@@chezbe My argument is based on a fact that Layne was also a (glam) metal singer with incredibly insane high notes which Rob is also known for. And Layne’s powerful live performances where every note was perfect and his voice could tear down a whole building speak for themselfs. One in a century. But Chester was great too, no doubt boss✌️
you are an amazing singer and teacher Chris. a real gift to youtube honestly...lots of "singing teachers" on here...but you are delivering the real goods! Hate to compare but the reality is...you are the real deal and present the material in a clear and understandable way! so thank you and keep on rocking!
It would be nice to see a Phil Anselmo singing Tutorial. He has such a big ambitus and we can learn a lot from him. Thanx for all your great free and educational video's!
I couldn't found anyone explaining what he's doing when he sings. He's one of the greatest voices in metal, and although it appears the opposite, he really knows what he's doing. I hope Chris analyzes him some day
Ambitus, another term for range? Honest question. Agreed on Anselmo analysis some day! More because I been a Pantera fan since like age 5, haha. Chris has covered some HEEEEAVY heavy vocalists, versatile ones too, already. Anselmo is a legend, high water mark tho for sure. Especially in the CFH VDoP era. He always sounded insane obv but that era, obv haha, he was an acrobatic phenom bridging the gap between hair metal operatic + extreme/thrash/punk intensity + soulful stylings. Even the Power Metal album, idgaf! They were professional devastators, even back then. Anselmo came in RED HOT, immediately. Fit right in amongst the tightest metal rhythm section of all time haha.
Chris I would love to see your breakdowns on those amazing old school blues rock guys like David Coverdale and Steven Tyler, who have beautiful rich low end resonance with full high ranges?
Your stuff is really refreshing and real man. I'm really glad I found your videos when I did. Otherwise I probably would've kept working on my voice without really understanding much of it or making progress.
When Halford wings those songs they're simple songs not a big deal....for him to sing vocally. They';re radio songs for Halford. Halford is Painkiller, The Sentinal, Eat me alive and more....which is where his full vocal range is in display!
Great information and advice as always. You are an amazing singer who could sing any style in your own natural sound. Very inspiring listening to you sing as you also explain the feel of what you are doing.
Nice video as usual man! I have a fun request for you. What would you think of doing a sing The HU video? Would be awesome to see a throat singing video.
Hey, Chris, Can you please make a video about how to sing like Dave Mustaine does? I mean, 'Symphony of Destruction' , 'A Tout Le Monde', 'Tornado of Souls' has one of the best metal vocals, in my opinion.
Amazing how you showed new dimension of singing and how to try to find own voice. First, Rob sung from his heart and pipes so it is a bit ridiculous to try sounding exactly like him as many do, that's called impersonation and 'hey, he sounds like that'. Second, even my favorite singer I dislike many covers that he did (don't mean Diamonds and Rust or Johnny be Goode, sure, these are fantastic) bcs he doesn't sound hisown. Third, your voice built on alternative rock singers as a role models for creating yourown style (if I am free to use that term) suits heavy metal abnormally great when backed by true heavy metal music. Love vowel modifications. The trick is finding own voice 🤘 Thank you!
From 04:20 to 04:22 It seems that Halford has got a razor in the throat that he uses it whenever he wanna sound a bit aggressive and loud but not so clean.n
A video on Stu Block would be good. Just the Into Eternity song Severe Emotional Distress would be a good one to analyze. He used multiple types of vocals on that song
Hey, Chris. I suggest you check out Conor from Nothing But Thieves, great modern rock voice and maybe they are not in your area of interest but it would be cool if you made videos about some amazing female voices like Hayley Williams and Florence Welch. Great content as always.
Lmao Chris what’s your source on the “gooberish” adjective? Hahaha cracking me up more each time I return to this. The Andy Griffith character??! Lol he had a raised palette round doofy goofy kinda thing but not like gritty dick Tracy villain “HIT THA CITY BOWT ONE AYYAAAM” so I’m dying to know haha.
Awesome content, as always Chris! You really have found a unique way to make people easily understand how to make the best out of their voices. I've tried to grasp concepts like support, mix and aggressive singing for a long time, but it was all so subjective...but your 'feeling based' approach really got the job done! I still have a long path in order to master those basic concepts, but it's great to feel like I found the path now, so thank you! I don't know if you'll be reading this, but I have a question and a request, hopefully you'll answer! Question: sometimes you refer to the 'bearing down' and 'pushing' feelings in separate when you talk about support/airflow. Are they like, different parts? Should I always be bearing down with lower muscles, even when I'm inhaling? Or am I just misunderstanding and 'bearing down'/'pushing' are the same? As for my request, could you make a video unpacking Klaus Meine (Scorpions vocals) singing style? Thank you!
HOWDY FROM CONNECTICUT...I KNOW IM DATING MYSELF BUT BOY THIS VID BROUGHT ME BACK TO THE DAYS WHEN METAL WAS METAL...WHEN I WAS 9 YRS OLD I PLAYED THE SCREAMING FOR VENGEANCE TAPE SO MANY TIMES I RAN THRU 3 CASSETTES...(DATING MYSELF AGAIN)...PERHAPS DO A VID ON JOE DUPLANTIER FROM THE FRENCH PROG METAL BAND GOJIRA...? THX KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK...PEACE
THX..BTW JOE DUPLANTIER SINGS IN ENGLISH AND HAS AMAZING RANGE AND IS A CLASSICALLY TRAINED VOCALIST DOING PROG METAL..SO MUCH EMOTION SO MUCH TALENT..IM A DRUMMER BTW BUT HAVE SANG BACKUP IN THE PAST AND YOUR VIDS HAVE REKINDLED MY INTEREST IN BETTERING MY VOICE..PEACE
I really enjoyed this one, I don't know a lot about Rob Halford and it was a great learning experience. Also, do you ever go back and analyze your old singing and ever think "that was cool, I need to learn how I did that scream, note, etc?" Although you may not have been as "good" a long time ago, I'm curious to know how many opportunities to learn or relearn something from you old performances come up.
Halford has it all. He has the most ridiculous high end of all time, and yet, his lower voice is pretty rich, like a deep crooner also, which he gets to play with. He's just got what it takes, leaving all others but a very few to be very frustrated. Unfortunately, I think this video has the added effect of proving how hitting the notes isn't nearly enough to be a truly great singer.
It's mixed voice... not pure chest voice :) Search my channel on "mixed voice" ...You'll be blown away at what your voice can do with the right approach!
Hi Chris, may i ask a request that if can you do a reaction video and how to sing like David Draiman of Disturbed covering The Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel? ,, I always watching your videos from Philippines,,Thank you for always sharing your knowledge in music, Chris, God Bless You Always,,.
Hi Chris. My biggest problem right now with singing/ screaming is not being able to get loud (I can't get loud) do you have a video on this? Thanks so much for the great content!
You obviously have a lot of skill. My question is were you taught formally by a one on one teacher or did you learn this by self study , trial and error .
Hi chris! I have a question, I've seen many live performances of rob and i noticed that whenever he goes for the high notes he points his chin towards his chest and looks to the floor. Does that actually help push out higher notes? I'm confused, I've tried doing it both ways and I only notice a difference in tone. But i can't tell if one way is better than the other. Hope that makes sense, thanks
He's able to do this because he's not "reaching for the note". He's literally thinking DOWN on it while honing in, mentally on his support and resonance instead of constricting his neck muscles which is what happens when you tilt your neck up to reach for a particularly challenging pitch.
Hey Brother, love the vids...I've asked you questions before and commented before because I'm a pain in the ass...lol...I'm always working on my singing, tho lately I've gotten decent on the guitar as well..Howeverr I'm struggling on my song writing as to how to match my guitar to my vocals or visa versa....match as in chord finding and when to strum...basic basic shit...I've watched others vids but hasn't helped..thought maybe you can put it in perspective for me if anyone could......maybe an idea for future video
Hey Chris ... I had a Question. What kind of voice did Roger Taylor use in I'm in love with my car or how does he usually sing . I was trying but couldn't get it
With all do respect Halford as noticeably more width and fullness to his voice than your mimicking of him . No disrespect but I'm not hearing the same thing you are . I don't have the internet notoriety you do but I have sang for a number bands . Performing / recording acts. So I'm not not some fanboy trolling your channel .
Hello Chris, Great Video again. So cool to hear your decade-ago-voice, already great back than and the devellopment to nowadays. A suggestion to a great metal singer would be Killswitch Engage, Clean and Raw voices czcams.com/video/2N0ShfOOEq4/video.html czcams.com/video/YJcYjSry3Cs/video.html (song starts at 1.00, acoustic track) Would really love a indepth of his voice But whatever your next video will be, I know it is gonna be great and inspiring again! Great Stuff! :-D
You possibly took the worst songs to study Rob Halford. These songs are possibly his “simplest” and hardly shows any of his singing skills, capabilities. You should have taken songs like, Dreamer Deceiver, Run of the Mill, Dying to meet you, Blood Red skies, Savage stuff like that. No offence, but these songs are like warm up for him and hardly show 10% of what Rob Halford is all about.
No offense taken... I decided to choose samples from songs I had actually covered which is what dictated my song choices for THIS particular video, but its the only video I've done in this way. Long story short: I was assigned these songs long ago to do backing tracks for a guitar lesson platform you may have heard of... JamPlay. Check out my "in the style of" playlist to hear lots of crazy stuff :)
You possibly could try to focus more on the music itself, rather than vocal pp measuring contests. If you've watched the video, you should know how much skill it takes to even try to replicate his sound on any of these three, let alone make it your own so that it doesn't clash with the overall style. Just because a note might be "eAsY", doesn't mean that most people won't sound like shit on said note.
Świętosław Prozak I have watched the entire video and then I replied. But you certainly need to read my comment properly before replying. Replicating the voice is called Mimicry. There are songs which display lot more singing skills of Halford than the one owner has chosen to use in this video and that’s all I have said. Remember the title of the video is “Studying Rob Halford”.
The best vocalist in rock history without a close second place.
Absolutely true brother, but I’d add Layne Staley to the conversation if talk about rock.
@@simonbenes4090 lbh, if we talking about the same league as Rob - the only candidate is Chester Bennington
@@chezbe My argument is based on a fact that Layne was also a (glam) metal singer with incredibly insane high notes which Rob is also known for. And Layne’s powerful live performances where every note was perfect and his voice could tear down a whole building speak for themselfs. One in a century. But Chester was great too, no doubt boss✌️
You’re humble attitude and delivery are very refreshing and appreciated!

I used to go see Phil sing in a "Hair Metal" band before he joined Pantera,they used to a few Priest songs and Phil used to kill it.
You need to add an addendum to this video with "Painkiller"
I agree :)
Different Halford vocal technique
Chris I would love to see your breakdowns on those amazing old school blues rock guys like David Coverdale and Steven Tyler, who have beautiful rich low end resonance with full high ranges?
something on Geoff Tate from Queensryche would be great in the future.
Phil Anselmo or Tom Araya :)
Love the content! Not only is it educational but love your take on their style. You should do Klaus Meine from the Scorpions next!!!
Your stuff is really refreshing and real man. I'm really glad I found your videos when I did. Otherwise I probably would've kept working on my voice without really understanding much of it or making progress.

You should do Ripper Owens with 10,000 strong when he was with Iced 🧊 Earth 🌎. Absolutely insane performance!
Very well done. Kudos.

If I might make a suggestion, check out Kingdom by Devin Townsend that was done on EMG tv. The man is an absolute legend :D
czcams.com/video/rGrnCLPYYXw/video.html

How about some sing like AC?DC mostly Bon but Brian would be cool too.

When we tense our diaphragm for compression, should it push out and protrude? And as air leaves it, should it lose its protrusion until tensing again?
it should not protrude. Think LOWER than your diaphragm... think "downward" pressure
Chris Liepe but when tensing, shouldn’t there be a slight protrusion?
@@colinbaker1665 no. It should not protrude. It should feel like pressure towards the back and tailbone.
Chris Liepe should the tensing feel as if you’re tensing your abs?
@@colinbaker1665 you will tense your abs, but the focus should be on your "poop muscles"
Have you done Cobain?
