You're Wrong About My Voice...Here's Why.

[@lewisross4044]

I'm so pleased that the pigeon question got the respect and seriousness that it deserved. Bravo, This channel is ace!

[@markpr73]

Saved me the hassle of gathering nerds with calculators to find out that it will take no less than 3750 large pigeons to get me off the ground. Kudos, Justin.

[@phantomechelon3628]

At some point in the near future The Darkness will play a show and Justin will make his stage entrance, borne aloft by 1,800 medium-sized pigeons. 😆

[@shornoMALONEY]

Justin forgot to mention that once he's at his destination, they can take him home again, bonus!

[@lincalmighty]

@@phantomechelon3628 Supposing you didn't want the pigeons to work too hard, and to err on the side of caution you might order 2,000 pigeons to be safe. Surely you'd need some sort of lightweight string to connect the pigeons to the body, since 2,000 pigeons would struggle to all find a foothold at once. The string would have weight in and of itself, so the extra pigeons might be necessary to offset the logistics.

[@RIForg]

Honestly I am amazed at this questions response. This man is a scollar!

[@ramseyvoicestudio]

Hey Justin, my name is Matt Ramsey and I'm a vocal coach (as well as a true fan of yours). I just wanted to pop in and say that your description of your upper register is spot-on! As a singing teacher, I would call your approach at the top of your voice a "Head Voice Belt", rather than a falsetto. The distinction is one of strength resulting from closure of the vocal folds. The stronger the closure of the folds, the louder the sound. Falsetto comes from a weaker, breathier production with vocal folds closing less tightly. That is contrasted with your typical approach to those high notes: one of strength, power and twang. Keep up the great work. I watch all your videos!

Ditto this! Would love to hear your take on the process of your personal experience. Only what you’re comfortable sharing of course. In any artistic endeavor naturally you want it to connect with people, and successfully doing that must be amazing. Fame however, I would expect is an unwelcome pitfall. So many negatives with fame like paparazzi, tabloid news, being young and fans constantly giving you alcohol and substances to abuse. Sooo many women almost literally throwing themselves at you, I expect also men and non binary folks too, LGBTQ, equal opportunity people throwing themselves at you (‘sacred promise of fellatio’ one of my favorite lines of many in Shitting Out Solid Gold!). It seems like a dangerous rabbit hole that can make it hard to be faithful to the person you love, can distance you from your kids, etc. I would love to be successful, but I’m quite sure I would hate fame.

I totally agree with you on the feeling about standing in front of a loud amp, Justin. There's just something about it.......the soundwaves just sort of pulsating and the air that an amp is pushing. Especially when hitting the strings. There's almost something kind of child-like about it, like when we are very young and realizing that we have some sort of effect on the world. Lead playing is especially like this.....it's like communicating a different language, but louder, and it's interesting how it just becomes more exciting the louder that it gets.

[@_metal_rafa_]

Hi Justin, we do a cover of “I Believe In A Thing Called Love” and people LOVE IT when we play it! The falsetto thing is right: I, for example, only use some kind of falsetto when singing certain lines (the first two occurrences of “god, you're touching me”, also “just listen to the rhythm of my heart” and “we'll be rocking till the sun goes down”) to make them a bit softer, but for the rest of the song, even the higher screams like the one at the end, is just head voice. You, and especially that song, made me really up my register game. You're a beast, man. Cheers and Metal! 🤘😎

Yes when Brian May is a big fan, you have most definitely landed, or ‘arrived’! That had to feel incredibly rewarding.

[@OTOss8]

You have a fantastic range Justin and I am envious of it and of your fearlessness to stand on a stage and show it off. It's an amazing thing. Any thoughts on Axl Rose's vocal range? It is said that he has a vocal range of six octaves, from F1 heard in “In There Was a Time“, to B flat 6 while singing “Ain't it Fun“, which is five octaves above it. I thought it was madness but under the right conditions with the right frame of mind arrived at through the right combination of snack choices, you can hear the individual tracks of a song and if you focus your mind in the right way you can hear the backing tracks on some of the songs where he was doing them and the low notes are unbelievably low. The highs we've all heard of course but some of the notes he sings are so low they almost feel like a drone. It's wild. Does anyone have a wider range? Is that a legit measurement? I don't know.

[@RickReasonnz]

Corey Taylor has 5 and a half octaves, and Mike Patton can do 6. Think Mariah Carey's around there too. But I've always found those kind of measurement incredibly nebulous and, tbh, bullshit. All about what determine a hit note; is it once heard, is it sustainable, etc, etc. Really don't like Axl's high end; prefer hearing him in Patience than I do in songs like You Could Be Mine. For me, one of those bands where I prefer to music to the vocals, like (hot take) The Police.

Considering "I believe in a thing called love" I think it's funny how the "just listen to the rhythm of my heart" parts ARE in falsetto (I think), but they're followed by HIGHER notes that aren't falsetto.

[@JobForAMaxboy]

The softer high parts are definitely falsetto. I think the highest parts are mixed voice though. I can't sing like Justin, but I have a similar range, and if I sing his most pushed parts I use mixed voice. Pure falsetto doesn't have enough power, at least as fair as I'm aware. You can really scream in falsetto, like death metal scream, but to hit the pure notes on the chorus of IBIATCL, I'm sure it's mixed

[@Marklar3]

Thanks to the person who asked the pigeon question and thank you for giving it a go. Subscribed on that alone. Have you ever encountered a Death metal tuba?

Justin, why are you looking a bit sad in these 2 yrs ago podcast videos? Well you do look much happier in recent videos, it's now 11/01/24, I'm relieved to see. The new song is adorable. I cannot describe my excitement over a new album coming out. Thrilled might be an ample expression.

I am working and putting out my own music, coming and listening to Mr, Hawkins is not only relaxing and entertaining, but also gets my confidence up a bit. Don't know how to explain it.

This is pure gold! I’m really happy I found this.

Man I gotta say the more videos I see from you the more I realize you're a hell of a lot more interesting than that leotard I saw you in ages ago. That said you gotta have what it takes to pull the look off too mate. Nice job on becoming a rockstar \m/ and now a very intriguing KZbinr.
