Sent you an extract :-)

Ok i got it. Yep this one is great man. You are using here a more opened wovel, but not too splatty and shooty. For the overdrivy exercice, you don't want to feel the sound stuck in your mouth. You want really feel like belting, but the sensation must still set high in the palate.

To me, both "i am running out of strenght" are mixed voice. The first one has a bit more meat but the difference is subtle. What i refered as "pure chest" would indeed be a very overdrivy sound on opened wovels (on the audio, you are using covered wovels, which automatically throws you in a certain amount of mix). Yes, the overdrive must feel like very effortful at the beginning, and any vocal tract shifting (being too harsh on consonants) will make the voice yoddle in a bad way. But with the propper support and phrasing, you will be able to go up there. That may not be the sound you are searching for, but as an exercice it will help you getting a heavier mix. This stuff is quite Advanced and it must be monitored and never be so harsh that you can feel it the next day. You already got a good light mix and good head resonance. I feel what you just need now is to put just a bit more compression to the sound.

Do you use this mix on A4 and before? If you want to sound chestier, i think you will have to think about having at least A4 in full chest voice consistently when you sing and try to get up to C5 in full chest when you do scales. It sounds counterintuitive, but after a while, you will notice that your mix is getting beefier through all your range.

I think part of it is falstto but mainly this is definitely a light mix. When polished, this sound can be nice to sing light things, but if you want to sound heavier, you will have to bring more chestiness. What you are doing is already quite Advanced, but for leaked air in my opinion is a result of the chords not being fully abducted. I had the same sound, a bit less twangy than yours though. With the right exercices it will eventually strenghten.

Thanks Ron!

Thank you Gneetapp! There will be more coming soon

hi guys, I am Quentin Bouvier, a French political scientist who likes to sing rock n roll on his free time. Some here might know me as I had another account, but I have been more a lurker than a poster. I recently started my YouTube channel to get out of the closet and showcase my singing and see where I can get with it. I am also a student of Phil whose work has been awesome so far! On top is my audioslave cover. If you like it, check out my other covers. And don't hesitate to subscribe as there will be more!

Nice start man, but you leave our ears craving for more. I have sung the song myself a few times and for me the hardest part is the line "Now you'd better stop .... despite of their loosing". So hard to pull the pronounciation because Robert Plant also sings so high...

Excellent man. I like the fact that you switch effortlessly between many different styles of singing thus giving a very original interpretation. At 1.10 it sounds really bel canto. Very different from the original but it works well. I also noticed that you are way chestier than Tate except on the E5, as Tate would sing entierely in full head voice. I am mistaking to say that the way you do it is even more difficult than the full head approach? How much do you have to support to do this?

Excellent performance, great control and stage confidence. It was a real pleasure to watch. In the first video, is the B4 at the end a covered head tone? If so, you really got a nice compression and great formant tuning, because this is no easy note.

Wow sounds awesome. You got a nice smooth voice throughout all the range and it pretty much sounds like the " sls mix ". Good vibrato as well. And all that while playing the guitar. But i would say the same thing Geno is talking about. You seem to be very focussed on what you are doing. You can be the best singer and not win the audience if you don't put some stage presence.

I listened to the video clip and i actually prefer your version. I don't know if it is a stylictic choice but on the video, the high notes are very tight and seemed to be reached by force (at least thats how it sounds to my hears). I found your rendition better on these parts.

Good overall performance. On the verses there is pitchiness that you manage to correct, but the part " you'd better close your eyes.. OOOhoooo " is off key. The second screaming section (E5) is cool, it sounds very halfordesque (in both the timbre and use of delay), and the last screaming sessions(A5) is surpsrisingly cool, i think you are on the edge on your range and yet you bring an extra push, good drama quality.
