5:55 Just saving the time stamp to rewatch as many times as possible
5:36 that's a great example, i like the way that Marc explain it
Mean he looks like him tooo so good at singing you guys
Whoa...this is big
Man, I have never listened so carefully to the nuance of "mama"
As soon as i saw this in my mail i knew i had to stop everything i was doing and watch this video
When Marc opens his mouth and belts out a note, every cell in my body is at attention. 🤯 Mind blowing talent and such a humble guy.
HAHAHAHA🤣🤣🤣. Love it!!
Wow. I didn't expect to see Marc Martel with you! I'm flipping out! Hahaha.
I haven't even watched the video yet!
I'm in shock!
Congrats!
Holy shit. Its so close to Mercury. Amazing!
oh wow
He even looks like Freddie in some regards with his facial structure! He is definitely the closest living Freddie we have today probably!
Right ? Isn't it amazing how looking like a singer helps a ton when trying to sound like them. I noticed this with other singers as well 😄
@@tomrawrzzz5096 it is remarkable! It's crazy how much our voices, which we think of as originating in the neck/throat, has so much to do with our noses, sinuses, mouth, lips, etc
You're right. Check out sam ryder as well :)
Wow beautiful marc. Thanks Chris
Mark thanks
we do have to realize that marc martel was told he sounded like freddie before he knew who freddie and queen were. he's not trying to sound like freddie , that's his natural voice.
Exactly
I mean he's very obviously trying to sound like Freddie Mercury when he's covering Queen or Freddie Mercury songs.
Well Marc, I'm kinda not Good with a British accent... I'm only a Little good with either a Russian or Ukrainian accent... Even though I try to Practice that... I'm practicing that Now... But, I can Still be able To hit these Notes and Sometimes Move my Mouth when I sing a Queen song or anything... I'm sometimes Not afraid to Step into the Ugly and not into The Boring and Everything...
Зачем всё хотят быть похожими на Фредди? вы никогда такими не будите Фредди это легенда, сколько лет прошло, а его помнят, любят он не умер он превратился в музыку. а о Вас быстро забудут
@@Aardvarked88
Covering Queen doesn’t mean he is trying to sound like Freddie. Marc and Freddie are sound-a-likes, if you must know!
I could listen to Marc sing the phone book!! 🎤 🎶
I just spent 11min watching a video on vocals and I don’t even sing. Thanks Marc! 😂
God bless you all!
Ha Ha Ha, don't try to sing like Freddie Mercury when Marc Martel is sitting in the room right next to you.
Thanks for this video
Fantastic interview. So much of that ending where Marc is talking about running out of gas but figuring out how it works for your own voice is so much of what singing rock/pop music is all about.
I see Warren there too 👏👏👏
Greatest singer of all time
Anytime I introduce someone to Marc, they're blown away by his ability to get all the nuances of Freddie's voice. Of course he sounds just like him in tone/timbre which is basically the genetic lottery, but it's studying/practicing the details that takes it from "he sounds a lot like him" to "is that Freddie?"
Copying Freddie voice is bad, he wouldn't want that, he would find that boring, he prefers people to do stuff with his music
@@williamg209two oh get over yourself lol.
Music is for whatever you want it to be for. If Freddie disagreed with that, he was a tool.
@@SallionMang he said whatever you do with my music never make it boring before he died, someone copying his singing is boring, he'd prob dislike it alot
@@williamg209two Are you as critical of other tribute bands as you are with Marc? People love the music that this band created, and people still want to experience it live, and not just alone in their homes.
@@ThatllShowEm he can do what he wants of his own stuff but copying Freddie voice is just insulting to Freddie for queen stuff and anything he's done
Marc, u are amazing
I agree
amazing
Hes almost got his jaw line and everything. This was awesome
Another brilliant upload
For no reason I think of Marc as the modern version of Freddie.
This man is a legend
Thanks guys!
Our pleasure!
Great insights! Thanks guys.
Damn he has a powerful voice.
Yeah... He's incredible powerful and loud. But still smooth!
This was helpful. Thank you.
I’d like to hear some older songs like “you’re my best friend “
Put in the name of the song, and Marc Martel, for many live performances.
This is a recording of one of Marc's many international concerts including at 22 songs You're my best friend among them. His band is also first class as demonstrated by Tristan's guitar solo. czcams.com/video/2rxQmF5J-Mw/video.html
@@marcfan1822 awesome! Thank you for sharing. I first heard on the radio, him with the band ‘Downhere’. I didn’t really associate him with Freddie Mercury until later. I actually thought it was Kevin Max singing at first, 😂 I think it was ‘How Many Kings”
@@jacquiej5330 I love downhere. I found Marc in 2018 through his viral queen videos . I think How Many Kings was the first downhere song I heard too but my favourite is Let Me Rediscover you. Wonderful band . Did you know Kevin Max did the Bowie part in Under Pressure on Marc's queen covers album Thunderbolt and Lightning? In fact if you search for Marc Martel Kevin Max you will find that song and an old duet with Marc and Kevin from Marc's downhere days. Fun. Stay safe!
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat! Chris! No way
Wonderful interview. 👍
Just amasing conversation... Thanks so much for this!
Freddie was the GREATEST. Marc is BRILLIANT live. Please come back.to UK
Mark is like Fredddie
Like his son.
Marc is kind of a gift to Freddie appreciators, he has a unique and amazing voice...
And man its so cool to see him whipping these songs off for our enjoyment and keeping them alive...
👋😎👍🎶🎶
I can't wait to see what else Chris and Marc have up their sleeves.
Legendary!
I just seen Chris and Marc at the thumbnail and thought "Klick it!!!"
Epic video. So nice having you two at the same screen. 😎👍🔥
Very good video and fantastic course by the way!!!
5:57 the way he sings mama is practically identical to the second time Freddie did it at live aid
Worlds collide! I’ve followed Marc since his days in Downhere. Awesome video!
LOVE the Downhere stuff. I’ve been following same as you! Amazing writing and vocals
If Marc would sound "only" like Freddie Mercury, I'd say: he's a lucky guy, who is blessed with a very similar voice. But that he can sing like so many other people proves: This man is a real artist, who works hard for this voice!
And now I'm wondering if Chris and Marc got into that point at all - that Marc has been able to find other vocalists similar to his range and "borrow"/ learn from them and pick up those nuances that remind people of those other artists. George Michael and Eddie Vedder (though Marc might not want to revisit that era of his voice, lol) are two that come to mind.
WE DO get into this exact topic in his upcoming course!
@@chrisliepe Ooh! Wonderful! 👍
Real artists, with their own individual artistic integrity pursue careers using their own voices, and don’t live off other’s greatness. He uses Queen, he steals their music, he’s a lowly, mediocre imitator. He’s a leech.
@@carolhagerty4288If you watched the series, you would understand that so many artists of great acclaim (Tony Bennett, and even Freddie Mercury himself) learned from listening to other vocalists and musicians. Mercury copied Tim Staffell for a few years.
I can't believe my eyes, two of my favorite singers in one video
Awesome!
Genial!!! saludos desde Chile!
OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD TWO OF THE MOST AMAZING SINGERS THE INTERNET HAS TI OFFER!!!!!
Absolutely brilliant insight into Freddie Mercurys Vocals by Marc and Chris.As a Brit I'm impressed lol
If I may comment, as a gigging singer, there are some songs that are so physically demanding on my support and my entire body and mind. I'm so glad to hear Marc allude to those facts. Thanks so much Chris and Thank you Marc.
As ThatllShowEm pointed out, waiting for George Michael to be revisited!
Big up Chris !! I'm really happy for you and your channel!
Awesome mashup having both of these great singers on the same room!
YESYESYES!!!
I saw Marc with Black Jacket over the summer. Felt like I was in a time machine. Great first show for my two young children.
Wow, what a surprise! Marc and Chris in one video, this is amazing stuff B-)
This is awesome
Liepe illustrates just how deep his natural analyis concerning the nuances of singing goes. He's constantly perceptive about the small discrepancies regarding vocal techniques. Awesomeness
A master of the craft... Yup I see two of them, right here !
What a privilege it has been so far to work with Marc!
I hope you guys made a duo cover afterward...
Thank you! Now I can sing like Freddie 🙂
Wow it's so great to see these two amazing singers here! Pity that the interview so too short
There are more videos coming! I split them up in to multiple videos rather than doing a really long one :) More focused that way!
This was such a fun and interesting discussion! It blows me away how Marc randomly bursts out with a powerful line of song, and then just goes back to normal talking like it was nothing. He has such incredible control of his voice.
I was a karaoke presenter and singer for over 25 years…. This man is absolutely phenomenal…. I bow down to a great talent 🙏
Amazing! Love this Chris! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼 Well done on creating a kickass vid getting Freddie’s ‘understudy’ - correct 100% as close as you can get to getting Freddie himself 🥰🥰🥰 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
Thanks so much man! Glad you enjoyed!
Lloñp
i leave this comment for a plus on youtube algos for great musicians and smart ppl here >>> !!!
I love Marc so much! When he sings I tear up 💚
Me too!
Ikr!!! Marc is a precious person I’m blessed/honored to know. He is beautiful inside and out!!
I do too! His voice is beautifully angelic but also powerful.
I would think partying and doing tons of interviews during the tours when Freddie struggled vocally probably played a huge role. Marc is like the healthy/non partying, efficient version of Freddie. Freddie will always be a high water mark for me, along with Paul McCartney for versatile singers. Thank you for this video Chris!
One of Freddie's biggest problems with regard to keeping his vocals healthy was actually very heavy cigarette smoking.
Famously Freddie's final USA TV performance on Saturday Night Live (available on youtube) his voice was shot from spending the night before arguing with his boyfriend. Marc takes care of his voice, only occasionally smokes a cigar, and keeps healthy. Freddie would still be rockin today if he'd taken care of his health and made better decisions.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 will be back later. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
glad to see you both
I just leapt here to listen to Marc!! Amazing voice ❤️
I do feel like Marc sings in a sligthly lighter, and safer way than Freddie and it's a wise move
Love this one Chris, hi Mark!! You guys are awesome for doing this for us all. Thank you!!
For the Queen movie, they had Freddie's archive recordings and I know for other things they had a sound alike singer. Was Marc Martel the sound alike?
YEP... He was THE soundalike singer for that movie!
WOW! Great video guys! Love the commentary and love the singing. I just have this huge soft spot for Queen and Freddie Mercury. And that truly is surprising when you consider I am a MASSIVE metal fan (actually more death metal these days). It just blows my mind that Freddie could do what he did, and Marc is pretty damn good as well; from what I have heard in this video.
I love this sooo much and could listen to it all day! Thanks for sharing! xo ❤️🎤
Even his face cut is somewhat like Freddie Mercury
I wish Freddie and Marc could've dueted together. That would be amazing to watch. I'd love to know what Freddie would've said about Marc. He'd probably say something like: its truly an honour, but why would you want to copy me, I'm just..."
wooooow I was excited about this one!! Marc is an incredible vocalist/musician
Such an informative course too! Thank you so much Chris, Warren, and Marc for sharing this with us! (And excited for more to come in the additional course!)
Do you answer to people sometimes Here ?
Awesome great music song. Rock. Great so sound. 🔥🔥🔥🤘
Great Inerview
Well, after having watched only 0:58 so far, I have to say something before continuing. MARC MARTEL, who I myself happen to be a fan of, won't be able to teach anybody to sing like FREDDIE MERCURY. What he's got, or the entire similarity of the both the voice and the ability of the performance, were inborn or given by the nature, which is in other words; a God's re-creation. Think of BRUCE LEE for instance, how many millions of Marshal Arts students tried to re-do what he did, but in his category there's no another (Marc Martel) or not yet. As far as I know, Marc didn't even know that Freddie existed, and he's a GEORGE MICHAEL fan. When Marc sings "Freedom" or "One More Try" he sounds very different, it's because again, he just simply has got Freddie' voice, even his speaking tone.
But, because I also happen to be a massive George Michael & Queen fan, and because I take Marc for a great singer as well, I might consider enrolling his full course when it's released.
You're right on so many levels! Even Marc talks about this in the videos we've done... Admits it fully... BUT there is a key difference between SOUNDING like Freddie, and SINGING like Freddie. We may not look like bruce lee or perform the feats he did, , but we can adopt some of the training and mindsets to enhance and enrich our own lives. That's what Marc's course is about!
Hey Marc when are you coming to India?
Or Colorado :)
Marc's voice is like an audio illusion:
You either hear Freddie or don't depending on if you want to hear the Freddie in him.
I think that is true in most of life. An open mind will always notice the similarities and still recognize Marc's vibratto is more controlled, pronunciation more precise and tone is thicker. Freddie's vibrato was irregular, and tone more pointed and compressed. Similar but different in truth. For those who want Freddie to be alive again it is exactly the same, and for those who want to believe Freddie is incomparable, they are nothing alike. I actually enjoy Marc's voice more than Freddie's.
Great video! Great singing, and great information too!! There was some amazing insight shared.
Thank you for leveling up my Monday!!! 🤩🤩 Marc is great!! Fans have been asking Marc for years for singing tips, and it's finally happened. Looking forward to the full course! You guys rock!
He's great I have him on my spotify
Pretty amazing voice! And that of Freddy Mercury also.
He should do a concert tour with original Queen :)
Sir Brian May and Roger Taylor don't even speak to Marc. They are aware Marc publicly announced a non existing camaraderie with them. They already have Adam Lambert since 2012, they respect and loves him like a younger brother. Your wish will not materialize.
Bro! Maylor are hellbent on proving they are worth their salt on their own merit, i e without Freddie. They are the stars of their own show. Why would they hire a frontman who would outshine them in a blink of an eye?!
@@doloresweatherspoon-bb4ul
Dolly, Lambert is a singing puppet . Martel is a full-blooded ROCK STAR. Maylor would become backing musicians were Marc to front them. They pay tribute to their own talents, not someone else’s. It’s their time to shine.
MARC MARTEL IS GIFTED WITH AMAZING VOICE,,IM A BIG FAN OF HIM,,FROM THE PHILIPPINES👏👏👏👍👍👍🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🎵🎶🎵🎶♥️♥️♥️
IM A BIG FAN TOO
HELLO FROM SERBIA 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎵🎵
Love it. What a voice. If I ever had 3 wishes, one would be to be able to sing like Freddie or now Mark. Excited to hear your own stuff Mr Martel!
His own stuff exists in 12 albums from Downhere, and 2 solo albums, Prelude and Impersonator.
Incredible insight you guys bring to us!
Hey Chris!!! Been following you awhile!! I LOOOOOOOVE this collaboration video!!! Marc is a friend of mine, and I’ve NEVER met a more HUMBLE person, kind, funny, sweet….and his wife Crystal as well LOVE them beyond words!!! Thanks for posting!!! Happy, Merry, Blessed Everything to you and yours!!!!
WOW Marc sings so good ! so accurate and powerful...amazing
Thanks for this video. As I frequently comment about Marc, he's "guaranteed to blow your mind."
🤘⚡🤘
Wow, it’s incredible! Chris, your idea of bringing in these amazing vocalists is so unique and outstanding! I’m buying all your courses, this one is not gonna be an exception! You should talk to James Labrie, he is doing a lot of amazing vocal interviews, he’s done great interviews recently with Charismatic Voice, Peter Orullian and Metal Voice. You could do possibly the best approach doing same thing with free and paid vocal courses with him! It would be really really great!
And, waiting so much for the AC/DC, Deep Purple stuff, like you did previously, taking 5-10 phrases and dissecting them in 20-30 minute video. This format is my favorite in your videos!
I would love to get an opportunity with James! Some of these guys are harder to reach than others :)
this video is gonna blow up. mark my words
Gran video. Le mandas un saludo de mi parte y le dices que lo admiro mucho?
Lo amo musicalmente hablando, claro jajaja
Saludos cordiales. Abrazo gigante desde ARGENTINA.
Awesome.
This is a wealth of education! Thank you so much for getting this together!
