I’m currently 13 and practicing on my vocals so when I become older I might
stand a chance of forming a decent metal band! What would you recommend I
do first? I haven’t any ideas on where to start. What songs by Iron Maiden
would you suggest?
My voice is around the same pitch as yours I suppose. (Near enough really)
Are there any other videos by you that can possibly answer my questions?
Or…?
Hi. I’m 16, and looking to learn how to get a sound very similar to this,
and like Stu Block’s scream-like vocals in Iced Earth. Is there a
possibility to contact you personally for prices on lesson and such, so I
don’t need to really push to try and attempt these notes?
What is the intro song to this video?
You are great coach! My question is this – isn’t belting harmful for the
voice,especially that high? Keep rocking bro! m/
I don’t wanna sing like Bruce Dickinson. I wanna sing like this guy at the
video.
tried to sing “Run to the Hills” in the car the other day … it’s really
hard!
I don’t know how many of you caught the comment left here before it was
marked as spam and deleted, but Mr. “Superior Singing” or his people, keep
spamming my channel with comments trying to direct people to his vocal
course. AVOID this guy like the plague. Bullshit crap.
What’s the song in the beginning and end? That’s some sweet guitar work
You forgot Michael Kiske in the list of metal singers that still sound the
same.
Thank you so much for this video. Bruce is a favorite of mine. Also, I just
had an audition as an Iron Maiden tribute frontman, and got invited back,
but am under some typical Bruce notes by about a 5th when I try to belt
(like the D at the top of El Dorado chorus). The band is ok with me
adjusting melodies, but I’d like to be as faithful to Bruce’s work as
possible. This video gives me the most hope of anything I’ve come across.
Even though my voice is still kinda shot from that audition two days ago, I
tried Run to the Hills chorus using chest and head and could do it! Didn’t
sound very powerful, but it’s a start! Looking in to the course you mention
at the end of the video. Thank you!
Kurt Cobain techniche please Tx
Hello Kevin, I’m 33 years old, I would love to sing, but isn’t too late to
start?
Breaking the Chains is already helping me break my chains, in just a couple
of weeks. I’m finding it easier to sing Dickinson’s high melodies now,
rather than singing a 5th under him, as I’ve been doing to survive my
Maiden tribute frontman role. I can’t make it through a whole set of songs
like that yet, but I’m getting a little stronger everyday and it sounds way
better than my shattered, shredded, yelling on pitch approach…
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you
Hey Kevin, great video, first time seeing your channel. I have a question,
you may have covered in another video. I have sang Priest and Maiden in
bands before, however i am now starting to do Iced Earth covers and i find
it very hard to add the distortion and power to the high notes, i sound too
clean doing it, any suggestions about how to do this? Cheers!!!
Hey the way I know Bruce’s singing isn’t by his throat, he sings the high
stuff and long notes with his diaphragm to prevent loss of air in his
lungs.
Hi my name is Paul Hewitson, I think your voice is right up there
mate….spot on!! don’t want to spam your post but you might like to check
me out see what you think…..I think bruce has a deep tone thing going on
as well being able to hold the notes I tend to use the back of my throat to
get this affect ….I ve done this job now for 14 yrs and I feel its kinda
getting there…… all is good in the world!!
thanks P Hewitson.
hi dude,, new subscriber, you’ve probably (and I’m going to check) already
done something on this before, but I consider myself to have a naturally
“deep” voice, although I love (thinking) that I can sing Halford-esque and
Dickinson-esque ranges. I’ve grown up in the 80’s of metal (My first record
was Poison’s ‘open up and say ahhh…’ when I was 7 years old, so basically
I’m a totally born metalhead… who can appreciate ALL styles of musi exept
new-age pop and new-age country…
anyway, I’m starting to record my own music and am after ANY advice
what-so-ever on voacals, as I’ve been a drummer for many years and am
finally branching out into the unkown lands of (being able to sing so it
doesn’t just sound good to me) singing and song writing… I’m a complete
novice whan it comes to singing for someone else and would be completely
appreciative of any advice you could give… this particular viseo has made
me think you know the style I’m talking about, 70’s,80′,s and to a lesser
degree, 90’s, metal…
regardless of my “dilemma”, great vid man, got me subscribed straight up…
Dude-your awesome. What’s your name? I do most of the things your talking
about naturally…WTF? I don’t understand it. The only lessons I had were
in Catholic Grammar School to sing in church every first Friday. I WISH I
could afford to come into the City and meet/sing with you!
Nice!!
Enjoyed this, great hearing musically literate people! Strong ‘belt
register’ preserves upper full voice range…
I can sort of fake some of D’s singing but realized long ago that the
control and formation of clear notes is much bigger than ‘forcing’ that B4
5th note each time. All that to say I have much respect for a craft
that’s… beyond me.
Kevin id love to see you do Number Of The Beast, Id love to cover that
song,but that scream he belts out at the beginning of the song is tricky!
Please, can anyone tell me what is the song at the intro of this video?
Thank you!
Anyone else think M.Shadows is going to be the next Bruce Dickinson?
Yes you can teach the technique…………. if they have the
range……….. singing over your capability damages your vocal cords
after some time…………If you do, you loose your voice like so
many……… its nothing they are doing wrong its just that they have
damaged a part of there vocal range that was not there natural
voice……….. And you Will too If you preform every night for 4 Month’s
go in the studio the rest of the year none stop for Ten years this is a
fact Please be honest and dont try and convince a kid that they can sing
like there heroes….. Hight range singers are born not made.
Mr, Please do make a video tutorial On How To Sing Like Philip BAILEY Of
Earth wind and fire please!! :'( I Want his range so badly…
Not sure why you dont do more “how to sing like..” videos like this?You got
a great voice and sound ALOT like Bruce when you sing in his style.
nice room, actually that room makes the job pretty well
Great stuff Kevin! Your technique is spot on. Curious… what do you think
of Ken Tampon (Tamplin) sorry lol :)
Hi Kevin , my name is Anthony I’m a singer (5 years …I’m not famous) I’m
from Greece but I’m not singing only greek songs ( folk music) I never had
a real teacher to learn me……as a result many times to get my voice
injured that’s because I didn’t manage to sing by my diaphragm , yet ( let
alone in English which are more difficult than Greek songs). I always use
only my vocal cords ( especially for the high notes ). How to sing without
injuries and get high notes without “fake ” voice ?
Hey Kevin do you smoke? What do you have to say about people who smoke and
there voice?
Their
Better lesson and singing than Ken Tamplin’s… Cheers !
Wow, Kevin…!!! Personally, I think you’re a genius in this realm.
Extremely technical and palatable education here. I am completely blown
away. Thank you!!
do a video about ronnie james dio.
with training (head voice) can sing these notes (i’m baritone my highest
note is c4 Brazilian notation) … a C, then middle C of the piano …
What’s your opinion on Chris Cornell? One of the greatest?
Hi Kevin one of my favorite singers is Geddy Lee of RUSH he started out as
a falsetto, by 1980 around Moving Pictures and Signals albums it changed.
What type of singer is he from 1980 till today? I don’t sing but I dig
Geddys voice
Thank you brother!
One of the best demonstrations of connected head voice I’ve seen done
acapella. This is a very basic hallmark of a skilled teacher of voice. They
can actually show you via their own singing voice, that the results you are
looking for, are possible to achieve! Kevin has that slam dunk!
The Big Plus with Kevin Richards is, he holds your attention with great
teaching skills, his teaching style is very concise, yet relaxed, second
nature. Kevin consistently delivers (in his instruction/guidance) valuable
“gems” of insight in the quest to achieve exceptional singing! Thanks
Kevin!
How does one develop that internal musculature you are talking about in the
beginning of the video?
They then trained the birds to sing a second song in which the same syllables were strung together in a different order, ACB-ACB.
It is sort of unimaginable for a singer to improve his or her pitch without the assistance of a competent voice instructor who has the knowledge and expertise to deal with pitch inaccuracies, diagnose their causes after which present solutions that work, including some ear training and vocal approach instruction.
Songs can be used to study phonics rules, math details, lifestyle abilities and a lot extra.
