You've just taken the "let's make weird noises" to the next level

Experiment is the best way to learn, that's why you're the best singing teacher on KZfaq. Thank you again, Chris !

At first I was getting drowned by the water, but then I understood how to deal with it and now my tone is soo clear!! Chris, many thanks for this trick!! It really improved my voice

that water trick is honestly really impressive. you know imma try it

Holy! That was very interesting! Forward singing makes ALOT more sense now. The water exercise is simply genius - I never saw this anywhere before. Chris is always showing me new things and revealing new areas where my intuition, feel and consciousness can operate in. Fantastic

Actually in classical singing, particularly the old Italian style, we have “singing in the masque,” which is just another way of saying forward singing.

Mad scientist of vocals

I was really needing this lesson, thank you so much!

Absolute legend.

wow what a test! Thanks a ton, this is an amazing experiment i can't believe ive never thought of before.

Discovered you a few weeks ago, I'm a huge fan and I'm already singing and screaming with less strain. I still have work to do, but you are the easiest to follow that I've found. Please keep going!

I automatically like it! Working on my voice this quarantine

You are so brilliant! Love you Chris ❤️

It really works !!! Thank you for this idea!

Thanks so much for your awesome course!

Thank you for sharing all these. Especially thank you cause of the limited movement lately you help us stimulate the vocal knowledge until we get back to our coaches. Thank you again!

A unique test that I've never seen before, thanks Chris. I felt a bit more vibration in the right areas after giving this a few tries.

Thanks a lot for this video. I’ve been struggling a little to place my sound forward and it’s a great idea

Its amazing how relevant and precise your advices are! you are THE only online teacher, which improved my voice!!! Plus, you have a very pleasent presence, which is awesome :D You ROCK!!!

Excellent. I just came across your videos today. You present in a way that easy for somebody who’s been pursuing singing by themselves to understand. Thanks for making these videos. The stuff that you’ve been teaching have been the missing puzzle pieces for me.

I learn so much from your videos!! I hope you continue with content like this! I don't get a lot of time to practice so lessons like this help out for when I do find time. Thank you!!

Wow this is amazing. Sometimes I have a problem with forward singing after a few days break, but wow. I just instantly put everything into a right place :) I'm going to use it a lot :D Thank You!

Dude your stuff is great, I'm a musician from the UK and you've helped me so much already so thank you so much buddy !

This was amazing. Thank you

I LOVE YOU MAN I am learning so much from you, you are amazing

You're such a good teacher 🤘

My GOSH! I tried your water trick, and it was the LOUDEST AND CLEAREST I’ve E-VER sang that song! OMG!!!!

This as all your videos provide amazing knowledge and demonstration. So helpful in so many ways.

Brilliant, thank you!

Amazing, can’t wait to try this Chris. Making weird noises and experimenting is fun 😝

Thanks, Chris, this is a very cool trick! Would love to see similar content on singing without tensed tongue/jaws OR how pronunciation help with singing, cheers!

Great stuff! I would not have tried the water thing! Never thought of myself as a great singer, kind of a character voice folk singer but always trying to improve even at my age! 66

I felt water vibrating :-) Thanks Chris!

your video and explanation are really clear and helpful. So so helpful. Bravo!

So good!!

What a GREAT technique Chris for all the reasons you explain. The biggest bonus for me is that I now have an antidote to chronic mouth, jaw and tongue tension. Feeling the water vibrate was like a sonic bath for my mouth, though dribbling till I got the hang of it wasn't a good look :) Once I've switched on all the nerve receptors and pathways I reckon this will work for me as a virtual exercise as well. Biggest thankyou.

Best video yet!

Hey Chris, been loving the videos. Could you please make a video about Sting’s voice? It’s always been a mystery to me how he sings so high with so little audible strain.

Great describtion of an issue Chris! Greetings from Poland!

I am surprised that this video has so low view count. Such an excellent tutorial. Thanks Dhris.

JUST. THANK. YOU. CHRIS

This is so helpful! I have a request: could you please make a video on how to sing with a mellow/airy tone like John Mayer? That would be awesome 🤘🏻

Love your videos sir. Can u do a video explaining the features and attributes of your own voice.

Thank you!

👍　you gave me another method to improve my vocal. My eyes widely opened. I felt a different sound when I held liquid in my mouth. Especially it’s good for i vowel. Thank 🙏

Thank you so much! ❤

Thanks Chris

Love the approach!!

This deserves 10 million of subscribers ♥️😎👍

WOW! Thank you

Amazing tip.

Fantastic!!!!!

Wow, the water trick is a new one for me! I think it might help with the root tongue tension I'm currently battling.

haha thats fantastic stuff, ive never seen this water exercise before, ive also noticed that while the water is there the sound naturaly tends to resonate on the nasal cavities so important in forward placement, good to fight the nasality stigma too :) and open up to its possibilities

Ty....that was awesome singing tip...

I have an idea for a lesson! Background vocals! I sing lead in one of my bands, and I sing background in an 80's band in which I play lead guitar. I have to sing higher than the lead vocalist like Michael Anthony does (did) in Van Halen. Some advice on techniques for singing like Michael Anthony or the Damn Yankees would be greatly appreciated! I'm sure a lot of musicians would benefit from it, as many background vocalists are not the "strong" singers like the lead vocalist, but often have to sing some challenging parts! Your lessons and demonstrations are great, thank you!

mmhh🤔 very interesting... curious about more. Thaaank You🍀🖖

Hey Chris, love your videos, finding them super helpful. It would be interesting to see you talk about Mikael Akerfeldt, the singer of Opeth. He does these vicious growls but also does some silky smooth clean vocals. Check out their earlier stuff if you're interested, for example the songs "The Leper Affinity," or "Bleak". Keep it up! (Edit) "Ghosts of Perdition" is another great Opeth song for showing off varying vocal styles.

Lap is very wet now. Highly recommend this experiment.

Excellent example man. Perfectly explained 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻but it’s not a mind thing. It’s using the NOSE and using head voice with a neutral larynx

Hi.Chris. First of all thanks for the material you put out. A big grey area,would be twang and breathy.or aspirate singing. I wish you can.cover these as they are ever so confusing....Thank.you.

Interesting exercise.. i'm gonna try it but not in front of the computer to avoid a complete mess, thanks

Cool!

This actually blew my mind 😳😳😳 he can sing so well with water in his mouth...

Notification squad

Thanks you soo much

outright genius

Dam`. That water trick is something else. Great video. Thank you so much :D

GOOD STUF KEEP THE POSITIVE INTENSITY 😎

I don't know how you don't have more subscribers, but you're great! A lot of vocal coaches on KZfaq make things either too complicated or dumbed down to the point it's ineffective. You have a great way of explaining things in a way that's easily understandable. I subscribed, keep up the good content man!

You have no idea how the water in mouth excercise and mindset have impacted my singing. I have been learning to sing the past 2 years and today is a key day in my process. Thank you Chris I hope I can get into a zoom class with u some day, take care!

Your passaggio is dope man

That gargle KILLED MEE

Its works!

Hey Chris, awesome lesson. I saw another comment below about Kurt Cobain. Could you please teach how to sing like him in a safe way. I know some of his singing methods were not safe, but would love to incorporate some of his techniques into my vocal vocabulary. Thanks brother.

Hey Chris could you possibly give some insight into what's going on in the music of System of a Down.

Wow awesome video! I think I've only just realized you don't really use your tounge with vowels. Gonna try this in the morning

Your voice with water sounds very similar to Jeff Buckley... Cool!

Chris, next video, you should do a How To Sing like Kurt Cobain, he had some serious control and breath support.

Coach” YOU ARE FIRED” Chris “You R awesome” Thank you for everything👈

Chris, do a video with your version of Feel on Black Days of Soundgarden!!!

Nobody's thumbed down this video cause they know this dude knows whats up

You did great impression of James Stewart when you started talking with water in your mouth

I would appreciate it highly if you did Anthony Green for your next “singing like” video. His voice is so unique and different, and Circa Survive is one of my favorite bands. I know you’d be able to explain everything about his technique in a way people could understand. Also, I’m currently taking your course and am already correcting bad singing habits and building a more solid foundation for my voice. Thanks for the help

Hello Chris! First, let me apologize for posting this comment under a couple of your videos but it's veeery important to me and I've been looking for an answer to this question for years and am inhumanly frustrated so I really wanted your attention 😅 I know that you usually don't take requests but could you make a video about what I think is a really important topic?: Early vs Late briding and how to make your mixed voice beefier? (I know that you made videos on how to make your mix beefier but it's not exactly what I'm talking about - I also mean tone wise) A perfect example of this is a song sang by two different vocalists of Iced Earth(notice the very obvious difference in tone when they sing "the blood is the life" - Barlow sings it much closer to how Chris Cornell would sing it and Stu Block seems to be using more of a Halford/Falsetto approach) This is the beefy one(Barlow): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kMVyaKiX2M7af2Q.htmlsi=XqBwnngp34ivQq7N And this is the weaker one(Block) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qdVpbKlelqrGf58.htmlsi=hrjRH2CcWDXwapCw I don't think it solely comes down to their voice types as it is evident that Barlow puts in a lot more of his chest voice Almost like reaches down for it I also think that Cornell did it too hence his vocals had that "weight" that's very hard to replicate If you or anyone has any insight on how to do it please feel free to let me know Thank you

On that 3rd exercise, I can feel the 'mask' of forward placement but don't understand the 'vibrating water' element. Is there any other type of feeling I should look for or am I doing it right if I can feel the mask?

Using water is really interesting. How much water should we be using to achieve the effect?

Chris i know that you are a guy who loves rock but can you once make a video on how to have a voice of rnb styles

Can we get a Jackie Chan training montage? I was actually scared with you messing the mic up 🤣

That's a very interesting exercise can't wait to try it out tmrw! Just to make sure tho any1 choked doing it or smth? 🤣

Wow

Can you make a video on muscle tension and techniques to relax your throat, neck, and jaw? I’ve been forcing my voice (subconsciously) and I have no idea how to fix it. Can’t sing for five minutes without pain now; even talking is hard. Thanks for the consideration.

OMG I was doing this on accident and I wondered my lip felt so weird. I am so new to mixed and resonance. I never felt none of these sensations before. I can just feel where everything is at. My lip was hella weird and I had to stop LMAO. Even though I had voice lessons and sang since I was 16. I never felt these sensations in my life tell I just let go and stopped caring about shit. I think a lot it has to do with trapped emotions, being scared, and thinking about notes. So a tingly vibration is safe and I was getting so much anxiety from it. I thought I damaged my voice but I could speak fine and nothing hurts?! It also feels kind of good but it still worried the fuck outta me. I am getting use to it now. How long does the resonance lasts and also is it safe to feel resonance while you listen to music from other singers? I know where everything is at and there are even resonators in the back of your neck I think.

Hey Chris! Great video! Could you suggest a possible alternative activity for people who are tongue-tied? There's just not enough room under my tongue for anything

Chris i hope you read that. Please, its so difficult to sing "Flawless" Von Dorothy :-/ can you make a video about it? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE !!!!!!!!!! I think she sings in her mix with a little bit of chest? :Please excuse me. I really have to laugh sometimes. Be careful not to let the water gush out :-D ,,oh and by the way your voice is really great.

Hi Please I need a link to your music production videos,I’m sure I can easily learn from you

Cool :)

Thank you so much Chris for this amazing content But I have a question? How do I apply this to real singing ?

Awww, this is so hard for me. I keep spitting out all the water. 😅 Not sure what I’m doing wrong. How much water do I exactly need to take in? And where is my tongue supposed to go? The higher the note the more the water is splashing out of my mouth. 🤪

Please a video about the Christina Aguilera different kinds of raspy/Growl voice
