Umm... what does that even mean lol. Larynx lowers naturally when you approach those pitches. Forcing it to be neutral down there would actually be in theory 'unnatural' (and just saying, it would attract more tension than a lower position). I second that |

Hmm I read somewhere that low larynx is often used to reach low notes outside their supported range and ideally we should use neutral larynx when singing. There's a similar comment in this vid www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UVMt0TOPzM
"Most of the examples of improper lowering of the larynx you will hear will be in the lower register, as it's often the go-to for singers in attempt to produce tone and volume where they can no longer support, or just not support in general."
But maybe I misunderstood. Idk if here's the right place to discuss about technique, but my point is are his F#2s supported or not?

Please do yourself a favor: If you really want to inform yourself about vocal technique via YT (which is generally not something I would recommend), at least watch voice teacher content to do so and not a weird video of a channel called "Christina Aguilera Fan". Thank you :) |

Thank you  I'd say Sam Johnson, Marc Reynolds, John Henny, Steve Giles, Greg Bystritski are some of the teachers on Youtube who actually know their stuff. Also I'd like to say that there is a big distinction between the terms vocal coach and a vocal teacher. Very different things. |

(But don't know Greg Bystritski yet, I'll check him out) What's your opinion on Zach Ansley? In case you don't know him yet: He's a full time voice teacher at a US music studio and has a university degree in classical vocal (with emphasis on Bel Canto vocal pedagogy), but is also a Progressive Metal vocalist. For technical analyses of typical pop techniques, there are more suitable ones, but he's still very interesting imo |

I don’t really have much of an opinion on his teaching but I do think he’s one of the good ones. I do also disagree with him on quite a lot though. And Greg’s not really a teacher per se. He’s sorta like Fahim you mentioned before. Greg can do A LOOOOT with his voice. Pretty incredible stuff. |

I’m not really hearing the D2. The 'love' is originally D3, he sang an octave lower.

He kinda did Amy Lee dirty by reacting to a bad performance of hers though :p. Not sure if that was a fan-requested performance or not though. |

Zach seems to be a great voice teacher (more specialised in classical music though) and would really deserve more subs. He's more on Twitch than YT now, for the following reasons: a) death threats from radical Dio, Dickinson and Freddie fans b) being threatened to be sued by Ken Tamplin :/ |

Wouldn't really count those fry notes in Lifeline.
Or at least colour them as fry.

It's pretty clear fry voice to me, and counting it without somehow noting that it's fry seems a bit weird to me. But maybe that's how we do it around here these days. |

^ By melodic, I mean it's easy to identify the note. Eb2-C2-Bb1-C2. When someone do vocal fry, I find it hard to tell what note it is as it has speech-like quality. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_79FgDrCrs&t=3m12sG#5
Is it mix or mask placed head voice? |

I really don't think that this is mask placed head voice. I'd say it's either mix or reinforced falsetto. But tbh: There's no other singer I'm familiar with with which I have as much difficulties telling the used register as with Brendon. In so many cases I thought it was mix, vocal coaches said it's probably reinforced falsetto. That guy's reinforced falsetto is SO good that it's really hard to tell. Anyways... a G#5 is always high and impressive no matter what register |

IDK about Bruce or Freddie. Also, how could Ken Tamplin sue him just for criticism? IDGI. |

Zach is just.. more critical than most vocal coaches, and he pointed out flaws of almost all singers he has reacted to. And for radical fans that's enough to hate him, even if 95% of the critique was immensely positive |

Concerning Ken vs Zach:
Well... Zach basically said that parts of what Ken teaches were not sustainable and even "dangerous for the voice".
Of course, it's a strong statement, and of course, it can be financially harmful to say sth like that publicly about a person who earns their money as a vocal coach... BUT
a) in this case it's max. to a tiny degree, Zach has a rather small YT channel
b) Ken is huge and earns a lot via a huge YT channel, his online coaching and real life coaching (and he's also involved in TV shows and stuff like that). I'm sure he's a wealthy guy, whereas Zach is most probably not wealthy at all. He's just a "normal" voice teacher at a music institute and has a rather small YT channel
c) Threatening to sue someone is an ABSOLUTE no go. You just don't do that. Even if Zach's impact on Ken's reputation (that's in fact really tiny) was bigger. If you are part of the YT community, there will most probably be some kind of negative critique and you need to deal with it in a reasonable way and not run around threatening people via lawyer's letters. (And btwm Zach insulted TRP too 😄 Did they threaten to sue him? 😄 No, of course not)
I can't tell who's right in the technical discussion per se. Zach has the higher education (a university or music college degree in vocal pedagogy) of the two. On the other hand, Ken is more experienced and is specialised in contemporary music and Zach in classical music (and Zach is criticising parts of Ken's teaching methods for contemporary singing). However, I would absolutely agree that Zach is more focuses on vocal health than Ken is (vocal health is kind of his main focus in singing).
Anyway... I'm totally on Zach's "side" here. He seems to be a really good voice teacher (and I generally prefer Zach over Ken) and threatening to sue someone (who is much less wealthy than you) bc if some negative critique on YT is an absolute no go.
Okay, I'll shut up now 😄 this is a Brendon Urie thread and not one about YT vocal coaches 😄 so I'm sorry 😊
