hey chris liepe here do you want to find the best tone for your voice your ideal sound are you tired
of not liking the sound of your voice and thinking that your tone is flat stop trying so hard
stop trying and start experiencing your voice in very simple intimate ways i've got a story for you
about kurt cobain and how he created a great song out of an experience great recording too
rather than trying to create something great with his voice
if you like my methods my approach to singing in general and you'd like to go deeper with me with
me as your coach and you as my student click the link below and join my free voice course there's
lots of ways that we can work together from there that's the best place to start all right
when kurt cobain was recording something in the way he was really really frustrated in the studio
he was trying to make something work and it really really wasn't working
and so he ended up just kind of throwing his hands up going and laying on a couch and what
i believe was the back of the control room someone will have a better more accurate version of this
uh out there and you be sure to share it with me but what happened was butch the producer
ended up just hanging a mic over him he had his guitar kurt cobain had his guitar on the
on the couch and was playing with it they hung a mic over him and he started singing and just
sort of being in the moment muttering what we hear as one of the most amazing songs on
the never mind album and then the other band members took this performance that
he had on the couch and they started adding things around it the drums the cello stuff
like that it was difficult for them because the the tempo was just really fluid and and usually
you would record the drums and then you'd record you know all sorts of things that that made it
more difficult but they got it because they captured this this moment where kurt wasn't trying
he was being he was experimenting and so i want to take this song or part of it and encourage you to
do the same most of the time when we're trying to get good tone or good anything out of our voices
we pursue goodness in pitch or power or we want to hit that high note or we want even if we want
good tone we pursue goodness and that pursuit ends up keeping us from experiencing our voice
and the irony of the whole thing is we're only going to have a good voice
if we are first experiencing the voice we have in new and engaging ways for ourselves
the minute we focus on the pursuit of goodness we do not we deny ourselves the chance to experience
i know this sounds a bit but it's really really true so i want you to take this
track you can find this track on cc karaoke just type it in links on the in the description as well
i want you to practice singing some of these verses and the chorus and instead of thinking
about good tone good pitch good anything i just want you to feel the vibrations
coming out of your face have your face very limp very engaged only in the fact that you feel it
something in the way feel the vibrations and then let your voice let your whole
body and being lean into these vibrations this is the way you discover great tone
initially out of your voice period it it can go in lots of other different ways
once you've done this but if you don't start here with a pure simple easy experience
you won't get there trust me i've worked with so many people who don't get there unless
they do this and i am one of those people i've worked with myself and this is the key it's okay
something in the way
it's okay
sensing what is happening
i'm doing things that are
i'm easy
through the words and i'm interacting with the consonants and i'm not pushing my voice at all i'm
zeroing in on how it feels and i can't add more intensity but it's
only as i'm keeping my mind on feeling what's happening
in other words i have no goals i have no goals of hitting anything i have no goals
of sounding a certain way i only have the goals of getting lost in the feeling of my own voice
when you get lost in the feeling of your own voice your tone your best tone reveals itself
don't believe me try it and don't just do it the first time and then listen back to yourself
and say i hate my tone still this doesn't work get into it do it over and over again until you
create this sort of trance environment for yourself immerse yourself in the simplicity of
this song by going to cc karaoke's youtube channel and partaking and then click the other link below
