How to speak like Freddie Mercury...
Add “Darling” at the end of your sentence
😂🤣😁
INNOCENT that could be mistaken for Mariah Carey tho
i always see this comment of "darling"
ok *darling*
+ dear + dearest
How to sing like...-
“Freddie stop kidding us, we know it’s you.”
Stop . He doesnt sing like Freddie
Ema Jašková just leave if you don’t like the video 🙄
Ema Jašková are you deaf? or have you just not listened to queen
@@itzrlymia0169 Yeah, well he sounds just like Freddie, if you listened to "Love of my Life" by Marc martel you know that when he says Love of my life it's amazing, i love him
@@emijaskova4780 Your right, he SOUNDS a lot like Freddie.
"How do you sound like Freddie?"
It's a kinda magic...
Hahaha🤣
Love it 😂
One flash of light, that shows the way
Well played. I pictured Christopher Lambert saying that in Highlander to Rachel the last time he saw her on his way to fight the Kurgan.
Marc: exists
Freddie's spirit: *Hippity hoppity, your body is now my property, darling.*
Hahahaha
Oof yeah but why can he not do what Mercury could? I mean sing beautifully and be a rock star?
@@pantelisdalezios811 lol harrrsssh but I asked my self the same question
@@lilachristy4657 Yeh, it is pretty obvious Martel will go nowhere further than imitating parts of Mercury's voice, sharing NOTHING with him in turn of appearance, charm, or mere ferocity of voice
@@pantelisdalezios811 because he’s not going for rock. he does like christmas music or like michael buble type music… not rock get your facts right before you make a statement
can you grow a mustache ?
busta cake oh yeah yeah
I see u every places buddy
"Yeah, and pop some teeth in darling"
czcams.com/video/6n3pFFPSlW4/video.html here you can see him he have moustache like really freddie mercury
@@scottlloydamey6154 "and punch those bitchy little cords up to the heavens"
I love how he’s just talking and then randomly blasts out these insane notes and then goes back to talking as if nothing happend
Paula Kreuzer hahahaha I thought this
Same 😂
Well for him, it's completely normal
He is so gifted.
How to sound like freddie Mercury:
-look like him
Wtf he looks nothing like Freddie dude😂
@@in_light_in_me dat jaw lookin pretty similar dude and them teeth 2
The proved that freddies structure of.his mouth and sinuses are why he was able to sound how he did. They proved if he "fixed his teeth" it wouldve messed up his sound. This guy genuinely has extremely similar structuring even with the way his teeth are in his mouth even if hes not an exact look alike it's absolutely why he can pull it off an no one else can despite having great voices.
fatflapssmith Marc definitely had his teeth fixed, there’s old videos from the early 2000’s of Marc where he had a bit of an overbite and you can hear that Marc has a lisp because he still has a bit of that overbite
@Great King Rat why you so toxic ik you probably don't like marc martel but you don't have to go in every comment section calling people dumbasses ok you've been doing this for months
“It’s a genetic thing. Thanks mom and dad” is Freddie your parents? 😱😂
Is Freddie your parents??
Really get an English lesson
Crinja you are the one who should get an english lesson ..
The fuck is a la
Offical Bass a typo fuckhead
But then getting a whole sentence isn’t
Crinja Stfu Grammer Nazi
MisterMro grammar sped
"I've never taken voice lessons" Alright, what the fuck? Now that's just extraordinary.
Disgusted Batman It’s possible to sing pretty good without lessons
I’ve never taken lessons and recently discovered I can sing quite well. I was always shy and afraid to actually sing in front of people until I got a bit drunk one night.
Neither did Freddie
He then proceeds to talk about what vocal coaches say to do, and reinforces those ideas, so.... who needs official lessons when theres youtube I guess. Ha!
Disgusted Batman i too never take voice lessons.
How did i do High Hopes by Panic! At The Disco in one take?
And Don’t Stop Me Now?
And Bohemian Rhapsody?
And Radio Ga Ga?
And more?
Can you do a video when you do “Aayyyoo”
Yes!! I really want to see that! Aayyoooo!
Aaayyyyooooo
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYOH
_ayo yrorero_
EEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOO
I know I'm about 5 years late to the party but Marc is absolutely correct about singing from the diaphragm. Its the first thing any singer or vocal coach worth his salt will tell you.
You HAVE to project your voice to sing like Freddie Mercury. His vocal style needs it or it just won't be convincing.
And however subtle it is, Mark really does have a facial bone structure similar to Freddie Mercury's and that makes it a lot easier for him to do these songs than it is for us mere mortals.
I close my eyes and I can see Freddie singing 😊
Marc WAS used in “Bohemian Rhapsody”. Not as an actor but, as a singer.
For which songs
@@nodienoswore2424 Almost every song, if I can remember, but most notably in the opening song in the movie; Somebody To Love
Literally everyone knows that
C F nah, all of their concerts voices were by the real concert queen voices. They copy the sounds and paste it in the movie
So basically they are just lip syncing
He’s the closest I’ve heard in 45 years of listening to Freddie and seeing him live
I'm doing math as quickly as I can, but in 45 years the closest to Freddie Mercury as you realized is Marc Martel? I only assume that you're discounting Freddie Mercury who has only been dead for just 27 to 28 of those afore mentioned 45 years.
Lanis DeRosa 45 accumulated years! It doesn’t mean I listened to Freddie 24/7 now does it bright girl.....
Great King Rat 🐀
Some folk will take offence at anything, I met a bloke with no legs this morning while at the bus stop, all I asked was ‘How are you getting on?
Now, I’m joking.
Great King Rat 🐀
A DNA test needs to be done. This kid has a strong family resemblance to Freddie. The jaw, nose, ears, eyebrows. And that voice! Freddie's sister Kashmira could help since she is Freddie's full blood sister. I've pondered many a night on this.
Story about Freddie's voice changing through the years is fascinating.
He is so kiiiind 😩😭😭😭
He actually helped in the making of the new Bohemian Rhapsody movie about Queen in the singing parts and they mashed up his and Freddie’s voice and the actor that plays Freddie - for anyone that wanted to know x
That's awesome if that's true!
Even in one of the interviews he mentions that he has contributed to the movie
That’s not true. Search it up. The complete original vocals of freddie of his recordings are used
This is true
Watch this czcams.com/video/DOgFDWfo_wI/video.html
I always wondered why Freddie sounded so different all the time...sometimes feminine, then later on much more masculine. What an amazing and accurate description coming from Marc. Spot on!!!
Never_mind_me It’s_just_kaitlindeguiseppi the more space in the mouth has already been proven inaccurate considering Freddie had teeth work done in the late 80’s (it’s true look it up) what was actually happening was that Freddie was using a technique called sub harmonics and it’s typically only used by Tibetan throat singers or masterful bass/baritone singers. But when Freddie has his lack of ability to sing, he pushed so hard on his vocal chords that he ended up releasing the chord that comes with su harmonica into his natural singing state, it’s the same reason he has such a crazy vibrato, it was that unused chord letting loose in his throat as he sang and Marc has slowly but surely been mastering it as well

The Curious Case of Freddie Mercury's Teeth
Do a search on Freddie Mercury, and one of the first auto-fill suggestions that Google will give you is "freddie mercury teeth." It seems Freddie's famous overbite was just as legendary as the man himself, and the story that's been told countless times about his mouth is that it contained four extra teeth.
Many people claim all four of them were on the top jaw and that these teeth were responsible for pushing out his front ones into a prominent overbite. According to Queen folklore, Freddie didn't want to have the extra teeth removed or try to have the overbite fixed because he was worried doing so could possibly change the sound and range of his voice.
But, after diving deeper into this story as well as viewing numerous photos and videos showing Freddie's teeth, I'm not so sure that four extra ones actually existed. Like so many other facets of Freddie's personal life, it's hard to know what is and isn't true.
So, if you can bear with an unusual post from a rabid Queen fan, here's what we do (and don't know) about Freddie Mercury's teeth.
Freddie's Complicated Relationship With His Teeth
First, let me say that I personally don't see anything "wrong" or unattractive about Freddie Mercury's teeth. For starters, I have a bit of an overbite myself. My two front teeth are a little on the large side and I have slight spaces between some of my front teeth. Before I became a huge fan of his, sometimes I didn't like the way my teeth looked, and I even contemplated getting Invisalign at some point to correct the slight gaps.
Then I became a Queen fan and realized if Freddie was comfortable smiling and opening his mouth wide while singing, I didn't have anything to feel self conscious about.
And therein lies a contradiction about how Freddie felt about his smile and what he showed us on the stage. Freddie Mercury seemed to have had a complicated relationship with his teeth. According to Rami Malek, who played him in Bohemian Rhapsody, Freddie was cruelly called "Bucky" by schoolmates because of his teeth.
Sometimes he would bring his upper lip down to try to cover them and during several interviews he puts his hand up to his mouth to try to hide his teeth when something makes him laugh hard.
via GIPHY
Numerous people who were close to Freddie have said that he was really self conscious about the overbite. But on stage and in music videos, he had no qualms about opening his mouth wide and even throwing his head back to unleash that astounding voice that sounded like it was summoned directly from the gods.
via GIPHY
BUT...we do know that Freddie said many times that his stage persona and the real him were not the same person. He was very confident and extroverted while performing while sometimes a little shy away from the spotlight. Nonetheless, the fabulous teeth were always on full display when he was singing.
And, there are plenty of photos of him online smiling and you can't really tell from a majority of these pictures that there was something different about his teeth. The overbite really isn't all that noticeable except in a handful of them, and it's not necessarily an overbite I consider unattractive (I've seen much worse.) In fact, I've only seen maybe three or four photos showing him smiling in such a way that it makes his front teeth look especially prominent and two of them are from his childhood and teen years. It's also as if his front teeth were oversized but then he grew into them as he matured into adulthood.
The infamous mustache, in my opinion, also worked extremely well for him and helped "hide" the overbite.
Two "Extra" Bottom Teeth?
In the movie Bohemian Rhapsody, Freddie reveals to Roger Taylor and Brian May shortly upon meeting them that he has four extra incisors. "More space in my mouth means more range," he tells them.
Only we don't know if he really did have four extra incisors. One thing I did spot from watching music videos is he had two noticeable teeth on the bottom that are out of place. They're right in front of the row of bottom teeth. Below is a screenshot for Queen's "Headlong" video where you can really see them.
At first I thought, "Cool! This does seem to confirm the extra teeth story." (And they make him look like a sexy vampire.) Unfortunately, those two teeth may not be extra ones but simply two misplaced ones that didn't have room to go where they were supposed to go. When I posted the screenshot to Quora at least one dental hygienist and another person who may have been a dentist said they were misplaced teeth due to crowding. The clue is that he has a bicuspid right next to the four bottom middle teeth.
Further complicating the extra teeth theory is a fan on a Queen Facebook group page I belong to said they read that Freddie had all four of his wisdom teeth (I didn't ask them where they read it, but perhaps it's in a biography.) His mouth was large enough and the wisdom teeth came in straight so he didn't have to have them removed (fun fact! This is another teeth trait I have in common with my favorite performer.)
So, while wisdom teeth aren't considered "extra" teeth (although many adults need to have theirs extracted) it's possible this factoid got twisted into the "four extra teeth" story that circulates about Freddie to this day.
And it's also still possible that Freddie did have extra teeth in the back on top in addition to the two wisdom teeth up there. Photos and videos I've seen so far don't show anything "extra" on top but we're not seeing all of the way back in his mouth, so who knows.
Having extra teeth is a real dental condition, by the way. It's known as hyperdontia and the extra teeth are called supernumerary ones. As it can be a genetic condition, some sources have speculated that Freddie inherited it from his mother's side of the family (if he did indeed have it.)
Freddie's Fear of the Dentist
So, you would think that if you're the biggest rock star on the planet and you're VERY concerned about wanting to keep all of your teeth to maintain your voice, that you would be going to the very best dentist in London every six months for a cleaning and check-up, right?
Not when it came to Freddie Mercury.
Something that I recently learned about Freddie that really surprised me is that he had a dental phobia. I suspect a lot of it had to do with the braces he wore as a kid on his teeth that were described as "painful" by at least one biography on him.
It could also be he was worried a dentist would try to start to fix his overbite while he was sedated having other work done. People who are afraid of going to the dentist may also don't like the loss of control they feel while they're held sort of captive in the dentist's chair.
Whatever the reason, poor Freddie, like so many of us, was not a fan of dentists. He even says so in this scanned Q&A page I found online that came from 16 magazine (check out his answer to what his greatest fear is.) Never mind that local anesthetic and laughing gas were readily available in the '70s and '80s.
And...uh-oh; look at what he answered for "favorite foods." That's not a good idea, Fred!
Roger Taylor (who, ironically, was about to study dentistry when Queen was formed) also says in a documentary that he believes it was fear that kept Freddie from looking into fixing his overbite.
Despite all this (and a heavy smoking habit starting in the early '80s...!!!) the man had what was absolutely pristine (and white!) looking teeth. There's no visible cavities or even any dental work in any video of him singing or photos showing his mouth open wide. No doubt his at-home oral care was exemplary.
***UPDATE: As a commenter on this post noted, Freddie did get some silver fillings on a few upper teeth done at some point and since she left that comment, I have seen one photo of him singing that shows a small one.
In Hutton's memoirs he did write Freddie did go once a year for cleaning and hygiene.

I swear, this man must be from planet Mercury...
No just stop
I’ve never felt so hurt by a joke😂
😂😂😂😂😂 how tje heck did i not think of that
@@lewissowerby3844 DON'T STOP (HIM) NOWWW
He’s got here by traveling at the speed of light.
Wow! He’s sooo close to FM’s voice. It’s amazing how his skull structure could be so close to FM. Well done.
Step 1: Be the reincarnation of Freddie Mercury
Step 2: Be Marc Martel
Disguise yourself by changing name to Marc Martel*
HUMUNGUSGORLAMI I hope you know that Marc was 16 when Freddie died
RealDealproductions I hope you know that my comment is merely a joke and yes I kinda figured Marc was probably around at least before 1991
Isn't it the same?
step 1 and step 2 are the same thing,no?
How to sing like Freddie Mercury:
First, have a kind of magic.
Second, be a little silhouette-o of a man.
Third, find somebody to love
Fourth, never forget that the show must go on
Fifth, never break under pressure
@@brandonliddle3419 sixth, make sure you never bite the dust
I can go high, I can go low, but I can NEVER imitate those subtones consistently. Some days I can, others I sound like a dying horse. You go, Marc!
No, bro. You were born with that voice. It's a natural voice you've got. Even a person copy or do like Freddie's voice, it's not gonna be the same as yours. Keep it up, brother! I salute you. You kept Freddie alive!
Amen!

How to sound like Freddie Mercury: Be Freddie Mercury
thanks that was helpful
Hobostarr180 how to sound *LIKE.* Freddie.
And you said *BE.* Freddie.
Bruh, tf?
Giro 13 It was basically a joke that his voice was one in a million and the only way to truly sound like him is to be him.
Giro 13 r/wooosh
Little is mentioned about exactly WHY you sound like Freddie... It's the vibrato. You have the same intensity and frequency. Your pitch and the attack and ending of your vibrato is basically perfect.
TheTrooper 98Vlog like he said, he has never had any vocal lessons and he doesn’t know a lot of the terminology, he focuses on how Freddie puts emotion into his singing which is the most important part and what Marc was trying to get across.
Thx captain obvious. What a clever, wise and an insightful analysis. Pls, don't miss the sarcasm.
Hi marc I wanted to let you know I’ve only just discovered you after being diagnosed with tinnitus and unable to sleep at night my favourite group a queen and I was a big fan of Freddie and in order to take my mind off of the terrible noise in my head I’ve been listening to you so you are a gift from God thank you so much
Ngl but you are looking like him ... Omg ❤️
"kinda like an angry violin" 😂
look at all those chickens he’s not wrong though 😂
Great King Rat bro quit following me lol 😂
Dude you’re so pathetic it’s funny that you keep replying you must care about what I have to say that much it’s nice to know you like reading my comments ✌🏽
Great King Rat I’m done have a nice life.
Great King Rat um no lol you hold off significance in my life and you just leave stupid comments thinking they’ll get a rise in people and sometimes your successful and other times you look like this. Sad and stupid and you still keep responding to me days after I’ve written my original message. It shows you don’t have a life and have nothing better to do but fill your ego by trying to make others feel like shit to replace the shit you feel inside. Again. Have a nice life dude and chill out you can’t speak for Freddie or anyone involved with Queen and can only have your opinions on a person just like anyone else, we all get it, you don’t like Marc. And I get that there’s cracked out fans of Marc sometimes but hey, there’s also people who don’t like Freddie and Adam or are cracked out fans for them and that’s gonna be with every artist, it doesn’t matter dude so just quick badgering people about their opinions of an artist. I believe Marc is a phenomenal performer and having met him personally he is such a kind genuine human being who wants to see people happy and he’s doing it to the best of his ability. And for me personally he’s doing a damn good job with his natural talent. Now you may entirely disagree and believe he sounds horrible and that’s fine man, to each their own. Cheers
When he talks he sounds like John Travolta. When he sings he sounds like Freddie Mercury.
When he talks he sounds like martel.. When he sings he sounds like martel.
Well, he is like Travolta to
Marvel DCStinger thank god he doesn’t sing like John travolta
To me he sounds like Dwight Yoakam.
When he talks he sounds like John Barrowman from Arrow, Torchwood and Doctor Who, but sounds like Freddie when he sings. Funny thing is he looks like a cross between John Barrowman and Freddie.
Noone can sing exactly like Freddie, he was special.
dayum son Nope
Marc is pretty damn close tho

Great King Rat he sounds like Freddie and you know it
4 jajajaaj
I wonder why didn't they cast you for 'Bohemian Rhapsody" movie.
probably because he's not an actor
I think they used Marc’s singing voice in some parts of the movie.
Rami Malek looks more like him IMO
Yeah, wasn’t he the sound alike they used, along with the original, blended with a little bit of Rami’s voice?
Touhid he looks differnent dumb ass
Freddie thanks for coming back to earth we missed you 💔♥️
And Marc can do this he is awesome
What makes it even cooler is the fact that you look like him a little.
A lottle!
May be he is Freddie's son?
he does , just got better teeth , but with the stash they are pretty damn similar.
Alanator . He sings like him, but don't look like him at all IMO.
Jeepman89 Indians and Caucasians look alike. And it doesn't matter what race he is. His bone structure!

70s Freddie and 80s Freddie are both so different but so perfect, the feminine sharpness of the 70s and the raw macho of the 80s.
you. have. never. taken. voice. lessons?
well i'll be damned.
Yup. I had the same reaction.
Some of the best singers had no voice lessons. It just comes naturally to some people. Usually people who take voice lessons are the ones having trouble singing.
@@thebatmanwholaughs219 We can all agree that he should have performed at the Oscars. For God's sake.. he worked on the movie doing various voice overs. He should have been at the Oscars.
@@dwight4k that would've been quite the moment in history!
@Your safe space or mine? Exactly, I agree. I've had very few lessons and I'm one of the better singers that I know. That sounds arrogant, but if you know anything about vocals, then you have to know what you're capable of.
At 3:52 I said "okay bud you've convinced me..." lol..
3:47
That was freaking awesome

4:48 EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAEEAAEEAAAY
I don't think this is going to make anyone sound like Freddy Mercury, but great analysis of these vocal types... Totally made my day.
Ya think?
Bradley Saunders yeah he said that at the beginning
It’s scary how exact you sound like Freddie at times. The way you can replicate the various years of his voice. If I close my eyes it’s as if you ARE him. I’m so happy the film had you on board for the acapella bits. The ‘happy birthday’ and ‘love of my life’ bits gave me chills. It honestly felt like they’d found long lost secret recordings of him.
I can see why they have Adam touring with them (I’ve seen him live and he’s fantastic, he really captures the showmanship that Freddie has without trying to be him). BUT. I do wish you could do one big recorded concert with Queen. I’d love to just close my eyes and imagine Freddie there as your voice is STUNNING. So SO good.
Again a dumb ass no one can sound like Freddy mercury this guy sounds good. But he's no Freddy Jesus christ
toby gaffney no one is saying he IS Freddie. He just has similar tones to him!
toby gaffney Damn, you almost got me with your bait, you should try to make it a little more believable
He sings several songs during the movie. Even the first song that sounds in the movie Somebody to love is singing by him
omg i thought they were him!! i had no idea it was marc!! woah omg that's so cool
Man, what really nailed it for you is your vibrato. So uncannily like Freddie.
Saw you in concert in Sacramento !!! You were awesome loved your dancing 😊I think your really cool .
No vocal training? That’s unreal. Amazing
He may have performed his own singing exercises early in life without really knowing.
Some ppl have natural talent, I’m good at Guitar and I never had a lesson in my life, you just have to listen to sound and mimic it.
@Wyatt Silva actually, he did
Pure natural talent
Singing by ear is key...get it?
Please grow Freddie's mustache I need it
You need it? WTF?! Grow your own damn mustache!😂
You need it , you grow it..
He meant he needed to see it on him

Holy macerole I CANNOT believe you’ve never taken a voice lesson before
lol
Great King Rat Jesus you’re boring
Great King Rat 😂😂 fucking deceased
Genetics, a good ear, and plenty of practice will get you far. I too am a huge fan of Freddy and get pretty damn close to his exact range and sound, my problem is the Teeth, my teeth are all straight, tho I do have a slight overbite, its hard to get some of his sounds down pat when I dont have his teeth, cause they play a huge part in the exact lay out of his words and the space his tongue and lips had for the formation of his words.
Great King Rat I bet youre fun at parties 😒

Great Job Marc,huge fan!
Discerning voices is sort of my super power. You can play a word or two to me and I can always ID who said it (as long as I know the voice). This guy is the first and only person I can say that sounds 90-95% perfect pitch Freddie Mercury. When I see people saying he does not sound like Freddie, I think they are either tone deaf or its some sort of hero-worship denial thing.
He definitely sounds like Freddie, but I'd put it in the 70-80% range. There are times when it's easy to see the difference, especially when you look at the expression
I like this dude. He's talented and seems like a decent person.
He is Canadian.
And he sings Christian Rock *YEAH*
He's very humble which is something that I like.

Freddy and Superman, actually.
True!

I love Freddie to pieces I will say this with as much respect as I can the congestion was probably easily explanainable....
I remember meeting you after a Downhere concert and was just in awe of how much you reminded me of Freddy that I mentioned it to you, which I'm sure wasn't the first time you've been told( especially these days). After my wife and I walked away, she scolded me for saying that to you. :) Oh well, wasn't the first time and won't be the last time I "embarrassed" her. Glad to see you are still embracing your God given talent.
I watched this video three times and still can't sing..... thanks for that mom and dad.
😆🤣
Mike Oxlong do you know how sad it is when your dad is a singer and plays piano (so good that he could live just from music) and me his daughter can‘t sing at all !!!
Hahahahahaha
I feel you, I tell the same to my parents lol. Love music but unfortunately have such a weak singing voice.
Juliet Jj I’ve missed you :)
No singing lessons, huh. My god... you have a gift. You help keep Freddie alive. I’m a big fan, Marc. I have been since your QE audition.
The way you broke all that down... 😮
I’m just floored. ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you!!!
Marc had to do this research as he was about to begin doing vocals for the Bohemian Rhapsody movie.
+Marc Martel Fans
Lol, Todd, at least after picking this fancy name, try to be somewhat realistic in your comments. Marc got the first call about the movie in December 2016 (see his facebok post from 28 July). This video was released already in October, so 100% sure it was not a result of a research for the movie
Rudeness IS Epidemic Marc did front his own band for over 10 years. So no formal voice lessons, but lots of experience. :)
He's also very similar omg
"He's Freddie's cousin Son"
*Don't say this to Marc, he doesn't need to know this*
Wat de fuk
Wait rll?
Great singers always have beautiful speaking voices, Fred did and so does marc
Little known fact. Marc does voice work for cartoons, most notably as foxy.exe in 5 Nights at Freddy's.
TheOfficialCMAN Freddie's English vioce was sexy
TheOfficialCMAN The exception, Ozzy!
No they dont. James Brown comes to mind.
Michael jackson didnt. Pretty dumb statement.
how to sound like Freddy mercury. step one: look like Freddie Mercury and Henry Cavill had a child.
Tristan Berke I didn’t see it until you mentioned it and now I can’t unsee it.
Wow, this is exactly what I thought!

FREDDIE
0:27 I think we know who that actor is.. ;)
Rami Malek?
Rami!!!!!😱😱😱😱😱😰😩😰😩😰😩😂
Adam Lambert
Back then rami was not considered yet, it was probably Sasha Baren Cohan
It's Rami Malek lol
This is yes. But Marc has a magnificent voice in his own way; he cannot be confused with any other voice. I don’t really like it when Marc is compared to Freddie or they say that he imitates him. Martel is a separate human, a magnificent and very cool singer, and he sings in his beautiful and divine way. This is what I loved Marc Martel for.
He imitates Freddie and this is where it started.
"...I have always been a natural mimic. I just loved imitating voices that I enjoyed listening to .... George Michael, Freddie Mercury, Jeff Buckley, Bono ..... I would listen closely trying to get the vocal tone just right .... and I would do that until I felt like I could do a believable impression....."----Marc Martel
@@sasha07775 I understood that perfectly. But at the concert between the songs, Marc said that he was a little hurt. It's just that he is constantly being spoken about and this worries. The fact that Marc is perceived only as a person similar to Freddie, and not as a separate person. After all, he himself is worth a lot.
This is purely my point of view.
@@user-me4iv9fy9s Playing the sympathy card? Priceless.
He put himself where he's at, no one else did that. He not only vocally imitates Freddie, but also copies many of his signature stage movements. So if oyu want to perceived as a separate person. you distance yourself from those comparisons, not align yourself with them.
@@sasha07775 Everyone has their own opinion. I think so, and you are different. I do not want to continue this argument
@@user-me4iv9fy9s Are you arguing because I wasn't. I was merely stating if you want tube known as an individual then you do your own thing, not copy someone else. Not rocket science.
Absolutely love this analysis of Freddie’s voice change over the years. From feminine sounds in 70s to macho voice in 80s. Thank you, Marc!
I can’t believe he’s never taken voice lessons. He’s too GOOD.
You don't really have to.
@@Astro_80 agree, but it is recommended
Neither did Freddie, they both are just Natural
LOL! You do actually sound like him 😁
I stood in front of Freddie/Queen here in Seattle at the Seattle Center Coliseum for two+ hours and it was something that is beyond any description.
Nobody can imitate freddie mercury, everybody knows that. But he has this colour in his voice as Freddie had. A good impression!
Genetics 80% and 20% technique, which is available thanks to genetics.
Singing with almost no nose breathing is called sul fiato and Freddie was doing this all the time in the soft, lyrical parts.
I think “balls & brains” (B&B’s) deserve a fair percentage...aka “having the confidence to strut on stage & royally kick ass by belting songs out w/all u got, & blowing the crowd away w/ the very REAL TALENT that their brains, & the epic singer’s brain, all agreed & recognized as “the real thing: the voice of a born star.Thankfully, Freddie had more than enough B&B’s... & esp’ly TALENT....to know he was born 2b a rockstar. Sadly, these are the days of way too many celebs who are “all balls no talent...but no brains (or the simple normal self-awareness of the average child) to know the difference (that they lack all the imaginary abilities that only they, & maybe their equally clueless cult.. I mean FAN club devotees, are able to see. I just miss the good old days when it took more than having the “balls needed for loudly bragging & b.s.’ing a crowd into buying whatever u r selling,”, despite their teeny lil problem of having “nothing to sell or offer ...but impressive, larger-than-life, empty promises f/ one who is obnoxiously overconfident... & 100% pathologically lacking in the brains , ability, & even basic human decency or just the normal conscience to care that they are getting fame & fortune by being nothing but a lying , fake, narcissistic user. I ‘m glad Freddie made it when he did--when TRUE talent & real passion for the music they gave the world,,,& the love & positivity & joy they shared with us thru their songs (& still do) , were all agreed upon as being necessary & important factors in those we give fame, fortune, & especially POWER.
U deserved to have those things Freddie.
U were a real, true champion of music, my friend.
Piotr Szyba wait, singing without breathing out your nose is a technique?!
Piotr Szyba generics has no part in singing neither of my parents could sing a note and i sing really well, but this works for everybody
Freddie’s voice changed with his hair
It was the drugs, alcohol, and AIDS
@@cherishchristian7960 it's non true. I started smoking at the end of 1970 and my voice changed. When i got AIDS i stopped smoking and my voice became lighter
@@dio395 did you just talk as if you were Freddie Mercury? Like that's not cool dude.
@@cherishchristian7960 I'm kidding...
@@dio395 Aids and death is not a joke..
2:56 , 3:45 , 5:45 , 6:29 , 6:54 I loved it.
You forgot 7:31
@@AmvaTuVlow people say Marc can’t do the 80s Freddie voice
Damn it, Marc - it's a pleasure to hear you sing. What an AMAZING voice you have.
That George Michael bit was spot on. Everything was spot on
ElliotKelly Indeed.
My head exploded at 4:47
I think he's right about the bone structure, nasal cavity, etc. It does effect the resonance. The fact that Marc can also do George Michael shows he is an incredibly gifted vocalist. This is a great information. He can go from zero to nailing some of the runs you have to lead up to with ease. Marc is amazing. Utterly amazing.
Darling, you look quite a lot like me...so a devilishly handsome lad, no doubt.
-Freddie
Stop
FREDDIE ??? :0
Freddy is DEAD he couldn't have possibly replyed three days ago. As the post says
Oml yur alive????
Freddie come back we love you OMG ❤
Adam Lambert.... You are Fired!!
Only Brian and Roger can do that and they have already said they will never play with anyone else.
+slynnc kitty
Haha, Andres thinks he is Adam's boss. Perhaps Brian's and Roger's boss too!
Brian and Roger didn't want to duplicate "Freddie's" voice, they wanted someone who was as passionate of a performer as Freddie was
slynnc kitty and that's why its people like me thatll never go see Queen with Lambert there. Like they give a shit but just wanted to say that. Lol
I still think Adam doesn't fit, Marc does but I do respect Brian and Rogers decision on not bringing him and keeping the other guy.
step 1: be freddie's lost son
we all know he's your dad
😂😂😂
Very impressive I would love to see your show you really know your voice.
The way he interpreted his voice well 8:06
Nah doesn't sound like him
Rad King you're a wrong en if you think he doesn't sound like him
Man that contrast reminded me how different I Want To Break Free was from Killer Queen
Marc Martel is positively stunning and captivating and literally the only and best Freddie Mercury singer since November 25, 1991. Chills and goosebumps!!! I must see Marc singing in person. Hopefully, that will happen some day! I will keep an eye out for you, Marc Martel!
I never gave it much though, quite frankly, but you exactly right! Thank you so much for the breakdown.
Would love to see Marc and the rest of Queen write an album and tour, I think that would be just awesome. Sing old and new Queen
At first I came here thinking ‘alright, he’s going to give the basic jist of how to sound _like_ Freddie.’ And I was looking at Marc’s face and I thought, ‘hmm, interesting, he actually kinda looks like Freddie. He’s got the jaw, mouth, nose, and eyebrows.’ And then when he said how people told him how he sounded like Freddie, I thought ‘okay this guy better be good or I’m going to be disappointed.’ Then when he sang, I just thought, ‘yep, Freddie definitely had a secret son, and I am watching a video made by him.’
i CHOKED AT UR PICTURE SKSKS damn gee
You have a fantastic set of mammory glands
I have wondered about that too. Freddie jr..☺
Omg what did you do to Gerard. Lol I love it.
sighs omg I thought I wasn't the only one
To Marc: Dude, you've got one hellacious voice, and I truly wish that Queen would pick you up as the vocalist instead of Adam Lambert. Not dissing Adam Lambert, but his style doesn't fit Queen. He doesn't have the same passion for the songs that is necessary to a great rendition. Your range is excellent, but it's your dedication to the songs themselves that elevate you beyond a simple cover artist. You were right that Freddie constantly interacted emotionally with the audience and with the songs; I just watched three different Freddie Mercury versions of "Bohemian Rhapsody." The delivery of the songs was never the same, but he committed himself completely to each rendition, no matter what era in his career.
The problem with a lot of vocalists is that they don't interact with the material: you have to believe it, or the audience won't buy it. You certainly believe it.
So, thank you. Thank you for this video. I hope one day that Brian May and Roger Taylor will bring you aboard. That's when I'll buy a ticket to see modern Queen in concert. :)
chessysensei agree 🙌
@@capriceneman5902 i agree, also. It's what I was thinking. He needs to replace Adam Lambert. Not dissing Adam, either. I would pay top dollar to see & experience that.
Joseph Dockemeyer I’d rather see Queen with Marc to be honest
@@capriceneman5902 That's what I'm saying. Nothing against Adam, though. He's come far... I agree with you.
Totally agree 👍
“I’ve never really taken vocal lessons,” wait, say that again?
And nor did Freddy by the way...
Thats a bummer, because we mortals would like to believe we can achieve the same level of awesomeness if we just practice. But apparently its just genetics 🥺🥺😔😔
Neither did I...
andremesq honestly freddie did not have healthy vocal technique though he really blew out his voice at times. Its pretty impressive that marc is able to have such healthy technique wo vocal lessons- singers w/o lessons can sound amazing(like fred) but usually damage their chords and get nodules
That floored me 😱
i am a queen fan since 30 Year awesome
I love how you bring out the point with regards to Freddie's voice change from an 'angry violin' in the 1970s to a more macho rockstar in the 1980s. The man never stopped giving his all when singing during his lifetime - a true legend in every way.
This guy not only sounds like Freddie but he has the courage to sing full volume in front of a camera. I applaud him.
How is that even possible :)
As a lifetime Queen's discography collector and truly hardcore fan - and also as a fellow singer, I'm amazed at this guy's listening and singing ability - regardless of singing lessons having been taken or not. Would have made the best Freddie in the Bo-Rap upcoming movie.
He is Freddie's singing voice in the movie.
Yawn
mexicanosdelmundo I disagree. I thing Rami Melak was PERFECT for the role and I like how they send his and the original queen vocals for the movie so it’s really authentic. That was one thing I was worried about but they did great.

Agreed
