In this video I show you the techniques used to get the sounds of 3 different AC-DC songs: Back in Black, Thunderstruck, and You Shook Me All Night Long! Join me and let's rock to some AC-DC!
How To Sing AC DC
Somewhere between AC/DC and Led Zeppelin are probably two of the most "covered" bands in the world.
Not the least of which are the songs "Back in black" and "You shook me all night long".
That being said, because they are so heavily covered by so many bands I thought it would be a good idea to explain the vocal technique behind them in hopes to help vocalists save their voices and be able to perform this night after night without hurting themselves.
In this tutorial I explain specifically how all of his head voice belting is done and how to do this with consistency and accuracy without destroying the voice.

Back in black is such a hard song for anyone to sing. In the original studio version it wasn't head voice but a high-pitched scream (that is unsafe and ultimately destroyed Brian Johnson's voice in the 80s so he switched it to all head voices in 1990). But this is probably the closest you can ever get while still being safe on your throat. Cudos

I believe that's accurate yes. I've tried to add the grit to falsetto and it literally hurts after a few lines. My mistake was not learning and doing the exercise that Krn demonstrated, to get a healthy volume on falsetto so I can mix in the chest voice. At least I think that's what he was doing?

@siralleycat9141 Ай бұрын

After watching your videos and practicing my vocals according to your instructions, I actually found myself singing Thunderstruck, Gone Away, and Rock n Roll like they were any other song. I was completely floored! Trying to sing any one of those songs, much less all three, with a full band behind me used to leave me without a voice for the next couple of days. Thanks to your technique and training, I have to say I aced it, and was still ready for more. Just amazing! Thank you :)

I haven’t really sung much rock before. I was trained with a lot of choral pieces and had a love for theatre and jazz music. But, I think the range of different musicals I’ve practiced and learned from has helped me dip my toes into many other genres. I think the reason I never got fully into rock is because of some fear that I’m gonna hurt my throat trying. I just never found a teacher to show me proper techniques. So, I guess my point is, thank you. I really appreciate this.

Could you do a video of managing to sing when having bad vocal days and how warming up plays a role etc. I could hear that your mix was more connected in the cover video, which made me think if you had your voice warmed up when shooting this new video. Let's say you had warmed up before coming gig, but still had bad day hitting your mix, what'd you do? Belt and drag your chest all gig, avoid mix altogether or maybe defaulting to more head voice than usual etc?

Your explanation of how these high register notes are all falsetto . With strong breath support has debunked so many myths from fellow musicians . I will be showing them your vids when they don't believe . Funny story all the bands I've sang for people would state you have such a deep speaking voice how do you hit those shrill shrieks and upper mid range screaming ? Because I was taught how to use a falsetto and blend it into chest tone . Since I began watching your channel this past 10 months . I've found I can do much better than I thought . Why limit oneself ? It's gonna take work . However your channel has really helped clean up a lot of weaknesses I didn't even notice before. Round about way of saying thanks 🙏 .

I purchased your course and it has made a huge difference with my singing. However, I don't know what's wrong, but I just can't seem to sing in falsetto / head voice. There's no tone that comes out. Just air. The only times I've been able to do this were when I was sick and my throat was inflamed. Each time, for several days, I could sing falsetto with no problem. But as soon as I recovered, it was gone. I'm wondering if it's an issue of not having adequate vocal cord closure. I've wondered if there might be some cord damage from when I was younger. But it seems like that wouldn't just affect my falsetto. My speaking and regular singing voice aren't raspy at all. Any suggestions?

You make this kind of singing sound cool. I always thought Johnson would simply use what had been left of his voice after years of shouting. I spent years looking for rockbands who were like ACDC but with another singer. I was very happy with Swiss "Krokus" and then even more with "Wolfsbane" (young Blaze Bailey). But yeah, the fact they chose Axl Rose as a replacement makes clear they wanted their singer sound like demonstrated by yourself. Still I wished they had taken Stuart McKie from Doomfoxx kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l912hNGaq8uqcps.html

These other coaches never actually sing any songs. It's relatively easy to eek out a line or two, that is not an example. It's another thing altogether to actually grade the quality of the voice on not only an entire song, but multiple songs in many styles with many students demonstrating themselves. This is the only true way to know if a method is actually working or not.

He steals your lessons and posts them as his own. He steals your isolated vocal series, on and on. I doubt he's ever taken a vocal lesson in his life. He never actually sings anything, and yet he claims to be an expert based on plagiarizing and regurgitating your stuff. Wow...
