  • @rodneymills6477
    @rodneymills6477 Pƙed 5 lety +173

    On the tenser "don't you dare" I think it was intentional. It was a blue note. I think it was supposed to sound like it hurt and it was a semi-tone flat because blue notes are supposed to be flat/flatted. It's a jazz technique adopted by many soul/pop/r&b singers.
    It's not even that the range of this is unspeakably high. But the damn tessitura. I've always been super jealous of Von's upper register.

    • @susandrakenviller3683
      @susandrakenviller3683 Pƙed 5 lety +2

      I don't think it was intentional because this tenseness is present across his whole range. He is young so he can get away with it but I don't see his voice developing further if he doesn't learn how to sing more freely. His voice is very light and therefore the difference between his full voice and head voice isn't that big and he can sort of go on seamlessly from chest into his head voice but his voice is getting more shrill and colorless and he should lose that.

    • @bostonteapartycrasher
      @bostonteapartycrasher Pƙed 5 lety +6

      I agree. His voice sounded a lot better around his American Idol days. He sings everything with his mouth really wide now, and it makes his sound inhuman and unrelatable. I listen to this and think, "oh, wow. Look how high he can sing," instead of thinking how beautiful his performance was. Oh, and I've always thought he had a fairly heavy voice but just chooses to sing light to be able to sing in the range he does."

    I would really love to hear you react to Spensha Baker from The Voice this past year. She made it all the way to the end, and she has a wonderful personality, but I felt she was consistently straining her voice when she sang. To me she seemed to lack control and was often off pitch. I would love to know what a professional voice coach thinks of her singing technique. If I had to suggest a performance, I'd say "Broken Halos" is the shakiest and "Old Soul" (her finale performance) showcases her range the most. Either performance would be fascinating to watch you give feedback!

    Love the fact that you stop the video and sing the parts yourself to make your viewers understand what you're saying, thank you!

    You should react to Gabriel Henrique - I have nothing, I still don't know how is that possible. wow

    Hi again Tara. You mentioned his mix. I have struggled with understanding how to properly use this technique. My favorite male singer is David Phelps. I’ve been told he uses mix a lot and he is just phenomenal. When time permits, could you do a video sort of talking or speaking about the “mix” voice.

    I love when you say "YES" while jamming out

    Awesome video you reviewed here - I've had it on repeat for the last few days and found this. Amazing to hear a technical breakdown. Having seen that you react to several Voctave videos, have you had the Voctave and Rachel Potter video of poor unfortunate souls/I put a spell on you suggested? The Ariel (solo/run?) is not to be missed imho.

    The straight tone at the end made it sound like he was pushing the breath he had left to his sonic limit. Whether that is the case or not, going straight-vibrato-straight sounded that way to my ears.
    Please keep in mind I don't even qualify as an amateur, much less someone that knows what they are talking about.
