingers just above the rim of the mic which allowed her to hear her voice a little better and protected her teeth/mouth from trauma if someone bumped into her (which apparently happened more than once). In addition to the change in hand placement, she related that she got into the habit of positioning her arms directly in front of her to protect her from guys trying to grab her boobs, which also apparently happened more than once (as a male, I can confirm that guys are pigs, but that crosses way over the line!)

[@richardhowle8591]

Great band and awesome vocalist.

[@musenw8834]

Check out I Wrestled A Bear Once too! Of course that band's no longer around.

[@aceofhearts37]

Courtney is an amazing vocalist and also a very active voice for women in metal. She's been doing a podcast, "Good for a Girl," where she interviews women both in bands and in the label/management side of metal. Super down to earth. If you want more of them, I second the requests for their performance of "Blessed Be" on SiriusXM. "Constance" is also an extremely emotional song by them, if you feel like crying.

[@isajmody2344]

Her work with iwrestledabearonce is definitely something else too. Spiritbox is like going from Mr. Bungle to Faith No More in that respect.

[@jhamilton1007]

Perfect description.

Welcome to the world of Spiritbox. With this song in the singing parts, she’s trying to mimick the recorded version. When they tracked it, they did all the harsh vocals first, which made the rest sound light and tired.

[@adamhofman4933]

I generally hate reactions that pause constantly. There’s a first time for everything as I really enjoyed your reaction. You explained things really well and wasn’t just babble. When you mentioned Melissa Cross I hit subscribe!

[@NathanielBTM]

so with her screams. They are indeed a Mix, The Base of her screams are Pitched Fry which utilizes some voice, but as she's pushing with a strong diaphragm, and projecting her voice with alot of airflow, naturally some of her Falsecords also begin to rattle around from the Compression added and power behind it which add another layer of distortion and thicker tonality. So it's a mix of Fry and Falsecord. I'm a metal vocalist myself and tend to do the same techniques. I have a few vocal covers on my channel which utilize pretty much the same techniques to varying degrees.

[@absolis]

I love you Beth, I love you videos.

[@Rosannasfriend]

She’s the only screamer I’ve ever seen who I feel like I can actually hear her real voice alongside that screaming voice… So there’s some real vocal cord work going on there too.
