His spontaneity, and sense of melody and way of taking the dissonant and making it feel comforting and grounding can't be taught... Only admired!! But we can, especially with the generous amount of live recordings available from him, examine the way he uses his voice and, through inspiration and introspection, do some of what he does with our own voices. Through several passages pulled from some of his greatest live performances, I cover how he accesses his Mixed Voice, making use of your Break and Falsetto and how to start to dial in a Musical Vibrato. I also improvise in a Buckley-Inspired musical soup towards the end of the video.

Great analysis. His mind and mindset is driving those intense notes. He's essentially crying, much like a baby. Some vocal teachers would discourage this type of phonation, calling it pressed, but they're not always correct.

@@hogan428 It's funny that you say that, because in many videos of this channel Chris makes the point that this statement is quite a myth. All of the Cornell videos have a lot of debunking this, as Cornell had a very deep voice, but could sing very well in the higher register. It's all about tonality and articulation of the voice, using different resonances to reach the higher notes and etc.

I really dig these videos, I feel so turned off by most of the “vocal coach reacts”-videos where yt teachers look for “mistakes” in singers or try to just bring themselves up by seeming like they know it all - when often they are just caught in their own beliefs and opinions about singing. That is often an idea about perfection or an idea about a “right” sound or a “right” way, and these teachers just implement mental blocks to their students where they fear doing the “mistake” with their voices. And the ones where they rip some singer’s weaker performances apart.... I would never take lessons from a person like that. Would love a video about Justin Hawkins, he uses his voice with such agility it is craaazy 😂

Thanks so much for this amazing content, Chris. Instantly subscribed. Jeff Buckley's Live at Sin-é is probably the album that I have listened to more than any other album in my life. I was only a teenager at the time, but i lived in Memphis when he died there. I remember there being something on the news about it for a couple days, and then that was it. I never even heard his music until 6-7 years after he had died, and I was immediately a lifelong fan. I'm brand new to singing (I only started trying to learn a few months ago and am in my 40's) and I am so glad to have discovered your videos. They have been incredibly helpful to me. Thanks again for what you do!

Buckley's vocal talents were amazing. IMHO, he was one of the very few who properly tamed the song, "Hallelujah". Too many people have tried and failed, by being too over-the-top, whereas Jeff's voice absolutely nailed the raw and fragile emotion that this song demands. The key to this song is it's simplicity. Jeff recognized that and nailed it. As musicians, it's my firm belief that our job is to invoke the intended emotions of the music, in the listener, and if we do NOT, we have not done our job.

Dude, this was beyond cool! I've dreamt of someone making a video like this for years, really breaking down Buckleys vocals and technique. And you are right on with how it's most of all about just getting lost in the music and in a musical moment. The singing over a pad with some reverb and delay on the vocals is a great idea for trying that out, I'll definitely give that a shot. I second a video about Thom Yorke, or even another Buckley video down the line! :)
