You have a new fan. First saw your rendition of Amazing Grace and subscribed. As you are hearing loud and clear, we love your voice. I am the exact opposite of you. I have been a Christian all of my life and considered being a nun, too polite. As I shared your video I wrote sometimes it takes a man like you to make us see. God is using you. We could tell you felt that song. It was so powerful and emotional.

You are open; honest; articulate; personable; talented; unique and I’m so happy I have found you on KZfaq. I LOVE your spiritual/ religious covers and hopefully there will be more. I am a 76 year old woman who has been a Christian since I was 10 years old. I find you very intriguing. God bless you as you move forward in your life……. ❤️

I'm sorry that your dad didn't live to see you become successful, but I'm sure he's very proud and happy for you. You've brought so much joy into our lives and you must keep going because your talent is amazing. BTW, I love Jordan Peterson too. He's so brilliant, I've never seen him lose an argument with anyone. You must check out some of the interviews he's done. Love from Amanda in Australia

I was actually stunned by Dan's personality test results. He seems *SO* engaging, witty, and personable, and agreeable (to a point, lol). I think i can say that we're all *so happy* that you've shared yourself with us to understand you better as a person, what makes you, YOU. It takes a lot of guts to share that much about yourself to complete strangers, but then again, we apparently *ALL* feel you to be a wonderful person...with a few quirks. 😘😅❤

I just want to say....recently found your totally awesome videos....I'm sold. Not only do you sing like no other, you are smart, witty, handsome and well spoken. Hearing you sing is an experience.

In a world dominated by soundbite journalism, infotainment profiles and papparazzi, it is extremely refreshing to see someone who is willing and able to share the ride instead of a misleading photograph. These personality videos are very interesting and I have enjoyed several, like your fight with the payment company, answering wierd questions and this one. I have also noticed you respond to reactors regularly and that is really cool. The man behind the voice is truly as impressive as the voice behind the microphone!

You are no longer broken. You are being healed, loved and transformed into a new Dan a better you. Just trust and seek Him first in ALL THINGS.

Your dad would be so proud, your such a warm friendly human being. Please keep giving us your music.

You're not only talented. You're also a very insightful, sweet and caring person. We need lots more people like you.

Dan, extremely courageous to bare you soul. Not only an amazing artist but a deep thinker too....

Dan, If you ever lose the ability to sing, you would have an awesome career as a motivational speaker and personal development coach.

"Now my enemies have names!" That's fuckin' metal too. Love ya man.

My heart goes out to you man. I went through a similar experience when I lost my dad. It was a week and half before I was to play my last show with my band and I was start up college. After that I just fell right into a slump and wound up working a terrible job I hated just to pay bills. It was around that time I started getting into people like Dr Peterson and I even saw him live with Dave Rubin and Candace Owens a few years ago when he was talking about 12 Rules for life. It would still be about another year until I started getting better but I eventually quit that job, got a better one, met a great girl, and I’m in a much better place now. Thank you so much for sharing and you’re not alone out there man!

The one thing I relate the most to is the sentence: "They are just feelings". Feelings only matter as much as you let them. Once aware of this, you can prioritize them. Like me listening to the Amazing Grace cover; I just let the feelings do their thing. Then I repeat. When my son of 19 months is being an asshole for hours on end, I suppress my feelings, because I know nothing good will ever come out of the frustration and anger I feel, and they cannot be allowed to have ANY hand in my decisions, or my son would be injured and I would be in prison. Positive and negative emotions, they will pass eventually, and how you handle them is paramount. Let the good ones loose, and beat down the bad ones. As mentioned in the video, you CAN train yourself to do this, although only negative and uncomfortable emotions were mentioned. You can do positive ones too. I do it by repetition and recollection, but I'm sure there are more ways.

Prior to today, I only saw you sing, which I think is amazing, but now I get to see what you're like...your likeable personality, your nice accent, your helpful advice. 😊

Thank you, Dan. You are such a lovely, open and giving human being that I find it extremely touching to receive the gift of your realizations of self, of your sharing so freely the struggles that you have gone through, and also your successes with us. I started following you because I love your voice and passion as well as the variety of songs that you perform, but the more I get to know you, the more I enjoy the well-rounded content that you deliver to your subscribers. I just recently started following you on Facebook and I just learned that you also have an Instagram channel, so I will be heading there shortly. I admire you and appreciate you immensely, Dan. Thank you for being you and for allowing us to share in this fantastic adventure called LIFE! Much love from America ❣❣❣💋💋💋

The first video I watched of yours was Amazing Grace. It definitely shows you kept up with your workouts. There were also times when you stood strong with your chest out which I find very powerful. I also feel you have a degree of humility shown by your willingness to share your test with us. Very cool. Thanks. I'll check out the test.

Something we can all benefit from!! Thank you for sharing Dan ❤ I would love to sit down and have some conversation with you! You’re funny, goofy, smart, and straight to the point… and we can’t ignore your creativity!!!

Thanks for sharing your results. As an older man that isn’t ready to crawl under a bed and wither away it is encouraging to know that by challenging ourself we can grow into more acceptable versions of ourselves. Not sure about the cold bathes though.

I struggle with the same two traits: very low conscientousness and very high neuroticism, so it is very motivating to hear that you were able to change these so well in your life!! :)

Your agreeableness score is common among successful artists. You are very strongly goal oriented. You are self employed. These two things are very common and explain that drive. You are fairly enthusiastic or you wouldn’t be attempting to be a rock star. You still enjoy performing from home. You are very assertive or you would not be willing to put yourself out there. You also would not be willing to change or drive yourself. You are constantly trying to improve yourself and increase your abilities. I find this one of the things to respect about you the most. You have trained yourself to become conscientious. It’s something to be proud of. Your family should be proud of you too. As a mom, I’m proud of my boys. I’m so happy for you. Honestly you have inspired me to do a few things myself. The rule thing correlates exactly like you think. My youngest is the same. My husband does that too. They are fine setting their own rules. They are not ok following rules just because. What you did, how you identified faults and deliberately set out to eradicate faults, make you something to respect and someone to admire. Congratulations on your hard work.

I love it that you found Dr. Peterson. Take care.

Dan, you have brought so much listening pleasure to so many people!! Your positive persona and encouraging words are a huge plus... Thank you Sir!!❤❤

Love your philosophy, and the rebel in you as well, i dont think Sinatra could sing as well as you, im not even Christian but this song as always touched me, knowing the history of this song, adds much to its meaning for me, the songs writer was touch, he found God and grace, and im not gonna lie, ive found myself tearing up and a ...something in my chest that astonished me, thank you Brother

I'm so glad that I found your channel a few weeks ago. You are so special and I'm very sorry for your father's passing. I lost my parents at the same time at a young age, so I can empathize with you. Anyone who can sing 'Amazing Grace' like you do is a man of God! Much love and success to you!🌈❤

OMG Dan your music is phenomenal. But your personality and what you have to say on life outweighs it by a thousand times! Thanks for being there for us as a person not just an artist!

Change is always possible! Thank you for sharing.

Your kind and loving remarks about your father mean a lot, because I have built aa great relationship with my father after 45 years. Jordan Peterson helped me find a way through the darkness and bipolar 2 disorder that has plagued my life for decades. I love your music, man.

Hell yes! Jordan Peterson and Jocko Wilink are THE most important mentors for young men today. Almost no one has more influenced and improved my life than Peterson and Jocko. The cold shower first thing in the morning is, by itself, a game-changer. So happy you’re promoting them!

Another new fan here!! Your voice and stage presence are remarkable. But beyond that, there's this refreshing transparency that overflows to me as I listen to you share who you are. Dan, keep walking the path of attainment. ❤

We Love You Dan !!! Thank you for all of the beautiful music you give us and for sharing your amazing voice with us ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.

I honestly think this really explains why Dan is always posting inspirational and hard work stuff on his Instagram and stuff. Thanks for doing this 💕

I love that you follow and admire Dr. Peterson. He has guided me through some hard times too. It's refreshing how common sense gives us hope 😂

Aloha Dan, Am so impressed with the awesomeness of you. As I have been with your talents too. My twin boys are 36 and the most important thing I am so grateful for is that they are very good and intelligent men. You remind me of them. I do hope that you enjoy an abundance of love and support from your family and friends. You deserve it. I am sure your father is residing in Heaven and is filled with pride for you. ❤ 21:15 Thank you for the pleasure your talents, and for sharing yourself so beautifully. Marie, Honolulu, Hawaii

Peterson is a gem for insight in how to honestly evaluate strength and weaknesses of where you are in your growth potential. Congratulations on taking steps to modify your traits to a more successful mind set. Rest assured that your father would be proud of the determined force for your goals you have become. After all you have reach a fandom of people who have never enjoyed metal performances until you came along. You have humanized what has always sounded to me like angry screaming to meaningful, powerful, stories in song. The power to take strong emotional stories to the heart of listeners. Bravo Dan, bravo.

Thank you for being so open & vulnerable with us, Dan! It's very inspiring!

Man when you were talking about orderliness and politeness (around 17:35), it reminded me of an experience I recently had. In my country, New Zealand, we have a youth development course run by the New Zealand Defense Force and the Ministry of Social Development. It's a six week long course that aims to get people between the ages of 18 - 24 (although there are certain exceptions for people who are 17 or 25) ready for employment with a wide variety of employment related skills such as writing CV's and cover letters, job interview skills, and so forth, all while getting a taste of the military lifestyle (minus the weapons and combat training, which makes a lot of sense when you consider that a lot of the trainees come from backgrounds where there is a lot of drugs, violence, and organized crime). I went on the course at first to see if I could get my foot in the door for the Royal New Zealand Navy, since I'd been medically declined due to an old injury that still troubles me occasionally. I had to shift my perspective on this about halfway through the course when the doctor told me that I needed to get my injury revisited and fixed properly before the Navy would even look at my application again. Anyway, on to the important part of the annecdote. In my Platoon, we had a junior NCO - a Leading Marine Technician (Propulsion) - who had the catch phrase 'don't run your own routine.' I swear, the whole lot of us twenty eight trainees from 1 Platoon who graduated were absolutely sick of hearing 'don't run your own routine.' We heard in during drill. We heard it during CT (Corrective Training, supposedly not a punishment, but it sure as hell felt like it!). We heard it when we were being chewed out for missing timings and being late. We heard it A LOT! Running your own routine is being non-compliant with higher authority, preferring to do things your way no matter the consequences. you really do seem to run your own routine, Dan. Not that that's a bad thing in your context. The other thing I remember vividly was something my Platoon Commander - a Chief Petty Officer who started his career as a medic before changing trades to become a PTI - said as he was ripping strips off me for not making my bed in time. he said to me, "Van Steel, you want to be a Weapon Engineer Officer in the Navy, right?" "Yes, Staff." I answered as I ran around like a headless chicken, trying to get the hospital corners on my pit just right. "Weapon Engineer Officers have one of the most important roles in the Navy. During combat or combat training exercises, the Weapon Engineer Officer takes command of the ship. They are responsible for the safety of everyone on board." Chief explained, continuing to chew me out for not meeting the standard. "Do you know what an officer does, Van Steel?" Chief asks. "He meets the standard, Staff!" I answer. "He SETS the standard." Chief corrected. It was that moment that became the biggest kick up the arse I've ever had in my life. How could I be expected to do well in my dream job - a job with an absolutely monumental amount of responsibility - where I have to be reliable enough to set the standard, when I couldn't even meet the standard expected of me during a watered down version of military life? You seem to absolutely loathe doing what other people tell you to. you'd be what the staff at the Limited Service Volunteer course would call 'non-compliant' at times. You'd definitely get CT a lot for running your own routine. However, you're extremely conscientious and assertive, and it makes me wonder what you (as you are now) would be like as a commissioned officer, setting the standard rather than meeting someone else's. The Brazilian Army lost something valuable when they let you go after your compulsory service, Dan. Their loss, our gain. To anyone who's read this far, 1) cheers, mate. you're a bloody legend! 2) wtf, man! go watch more of Dan's videos!

"At least now my enemies have names." What a great line.

You are awesome! I'm just turning 69 and I've always been afraid of heavy metal music. T9 me it was very upsetting because of all the screaming and I felt threatened by the aggression that came from the music. Because of you I am able to see the person behind the music and I love that. Your voice is amazing and you are and are soon interesting!!! Thank u so much! I am following you forevermore .😊

You are such an open honest person its refreshing.😂 your humor makes my day.

i was just about to skip when Dan threatened me ...

"I scored 36, not zero" I LOLed.

Your honest…and your “out there”! You are exactly the best friend a person can have! You take some persistent effort to get to know but… WOW! You are worth all that effort and more. Thank you! 🥰

YOU HAVE NOW WON MY HEART, SIR.

I’m sorry for your loss and so edified by your transformation ❤

Great video! It's really difficult for most people to expose themselves, but you are so honest and open, it is very refreshing to see especially from an artist/musician. I know many musicians and most are such tortured souls, they would never let others inside to see. You are truly gifted.

This is SO INSPIRING!! Thank you so so much for sharing those personal results with us!

This was very encouraging! I only checked more into you Dan after listening to you amazingly sing Amazing Grace! I pray that you genuinely allowed those lyrics pierce your heart and are walking daily with Jesus Christ - the One you were singing about. I am a singer as well who has lost my ability due to vocal tremors - praying He will restore it, as I love to worship. May His peace abound in your heart as you seek Him.

This was... the most inspiring thing I've seen in a while! Thank you so much for sharing this about yourself, and also your comments and thoughts, it's very nice to see how you deal with your own "cards" and I'm hopeful that most of us should be capable of it too with just a little self-analysis! I'm also more motivated now to go on with my training and pick my hobbies back up :DD

This is a very courageous thing to do and share, to encourage others to be self aware. Well done young Man! The courage to look One's self in the mirror is a RARE Courage in this time. Well done.

Hey Dan, you're a cool guy who knows what he wants and where he wants to go in life. Your dad would be very, very proud of you. Believe me....somewhere he is watching over you. Keep up the good work.... always moving forward. I ❤ your voice and thank you for giving and still giving me strength along the way. Thank you.🤘🏻 I think I will take the test sometime. I am excited about the results but also a little scared.

Awesome video! That shows people can, with time and putting effort towards it, change traits they don't like or that make them suffer. Thanks for sharing your story Dan, also will definitely check the books recommended.

"Think to the best version of you that you can imagine, and become even better, one step at a time, no matter how little." A quote from my great granddad, I feel that you truly embody these words.

I've never seen such a non narcissistic personality reveal in all my life. I'm impressed. Well done, Dan Vasc. I'd like to be more like you in these regards. Good job! 🎉

I've been obsessing over your videos all day today because your voice is so amazing. Thank you so much for posting this video! I'm a firm believer that you can change your bad habits and the personality traits that are holding you back if you learn to identify them and put in the work. You just showed all of your fans that it's totally true. Keep up the fantastic work!

Hi Dan! I just recently found your channel through your Amazing Grace video. Exquisite! I just wanted to thank you for sharing your gift and for this video about not being stuck...that we can change our behaviors and our outcomes. Dr. Peterson is a very knowledgeable guide. Continue to pursue your dreams. You have shown us all that you are determined to reach your goals!

You may wish to try the book Personality Plus by Florence Littauer, which also has a personality test in it. I found it to be more accurate and far less negative in tone when discussing personality weaknesses as well as tips for improvement. It also helped me deal with other people by simply noticing that what's in that person that's driving me crazy is simply a part of their personality and not that person going out of their way to be difficult.

I am so thrilled to have watched this video. I've learned alot about you as well as myself. Thank you Dan.

I found your channel last year, but until now i watch and listen to this video. Dan, please continue on your dreams. Your voice is a gift and certainly you are a gift to everyone.

Thank you for being so revealing and honest! Incredible talent…..keep it up!

I stumbled across your video after a Google search on Jordan Peterson's personality test. I'm very glad I did. Thank you for posting this and talking about the changes you implemented and how they impacted the new test. I've been stuck in my own head for 6 years now due to grief. I love watching and learning from JP. My biggest problem is implementing what I've learned. ❤️🙏

An impressive young man Dan Vasc. I was first impressed with your singing (would like to see you compete on Brazil's Got Talent or AGT), and after this reveal, I'm really impressed with you, not the test results so much, but with an articulate, intelligent, and open hearted man. Keep singing and talking; hopefully enough are listening and hearing you sufficiently to change their lives into productive lives.

Merry Christmas Dan ! Love to you and your family and friends from Oregon, US ❤

I found you through your Amazing Grace video and subscribed. Love your personality, keepin' it real, and your humor.

Such great information in this test. And your interjections of further explanation or examples was absolutely eye-opening. You are very in-tune to yourself and wise beyond your years. Some may never be able to achieve that level for so many reasons as evidenced by the test.

I love that you posted this openly on KZfaq. It is awesome and very helpful to those who need it.

I've been listening to you for a while and for me you're one of the best singers I've heard

Merry Christmas, Dan..You are very talented!! Keep up the great work.

... im so so Proud off U!!!! Be BLESSED and stay Strong!!!! ❤

Big Hello to Brazil from little old England! I am here from Friday Night Tights! .... Anyway my Dad died last year from cancer. He was bed ridden from an amputated leg. He also had bowl/stomach cancer so he could not eat. I watched him starve to death. I did my best to "step up" to the man who raised me. I tried my best to be the strongest person at his funeral. Jordan was right on that front. Nonetheless I will always remember my beautiful father's last words to me "You did good girl". X x

So happy for you! Thanks for sharing some of the sources of your inspiration with us. Can't believe a record company would EVER, EVER pass you by. They probably already regret it. Love your work! Thank you! 😊

Very inspiring. Appreciate you taking the time to talk about this

Thank you for sharing your test results and your encouraging heart to all.👍🌹🙏🏼🥰💖

Appreciate your honesty. Good luck to you Dan.

Dan Vasc, You are happy with your progress and as well you should be. Your 2nd personality test results remind me very much of myself, the me I used to be but have fallen down and feel like I've gone backwards in many ways. What you've done is amazing and is apparent that it is not an easy thing to change your mind set. Congratulations.

Thank you for sharing your "Personality Test"...I think you are a fine upstanding young man...your dad is proud of you, because I believe that when we cross over to the other side, our loved ones can see us and are happy for us. We all have lessons in this life to learn, and you had to learn yours "your way"...I truly believe that God gave you the voice you have for a reason...you bring such joy to me when I watch your videos...ESPECIALLY...AMAZING GRACE...I love that song more now than I ever did before. NO ONE will ever sing it like you Dan!!! You were given a gift from God, so use it well and always give thanks to Our Father in Heaven...God loves you and so do I...Carolyn

Thank you for sharing this story which is obviously full of feelings and emotions for you! And I am sure your father is very proud of you!! ❤

Very inspiring video. Thank you for sharing it with us and reminding us that it is very important not only to set a goal, but also to make daily efforts to achieve it. It's not easy, but it's the only way to really change your life.

This video is fascinating! Thank you for sharing so much of yourself with us! You are so intoxicating to listen to, speaking & singing! I would love to have a conversation with you!

Great Dan. Congratulations for your positive progress! Celebrate your wins!

LOVE JORDAN...and his daughter...you are very bright...you will go places...self awareness is the key❤❤

I hadn’t really heard your story before and I fell in love with what you do as I someday hope to find musical success myself. Thank you so much for sharing! 🥺❤️ Much love from Hawaii 🌺

Thank you Dan. You put yourself out there. I can completely appreciate that. I’m a pushover and at 70 years I’m finally trying to stop that. It is very hard. I will keep trying!! 😅

You are refreshing. Not to mention FABULAS. I ATTEMPTED TO WRITE A LYRICS FOR YOU. STILL WORKING ON IT. Your so BIG. LOVE YOU

Dan my lovely, thank you for sharing your results, with all of your fans.Not many rock stars would have something so private,to become public.I am pleased that you can see a difference, from your 1st test,I think your very polite, passionate about your music, and care about your fans.Thank you for brightening my days with your covers.xx much love.xx

Dan thanks for sharing yourself in all the ways that you do. So many truths here. This video came as a great inspiration at the right time, even though it is two years old. Keep flying high and straight with your amazing discipline and perceptions, a shining example for all. Another life lesson learned, be careful for what you ask for. You are on the trajectory for greatness shared with the inspirations of Eric Adams, Jon Bon Jovi, Steven Tyler, Pavarotti...etc and further. You're proof 'where much is given, much is asked'. May love and protection always be yours and with you.

Oh my God I'm finally back, I clicked so fast on the notification because I've missed you SO MUCH, I haven't been active in the last few months and it feels so good to see your videos again, it seems you will always be a source of happiness to me🤘🏻🌞

I'm so happy for you! This was a really inspiring video to watch!

Thank you Dan Vasc for allowing us on your journey with you. I absolutely love your music, and I believe in your dream for yourself. You have the passion to hold your dreams in your hands! Never stop moving forward, and thank you for allowing me to be a part of your journey!

Cara, sei que o vídeo não é sobre isso, mas teu inglês é tão limpo e tão claro, que eu tenho treinado meu listening contigo e tenho aprendido muito só te escutando!! Muito obrigado pelos ótimos covers, pelo ótimo vídeo e pelo ótimo inglês haha 🙏🙏

Very interesting! I really enjoy your videos and music.

I enjoyed your video as I have many others. I have rocked out to multiple of your covers as if hearing those songs for the first time. Thank you for your transparency in this video. You are hilarious and a blast to watch. I will look into taking this test as well. Keep up the great work man you’re awesome!

This was awesome! Thanks so much Dan!

Do music that is outside your comfort zone. Like traditional music or Country or RnB, even jazz. You have to do something that makes one uncomfortable. It's enlightening.

I really appreciate your openness to share the results of personality test you went through. I appreciate your will and discipline I think this was the thing helped you to break the disasters happened in your life. And I love you singing really very much. You're incredible talented wonderful gifted man ✌️

My first time Dan having the pleasure of your magical voice, Amazing Grace was played as we laid my Mum to rest. I just wish I had heard your version first, you made me 😢 as I thought of my Mum dancing with angels to a Rock God's 🎸 rendition of Amazing Grace. Thanks Dan and keep doing an amazing job of other artists music your way, I'm 62 now and it take a lot to move me. However your voice is on another level, I'd love to see you live doing this. Tricia F xx ❤

Over a month ago my father died, and i did that, i tried to be the strongest in my family and help everyone, still doing it. We always have a choice no matter how hard it is, we can keep fighting or surrender. Of course I'm still a mess lol, and neither i or my older brother have a reliable source of income and hurts that he didn't see us accomplishing life, but I'm doing my best to finish my career and looking for job. I recently discovered you, loving your content and giving me strength. Keep being you! Greetings from argentina :3

This video is how I discovered you and it was just after I took the test. Thank you YT algorithm 😂 and I am in your shoes before of low conscientiousness, awesome to see you have improved drastically! Thanks for this motivational first impression ❤️

Nice video! I'm impressed by you feeling strong enough to put yourself out there! I think I'm going to do the test! And Happy New Year to you and yours !

I am exceedingly happy for you. I also learned that a personality test may be useful in identifying target areas that I need to improve in order to achieve my goals. So, thank you! Also, your music is great.
