[@katherinemorelle7115]

I think it’s because he honestly likes metal. She isn’t the first screamer he’s reacted to, and he appreciated the work that goes into doing it well. And he’s also really great for providing information about how things are done - why they’re done well or not, and when he does critique, he’s never negative. Seriously, he reacted to and critiqued a video of the worst Idol performances. Never once did he get negative or mean, but he did provide helpful critiques. He’s by far the best vocal coach reacting on KZbin. I’d love to have him as my voice teacher. I know he’d never be negative or mean about anything.

At times I think she's great, but to my ear she does way too much of the easy sounding, low effort harsh vocals. It's probably just a tolerance I've built up, but if I don't hear the strain it doesn't do it for me. I love the desperate sound when a vocalist puts everything they have into it. Caro from Oathbreaker is a good example of a female vocalist who does this.

Hahaha I love how at 4:20 he's biting his lip like, "oh fuck yeah! This is fun!" This also is a legit good version of it, not just, "OH MY GOD! I didn't expect that!" This is a REALLY good introspection. Especially talking about the breathing techniques. Thanks, @Sam Johnson.

[@californiumkineticsoup367]

You know what Sam? I've watched an uncountable amount of music reaction videos with and without vocal coaches/singer songwriters and I feel that I just have to say this. You are the King of really nailing every nuance of what the singer is doing, the reason they are doing it, how they could improve and why. Not only that your also very solid, consistent and consistently honest while maintaining a wonderful gentlemanly humbleness about yourself that few people have. I wish you continued success in any endeavor in your future. Just a really great job man. Really great. Keep up the good work! If I ever needed a vocal coach (which I definitely would need ) or referred one, it would and will be you for sure. Thanks for the vid man. Not a huge fan of growling.

You do so well not criticizing the artist or the genre rather you break down the vocals, stay professional and still have fun! Prior to your videos, I had no idea about the importance of vowels and vowel choice from one to another. I've noticed an improvement in my sustain and not getting tongue tied because I'm figuring out the best vowels to use and best way to sing with my instrument. Thank you! SUBSCRIBED!

I wonder what'd you think of Serj Tankian's voice change over time. Like, a comparison of his older performances (1997-2005) and the recent ones (2011-2018)

[@briietsai1997]

Bartek S. Hmm I’m interested to hear the change . Can you recommend me some live performances to check out

Compressors and post-recording support. Can't you hear the layering in the growl? There's at least two, sometimes 3, layered takes. Sure she can growl, but that depth is aided.

First of all, you look amazing with the new hair! And I have heard a lot about this band (being a metal head myself) and now I can appreciate it, I was NOT expecting her to do growls, happily surprised.

I’ve watched a lot of reaction videos to this song and I really like how you comment on the consistency of her breathing and control. Whether you love or hate the music style/genre, (I like Metal, but I am not a fan of that particular type of vocal; though I like this song a lot), the one thing that’s evident: the lady is talented. She has complete control of her voice and I respect, admire and am entertained by that. I catch myself smiling when I hear this song. There are a few other Jinjer songs that I also similarly enjoy. This was a very nice reaction video. Thanks for doing it!

My favourite female growler and my favourite voice teacher in one video? That's a like from me.

[@genetix3523]

I've been hoping this one would come around, especially after Kingdom made it to the channel. I'm no musician myself, but over the past couple of years I've found myself fascinated with musical techniques in my sort of personal quest to discover WHY I like the music I do, and am so resistant to other types. I've seen lots of channels discussing instrumentation, but up until I stumbled onto your channel, there has always been a void in learning about vocals and what goes into them. Fascinating material. I have a feeling I will be spending a lot more time here.

[@joeyjiggy-bippers6382]

Your thoughts on her growls made me like you. I appreciate your openness on the artform and also make a valid point on her execution. Enjoy the like!

[@warhoofdje2227]

My brain is a little broken since I was 16. And it can't handle music that I don't know very well. Still I watch this video's. After watching the reactions on the song Sound of Silence I got hooked on this channel. Sometimes I have to skip a song because my brain will go crazy. So halfway this video I have to stop. But it is so worth it! I get to know some new songs. You talking in between gives my brain a break. And Sam, you are just a genuine nice guy. It's lovely to see you when you enjoy something. To learn from what you explain to us. Lovely channel. Me and my broken brain are big fans!

[@marioe.4400]

If it's not too personal could you say what happened? I'm really intrigued - - never heard anything similar...

[@-MarcelDavis-]

What do you mean by "go crazy". Does unknown music make you feel uncomfortable? Sorry for asking but I've never heard of this before.

[@warhoofdje2227]

Well, the part of my brain where speech is being controlled is not okay. That part of my head is what sometimes has a short circuit which leads to epileptic seizures. If my brain can not properly estimate what is coming (for example, a transition in speeding up the rhythm, increasing the volume), then it gets confused. I do not get an seizure but feel very bad for a while. My brain shuts of a little, different kind of awareness/consciousness until everything is settled down again. I might stare for a while, words are hard to find. People with epilepsy can be triggered by flashy images. I have this more with sound. For example, I can handle the intensity of Chop Suey because my brain knows what is coming. But when this girl all of a sudden started growling my brain got confused. But it went all right! I did stop the video just in case, but I was proud of my brain. Hard-core, some heavy metal is just not do-able. I used Google translate to explain. I hope you understand.

[@griffnuts]

Izzy Ridiculous amounts of coaching. Basically how untrained people think you growl, is not how professionals growl. Same sound but using a completely different vocal shape that you would think. Nothing is pushed or forced, and then it’s just endurance. It takes a long time to really master, and recovery is key.

I'm confused, when I watched this video, she clearly pushes a button with her foot as she starts that part. I assumed to turn on whatever voice modifier she uses to make her voice the growl.

[@stephanietheteacher]

I use a lot of this analysis and the tips to help my ESL students learn English. Sure, we're not singing per se, but so many of the notes about mouth position and tone and, well all of it, really helps them feel more comfortable with their pronunciation. It helps SO much.

[@joannasaad298]

Stephanie The Teacher English is such a tricky language to learn. Love your approach ☺️

[@jaydobbelvem5007]

Hello Stephanie, could you expand on that? I'm a math teacher, so i'm not well versed in tactics with ESL students. Just have a lot of them :)

[@user60550]

math (and language). i think the most effective approach is making sure the basics are understood. When you have that "doe in the headlights" look, even on one student, you've gone past the immediate comprehension. Repeating the method, like trying to use your tongue to differentiate between an r and l, will never be correct, until it's understood. Same with math, knowing which step is next, is the absolute critical point to progressing, if your students don't know whether to process inside parantheses 1st or last, you cannot move to anything more difficult for that student.

[@jaydobbelvem5007]

@user60550, hehe... Thank you, I do agree with your assesment of "doe in the headlight" and not to proceed beyond that point ;) And in my failings, i dont quite understand your point on r an I. Where I come from, we specialize in 2-4 subjects (math, english, social studys etc.), and learn everything about that. So I have no understanding of how to teach a foreign language. Yet my students don't speak the native language of my country, yet they are expecting to attend other classes such as math. But what I was inquiring Stephanie about, was her methods using Sam Johonson teachings. The reason is because my math students exam is oral, where they have to be able to pronounce mathematical terms, and names. I already introduce music in geometri, so it wouldn't be a stretch to expand on it to include vocal technics. And music is international, so everyone has opinions and knowledge about it.

[@AsdrianSebastian]

I like you are deviating from only pop music lately, if you wanna see something amazing you should react to Ever Dream by Nightwish live at Wacken 2013 ( LISTEN ALL THE WAY TO THE END TRUST ME) , the singer is floor Jansen she's a metal singer that has been around since the late 90's and a vocal coach herself, that song shows a little portion of what she can do she's capable of doing anything from high belting, head voice(operatic), soft, growling, anything. Other songs are Storytime (shows her rocky voice, operatic and high belting at the end), Ghost Love Score (lasts 10 minutes but is the most dynamic one), Greatest Show on Earth ( lasts almost 20 minutes) .... Anyway whichever one you choose make sure you listen all the way to the end, she likes to end flashy.

[@levischorpioen]

Check out his female singers in rock and metal video, he's well aware of the awesomeness that is Floor Jansen ;)

[@AliyahDayeVocals]

He did a compilation of the female metal singers, but I wanted to hear his particular analysis of this performance as well. Particularly the ending because to me, it sounded strained , though it is obviously gorgeous and gives me chills. I wonder if she is pushing chest or blending etc.

[@AsdrianSebastian]

Levi Everarts i already watched it, and i didn't like the clip that the person who made that video put in it, i mean there are tons of good perfromances from her and yet that person chose her one bad show before she went into hiatus for like 4 years. :(

[@AsdrianSebastian]

ShadowLeafAliyah i doubt it is starined, she seems pretty comfortable in her high chest voice even more than in her operatic style if anything i think she releases all that she was holdin in through out the previous portion of the song. XD

[@AliyahDayeVocals]

Yeah that's why I'm curious what Sam would say since not everyone hears what I do. I think that compilation used something from After Forever. She's evolved a lot since then!
