I hope this observation on how he sings helps you figure out how the voice works better, so you can learn how to make smart choices in your own voice.

Are you dining with Transformers?
I FUCKING DIED
Im dying
I can't stop laughing 🤣😭
Sam is truly the only person that can have James Charles in a video and not have a controversy 😂
Shannon Buchan heh, just wait, I wonder if James is gonna say something
@@0ptixs Honestly, I think he'd appreciate this video a lot, especially because this is very good, and very practical, advice. At least one of the fixes can be started immediately (the breath control tricks).
So much truth.

@@buffkangaroodog Maybe Sam hopes???
"singing is too much fun for us to keep killing people's passion..." *MIC DROP*
He has a point
Number one reason why I love Sam
The best quote ever. Seriously. Beautiful in its simplicity.
"It's just a very big mouth"- Best Review of James Charles' singing
Came here to make this exact comment! 🤣🤣
Or James Charles in general lol
Lmbo yes 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Omggg🤣🤣😭
His tongue is too big for his mouth!
The way James uses his tongue in speech and singing is indicative of someone who had a speech impediment or speech delay, and then spent time in speech therapy once he started school. He is using some odd tongue positions that look a lot like compensatory positions designed to, for example, pronounce an s-sound without a lisp.
Yes!! It almost seems to me like he is fighting having a lisp or being very short tounged..
I didn't hear that way of speaking in the eleven-year-old James spoke.
Is he gay? I'm asking because for one, I'm blind so I can't see him in his videos, and two, because of how he speaks. That is not a judgment call on my part. It's the way people sound when they make fun of how some gay people talk.
I wonder if he didn't try so hard to talk a certain way--though now it may be habit, regardless of where it came from--if he wouldn't find his inclination to the tongue positioning shifted, even in his singing.
@@LostJedi26 He is very definitely gay, and quite camp to go along with it!
LostJedi26 wait how did you write that if your blind just asking
@@stardraws3634 voice to text most likely.
"His tongue seems to always be involved, currently."
So much truth.

Dying. So much tounge seems to be a reoccuring theme #thewaiter
@@geturhandsoffmygirl haha I forgot about that!
You are one of the few vocal coaches who can critic without bashing on a person. I'm not a fan of james charles, but I don't like when when people just hate on someone just because everyone else is doing it.
Same, he just looks really happy whenever he's singing. It just seems cruel to be mean 😂
Didn't he basically rape/sexually abuse people?
@@TriplePalindromous nope..false story for drama
@@jean2901 What? Really? What the fuck. I'm gonna have to look into it, then. Thanks for telling me, I was out of the loop.
@@TriplePalindromous I believe he used his popularity and influence to pressure some young men into doing things they weren't quite comfortable doing. A young man who previously accused him of this recently came out and denied the original allegations, however if you watch his explanation video retracting these statements, something seems very off. I believe he was threatened by James' team to retract his original statements.
Even if James didn't use his influence to pressure these young men, it's undeniable that the manner in which he was texting these individuals was quite vile and authoritative.
I think your way of reacting is the best way. Good criticism to help people grow, instead of looking down on something or someone and saying how horrible you think it is. In a way it's interesting to see the video of James reacting in a personal way, and then your reaction, giving advice and analyzing things from a distance. Thank you for making this a sort of multi-reaction. Like a reaction-ception.
Totally agree. Sam, you’re one of the kindest vocal teachers I’ve followed. Most definitely the best way to teach and critique is to encourage! ♥️
@@greekpeach69 I couldnt have said what I was thinking any better than your comment. BRAVO!!
Now get out of my head....for your own sake!!1

wish it into the world please
YES PLEASE! Lol
@@SamJohnsonVoice Agreed :) We need that badly!
Dextresen you know he will.
He has to stay relevant right?
Sam working overtime to defend his use of a straw while demonizing them almost killed me.
Thanks Sam, for the message about not making fun of people who are learning to sing. Love it so much when you say that!
👏👏👏👏👏
Sam actually giving real advice unlike Tristan. Your the actual teacher i would want. Not just complimenting at the cost of improving someone’s voice
buggy627 THANK YOU OMG i tell everyone this, Tristan literally makes fun of people and it’s NOT classy. Also Sam knows his shit way better.
Brendonmakesmesmile lol but I mean Tristan says nothing constructive usually. Or he just gives nothing but compliments like to Brendan urie. Which I mean ok there isn’t much to correct with Brendan but you know... he never has much advice besides singing the part again to the camera lol
Even when there’s nothing to correct, Sam is pretty great about explaining what is going on so that his viewers can LEARN. It’s been months since I bothered with Tristan’s reactions, but I’m pretty sure he did less or none of that
buggy627 ya, i thought when he did the video essentially mocking JC for not “following” his advice (which was good advice but this was like 10 months on) that really turned me off of him. Regardless of my feelings on that tour, it seemed so two faced to me that T would profit off of being in JC’s channel and then mock him when he knew that it would make him more popular. Also he comes off as cocky a lot of the time. And yes Brendon is a good singer but he’s not perfect and Sam can watch him and point out places where he might be straining, but not in a mean and mocking way.
(Wow I spent way too much time writing this, i need some hobbies)
Brendonmakesmesmile lmao it’s ok so did I! And I totally know what you mean... it felt mean to me at the time about James too esp because James had been to him for lessons? If I found an old teacher of mine making fun of my singing online after I’d be so upset!
I am so grateful that the CZcams community has someone like you, Sam. Your videos are highly informative, and you are setting a new precedent - that criticism can be given with care, and that kindness is transformative. I have no doubt that you've helped many people rekindle their passion for singing - I am one of them. You truly inspire me.
“Still hear so much tongue stuff” said so un-ironically. This is why Sam is my favorite lol
I love hearing your philosophy on malicious commentary and encouraging passion vs tearing it down. Talk about a teacher with a heart of gold.
I appreciate you giving respectful constructive feedback, but also giving credit where it is deserved! Singing is a lot of fun and most of us are not professional. But, you always give us tips and tricks that will help us grow. Thanks for the video!!!
"take a straw, preferably a reusable one". Thanks Sam for thinking about the environment 😂 also, could you please do a reaction to Marina (Marina and the Diamonds)? Would love to see your reaction to her!
Elianne Klein I second this
Yes marina please!
The thing I love about her is that her voice ISN'T perfect. But it isn't harsh, you know? Like it's still easy to listen but it isn't so over perfect
Yes please, her voice is so interesting! I would love to know what she’s doing
The only sensation I can maintain while singing is anxiety and fear of being judged
Same!!!
Please react to Amy Winehouse! She’s one of a kind and I’d love to hear your thoughts on her
Man I really love how you analyze everyone's singing styles. You back everything up with the why, how, and even how to better use what you have or if anything better could have been done.
You never shame anyone thought, at least not that I've seen and I think anyone would be lucky to have you as a coach. Keep it up, you have a great teaching style!
I don’t like that boy, but you, Sam, are just exceptional. I love listening to your kind, constructive critiques. Your knowledge is impressive.
Hi Sam. I cannot tell you how glad I am to have found your videos a few short months ago. On the one hand, I was fascinated, but on the other frustrated because I've always suspected I could do more with my voice (after a lifetime of being told I really can't). Anyway it really lit the blue touch paper in my brain, and finally gave me the shove to ask around and find a voice teacher. Best thing (apart from having my son) I ever did! I'm hitting notes I never thought possible, in an easy, pain-free way that's SO MUCH FUN. I'm not a performer but I have to sing. In the same way that sharks have to keep moving: I stop, I die (only figuratively, of course!). Singing this well, and this easily has worked wonders for my mental health, my confidence, everything. And it all started with your awesome channel. Cheers mate.
Jox Clever: "...really lit the blue touch paper in my brain..." great phrase.
You are always so kind and constructive, Sam. So many of us can relate to having a good ear but not knowing how to translate those sounds via our own voices, and, rather than mocking that, you normalize it. And that's inspiring.
It's incredibly interesting how much speech patterns can affect singing patterns, especially in regards to human behavior.
I've noticed that as a someone with a more quiet or submissive personality, I have the same vocal problems as everyone else, but inverted.
I pull down head voice, am not loud enough, and I don't quite enunciate my consonants unless I am focused on doing it (It just becomes a vague vowel sound).
It is exhaustingly rewarding to change those habits and actually hear an improvement.
Oh absolutely. Someone's inability to get loud is almost always related to personality traits. Generally loud people pull chest more often than quiet people. Sometimes tricking the body into making big sounds can be very releasing emotionally if it's not a sound you've made before.
@@SamJohnsonVoice Very much so! More often than not, I was unaware that I could even make certain sounds. Even my speech is very animated and full of tone compared to before.
Thanks for the help ;)
@@SamJohnsonVoice I've struggled with this! What does it mean if you're loud with some people, and quiet with others? No seriously ... I've never had it put into words, but it makes complete sense. Fascinating. Thank you so much for your insight.
Perhaps somewhat related... When I was at a bowling alley a few years ago, I felt like no one could hear me. I had to yell to be heard, and even then it wasn't enough. The guys could just bellow! Since then, I've said, teasingly though perhaps with some truth in the statement, that women weren't created to bellow. That's extremely oversimplified and oversimplified, because of course the resonances of men and women are different...
@@LostJedi26 I honestly think it's just habit. We fall into certain patterns of speaking when growing up, and certain personalities can activate different ways of speaking. Think of the difference in your words and behavior when talking to friends or family vs a stranger.
People live life at different volumes.
@@LostJedi26 In a crowded area like that, I'd find it difficult to be loud like that- tbh, I think it would be easier to pitch your voice higher, so that it cuts through the rest of the background noise and is easily distinguished from others' voices. :)
Reverb, layers, and autotune can do wonders for someone.
Based on what you said about vowel changes I think florence welch would be an interesting singer to do a vocal reaction to because of how she modifies vowels a lot in her singing and overall she has an interesting voice I think!
Raul Rodriguez Hozier is the same
Fun fact about Florence! She has dyspraxia, which can affect the way ur mouth moves when u speak. Many people with dyspraxia, like myself, went to speech therapy when younger as there is some struggles to produce certain sounds with coordinating the movement of the tongue and lips in the way you see others do. It's like a disconnect of you see the way other people do it and the actual process of mimicking and recreating what u see in your movements.
I love listening to Sam’s analyses because he is never ever ever mean and always tries to explain why a sound is happening and how to adjust. It’s amazingly supportive!
“Blunderous” is my new favourite word and I plan to use it at least once a day.
Add "blunderous" to your everyday vocabulary for clear skin and good grades.
Sam would be THE BEST vocal teacher for James. I totally hope they work together. Sam has such a loving way of correcting.
True 👏👏👏👏👏
Please, please, please make a video about speaking properly! I am pretty sure that I am retracting my tongue when I speak, making me sound nasal (also I strain my voice alot), and I have not been able to find any advice, that I can figure out to use, on how to adjust it. I can't figure out not doing it. And you are always so specific and great at explaining using Your voice, so I would really love your recommendations!
Yes , that would be awesome I have same issue
You can test hypernasality by putting a mirror under your nose while you speak (does it get really foggy when you aren't saying "m", "n" and "ngg"?is it more foggy out of one nare? ) and plugging your nose to test the difference in sound. This can also be assessed by a speech pathologist so they can see if you have anything structurally going on, if you have tongue thrust, or if you need to possibly be fitted for a prosthesis.
Great idea
Yes, that would be so helpful! My problem is that my voice cracks way to much. It's so embarrassing. 😅 It's one of the reasons to why I don't participate in class discussions. 😦
@@kzzephyr hi. Yes, I've tried slowing down because that's someone once suggested as well. I have not tried the whispering, though. :) I will try that next. Thanks for the suggestions. 😊
01:45 my brain at 2am in the morning while I'm trying to fall asleep
😂😂 Accurate AF.
This comment made me laugh so thank you 😂
mine as well, mine as well... 🤣
By watching you and taking notes, I've gotten a little better at singing. Thanks Sam! I cant wait until I can get actual lessons from you!
When he said, “his tongue and other parts of his oral cavity are trying to resist the air because they are so used to having so much going through,” that sent me lolol
You didn’t open with “Hi sisters!” MISSED OPPORTUNITY.
- Love, Elvella
FINALLY SOMEONE ACKNOWLEDGES JAMES CHARLES' OVERUSE OF TONGUE!!! EVEN WHILE TALKING!!!!!
IT IS NOT NORMAL TO USE THAT MUCH TONGUE AND IT ALSO MAKES PEOPLE UNCOMFORTABLE.
Unlike some other vocal coaches on youtube, you actually explain the technical side of what you're listening to and how you would help to resolve any issues. This is the content I signed up for :D
I love how kind and thoughtful you always are! I do a lot of tutoring and teaching work (not in music, mostly math and science) and half the job is usually emotionally supporting students and helping them break out of the fixed mindset that they are "bad at math" or "can't do math" and instead realize that it's always possible to improve and understand things better.
It should have been obvious to me that the same applies to singing, but watching your videos was the first time that really clicked for me. You are always so consistently patient and understanding, and every time I watch one of your videos I feel inspired to be a kinder and more patient teacher to my students (as well as to myself when thinking about my own singing). Just wanted to say thank you for being such a great example!
Oh also if you haven't already, I think it would be really cool if you analyzed some of Amanda Palmer's singing!
„Get the tongue out of the way, it is way too involved...“ This made my day 😂😂
I so hope he sees this. You are so kind.
Man, you should have reacted to his singing in his fanmeeting.
What you say at 13:10 is why I love you!
I absolutely love YOUR passion Sam!
Your knowledge and skill are obvious and combined with the wisdom and maturity of mind that you exhibit in your approach to these videos is inspiring to me as a human being. I'm not even a singer but I totally want to be more like you!
❤🧡💛💚💙💜💖
Great video, Sam!
Thank you for being such a positive haven in an internet full of nastiness and negativity. You have such a beautiful way of commenting on things that isn't hurtful. That shows you are a kind, good hearted person and the world needs more of that. Your videos have given me the courage to start singing again after so many years of thinking I shouldn't bother. I feel like I can get better, and when I finally get up the nerve, I want to book some lessons with you. Keep being such a beautiful soul.
Sam. Your positivity is something I admire, and strive to be better at. Thanks for being a light in a negative world!
Sam can you react to leona lewis singing run live on the xfactor since no vocal coach ever reacts to her.It's one of the best vocal performances ever trust me you won't be disappointed
Agreed
Yes... is amazing
I agree! I also really enjoyed her version of Summertime. Wonderful live singer.
I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure he has made a video about her.
She is a queen!
Came here for Sam, stayed for Sam.
Your explanation on breath control is amazeballs. great job Sam!!!
10:49 "Also that face is amazing" 😂😂
Sam being savage is my Mood 😂
😂😂😂😂
YES I WAS SCROLLING TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE PICKED UP ON IT 😂😂
I love how in depth you get with your explanations and how well you describe everything. It's so interesting and helpful!
I absolutely love your videos. You’re one of the most informative vocal coaches I’ve seen on YT! I sing & you’ve definitely helped my technique a bit.
This is so helpful. I love these videos where you dissect performances where people aren't professionals (the it's always sunny video will forever be my vid you did. I keep returning to it for encouragement.) ❤️
I’ve honestly learned so much just from watching your reaction videos. I love how you break down what’s going on with the voice. It’s allowed me to listen to myself and improve my technique. It’s like the science of voice!
“Some effects of his voice” me: SOME?
Sam is just a ray of sunshine. I love the way he encourages people ❤ Best channel!
I played clarinet for 8 years, and I think that was incredibly helpful, both for building lung capacity and for air control. Even now that I'm in my 40s, I still have a sense of how much air I have and how much I'm using. Add that to how much I'm learning from you and I'm a happy camper!
Your Kermit voice had me laughing so hard :D
He breathes at such a weird spot - in the old video I thought it was because he didn't know where to breathe and expected him to have fixed it by now, but he breathes right before "kicks" and it's just such an odd place to take a breath.
Yeah, it sounds a little bit weird, but in original version the singer breathes at the same spot - I think this is why James Charles does it as well :)
"It's just a very large mouth" 🤣🤣🤣
I haven't watched him in forever and I forgot that he can't match his foundation 😑
😭😭😭😭
I can’t believe I am about to defend JC but here we go: He actually made a whole video about matching foundation to his skin and is well aware of this issue. Also a mismatched foundation is kinda minor compared to supporting someone who is into children!!
@@rory7676 could you leave me alone about that? I was just trying to say I haven't seen him in forever and forgot about the issue and you bring my music preferences into this!!
It’s just part of his brand now really
OMG 🤣 when his hand came up next to his face, I thought it was someone else's hand cause it's so white compared to his face 😄
Watching your videos are so helpful. You’re so honest and knowledgeable. I take notes from certain parts for when I go do vocal practice myself 😩 Thank you for doing you 🙌🏼 one of my fav channels
You give advice in such a well thought out and really well articulated and put across, by far my fav vocal coach on CZcams 💚
Oh heck yeah a new video! I personally can’t stand James Charles but I’ll still watch for my man Sam lol. ALSO! Please please react to Tonight by Jin from BTS
n03297 Yes Jin has improved a lot!!! I love his live performances! + JC is cringe lol 😂
Same thing here! I really can't stand JC 😂
Yaaaas tonight i've been addicted to it a few days ago ❤
I don’t like Bts much (just opinion)
Star Draws!! That’s okay! :P lol we all like different things
I love how positive you are with your reviews/critiques. Always super encouraging!
1:16 I like the single note played on the keyboard 😂😂
I always love your videos, a pleasure watching them.
What I love about you is how you really analyse the voice and break it down to us and what we can improve on rather than heavy critique and not having much information for that person to work on.
There’s a couple of other voice coaches/teachers I’m following who tend to occasionally throw in some “shade” from their personal obvious dislike and hardly much analysis, which is a shame tbh.
As a person who’s been singing my entire life, personally love learning new tips and tricks, balances so I can sing better - your videos have helped me a lot as I’m more aware of the things that aren’t working as well and what is: so thank you 💛
Also I must say you do have a beautiful smile 🙈
Hugs from London 🇬🇧🧐☕️🤗🤗 xx
🙌🙌🙌 We need more people like Sam on this earth! Every time I watch a new video I want to be his best friend because he's always so encouraging and positive ❤
You seem like such a kind person and so positive in a world that loves to celebrate the negatives. Anytime I’m feeling down I know I can come watch some of your videos and it helps me remember there are sweet and kind people out there and just puts me in a better mental state. Thank you ♥️
I Looooove your instruction style. You explain the mechanics so well that I feel like I could learn how to sing well simply by watching through your channel.
I...I usually don't actually "react" to videos, but I feel this critique was perfect, Sam! Bravo. 👐🏼
I just love this Sam! Your passion for music and teaching absolutely shines.
You are really specific and very detailed you’re probably the best vocal coach I’ve seen on CZcams
Sam! I LOVED your comment about supporting/educating singers because the basis behind everything is the want and fun behind it. Thank you for showing us that voice teachers and professionals still have the heart and love behind the constructive advice!
“Also that face is amazing “ 😂😂 Love your videos Sam !
Can you do a video on how to avoid vocal fry when talking? You mentioned singing helps you find a more healthy way of speaking.
16:46 what is that thing he's shaking? another vitamin?
loool
😂😂😂😂💀
🐸☕️
😂🐸☕️ I’m deaaaad.
Hey Sam could you please react to Chester Benningtons singing Faint live?
what of chester performances should he react to?
yes.
Ivana Marinkovic Papercut live at Milton Keynes Arena would be amazing
@@landryharrell7
Wow that was insane !! Chester was the best and Sam could react to any song and I would be happy , but Faint is my favourite. 😄
@@landryharrell7and Pushing me away at Milton Keynes 😀
I love watching your videos! I feel like I learn something helpful for my own singing in every video. And your genuine kindness is always appreciated 🙂
So much respect for you Sam. Love the content and the education you provide. I appreciate that you didn’t put ads on the video but...put the ads on this video you deserve it.
James did a good with that video too.
I love how encouraging you are no matter what. We all know that it didn't sound the greatest, but all you have is constructive criticism that isn't hateful or mean. You are so sweet and that's what I admire about you.
I cant stand james charles but love sam 🖤
Agreed
same here, i don't even know why i watch it, probably thought there will be a bit of laugh, but no, just cringe:)
Everyone: vocal coach
Sam: voice teacher
I love how you give examples of what to do to not sound a certain way. You give really good tips on exercises and would love to see more vocal exercise examples from you
You seem to be an amazing person. Such good vibes. Your ability to see mistakes but also see the person making the mistake in a loving way and giving your opinion that way is so so amazing. I admit that in the very beginning I had some assumptions about you and you've proven them wrong and I am actually learning a lot from you as a person. So, thank you Sam.
You literally the best . Your videos are so helpful thank u
Such a positive channel! Keep up the good work Sam ❤️
First of all...love the content!
I'd really love to see you react to a Prince video!
Maybe the Super Bowl Halftime Show or any other one. I'm a big fan of him and he has a very unique voice.
Greetings from Brazil!!!
Your videos are so addicting. Idk what it is but I'm binge watching lol.
James Charles has a huge tongue in general. He opens his mouth and it’s all I see.
Well, his future boyfriend or husband would love it 😂😂😂
You are such a nice and humble person. After watching your videos it makes me want to take lessons and learn how to use my voice for singing.
Everyone needs to be a kind as you Sam
You're the best analyzer of singing on CZcams. You are incredibly knowledgeable of the science and mechanics that go into singing. As someone who has no musical training it's very educational to hear how you break down and analyze the singer's performance. I also enjoy how you always manage to find some redeeming quality in every singer when you could just as easily be highly critical and dismissive. Thank you for keeping it positive and sharing your vast singing knowledge with us...
If you've ever heard JC sing live, you know that his "Pumped Up Kicks" is auto-tuned, processed and digitally altered SO much. Just, please...no more. Please.
Are you dumb? Obviously, every pre-recorded cover on CZcams is modified. Also, I'm pretty sure since he's a vocal coach he probably knows already.
If you listened you would have noticed Sam say that he knows there’s a lot of effects on his voice to make it sound polished-
@@starry.skye. I wasn't saying that Sam didn't know there were effects on JC's voice. I was just basically saying that his real voice...sucks. Lol.
Sam I love your videos. It has definitely helped me with mine even tho I haven’t really sung anything (just in the car lol) since freshman year of HS. Thank you for teaching and not making fun of people. ❤️❤️❤️
Congrats, Sam. I really enjoy this, i love how you make them very helpful and with a constructive critique without being mean. I really really love your work, i won't stop say in it. Keep it up. 💕
This channel is so refreshing!
Hi sam! I love watching you're videos. You're very non biased and fair in your analysis which is so refreshing. If you're so inclined you should check out Donna Missal's live vocals. I'd love to hear what you think about her raspy growly vocals in a lot of her songs!!
haven’t watched your videos in a while and man!!!! you’ve blown up! i’m so proud
I am always amazed at how nice Sam is. I was completely distracted by all of the processing on the voice. He knew it was obvious so he just barely mentioned it.
This is one of the most fascinating videos on singing technique. Thank you, thank you! I've never had money for singing coaching/lessons, so these videos are wonderful. I find myself listening to singers and what they're doing. Now I need to just keep practicing.
When I was twelve-fourteen, I was extremely critical of how I sounded in recordings I made of me singing. I loved singers who aren't from the U.S., and their annunciation of words was clearer. I started following their vowel sounds, or trying to. Then I had a smattering of voice lessons from my high school choir director. I'm not sure what happened over the next two years, but I went from not projecting at all and thinking I sounded horrible to liking what I heard, and singing out more freely.
i've tried to pick up little tidbits along the way, though I still hope for lessons someday, if money and anxiety issues will allow.
Your voice doesn't truly mature until your 30s. Finally in my 30s I can see how my voice has changed drastically. I'm sure James will notice also as he gets older but it's definitely improving with time and training. Love the videos as always.
This makes sense. I'm 29 and I finally feel like my voice isn't trying to crack and warble all the time..
I completely agree. My voice, even now at 23, is ridiculously different (better) from when I was 18 or 19.
I'm 30 now. And my voice is just like, "It is time! Wheeeee!!!!!" I've never sounded so good
I love and respect you so much as a vocal teacher. I can see you becoming a vocal teacher to the stars.
