THIS Cornell line unlocked my Low & Mid Mixed Voice!

After years of frustration and tension associated with my upper chest voice notes... When I internalized how Chris Cornell sang this one line... My low and middle mix finally clicked for me!

"When we throw that resonance back" Quack quack Chris the duck🦆😅 love it

There is a Cornell cover band called "Superunknown. "... you can plainly hear the singer doing this on live performances... When I tuned into it, I realized that was the 'trick'... DGMW, Cornell is still Cornell ...

Thanks to reveal the secret sauce behind these gems and fantastic explanations as always many blessings to you!

Cornell was the most technically proficient Grunge singer, but it's important to write things that will make your voice shine and bring out the best aspects of your own voice. For Cornell, that was the piercing screams and power/brightness in the high range. For Layne Staley it was something else. For Eddie Vedder it was another aspect. Everyone should develop their range, but it should be accessed in a way that accentuates the unique and best qualities of your own biological voice. I'm no Cornell or Chris Liepe but this concept helped me write vocals where I sound decent at least

BRO. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED. EVERYTHING IS GOOD EXCEPT THE LOW PARTS OF MIX… THANK YOU CHRIS!!!

Bro this is hilarious I found exactly what you are explaining trying cocaine recently through that experience I noticed that when I sang Paul McCartney my vocals were closer to that on the record so I went on google and learned he experimented with cocaine during the time they were working on Sgt. Pepper. I wouldn't recommend my way its not the healthiest but it really helped me in finding that resonance basically bare your teeth as much as you can and smile as bright as possible while flaring your nostrils as much as you can you want to look as manic as possible it will feel strenuous at first but eventually it will become second nature been doing it substance free for a couple days now and now I can get aggressive without really getting loud I love it.

This is an amazing insight. The lack of backing off on nasal placement in the low range though I think is actually what defined alice in chains as a slightly more abrasive vocal style in the same style of singing. This video is super helpful as I've been trying to figure out how to extend my chest voice into mix with compression!! Genius explanation of a genius singer.

[KingConan]

Amazing explanation for something I've always loved about Chris's singing but never exactly knew what it was.

THANK
We have a similar passagio, and I too have struggled with this line FOR YEARS.
YOU RAWK!! 🔥🤘🏽🔥🤘🏽

[theonetruetim]

That's so funny.
Same wave, brother - we be on.
That very passage did a similar thing to my intuitive presence in all this, as well.
No sh$&, real deal. [But - i gotta admit - it wasn't the video version ] Burden showcases, or isolates a similar contrast of technique - per register/style considerations.
Love it! Either and every which way.

Great video, whenever i am singing cornell vocals i always have a mental mantra of vocal health and not reaching too hard, the reason he was able to do this for years is because he knew his voice well and respected the voices limits with a work smarter not harder attitude. Love the content as always❤️

Jesus man! You nailed it! This is Chris!

[nicolassalvadorespinozacoa]

THANK YOU!!! I'M YOUR BIGGEST FAN EVER. I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO SING THIS WAY DISCOVERING MY OWN VOICE

[mmerc]

I miss that mans voice more than anyone. A lifetime of music cut short.

[KiKeCervantes]

Your work sharing these videos and researching these new approaches to understanding the greatness of Chris Cornell's singing is just priceless man. Thank you

[joshdrewpic]

I would add too another key thing tonally is it feels fuller because it ends in chest. So switching to a mix for the higher note and coming back makes the whole line feel thicc

[iisakkitoimela]

Chris, thank you for doing this. I was able to unlock this sound by watching this video and it felt awesome!!!💪

[Kommaer]

I have not got any vocal lessons but this is somehow a child's play for me

[jesusanibalespindola]

Wow, amazing, you really unlocked it

[fenderfox]
