David Draiman detests autotune and will not use it if he knows about it. He professionally trained and has a voice that does not require autotune. You can see him perform it live and sick on Conan and there is also a live concert performance where he performs flawlessly.

Hi old man, I was 13 when this song was written 15 when it hit the airwaves. The message never really hit me until I heard this, and he delivers it right to you soul. The Performance is a masterpiece.

David Draiman....can go from baritone to tenor, from clear as a bell to rasp and back ON A DIME! unbelievable voice! Amazing timber and control !!

His performance is a feast for the soul.

Older?? I'm 63 and love Disturbed!!!!

He's done it live. David Draiman is incredible.

Get ready for a religious experience! Moves me to my very soul!

I heard a brilliant Italian vocal coach describe Davied's voice as reminiscent of a cello, especially on the long "n" of the first "silence" and now I can never unhear it. There are a lot of vocal coaches reacting to this, as you said, but you and the Italian gentlemen are my favorite so far. Actual technical info, and not just focusing on superficial details.

I love that you know how to sing + know music's beat so well that you are genuinely impressed with this gentleman's piece of awesome vocal art . It's fun to listen with you. That bad review you got on your voice being annoying was obviously pure jealousy on his part. You took it with grace + pure class. Kudos for your professional echo of his pitch. Love it, thank you!

Cool reaction, check his live performance from Conan and see for yourself

David has a voice to die for. You have to try "Uninvited Guest"....as good as SOS imho....then followed by "Vengeful One" LIVE at Red Rocks Colorado!! You won't be sorry since you're a vocal coach..... Shows their diversity!!

I've never commented on a coach before. I've listened to about all of them, You're very good!!

He definitely performed it live flawlessly. There was a little bit of auto tune on the conan show but he definitely didnt need it

Don’t even worry about negative comments. People will always find something to be critical of, regardless of what it is you’re doing.

Love your reaction. Don’t ever lose the technicality. It’s what makes you unique. And yes, you have perfect pitch. F# minor. (From a classically trained concert pianist.)

I do wish vocal coaches would do a little research on the artist they are “reacting to” because it comes off as criticizing. I find that guys like this tend to disbelieve the capability of others simply because they themselves are not capable of doing the same thing. 🤷🏾‍♀️ He said it himself, this is the guy that sung Down with the Sickness. Does he not know how many times he’s had to perform that song as well as the others that are similar to it? Clearly, he’s got mad vocal skills. He is humble about his abilities and let’s his talents speak for themselves. 😁

Thank you for watching one of my favorite performances ever.

look at the live performance! yes, he does that flawlessly without studio magic. I know, the show techniciens used auto tune - against Davids expressed wish - but still, he can do that for a complete concert...

I just now found you and am subscribing now.I have no idea about some of the things you talk about and hope I can learn from you.By the way,I love your voice.The comment you shared is from someone who knows less than me(so absolutely nothing)

Check out the Conan Live version. Note: there is autotune with the live version, but it was done w/o his permission, and the vid was out there too long to undo it. He also had a cold at the time, so the performance was remarkable in spite of the challenges there.

Good, intelligent reaction, brother. That voice is immense!!

I think was better live, but this version is great too obviously. Glad you finally got around to listening to it :)

I am extremely surprised that you haven't reacted to Jinjer - Pisces yet, every single vocal coach reaction has been insane on it.

Sad that his voice isnt appreciated abit more since its unique in the music industry. ❤ Good reaction coach! Still waiting for the babymetal - akatsuki. Thank you! ! !

Hey, to really appreciate how different this is from disturbed,songs like prayer, inside the fire, stricken, indestructible are typical of disturbed,yes it's the same person,he has an incredible voice.Just saying,react to this performed live on Conan, seriously awesome 👍🎶💖🔥🎸👍🎶💖🔥🎸

I'm waiting for this, nice.

His live version (while having the flue) is also great.

No mixing he is a professional and hates that, on Conan they auto tuned and when he found out he was not happy, on Conan he had a cold as well, this man is better than you think.

( i mean ...how many sounds of silence are there ) that really cracked me up 😂😂

Great song, David blows it up.❤❤❤❤😊😊😊. Best version❤❤

You should check out Jinjer-Pisces live session and Geoff Castelucci-cover of Blackbird. Both are amazing

He absolutely pulls it off in live performance - check out Conan performance which he did with a temperature of 103 degrees due to flu!

david is a classically trained opera singer... which is crazy for a metal singer... he said this was the hardest song he had ever sang especially from a perspective of anger about how people had failed to heed the warning from the original song... instead of people communicating better all they have done is replace their neon gods “TV” with cell phones

Hi Matt it is really amazing how quickly you absorb and give analysis on the fly. Have you done Queensryche Take Hold of the Flame?

You should react to Nightwish - Ghost Love Score live Wacken 2013. There is most versatile singer whos voice will amaze you. There is only fraction what she can do. You wan't regret.

4:07 did he even spend 1 minute on your channel before judging you?! I love your videos, I truly appreciate the fact that you made long tutorials to explain technical details and so on...Don't let this kind of annoying people bother you...yes just delete them! I don't understand why some people need to undermine and be mean like that it's pissing me off!!!! You are a great teacher and have great voice! Cheers

It's been 3 years, but this MIGHT still interest you.... David doesn't need auto tune. You won't be surprised to hear he works really hard and uses vocal coaches. One of his bandmates during an interview was very sympathetic about the question concerning auto tune and other distortive effects. He said that it's natural to David's voice. It occurs in a couple of their other songs too. He hits this one place in his voice and that's what comes out! One of his vocal coaches suggested that it might have something to do with his facial structure, but the truth is nobody knows, not even David. It just happens. I listened to you talk about how everybody's voice is unique! Here's yet another one to enjoy! I suspect that part of his unique voice is that he started out at a young age being trained as a cantor (Jewish synagogue). I've heard a cantor (my friend's dad). They have a very distinctive WAY of singing. It shows. So, maybe?...... and yet another unsolved mystery with which to occupy our minds instead of being bored!😄(I'm waiting for laundry today)

saying david uses auto tune is kinda fucked when he literally cannot stand auto tune and despises using it in anyway.

this song was written by paul simon, sung by art garfunkle, during the late 1960s about the Vietnam war. David Draiman spent the first couple of decades of his life training in the US and Israel to be a cantor, like his world-famous grandfather.

Dude listen to me not only am I older than you. I'm probably older than your father your voice is not ANNOYING. I just found your Channel you have mad skills anybody that thinks your voice is annoying can just FO. please keep doing what your doing :)

I don't know what that person on Low Notes was talking about. I've seen a few of your videos now, and I think you have a great voice.

love David

So in love with your reactions!!! I was hoping to see some Homefree reactions but I see none!? you should 100% react to Homefree! A good starter is Ring of Fire, My Church or Alabama Sampler! Once you react to Homefree, the home fries will follow!!

David is obviously a highly trained vocalist.

David would never use auto tune dudes just that good-respect

i grew up in kentucky.. what part of northern ky? i am from bowling green... this song and behind blue eyes by the who were my 2 fav songs as a kid

listen to live version from CONAN show he had a fever at the time and was not happy with his voice but he realy performed live.

Nice work. I like the identification of the notes as they were sung. If you want to check out an amazing singer, react to Nightwish Ghost Love Score 2013 Waken Open Air Live.

I love how David chooses to use consonance and not verbs...much nicer

Well my love. You most definitely need to check out one of the phenomenal voices on the planet. John Farnham is amazing. The Voice, Age of Reason, basically any song, live or studio, will blow your mind😊😊 Just BTW thats his voice, he can do it live.

Listen to the live version on Conan and your opinion of the studio magic with fade away. Or attend a concert of theirs. Or listen to the live version where Myles Kennedy joins him on stage.

Did you ever do the Conan Performance. Much better to react.

I don't think that Disturbed "Sound of Silence* is the granddaddy of vocal coach reactions, it's probably one of the Trifecta of Vocal Coach reactions, the the Granddaddy a vocal coach reactions is " Pisces" by Jinjer. As a vocal coach I feel that you will be totally blown away by the lead singers vocal abilities!

Draiman does not use autotune!

If you have not yet viewed Pisces by Jinjer, please can you do a reaction video 😄

Should take a look at Voiceplay or Home Free. Both acapella groups that are amazing!

How can you listen to his voice when you’re so busy thinking and talking? Genuine question.

I love the (2 minutes tutorial) idea. It is educational even though I don't major in Music. I'm just a guy who loves to sing and doesn't play any instrument. In my opinion, I don't prefer using distortion especially when belting cause it doesn't feel comfortable. This is just a thought guys please don't bash me. Haha. Love from Malaysia. Please react to Malaysian singers more. Dato Seri Siti Nurhaliza, Ziana Zain, Jaclyn Victor, Misha Omar etc

See the Conan Live performance. Flawless!

I believe the Grand daddy of reaction videos is "Pisces" by Jinjer. But, this song is a close second.

When you get to Home Free, I’ll be back.

Please try Super Vocal version of this song, it's super amazing

Regarding the "studio magic", you have to check out the live performance on Conan O'Brien. As others have said, it's even better.

INDONESIA still Here, i lOVE YOUR CHANEL

This isn't a negative comment, but if you're gonna talk about autotune, even though there isn't very much at all, watch the live version, its arguably better.

David studied with Melissa Cross to perfect his sustainable healthy grit.

no auto tune.

this song is also available on Conan live performance

Oh... Matt... :-( I wish you would have done the live version of this song... I typed this before you said you thought some magic had been done... he actually does this song BETTER live... watch the Conan O'Brien version of it....

David Draiman does not use auto-tune

Watch the Conan live version dude also have a look at hold on to memories

I dont know why your voice makes you look so handsome to me hahahahahah

The video starts after 4:40

How can you react to music without wearing headphones? Don't you miss all the subtleties that just the year does not pick up? Also you cut off The 1st 10 seconds or so of the video which sets up the entire rest of the video

🤩🤟🏽😍🤟🏽🤩🤟🏽

I think the live performance on Conan is just as clean, and perhaps even more moving.

David was classically trained as a Cantor and has been singing heavy metal for the last 20 years... From that deep fry, he cleans it immediately!

please react to inside the fire....

After I heard "WA-A-AH" I had to give a like

Should have reviewed the live on Conan

Try this version Henk Poort - Sound of Silence | Beste Zangers 2019 -- kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p8VyfcR-krvWiJc.html

Listen to Iron Maiden Phantom of the Opera, and compare Bruce to Paul!!

Brooks & Dunn Believe

Lisen to Chris kläfford. Cold at the alter. Hos bin ön amerikans got talent. Amacing covern off imageien.

Cem Adrian - Summertime 2018 live performance please 🙏

As a lover of both original Simon and Garfunkel versions of this song, I have to say... This is good. But Pentatonix took it to another level.

Maybe try another kind of this song: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rpxdZaiDlq-6qqM.html. Hope you will like it.

Does this mean you have not done Bad Wolves Zombie? And yes, much older than you and British

Do you know he is , was a Coloratura?

0:28 - Oh, no, no no... Don't get me wrong, Disturbed is amazing, this cover is phenomenal but the only real granddaddy of reactions is *Nightwish - Ghost Love Score (Live at Wacken 2013)* followed buy *Jinjer - Pisces (Live Session)* , both which you haven't reacted to yet, but it's ok, there's still time. Mark this comment, you won't regret it.

Thx for explaining how he gets that grit. I’ve heard others explain it but I didn’t really understand.. not a singer. 👍🏼
