If somebody goes to sing Bruno Mars and it comes out like Dio then I would say that person has triumphed the art of singing.

Lesson number 1. Be born Chris Cornell. This concludes our lessons on how to sing like Chris Cornell.

"No one sings like you any more"

ONE DOES NOT SIMPLY SING LIKE CHRIS CORNELL

I just love Chris Cornell's voice, so I've built an alarm clock to wake me up with random selections of his screams. Chris Cornell Alarm Clock

Good video! Dude looks a bit like Daron Malakian from System of a Down!! XD

lol why am i watching this? I can't even sing

This is Chris Cornell in his later years after years of early grunge belting.. His vocals are scarred, and tired and he was still world class until the end. While you and others can reproduce his recent vocal range which I admit is fun and consoling and more importantly beautiful of anyone who wants to sound like him. His range in his early years was ridiculous and not many could reproduce it even nowadays... Damn fine voice you have there Daniel, I’m jealous...

You have a great voice man. Awesome job.

Step 1: Grow his hair. :)

wow, the best thing about this video, unlike others is that the guys actually sounds good. now i have something to work towards. thanks Daniel.

Alot of people fail to recognize just what kind of range Chris really has. You're going to have to be able to hit all the notes he can before you can even think about adding anything to the voice....and I've heard songs where he has spanned 3 octaves. Good luck.

Chris.... No one sings like you anymore....

At 4:23 you actually sound a bit like my ex wife when the topic about alimony comes up again.

Part 2: how to have your hair like Chris Cornell

Thanks Daniel. I'm a first and foremost a guitarist (playing 20 years), doing a bit of clean backing vocals... but as of today I've decided to try to up my game with a bit of vocal grit. It'll be interesting to see how far I can get in 6 months. Looking forward to checking out your other videos, cheers.

You naturally have a higher placement in your voice than the average male, that really relieves you from the effort of hitting the notes. I wish I had that.

If you could, I'd really love to see a how to sing like Scott Weiland video. His vocal styles interest me, the way he could belt husky and deep but also sing very soft and high, almost like a whisper. Thanks man!

I cannot stop watching this video over and over. You're a REALLY good coach. 👍

Thanks a lot, Daniel! Specially for the time you spent on couching us! Cheers!

Hey Daniel, after playing guitar for 25 years I've only just discovered Richie Kotzen. As well as being an awesome player, this guy can seriously sing! His voice sounds a bit like Chris Cornell. Have you heard him?

That was really awesome. You put into words the techniques I know but can't describe! A lot of Cornell's style is breath management, IMHO, and knowing when to "dig in" vs. "roll back".

You look like Daron Malakian from SOAD.

the way you sing in the mask which is my foundation after 10yrs of searching the mask helped me and i wanted to compliment you on the way you taught this lesson.

Big help man, nailing them high notes....Getting pretty decent with Chris Cornell's music...Wich is awesome, because what a inspiration he has been on me!

Thanks Daniel. I have been trying for months to achieve CC's massive high notes. after watching this and trying it clean I can already hear a difference in the way I sing it. You have an awesome voice and a new sub. Rock on.

yes it is different. i would write a book but everyone is different and needs to be taught a little diffently

Great tips! Just got into singing some AIC so the high notes were giving me trouble, but it's a good idea to get the notes clean at first and then add the rasp. Cheers!

Watching your videos from Colombia, you rocks!. Nice way to start singing like Chris Cornell, i think one of the best (and hardest to mimic) voices of the rock's world. And you make a great performance !!.

You fuckin' rock man. Your voice is absolutely amazing. And I learnt something new too. Liked that tip on the crescendo, very interesting. Again, you kick ass, keep that up!

Sad day today brother. R.I.P. Chris Cornell 1964 - 2017

I smashed that like button just 2 minutes into this video before it even got to what I was looking for. (And the rest of the video was great too!) Well done! :)

Singing it again after watching the video made a big difference... I will practice what you told me thanks a lot!

RIP Chris Cornell. Was only looking at your way to sing like Chris last week... and to think, now he's gone

From a gramp with an amp, really good tips.

this dude is cool. great approach to breaking down the vocals, unlike some other vocal tutorials I've seen on here. next song up, beyond the wheel. hehe ;)

Very very good lesson.

Thanks Daniel. You're very good.

U got me sir "oh i was better than i was without thinking about it". SUBSCRIBED!

My weaknesses is vibrato, which you have. I got the distortion, I think. When you sing clean, it's not all in the throat, but to sing like Chris, a lot of head voice and muting with his mouth and teeth.

great video- love the vibrato in your voice!

I have taken a lesson with Daniel and he is great. I need to take some more lessons as I got a lot out of the lesson. Nice guy too.

thanks Daniel. it's obvious that you know what a you are talking about. it's very helpful for me . cheers

Thanks so much! I knew it was you...that is such a classic tune! I should have known! I play it on piano all the time! Thanks so much for the reply! 🎹

You're really amazing man! Big, big thumbs up. And thanks for the help.

Dude, you are awesome! Super talented! Thank you for sharing these videos, they have explained a lot that I have been trying to figure out on my own.

Wow, thank you so much sir for these lessons! It never crossed my mind that I should to do it clean first before i make it dirty! That made so much senses and helped so much.

Awesome. And awesome singing.

INCRIVEL

I am 11 years old and I am a HUGE Audioslave fan and my favorite song is I am the highway this helped me sing that much better

Cool man, I'm a guitar player that has always wanted to make my singing better. Good analogies and explanations dude.

Fucking fantastic teaching. Love the demo ofcourse...So incredible...but particularly love how u mention at each step that student should be aware of their current ability and how long it may take between each little step (watched the bon jovi one also). Personally I don't like the way Chris pronounces (too hard to understand), but I love love how you do it and Bon does it.

I found this very very helpful. I totally agree with this guy. Please make a "How to sing like Dave Grohl" Video. Kudos!

This is brilliant. This resonated on a seismic level. I am just not quite able to contain what I've discovered here! The only shame is not having discovered this sooner. Can't wait to consciously practice this, no one has conceptualized for me what I've been discovering and learning for myself for many years. It has been very much like you described - there are moments when you feel the voice has reached a higher level and you're consciously aware of it, aware of being able to do more with less effort. A bit of effort doesn't sound too bad though :) I'd like to also share a tip, but it's a bit "out there". And it is that my best singing happened during my most relaxed or elevated state...not much thinking. But the thing is, one who is in such a state knows it....well, I consciously do - and the singing in this state is like nothing you ever sing when you're stuck in thought all day. In this state it's not just singing, it's the whole reality - it's genuine. I've noticed for many years this phenomenon of singing better when you're singing along in a concert, or in a club somewhere after having had a few drinks. It's something that relaxes the mind, and that's the root of it - relaxing the thought process to the minimum, no thought at all if possible. Then whatever one does, is this perfection flowing in that moment...as someone else put it, infinite stillness and movement simultaneously. Anyways, long ramble... This (video) is awesome. Thanks a bunch man.

I'm working on my vocal now, your video is very inspiring for me) thanks you very much:)

YOur video helped me alot thank you soooooo much you're one rocking teacher

Great voice. Great lesson.

my fave!

Great video Dan. Cornell is a great one. Is it possible there may be some singers who cannot do this sound at all?

Sings like a bad Ass. Kudos to the guy.

Thanks man, very helpful video I liked it a lot...peace out

very nice. ... 👍

Great video brotha.

Awesooooooome!

Nice video thanks

Nice video dan

Awesome transition friend, (clean to distort) great voice and lesson :D

Awesome tips man thanks that helps a lot.! !

Love you!

well a couple ways to raise the palate do like a ngee yah or k before a vowel or even hold your nose and sing an ee into it all the sound in the nose then release to an ah and make all the sound go back towards the back of your head. hope that helps..

I have been compared to Chris Cornell and Ozzy and others, But I sound and deliver my sound like me. You not helping us sound or sing like him. You are showing us natural skills God given.

Wow brother, awesome vocal range... New subscriber.

This is kinda a lot to ask, but would you be willing to make a short video on just you singing a bit of Nimrods Son by the pixies, and tips on how to do the scream at about :50 seconds? I'm a female vocalist who has only been singing for about a year, and I'm in a Pixies cover show in a couple months, but have no idea how to go about getting the same tone and raspiness to my voice as Frank Black. My voice is pretty clean toned. And yes I surely do plan to do your 15 minute free lesson thing as well! I'd appreciate the help so much. You are incredible!!

super tip. thx

The points about how to get better are spot on. However, it's tough to expand a vocal range. Its' almost a different game entirely, although you touched on several important points here. I'd say Bon Jovi would be possible for most mortals, others more so (a band like Weezer with no range, or a lower range like Clapton). But Cornell, man, that's a tough one. I generally transpose his stuff, as would most club/bar musicians over the age of 23.

nice voice

3:10 easy for YOU to hit with your low tenor range. What about deep baritone range? Just sing every day and work on range for 3 years I guess.

You're a very good coach.

Awesome

great range brother
