Voice Teacher Reacts to Ed Sheeran and Bring Me The Horizon - Bad Habits

[@Jill-ih9dq]

I know screaming isn’t your specialty as a voice teacher, but boy is it fun to see screamers featured on this channel.

[@SamJohnsonVoice]

I love screamers! Most of the music I listen to outside of work is screamy.

In a world where so many use criticism and nastiness online as click-bait, I just love how positive you are no matter what you're listening to! Your obvious love of the craft is clear and contagious!

[@SamJohnsonVoice]

Aww thank you Sara Best.

Oli's voice sounds really good these days! He's been able to improve both his singing and screaming without messing up his voice 🤘🏼

[@SamJohnsonVoice]

Yeah he sounds siiiick

[@sean_mccadden]

The importance in training and proper practice even for professional singers/screamers! Makes leagues difference and Im glad Oli is working on it!

[@DodInTheSky]

Is he really getting better or is it the production that's getting better? It sounds very tuned to me.

[@demondrug7788]

@@DodInTheSky I think it's both. But he's definitely not getting his old screams back

[@tentedgiraffe836]

@@DodInTheSky listen to any live content from the the last year, he is definitely better.

[@RayneWalker]

"Oh, I can do that with my arms too. I just choose not to," I'm dying xD

[@Gustavoprf1]

Olly really improved his singing voice in the last years, and although he screaming less than before, his screams sound better and healthier. It would be really nice to see you react to some old and new Bring Me stuff, because his voice changed so much!

[@darialevac4759]

You laughing at your own joke was legitimately funny. I'm glad you're having fun teaching us so much about singing!

[@tehking111]

I like the cuts in the video. It felt like you kept the important points without rehashing the repetitive parts. Also super glad you kept Oli's "BuUuGhh" towards the end. Top job.

[@SamJohnsonVoice]

I have the best editor in the game

[@anbar]

Ty I appreciate the kind comment

[@cailinsimpson4554]

Your videos are SO good! I appreciate the format and the grace you give the artists that you react to. I don't sing but I honestly have learned a lot about even singing alone in my car more comfortably from your commentary.

[@SamJohnsonVoice]

You're the best!

“Ultimately, when you’re one stage performing the sounds that come out of your mouth …. ARE RIGHT…..!” “And you have to give yourself permission to be right .” That was so empowering, as a creator to give yourself permission to trust your talent …. So important .. Thanks

[@LynzuAnderson]

So Oli Sykes ruptured his right vocal fold in early 2019, and possibly had some undiagnosed vocal damage prior to that (shortly after the suicide seasons album). He uses fry screams which if you're dehydrated or anything can cause alot of friction and lead to damage very easily. I'm the low screamer for a band called Lost in the Mutiny (my biggest vocal parts are in the song "no regrets") however I use false chords. I cannot speak to Oli's capabilities but I know he has pushed his limits in the past, which when screaming can be very bad.

[@masterleon40]

False cord and fry are not useful terms anymore.

[@MoonBounce89]

@@masterleon40 thats not true at all. What are you talking about? Vocal fry is 100% a technique. False cord is something commonly used in death metal.

[@masterleon40]

@@MoonBounce89 vocal fry is a register. The thing about the fry/fc duality is that there are so many ways to do a scream, that you can perform a fc sound using fry driven distortion, and the same is true the other way around.

[@briannapinkney4966]

I’ve see. BMTH perform live for their Sempiternal album and it was unreal. Ollie is so freaking talented.

[@TheBillieJoefan]

bmth is honestly my favorite band to see live. so much energy from both the band and the crowd

[@ineshahn8311]

Love this version and fully agree that the metal/screams make it more interesting.

[@thalesnb]

Adele in the backgroud just added another level of fun to this video HAHAHAHAAHAHA

[@nikkid7963]

Oli, is actually my favorite singer. I love his voice so much, and he’s a great performer. His unreal when you see them live. I love their concerts, so much.

[@toniallen1130]

Your reactions are truly informative and educational. I really enjoy them and keep up the great work!

[@SamJohnsonVoice]

Thank you so much Toni!

[@foxyjeanse]

Both the live and studio versions are amazing! Honestly so much better than the original “Bad Habits” in my opinion! Maybe the best collab of 2022 who knows? I’m a BMTH fan and I love Ed Sheeran as well 😁 I really learn a lot in your videos and I appreciate that you analyse songs (not only react) 🙂

[@carolinecoy3164]

oli did actually bust his vocal cords a few years ago, his music was so much rougher bk then, and since then he's had vocal lessons and he sounds amazing. you should react to a few of their songs from the that's the spirit us Album, or amo. Sempiternal or survival horror shuns, it would be super funny to see your reaction to their really early stuff too, so much more raw and risky..or the song with Sigrid he did called" bad life". his voice is so versatile. you being all Goofy laughing at your bad habits how, without giving a shit how goofy it was made me smile. it so that shit alot. but please react to more BMTH. Thanx

[@Mysteriousheadlines]

Glad to see you back Sam!!!

[@SamJohnsonVoice]

Glad to see you still here!!! Thanks for being around for 2 whole years!!!

[@Dave004]

You should check out Ed Sheeran's Make It Rain song from the Tiny Desk Concert

[@standstillsteph]

You mentioned Spiritbox so now I feel like it's only right you react to them! I'd love to see either of the one-take performances Courtney does in the studio of Rule of Nines or Circle With Me, that'd be amazing!

[@EthanMckennaMusic]

You're the only youtuber that I don't fastforward the sponsorship ads❤

[@frankief1142]

Would LOVE to see you react to Bring Me the Horizon live at Royal Albert Hall

[@Mackieee]

Oli's an interesting one - he had to take a break because he ruptured a vocal chord in 2019, and I'm not sure if it was coincidental or deliberate that their music subsequently had less screams in it as it used to be wall to wall screaming, so I do hope his new technique is a lot healthier (if it was technique that did it)

[@pacificdrumma]

You would have a blast with Ice Nine Kills. Almost everyone in the band sings/screams, so their layering is insane. Lead singer Spencer Charnas has incredible range, control, and power. They are as theatrical as they are brutal. For your introduction to the band, I’d suggest three songs: “Tess-Timony”, a theatrical ballad; “Welcome to Horrorwood”, a general display of what the band sounds like; and “Thank God It’s Friday” which goes pretty hard. I think you’d have a lot of material to cover and would enjoy the band as a casual listener too.

[@connormcvay7387]

Oli from Bring Me The Horizon and Sigrid have an acoustic performance from their song "Bad Life" that you should react to! They both crushed the performance!

[@jaredc5163]

I know it will be more of a niche audience but you brought up the underoath voyeurist concert with spiritbox, I’m requesting you do that! I was at the Anaheim show so I’m a little bit invested.

[@trickswitch813]

Gosh, you've been missed. Glad you're back =]

[@susiemilligan7220]

You asked for comments. I've been hearing Ed Sheeran's pop songs in the car for 10 years. His voice has changed from high and sweet to more standard range. I think Bad Habits and Shivers are the right showcase for him, sort of back to high and poppy. The one thing I would say to Ed is that any time he throttles back and goes back to soft and high, he's in his wheelhouse and sounds beautiful. He's very expressive in that place.

[@sugaar62]

loved your energy in the video!

[@SamJohnsonVoice]

Glad you enjoyed!

Imma need you to react to "don't lose sight (acoustic)" by Lawrence. It's a brother and sister duo and she can SANG with a crazy range but also super emotive and a great performer and he has a really really unique but "imperfect voice"

Hey sam!! love your videos so much and I’d love for you to check out an indian classical vocal performance by kaushiki chakraborty (Raag Bhimpalasi) and analyze the performance! Would be really exciting to hear your Analysis because indian classical pieces are all impromptu improvisation within a musical framework or scale (raag) and the acrobatics are insane!

Thanks Apoc! I'm a teacher first, glad it comes through.

[@RollingDutchmann]

There are a lot of rock/metal vocal teachers, including those who scream and know how to scream in a healthy way. You should check those out because the explanations about screams are nearly identical to normal singing.
