Dude you get me hyped... I've always loved Maynards voice and you break it down so well. You've given me a deeper appreciation for vocals and how it's such an art. Layers, so many layers. It's not just about hitting the notes. Thanks man.

VICARIOUS especially already has 170,000 hits or so. haha and I didn't even know I was being filmed.. It was a test run.

i think what makes Maynards voice so captivating is how he ebbs and flows between a vaguely feminine and vulnerable state to burst forward into an overtly masculine and bitter primal roar. so it ignites something in us that is unconsciously understood.

"Pitch, break-up, and fallout" Describe your love life in 3 words.

I'm not even a singer, but it was so cool to watch you break down MJK's style like that. I'm sure I'll start to pay attention to some new (to me) nuances of his voice from now on. Specially because I simply can't stop listening to Fear Inoculum since it came out, it's almost disturbing. Definitely will be checking more of your work here, cheers from Brazil!

Yes! I love the way you explain Maynard's lower and higher vocals. I think when most people think of Maynard's vocals they think of that incredible scream he can do, but there is so much more to his voice! The emotion he creates in his lower range is so moving! Which I would argue that the most important thing about a vocalist is their ability to create the emotion that they want you to feel. Great video!

“What’ll it take to get through to you precious” is the actual lyric in The Outsider.

If we're talking unique voices, Chino Moreno must be somewhere on the list!

You can do a whole breakdown on their song “the pot”!

Maynard truly emotes his lyrics, he very much acts out each song and word. I love how you break it down, I can't sing or play an instrument, but I am great at listening.

It is also worth noting that Maynard is an actor. He knows how to put emotion in his performances to the point where it feels like he truly believes the words he's singing.

Oh man I love Maynard’s voice. On that note I would love a future video for chino moreno since those two did an amazing collaboration for the track “passenger” ❤️ PS. I totally get you on the intuitive approach to letting your voice almost walk itself through a phrase or riff. It’s only something I can access at certain times when I’m mentally and physically focused yet relaxed and receptive

This is great man, thank you for helping me understand one of my favorite vocalists. Excellent job!

Amazing! This helped so much, I love it when you are experimenting with your voice trying to replicate the sound, I do it with you and it helps so much! I’d love to see one on my favourite singer Thom Yorke, but tbh I’ll watch any video you post!

Bro you are extremely impressive. I really like the confidence you have when dialing in on the vocals. I think that's why i have problems with vocals. I think i look and sound goofy, but man you just have that "whatever I'm going to do whatever it takes cause i know I'm going to inevitably nail it" outlook. Very cool stuff!

MJK is one of my all time favorite vocalists so thanks for this! It was a real affirming feeling to hear a lot of the notes/analyses I had made on MJK’s voice during my commute/vocal work sessions echoed in your video here! Most of the analysis I came up with was predicated on all the content & framework you’ve laid out in your channel so just wanted to shout out that this stuff really does work and following your stuff in one month I’ve made greater strides than on and off years of trying to move from just singing quietly in the shower 😅

You sound great man! Really awesome job with these videos

This is just amazing breakdown and demonstration.

At 10:46. I call it The Maynard shiver. Love it. Great impact.

This is really good man! Easy to follow and you explain stuff really well. Keep up the good work. More maynard stuff always welcome :D

Somebody finally made this video! Thank you so much, Undertow was the album that really made me wanna learn how to sing. And you even talked about that insane scream at the end of Bottom to boot. Good stuff

I like your comment on Maynard’s articulation. It’s subtle but adds so much to the sound. His pronunciation of everything is so spot on, I find it very tiring to sing because I have to work so hard on nailing every syllable.

It's amazing how much you have a similar natural quality in the vocal tone The funny voice your using sounds like Perry Ferrell ! The clean thing is pretty great Nice work !

This is so amazing,..,.tnks for the tips and teaching us this art in Maynards voice. :) Good vibes from Uruguay to you...

Great video, I really like the way you explain the process of creating and getting to a certain sound.

I've always had trouble with that, "So loud, " movement in Eulogy. So I look forward to trying this method you have.

Maynard is a genius cause he doesn't just sing, he act the songs and makes you feel the emotions with his voice. He's not just a singer, he's more than that and is why you can't forget his voice ones you hear him.

Brilliant! If you could analyze Mastodon's "Blood and Thunder," that would be amazing. There's a great isolated vocal track kicking around youtube, so thw ferocious fry screaming is clear, but I imagine a lot of us would really benefit from your technical dissection.

Thank you! It's incredibly interesting! Great video!

Really excellent stuff. Merry Christmas!

You are my hero. I have watched nearly every video you have ever produced. I can just imagine that you are probably the most like me person that has ever existed. Eddie Vedder, Maynard, Layne Staley, Chris Cornell, Jeff Buckley, Bono, Robert Plant, Jim Morrison, then the Candian guys, Big Wreck, Tea Party, I Mother Earth, Our Lady Peace, Tragically HIp, Neal Young, are the corner stones of my voice. oh yeah Scott Weiland. Basically I taught myself how to sing nearly ever song any of these guys ever wrote. and now im working on Jared Leto. You are literally the only other person i've ever heard of who is capable of and as obsessed as I am with replicating the sounds these other singers have made. And in my older age with less than my perfect youthful voice a lot of your techniques help me achieve what I used to do without effort.

Hey Chris, I realize that this would be taking the channel in the dreaded gear-head direction, but, would you ever consider doing an episode on your vocal chain and your rig? Your voice comes through crisp and clear, it's a joy to listen to, and it would be great to learn from your process and setup.

Yes, "we dont want to sound like Scott Stapp"

I'm so glad I chose KZread over sleep. This is excellent content :)

I always feel like I'm safe to expose my silly voice with your videos as I just started out with singing (proper singing actually, not just spewing notes without a clue), and you give me the confidence I need to try out stuff without feeling embarassed, and I actually feel like I'm getting better, so thank you for all your content is what I'm trying to say ahahah. P. S., I thoroughly enjoyed your ep on Spotify P. P. S., will you ever consider doing a video like this on Jeff Buckley? The man was a legend and keeps me motivated to improve every time I listen to him

Dude you got that very nice voice of maynard this is one of my fav video of yours ) true that

YESSSSS THANK YOU CHRIS , way to come through like that haha

Dude...... the fucking scream in the grudge. Sometimes to this day when I'm playing my guitar along to that album when that part in The grudge comes it still gives me goosebumps and sometimes I just stop playing just to listen for a minute. Hes so next level man

dude u are awesome, a true genius

Awesoooooome video as always

Thank you so much ,Maynard is my no.1 inspiration 🤘

Thanks a ton. You're Amazing!!

Brah, you are by far the best vocal breakdown channel. Could you do a video on Soen? Any song would be appreciated but The Words or Pluton are my favs

I have regrettably been a wuss about singing all my life. Good advice to young people: if strangers tell you they like your singing then you should pursue singing. It's easy to hit a bad note & get down on yourself. Videos like this one, other musicians and a little work can make all the difference.

I just had a milestone of sorts happen during this: so I got hyped when I heard the scream from “The Bottom” come on and I unintentionally had some distortion/grit happen when I was getting excited about it and then I tried out using that placement and I think I am that much closer to finding where to put my distortion at because it was the best distortion I ever had accomplished and it didn’t hurt my voice (I had to clear my throat a little after so it wasn’t perfect) but I had no pain so this video helped me reach another milestone!
