How do guys like Ronnie James Dio, Rob Halford and Brad Delp sing so high for so long? It's not superhuman ability or otherworldly talent. There is a specific way to train your voice so that you can last a CRAZY long time in those upper, seemingly 'out of reach' notes! In this lesson, I'll show you exactly how to do it! It's easier than it looks too :)

FORMULA: 1. Warm-up in Head Voice; 2. Get good Cord Closure; 3. Practice going between pure, well-supported Head Voice & Clean Mix; 4. Add a little bit of Compression and Grit over the top using fault mild false chord engagement. And 5. After failing a lot of times, subscribe Liepe's Lessons, and take some basis before coming back to this video... :D

I don't know about Dio's influences but I am sure Rob mentioned Plant as one of his influences and you have that Plant-ish base. Didn't expect to hear you sounding like Dio or Rob but you revealed some tips about warming up which is tremendous for heavy metal singing + mixing + your voice sounds so unique backed by heavy metal sound \,,/ You rock, Chris!!!!

If possible, or maybe comment about these things in the videos. Whatever it's easier for you. P.S. About the last point, maybe that's directly related to mixing...

Another really great video. I literally cant give you enough thumbs up. Like always I have questions 😄 How do you get your headvoice to sound so loud? I can hit all the notes with good cordclosure, but my voice sounds really tiny and quiet in this pitch (except when Im singing under the shower, the reflections of the bathroom make it sound awesome 😂) Also, even when Im singing these notes quietly, there is still always this annoying tension right above my larynx. Thinking downward and using support helps, but dont make it disappear. Anyways, thanks a million for videos like this. Excactly what I was hoping for!

Chris. First, love love love your vids. Im on step two of your course right now. However, my question is this. I've always wanted to have a style similar to Plant\Wolf\Coverdale\Russel but I've never had power in the higher range. Learning about head\mix right now, but my voice sounds so bizarre when I hit the notes, lol. Do you offer online classes or anything like that.

@VIDEOHEREBOB 4 жыл бұрын

Chris, first time I have to respectfully, not completely agree. These singers are masters at some skills not covered with just these components. I believe (especially regarding Dio) the underlying core component is Classical, operatic, open throat technique and the ability to manage high levels of subglottic air pressure. Their breath capacity and breath management is strongly developed. Their throat shapes (vowel sounds) are finely tuned and they are significantly more T/A dominant vocalists. At times, they are not thinning out as much as we think.

@chrisliepe 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks! I agree with you completely! Especially in the case of Dio. This "thinning" technique and dynamic budgeting from head to mix has saved me so many times though... especially in a live situation when I'm trying to keep up with guys like Dio, Delp and some of these other awesomely developed singers!

@VIDEOHEREBOB 4 жыл бұрын

@@chrisliepe I understand. Myself, at times, I chose that intensely difficult, harder, more tiring way, purposely, and over years, it gets more manageable. The tone that develops is extremely satisfying and diverse. I respect you highly.

@luamoliveira3467 5 ай бұрын

What impresses me about Dio, is his chest voice range almost unbelievable compared to most vocalists, he sang his whole life much more with his chest voice than with his well developed mixed chest voice and I know a lot well differentiate; He sings clean highs for the band Rainbow, you realize he sings with his chest from the moment he sustains fully open vowels like "á", "ó", "é" and "í" ; and within what you study in vocal physiology, it is impossible to sing completely open vowels in mixed chest voice for example, from the moment you start mixing with the head voice, the vowels start to close and compress more and more the sound sounds like "an", "on", "in" and "en". His performance in this song Straight through the heart is enticing and in my view very technically complex: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZpZdh8yQvc60e3U.html

Do you ever discuss pop genres? I'm having a lot of trouble with Versace on the floor by Bruno Mars. The songs travels multiple times through passagio. so I can do pieces of it on the higher end and on the lower end in the middle I feel my vocal cords open up and shut like a trap door. I wonder if you'd have recommendations for using mix on songs that go through passagio on multiple times. If I were to perform the song tonight I would raise it a whole step or lower it a whole step to simply but, I really want to learn. Love your channel by the way. 👏👏👏

hey chris, I'm actually in your discovering your voice course, and I found my way to this video out of curiosity. I've been getting 1/2 decent at mix, and i can finally hit notes from artists i enjoy with power...But I've been tuckering myself trying to hit everything in mix. An artist I frequently try to sing along to is Claudio Sanchez from Coheed, is mixing the head and mix the secret i've been missing this whole time from exhausting myself?

Hey chris. Great video! I was watching it, and started thinking... If your course is free, why don't you upload the videos on youtube instead of doing the course separately?

@chrisliepe 4 жыл бұрын

A couple of reasons, but the main one is how the course is structured. With KZfaq, I can't time the release of lessons individually for each student who signs up. In the free course, I am teaching a student who is in the studio with me as well as the online viewer. And the course unfolds over 4 total days, giving the student a set amount of time to practice before being given the next lesson. :) So each day for 4 days, you receive a new lesson by email. Hope that answers the question!
