how can you not just absolutely love Courtney? she's so great.

[JohnDoe-mvbe]

She said once she's never taken lessons, her singing and screaming sounds SO natural!!!! Favorite vocalist in metal.

10:25 "GENERATE THE SNORK BORK!"

[Sausage]

I never realized how soothing her speaking voice is. I could fall asleep just hearing her talk 💤😴🥱

[TheKaartmann]

11:07 : That spontaneous smile right after you nailed the screaming tells everything !

[zach]

I like the fact you take ur time writing a song, you obviously have the talent to scream/sing to anything how fast you want but to create a masterpiece takes time and patience and that is why every song spiritbox has released this year is amazing.

[SuperTornado]

This video is a vibe I would love to watch more artists do behind the scenes of songs.

[theotherrobzombie]

I love how she's just so genuine and not embarrassed by the process by which she does things. I've never seen this before and always wondered how this whole process of putting a song together goes. I'm sure it's different with other bands. They do what works for them. This is just cool to see. I feel like I'm in the band. 🤘🏻

[adamsharpmusic]

that was really inspiring actually! something as simple as just using a word generator to come up with a starting point is such a good idea. Loved the full song on gear gods!

[wolfstar]

Courtney is the best.
I'm so waiting for a Spiritbox LP!

THis takes guts to put on the interenet. I just imagine this is a very personal thing for most artist but maybe Im wrong.

[stevofficialmusic]

This is awesome. It takes guts to be vulnerable enough to let people into this process. She just does it so willingly and unashamedly. This is affirming for me and my vocal writing process personally, but I’m sure there are others out there who have watched this who are empowered and affirmed by this as well.

[ajjohnson]

I could listen to her sing gibberish for the rest of my life.

[arnaldorulz]

This is why she is one of my favorite vocalists I have the same exact process and I thought I was lazy in doing it in that fashion but she validated the process and I'm happy to see this

[snowtrodden]

I think Nik Nokturnal and Courtney could create a banger.

[davidwolfe]

She is to me the most diverse women in metal on so many different aspects i love it hands she is my favorite female vocalist

[MechanicalPeanut]

I'm so glad you recorded your side of that Courtney! Very cool piece. Now I more fully understand how you and Michael write so well together. Definitely an interesting way to write, by humming a tune and finding appropriate lyrics afterwards.

[Elviolli]

I can't even describe how awesome this was to see someone in their creational (yeah it's not a word I know) element. You'd be so damn vulnerable and exposed doing all that kinda thing on camera. I know I could never do that. What an up the good work y'all! Victoria represent!

[Stewdiggy]

A Dallas Green/AOF reference. I still do not understand how those guys didn’t blow up in the states. Still love that band.

Courtney is super talented! Love spiritbox, can't wait for a full album!
