hey Chris Liepe here many of you have recommended this artist and particularly this video based on
all the joy I have gotten out of experiencing ad do music lately Amir I think that's right
I couldn't find a direct pronunciation please correct me on if I'm saying that
wrong the first take let's see what we got and what sorts of Inspirations come about o
[Music]
okaye [Music] okay I want to go back before we get too far into this and
just make a few observations first of all I love the nature of these
the first take videos the rawness the acoustic instruments super
fun [Music]
you can tell she has a fantastic command over the Dynamics in her voice even though this isn't
an incredibly Dynamic part of the song even in those first few notes you hear lots of different
Dynamics happening listen [Music] again of course I'm exaggerating to make a point but
she goes from a heavier sound to a lighter sound as she's making that Ascent with her range a less
experienced seasoned and interesting vocalist would just go not be attentive to the Dynamics
at all she's probably not thinking about Dynamics as she's singing this but how she's practiced and
how she's experienced her voice up till this recording has helped her create this level of
dynamic awareness without even thinking about Dynamics I know that sounds weird but it's so
true if you're interested in singing and would like to develop more character and freedom in
your own vocals click the link below and join my free singing course and I'll help you develop the
fundamentals necessary to be truly expressive with your [Music] singing being pretty up there
in terms of energy you can hear that Brasher more belted sound but listen right before
[Music] it she has a lot of contrast here this is what makes her voice so interesting
and like draws you in from the very first few notes there's so much going [Music] on
she gets
rasping dumps a little bit more air when she's lower that's a fun and interesting
[Music] characteristic
she has a very seamless transition between her head voice and chest voice listen there
she's hitting the same note in chest voice and then hits it again in head voice but
it's still very well supported you can tell she's making these choices to further that
Variety in the performance not because she has to hit that note in head voice [Music]
so we have that chest voice thicker weightier note on that note and then over a different
vowel she's unapologetically head voice they sound great they sound very [Music] different
[Music] I love how her voice tends to go from this husky bigger sound
to brighter and playful I don't think I've heard that in many
voices it's it's more than just her facial posture uh or how she's shaping
her vowels there's a lot going on from an airflow management perspective too that's
allowing her to be have this sort of power and authority in her lower range really
compelling
[Music] beautiful love that halftime quality that the music adopts there allowing her to float over 0:05:59.480,1193:02:47.295 [Music]
it with the faster rhythms vocally and notice what she's doing with her vocal rhythms it's
easy when a band goes to half timee to rush as a vocalist over that but she's pulling back the
Rhythm in a in a very professional way [Music] there there's that snare she's letting that held
back snare because of that halftime Groove still lead her through and then she's going to go more
on the front of the beat like she was earlier when the band was also pushing their pocket
a bit more these are the subtle aspects of an incredible vocal performance that many people
don't notice the massive rangy notes and the screams and really quirky stuff gets noticed
obviously because it's so much more in your face but simply being attentive to how your
voice is laying over and interacting with the groove and the music that's a really difficult
thing to get right and you really only notice it if someone's doing it really wrong but in
this case because of that halftime occurrence in the music you really get a sense of like oh
she could either really make this awkward or it could be really awesome she's making it awesome
[Music] right that was
cool notice how she played with her resonance her placement there it was really forward and there
and back resonating more around the soft pallet area as opposed to just always up here [Music]
you know another reason I really like like these types of performances is because it's
all about the music don't get me wrong I love live shows and pyot technices and costumes and
great music videos with awesome storylines and production I love all that stuff but the
fact that none of the instrumentalists or the vocalists they don't have to be attentive to
any of that stuff it's all about the take it's all about the the performance from a
musical standpoint none of this other stuff matters and so they're they're able to sort
of go inside themselves and really experience their voice or their playing without having to
worry about engaging the audience like they're engaging The Audience by default because of
how they're experiencing their own craft it's it's a different genre but I really appreciate
it o that was cool really bringing out her vocal break [Music]
there most vocalists are scared to death of their vocal break and try to avoid it at all costs or
blend it she does a good job of blending it in other places but that was cool it was an
INT use of that pagio briding very [Music] cool again there and she even went way down in in uh
in tamber there G G experiment with some of this stuff in your own voice if you sing and you will
free all sorts of things you'll expand your range you'll be way more playful with your voice and
free of tension if you're willing to go there with your voice go the way she brought her tamber down
lowered her larynx there for just a second and brought the pitch down even more than the target
note she was going for and then little abandoned up like that was really cool listening again
[Music] that was cool [Music]
sounding a little bit of a growl just a little
bit [Music]
cool wow solid performance and full of all kinds of variety thank you so much for this
recommendation there's a lot we can learn from watching a performance like this and internalizing
some of the things that she does in her voice in our voice and again if you'd like more help
doing that with your voice click that link below and join my free course I think the number one
thing we can all take away from this performance is that variety can be subtle and sometimes when
it's subtle and it just AIDS the overall feel you get when you're listening that type of variety is
sometimes the most important way we can use our voice to artfully communicate if you liked this
video you'll love some of the videos I've done on Ado and taka from one okay rock
