[TheSusietv]

are you people even watching the video 0;41 she say GROUP evanescence not singer group people big diffrents ><...neways great video makes me wanna work on my vocal but its hard when you a smoker lol

[Pierdenzo]

good



[REIREI29]

Good vid. Amy Lee is the singer, not Evanescence; that's just the name of the band. And My Immortal certainly isn't anywhere near a Pop song. :-)

[LestatsMonCherie]

@SingLikeYouSpeak Thank-You, Ma'am. I'll do just that! Have a nice rest of the evening! (:

[LestatsMonCherie]

Pardon this, but quick question? How does she sing so loudly without going into falseto?I know it's to do with her completely opening up and singing from the pit of her stomach (I think? xD) but is there any tips on how I could achieve this a bit more effotlessly than I do? Haha

[SingLikeYouSpeak]

@LestatsMonCherie Yes, it has to do with how she breathes and then lets the sound move through her. Take a look at this site SingerQuickFix. com. There are 2 good videos for you: Singing High and Long High Notes. Good luck!

[sporkular]

aw amy lees the singer evanescence is the name of the band. And also she's not a pop star shes more alternative rock. Not tryna be picky just saying.

[SingLikeYouSpeak]

@sporkular Thank you for straightening me out. I don't like to label people or music into little boxes. That's why!

[sporkular]

@SingLikeYouSpeak shes a very good singer isnt she? before I listened to her, I was trying to hard to make my voice sound "ideal." Now I hear the good things about my own voice I dont try to cover up how it sounds normally.

[memery555]

THAAAAAAANK YOOOOU!!!!!!! you helped me so much!!! :D

[SingLikeYouSpeak]

@memery555 Cool. That makes my day!

[WhiteWolfxBlackWolf]

Thanks for the video :)

[iShinelivefan]

Evanescence is a band, Amy Lee is the vocalist

[Sk8erboi753]

Evanescence doesn't sing. It's a band. Amy Lee does

[sallymmorgan]

@Sk8erboi753 Yes, you're right. Amy is their singer. Thank you.

[kat2156]

This is awesome, thank you very much! I actually have a cover of "Call Me When You're Sober", and "Like You." But with this advice, they could be better. Haha! :D

[SingLikeYouSpeak]

@kat2156 I'm so glad the video helps! If you'd like even more specific help w/your voice, visit my website for a free video lesson plus other low-cost options. SingLikeYouSpeak . com Keep me posted on your singing!

[kat2156]

@SingLikeYouSpeak

Wow, thank you so much, that's great! I will really look into that. :)

[MissRitaLee]

I have 14 years so my voice is still developing. I can reach F3 to F5, without falsetto, without warming up and I don't have music classes, what kind of voice do I have? Do you think that I could sing evanescence songs comfortably? My voice could ''fit'' in evanescence songs?

[SingLikeYouSpeak]

@MissRitaLee without hearing your voice it's difficult for me to say. Do you feel comfortable when singing the song? Then you should be ok. Are you getting voice training?

[MissRitaLee]

@SingLikeYouSpeak I'm not getting voice training. I'll send you a video.

[SingLikeYouSpeak]

@MissRitaLee Cool! I'd like to hear.

[Teenscenequeen98]

Help :) thank you sorry the comment got cut my iPad does that sometimes :/

[Teenscenequeen98]

Can you do a video on how to sing as high as Amy Lee sings in her song Hello when she sings the final bit her voice is REALLY high and I can't get my voice to reach that level it would really he

[SingLikeYouSpeak]

@Teenscenequeen98 I will do my best to do a video about that. It will be a month or so before I can get to it, so check back.

[joolsfactor]

And....further to my previous post.I would certainly not describe Amy Lee as having a great rock voice! She has a good voice no doubt about that and it suits Evanescence. But she is not a great rock vocalist.

[SingLikeYouSpeak]

@joolsfactor Everyone is welcome to their opinion.

[joolsfactor]

@SingLikeYouSpeak for the record I have not missed a thing. As a vocal coach I prefer to work with my students developing the voice, their songwriting and unique artistery. You state the obvious. Of course you have to be true to yourself...your own voice...to be an artiste. Notice that I say "artiste" and not star?Stardom may come through this with a whole lot of self belief and hard work. That is my message. I would never mislead. Good luck with your business venture. Great to speak with you.

[joolsfactor]

Waffle. I am a vocal coach based in East London. This person says "be yourself, be your own person" and yet posts videos with titles like How to sing like Beyonce, Taylor Swift/Amy Lee/Evanescence!! I think shes just trying to get more business to be honest. Also stop waffling about "vulnerabilty" Of course artistes are vulnerable. Your not saying anything constructive or helpful. Opening up is important but students need to know how to do this. This is NOT a Detailed Vocal Session.

[SingLikeYouSpeak]

@joolsfactor These videos were posted in response to requests from singers who wanted to sing like these artists. You may have missed it, but I am giving the viewer a few technical tips on how these artists approach their singing. It may be helpful to some - it's not meant to be a detailed vocal session. My message here's what this person does, but to be a star, you've got to be true to who you are - your own voice.

[Blackdragon99omfg]

Dude Ev so wins Amy no real hardcore vocal training and different sound. I like the emotion in Amy's voice and the past experience you can hear in it. Truly moving when she wants it to be

[SingLikeYouSpeak]

@Blackdragon99omfg Yes, Amy is vulnerable when she sings - that's why we respond to her. Good stuff!

[xoclkox]

...What in the world? Can someone please explain to me how this had anything really to do with Evanescence/Amy Lee other than the song reference?

Something tells me this chick just used Amy's band name for false advertising and as a way to try and get more views

[SingLikeYouSpeak]

@phantomofaghost Welcome!

[ItsXChrisXCrocker]

i love amy lee

[SingLikeYouSpeak]

@ItsXChrisXCrocker Yes! She's great.

[ItsXChrisXCrocker]

@SingLikeYouSpeak Can you teach us how to sing this: Eb3 E3 F3 F#3 G#3 A3 C5 C#5 D5 Eb5 E5 F5 F#5 Bb5 B5 C#6 E6 E7 ???? these are voice ranges right?

[SingLikeYouSpeak]

@ItsXChrisXCrocker Those are specific pitches. It's very close to a chromatic scale. What about this do you want to be taugh?

[ItsXChrisXCrocker]

@SingLikeYouSpeak how to sing high and low like this, and how to train our voices like this :) because that would be awesome :)

[nizc0rvan]

Should've put the title as sing like Amy Lee...and Evanescence isn't Gothic just hard rock with a female vocalist...now tarja from nightwish is far more talented than her and Evanescence

[SingLikeYouSpeak]

@nizc0rvan Thanks 4 turning me on to Tarja. I have to disagree about the talent factor Tarja may have a good voice but it needs lots of training yet to be great. Just my opinion

[TheGomishi]

@nizc0rvan Why must people feel the need to bring up Tarja or Sharon or whoever into Evanescence video and prove their superiority over Amy? Enough with the comparisons, but if you really want to go there: Tarja is a soprano who’s been thoroughly trained in opera, whilst Amy is a mezzo who’s never received any formal vocal training aside from her highschool choir – yet she has a very decent range and technique. Also, Amy is much younger than Tarja…Tarja is far more experienced...

[AidenIgnitionMusic]

I would've have trusted you maybe a little bit, until you called her a pop star..

[SingLikeYouSpeak]

@AidenIgnitionMusic What would you call her?

[AidenIgnitionMusic]

@SingLikeYouSpeak She's more Gothic- Alternative- Rock.. 

[SingLikeYouSpeak]

@AidenIgnitionMusic Ok. So you don't count that as 'pop'? I was using the word to cover many classifications w/in pop/rock. Thank you for telling me.

[SingLikeYouSpeak]

What about singing in YOUR voice? If you learn right then it's your unique sound. Much better than imitating someone else. SingLikeYouSpeak. com

[alixxmcr94]

Ive always dreamed to sing like Amy Lee :)

[4EVERINTENSE]

my step phather admitted that Amy Lee can sign very well and he told me i have good taste, even though he doesnt listen to her type of music

[SingLikeYouSpeak]

@4EVERINTENSE Good for you! How about you? Are you a good singer?

[4EVERINTENSE]

@SingLikeYouSpeak :D well i have been in choir in middle school and the whole class would clap everytime i sang solo, but last year during my choir test i had a cold, i got a b+ but the teacher didnt know i was sick, i tryed to sound normal and i did! the teacher told me to open my mouth more because i sounded a little bit nasal X( i guess if she knew i was sick i whould have had a better mark. i have thought of it as a carrer :D i like singers that actually sing for the musci, not for the fame

[SingLikeYouSpeak]

@4EVERINTENSE You must be a real musician. To realize that it's really all about the music and being true to the music - that a singer serves the lyrics and the music. Don't worry about a grade. In a few years that won't matter at all. I know many famous musicians who were told in school that they would never be musicians! Keep goin, girl.

[4EVERINTENSE]

@SingLikeYouSpeak awwe thank you!!! that is really nice of u. i have been cheking the website. it is good!!

[SingLikeYouSpeak]

@4EVERINTENSE Thanks - check out the blog-There's a lot of great information for singers - vocal tips, music biz, funny stuff - check it out!

[bewareofit]

right, but if you have a naturally big voice to start with, your voice will always be bigger than someone born with thinner vocal chords right?

[SingLikeYouSpeak]

@bewareofit Training can do a lot to increase the resonance in your voice-which is what makes it sound big-It has nothing to do w/vocal chord size-that makes a difference in range.

[ffacfreak]

watch?v=nxEgNSkh4ZA&feature=re­lated check this out.she has no dam vocal training and though she sings classically!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[erinpickering]

the only difference is - Amy knows how to sing chest - not mix in her head...... most of this song is done in her chest and very few places are not.

[SingLikeYouSpeak]

@erinpickering She's make a 'style' of flipping from one voice to another What I teach is that it's all one voice and there's no need to flip from one to the other if you train it as a natural instrument. Check it out SingLikeYouSpeak. com

[NewAlive]

@SingLikeYouSpeak I really can't believe this: as a teacher you should notice there's something wrong in the way she sings.

[SingLikeYouSpeak]

@NewAlive Of course I notice, but the purpose of this video is to take a look at what she does right - why she's a star. I get students all the time who ask 'how does she do that' so this is my answer to that question.

[NewAlive]

@SingLikeYouSpeak

Than sorry and thanks for clearing up a misunderstanding :)

[NewAlive]

Whay the hell...? Amy Lee does NOT sing properly! She squeezes her throat really badly.

[SingLikeYouSpeak]

@NewAlive Can you show an example from youtube?

[NewAlive]

@SingLikeYouSpeak Sure. There are many examples (almost every song), but listen to any version of 'Everybody's Fool' live, or even a recording. This is an undeniable example.

[SingLikeYouSpeak]

@NewAlive I tried to find an acoustic video to watch - nothing. Typical if the singer can't really sing. I'm hearing an awful lot of 'ping' in the voice that's been added in the studio.

[Etiros]

@SingLikeYouSpeak That's nonsense! Amy is absolutely amazing at singing and there are acoustics. Just watch this one, among others: watch?v=by1Nyh0H56U

I'll be the first to admit she does have some faults when she sings but she's had absolutely no vocal training anyway. She's gotten TONS better in her most recent concerts than before, though. Just search "evanescence MYC ballroom concert" on youtube and you'll see what I mean.

[Etiros]

@SingLikeYouSpeak Sorry, I meant NYC ballroom*

[ILovesucksI]

no one can sing like evanescence !

[rey982]

@ILovesucksI You re right , heheh

[SingLikeYouSpeak]

@bubblesrock303 Yes, I know. I used Evanescence because it's more recognizable. Thanks for listening!

[bewareofit]

actually i think the large majority of people, no matter how dedicated or skilled vocalists they are, they will never be able to sing like amy because she's an epic voice. you can't change the thickness of your vocal cords. most people just don't have big voices.

[SingLikeYouSpeak]

@bewareofit It's true that you can't change your physiology - how your body is put together - but you can train the strength into your voice. With the right training you build the muscles to support a powerful voice. Check it out: SingLikeyouSpeak. com

[rwbterminator]

does this apply 2 a guy?

[sallymmorgan]

@rwbterminator Absolutely. An open instrument - meaning you - is how to begin w/good singing. Trust your body to produce the sound naturally.

breathe!

[rwbterminator]

@sallymmorgan thnx!!! =D

[sallymmorgan]

@YMaryThedaLynn Hi, the best advice I can give you is to become very aware of how you are singing - the muscles you're using and how you are inhaling. I can offer you a really inexpensive way to learn through my membership website - SingLikeYouSpeak. com Let me know how I can help!

[sallymmorgan]

@Trixareforkidzz1996 LOL! Why do I scare you?

[Trixareforkidzz1996]

@sallymmorgan just the way u talk but its ok cuz u can sing lol

[JuliaBandonni]

OMG! Has she ever watched an Evanescence live performance? Everything she says about Amy Lee is exactly the opposite of what she really does... and WTF when she sings "all of me"?

[sallymmorgan]

@JuliaBandonni Amy Lee is laid back in her approach to her singing - her technique isn't caught up in tension, that's what i meant by laid back.

[evanescence9314]

amy lee is NOT laid back at all. Watch evanescence live in tokyo 2007 or anywhere but home concert. She literally rocks the stage out. And she's always moving around and making all kinds of facial expressions. REALLy, amy lee laid back?

[sallymmorgan]

@evanescence9314 Amy Lee is laid back in her approach to her singing - her technique isn't caught up in tension, that's what i meant by laid back.

[FutileGrief]

"When you watch her you see almost nothing happening, there's no extra facial expression, it's all very laid back " - Seriously, Have you SEEN her sing???? I adore the band, they're my favourite band, but her facial expressions are incredibly exaggerated. Even when she's sitting on her piano in a non concert environment she does SO many faces. Not relaxed AT ALL.

That aside, it's a great video. Check out the dutch singer Sharon den Adel from Within Temptation (ice queen) It will BLOW your mind

[sallymmorgan]

@FutileGrief Amy Lee is laid back in her approach to her singing - her technique isn't caught up in tension, that's what i meant by laid back.

[charmclaudio]

i would love to have a voice like Amy Lee. it's so serene yet a little gloomy. LOVE IT!
