Vocal Tips - How NOT to Sing - Too Much Compression

[@Timliu92]

"If you do not want to be a Jonas Brother....." I lost it right there.

[@zainabsanah9623]

SAME! XD

[@superp25]

WOW! This is the best and clearest explanation of this concept I've heard in a long time.

[@FramingArmageddonIE]

2:32 They told me I could be anything when I grow up, so I became James Hetfield.

[@jwul28]

i was not already totally sure what was voice compression, but when u talked about the jonas brother, Everything came clear to me. congrat, its what i needed.

[@GregPercifieldOfficial]

It's funny how things just click at different times. I feel like this is something I knew but never practiced, and suddenly it has become the most helpful piece of advice for me. Watching this just peeled a HUGE layer off of that onion.

[@JohnnyGuitarRocks]

Awesome video. Gives me a little to think about. Thanks Jesse.

[@CaptainOliver]

We have the perceft word for that in Swedish: Lagom. Not too much, not too little. Just Lagom.

[@edgardickens]

this videos, combined with the course and maybe going to a regular teacher will make you a good singer

[@MrBMAD88]

I didn't know it was called compression, but I know what compression is. Thanks, now I can understand my voice more.

[@georgeguerrette]

Oh yes he does. If you took his talking out you can tell just by listening to his singing. His pitch and technical command are excellent.

[@BBQJester]

Summary: You use compression to get vocal stability so that you can hit the notes without putting pressure onto your larynx. But too much compression produces unwanted noises, what he was explaining were techniques to use minimal compression to produce different tones.

[@MrBMAD88]

This is the first vid I've watched from ya'll. Very good. I learned so much from just this one video. I'll be sure to watch more.

[@Ivorymandingo]

Very interesting, I've been doing that somewhat without realizing that is what I've been doing. Knowing what is going on should help, so thanks !!

[@leonardokala]

thank you VERY much!! this video helped me to refind me head voice since I´ve lost it after my vocal change!!

[@jessejafrnd]

Thanks a lot, trying to do a vocal track for a beatles cover today. And been having a rough time. I think this is just what I need to focus on. Subscribing, thank you Sir,

[@charlesvictoria6800]

Just the right amount of compression, got it.

[@4271Dreamer]

OH MY GOSH, JESSE, YOU'RE SO HANDSOME.

[@enriqueDFTL]

[@Chrisalchin]

[@1971SuperLead]

This was useful.

[@santysmokes]

Thanks a lot really helped

[@TheRevProdigy777]

He's like a mix of Adam Scott and Giovanni Ribisi

[@Soatrome]

This helped me a bunch. Thanks mate:-)

[@FairLady107]

Excellent video! I needed this. :)

[@PersianPlatypus]

Would my voice changing because of puberty have an effect on what I would have to do to fix my singing?

[@RedNarboneta]

he looks like he could be in one of those vampire movies.

[@elineswarts2767]

So...basically all he said was that we should contain the amount of compression. But HOW?

[@Hmmhattricker]

Nice tip! I've actually been singing some Jonas Brothers with some friends, and it really hurts!

[@mehkinnaman7479]

if only my parents weren't sleeping i'd be trying to sing. -_-

[@justgotherenow]

Thank you for that!

[@solidgoldballs]

Shit, I smoke too many cigarettes and drink too much beer for this information to apply to me...Thanks for the tips, movin on now...

[@debsavimusic8033]

Well that's your fault plus no one needs to know your personal biz

[@xTHExCOPYx]

Savannah Debose No one needs to know your opinion.

[@debsavimusic8033]

too late its up there:)

[@xTHExCOPYx]

hamper diaper I don't smoke or drink. Are you saying that one can't benefit from learning singing techniques if they do happen to smoke and/or drink? That doesn't seem right now does it.

[@xTHExCOPYx]

hamper diaper "Sing well" is subjective, if a raspy smokery sound is what your going for then smoking is great. There has been and still are, countless singers who smoke and drink, some of the most legendary singers have been smokers and drinkers, not to mention drug users. Being a good singer and smoking aren't mutually exclusive, there are plenty of singers who smoke and drink that are more skilled than those who don't, and vice versa. I feel like you are one of those people that have an agenda against smoking and/or drinking?

[@irblueflames69]

I like the video it does make sense

[@xAriBenjaminx]

Yeah, but Jesse.. I have a question.. please answer! You're a Tenor right.. and I'm a baritone! If I want to sing everything relaxed, I have to jump to falsetto/head voice around an F ! and when I do that, I have NO power at all, and I reveal that it's falsetto/head voice instantly! My chest voice is VERY powerfull, and my head/falsetto voice is not (in this register). I can "power scream" and sing opera in higher range with falsetto/head voice, but not around the break! how can I get powerfull?

[@littledrummerboymc]

@SingingSuccess Is there a way where I can maybe send you an audio bit where you listen to my voice and give critique? I'm finding difficulty making corrections because I can't necessarily tell what's wrong with my voice. but i'm not really comfortable with it either

[@MrToonkill]

yes sweet vid, im such a noob for not realizing this

[@0onuckleheado0]

I really want to sing like adam lambert but i don't know if i have the ability to sing like him even after training. Please tell me how!!!

[@johnicorn]

He said that you don't need *too much* compression, not none at all. The Jonas Brothers use more compression for the style they sing.

[@BROST81]

trop cool !

[@Boychaos12]

So what's the exercises?

[@jjstmike]

thnks!

[@xchosen0nex]

After 12 years of singing of which 5 years have been a battle to find out why i cant sing i finnaly realized my biggest problem was COMPRESION! The problem was that my head was filled with so much theory and allot of wrong theory about singing and the constant idea in my head that singing should be absolutly effortless and with 0 strain that i always felt that any compresion was mistaken by my brain as strain. It litterly took me years to find out for myself that compression is not strain. Sigh.

[@jeanetteferrater2044]

ammm... how to sing correctly in diaphram and proper singing...pls... help me... because my problem in singing is i canoot sing high notes and from diaphram.......

[@xxxamyg123xxx]

what is too little compression??

[@bummedoutforlife]

@miyuris so... what did you mean

[@sharleendevore3101]

that is a different way of looking at the problem

[@fog812]

Yes compression but every time i do compression in 3 or 4 songs my voice is totally GONE what the hell man??? I cannot find my voice, can somebody please help me with this? Thanks :)

[@graceturnstables]

why aren't u a star? dang, ur sinuses are slightly assymmetric but i think u should rock it!! check out that asian supermodel Liu Wen! only because my face also suffered some remodelling :(

[@Canadianspunge]

Question... In my regular chest voice I can hit up to middle C. Using some form of compression, I seem to be able to get to the C above that, without breaking into falsetto/head voice. I can pass smoothly from chest into head voice below the middle C and work my way up higher, but I can't seem to transfer from this above-chest compressed voice into head voice. The compressed voice doesn't hurt though, or even feel strained really, but it really resonates. I was wondering what exactly I'm doing?

[@somesquirrel1510]

Guy knows his stuff

[@vanessawilliams2208]

True

[@BlueWolf9111]

hey, ermmm sorry for the bother, Im just going to link my video. I just want you to post a comment on it about what I'm doing worng / right, please and thank you?

[@IndyTheGreat]

Some people do compression right... Ronnie James Dio and Johnny Gioeli are perfect examples.

[@feromathar]

Really great tip especially not changing the vowel when you go higer. gotta keep that in mind

[@mikidou99]

hahaha 2:35 was too funny!!

[@blinkymon]

One name to destroy his theory? Chris Cornell.

[@TylerMilesMusic]

chris cornell is the man!

[@shahaab]

the thing is you can't just start singing like him. you have start from something balanced.

[@blinkymon]

He kinda started singing like himself 20 something years ago O.o

[@shahaab]

maybe he took vocal lessons. I don't know. or maybe he is an awesome gifted singer. and unless you are a gifted singer, you have to approach from a different angle than just pounding on to make a similar from the getgo. :)

[@shahaab]

it's just my opinion btw.

[@89gerardo]

just enough : )

[@berto3]

the answer is... there's no such thing as too much. jk :D I love these guys. amazing talent and the best tips

[@katzda]

I just dont get how can you go over the passaggio so easily.

[@Hermes1683]

so not doing this is the way kurt cobain made it so his words sounded like they changed seemleesly mid word, cool,... I already have a side chain compressor in my head :>

[@Thrakomatic]

181 Yeahs! ...and 3 Nos!

[@Hmmhattricker]

@xmaddict Well, Chad Kroeger's voice is naturally like that, haha. You can hear it when he talks. I'd kill for that voice.

[@woabeatz9717]

@miyuris using the word "homo" or using gay or homosexuality in a negative way is homophobic. even if you didn't necessarily mean it that way.
