I've gotten lots of requests from this one across all ways I communicate with you guys
my Facebook group YouTube channel emails courses private lessons I hadn't heard of Ren I have
not listened to anything but that's partly why I love doing what I get to do I teach
you guys how to sing some things you guys turn me on to all sorts of great music I am
guessing by the reviews that I have heard from my students that I'm not going to be
disappointed this is a singing Channel I get to teach people how to sing I tend to stop
and start offer insights into what's going on in the music as well as my reaction to
hearing it for the first time because I'm forgetful I can't possibly remember all the
things I want to say at the very end if you have questions about your voice you'd like

I love the Raw sound of the way that this classical guitar has been recorded it is clearly
not mimed or punched or it's it's the real deal sounds like it's going Direct it's refreshing
[Music] thank you
[Music]
I was not expecting that at all I didn't really I guess I didn't really know what to expect
that is some amazing control [Music] that's a really hard thing to do to be able to have
those those glottal stops that's easy to do in chest voice but
that's a lot harder to do in your head voice it requires an extra degree of coordination
and over that vowel oh
that's that's even more difficult the way he has it placed forward like that with a
little bit of rasp really really fun texture hi there man it's been a little while did
you miss me before you buried me didn't you risky cause I always come back
since we spoke bro I know you need oh you know you need me listen to the character in
his voice I talk about this in my coaching programs all the time it is so much more important
for us to embody characters and yes I mean this video is is following along with that
you know he's in the the hospital gown and everything he's but he's embodying this Insanity
with his voice already so compelling I can't wait to see where it goes to be biting off
the hand that feeds me hi Bren I've been taking some time I've been taking some time to be
still I've been taking some time to be by myself since my therapist told me I'm Ill
and I've been making some progress lately and he turns to the uh so he's playing these
two different characters I have students do this kind of thing run these sort of musical
acting drills where they have musical conversations vocal conversations with themselves and they
put the melody in the back seat just to pull out different textures Timbers attitudes nuances
out of their voice it doesn't happen any other way learn from this guy learn so many coping
skills so I haven't really needed any much man I think we need to just step back and
chill ran you sound what we're saying than I do you think that those doctors are really
that's a guy driven through this a million times or civilian mind is so perfect they're
always being lied to oh I love how the lights go in and out there that's that's pretty cool
and notice how this character is more nasal it's not my nasalness
this time is different man trust me I feel like things might be falling in place and
my music's being kind of doing bits too like I actually might do something great and when
I'm gone maybe I'll be remembered for doing something special with myself that's why I
don't think that we should talk man because when you're with me it never seems to help
you think that you can amputate me I am you you are me you are I I am we We Are One splitting
two that makes one so you see you gotta kill you if you wanna kill me I'm not like I want
to kill you you you how he abandons up into his head voice just for a minute there there
is so much music going on here that you wouldn't necessarily say is music or right off the
bat but even how he scrunches his nose and brings the he's not thinking oh I better bring
my resonance and you know he's just being two different characters and he's letting
the experience that he's had with his voice in his own practice sessions who's into this
in a very special store storytelling type way your music is thriving delusional guy
where's your top 10 hit where's your interview with Oprah wow your crummies ran nowhere yeah
but my music's not commercial like that I never chase numbers statistics or stats I
never write hooks for the radio they never even blame me so why would I concern myself
with that but my music is really connecting and the people who find it respected and for
me that's enough because this life's been tough so it gives me a purpose I can resting
man you sound so pretentious ran your music is so self-centered no one wants to hear another
song about how much you hate yourself trust me you should be so lucky having me inside
here to guide you remind you to manage expectations provide you perspective nothing you neglected
I get it you wanna be a big deal next to me Hendrix forget it man it's not like that man
it's just like that I'm inside you you twice no it's not mine you're wrong when I write
I belong let me break the fourth wall by acknowledge oh how quickly he's going back and forth there
yes it is no it's not yes it is no it's not yes it is letting his voice free really go
in and out of different types of resonances while maintaining the character honestly this
is a master class in learning how to sing in a free way Ren sits down has a stroke of
Genius he wants to write a song that was not done previous a battle with this subconscious
Eminem did it played on guitar Plan B did it original you criminal fires the Pinnacle
of your success is stealing other people's material brand mate we've heard it all before
oh she sells seashells on the seashore [ __ ] you I don't need you I don't need to hear
this cause I'm flying by myself I'm a genius and I will be great and I will make waves
and I'll shake up the whole world beneath her that's right speak your truth your [ __ ]
God complex leaks out of you it's refreshing to ask for you say it instead of downplay
music is all about the creative process and if people can find something to relate to
within that then that's just a bonus [ __ ] you I'ma [ __ ] kill you [ __ ] kill me
then I [ __ ] have you right interesting how the different characters are are sort
of swapping values here it's cool cool writing let's do it watch me prove it over you to
download music because I call the shots I choose if you die yeah I call the shots and
so I choose to survive I'll tie you up a knots when I lock you inside
news flash I was created at the dawn of creation I am Temptation I am the snake in Eden I am
the reason for treason beheading all Kings I am sin with no Rhyme or Reason son of the
morning Lucifer anti-cry Father of Lies Mustafa leaves truth in the blender deceitful Pretender
the banished revenge of the righteous surrender when standing in front of my solar eclipse
my name is Stitch to your lips if you've ever felt locked inside your own voice or you felt
like your voice is boring you felt like you're stuck trying to hit notes that you want to
hit you're stuck trying to be good this is what you need to do you need to do this exactly
like Ren and don't worry about any of the technical aspects of singing don't worry about
being creative Let Yourself Go in multiple forms of expression over one context
you friend
foreign
like I haven't heard any other rents I don't know if this is a standard way that he he
rolls or [Music] I've been taking some time to be distant I've been taking some time to
be still yet another Rich comforting narrative sort of character composure I've been taking
some time to be by myself and I've spent half my life ill but just as sure as the tide starts
turning just as sure as the night has done just as sure as the rainfall soon one is dry
when you stand in an eye of a storm I was made to be tested and twisted I was made to
be broken and beat I was made by his hand little part of his plan that I stand on my
own two feet then you know me my will is eternal and you know me you've met me before face
to face with a beast I will rise from the East and I'll settle on the ocean floor and
I go by many names also some people know me as hope some people know me as the voice that
you hear when you lose hear how this character has developed it it started very very reasonable
and consoling and and his his vocal texture was sort of like I'm doing here and then it's
almost like a a calm voice of God and then it got a little bit more as he as he stood
up there was this it raised in pitch a little bit that it it got urgent there's a bit of
ick bit of twang happening in his voice interesting to hear how this character evolves again putting
this in the context of of normal singing even if you take two percent of what he's doing
here and you put it in your own voice when you're singing a Melody it's hard to do you're
gonna blow your mind in terms of how expressive you can be the news on the rope and you know
how I know that I'll Prosper cause I stand there beside you today I have stood in the
Flames the cremated my brain and I didn't once flesh or shape so carry the man I've
become when I sing from the top of my lungs that I won't retire I'll Stand in your fire
and spider make to be strong and when I am gone I will write in the music that I left
behind ferocious persistent Immortal are you a requirement to differences let's talk about
that no that is hitting up here
putting some heat on that nose
it's compartmentalized though listen again
arise you hear how each note has its own texture its own little story I've talked about this
in other videos but he's not trying to just flip a switch and have it all be one texture
this is coming naturally out of the way that he pursued those spoken characters right there's
this sense that all of the different remarks all the different narrations the different
characters that he's been portraying now become signified they become Musical and he's taking
that character mindset into his singing and it sounds incredible all those textures are
now part of his singing voice which is what makes his singing voice so interesting you
can't go the other way around you can't have oh I'm hitting all the notes and then try
to add character to you have to start with the character and then ease into the notes
make your characters musical don't try to add character to your music very important
distinction [Applause] [Music]
he's hitting notes he's going in and out of his voice his chest voice he's going in and
out of singing this is another important thing to take note of as of vocalist narrate through
your Melodies they will be better [Music]
[Music]
foreign
I wonder I I doubt it but he's got that little lapel on I don't think all of this is being
caught he's got to have some other mics in there um just the way he's being so Dynamic
with his voice it seems like that lapel wouldn't wouldn't quite catch all of that but whatever
just an observation
[Applause] [Music]
foreign
for some context let me know in the comments what I'm missing [Music]
when I was 17 years old I shouted out into an empty room into a blank canvas that I would
defeat the forces of evil and for the next 10 years of my life I suffered the consequences
with autoimmunity illness and psychosis as I got older I realized there were no real
winners and there were no real losers in psychological warfare but there were victims wow wow huh
and there were students it wasn't David versus Goliath it was a pendulum eternally swaying
from the dark to the light the more intensely that the light shine the darker the shadow
would cast this whole thing is coming from a real place and why he can embody all these
different Dynamics you gotta be yourself you got to be vulnerable this is the ultimate
invulnerability right here incredible it was never really a battle for me to win it was
an eternal dance like a dance the more rigid I became the harder It Go yes the more I curse
my Clumsy footsteps the more I struggled so I got older and I learned to relax and I learned
to soften and that dance got easier it is this eternal dance that separates human beings
from angels from demons from gods and I must not forget we must not forget that we are
human beings
I can't say it any better than that except to put what he said in the context of singing
the most vulnerable musical art form the stiffer the more calculated you try to be the more
you look at your voice as something to be a vehicle for achievement rather than experience
the more you're going to struggle the harder it's going to be the more frustrated you're
going to get let your voice Usher you into all Realms of experience and become a way
for you to express reality in ways that you can't express it any other way just like this
video demonstrated that's why this is so powerful that's why it's got millions of views it's
real it's vulnerable do the same with your own Art thank you everybody for pestering
me into watching this and reacting to it I look forward to experiencing much more Ren
in the future
