Vocal Coach reacts to Billie Eilish (& Finneas) - When The Party's Over (Live)

Hello, and welcome to Beth Roars, where we look at your favorite singers to find out what makes them them. Billy Eilish has had a meteoric rise to fame and his voice is quite divisive. However, I think he does some really interesting things with his voice, so let's take a little deeper look, so she's here with her brother Phineas, who is an absolute genius. I have to admit it. Don't you know I'm no good for you? I've learned well, so there's a lot going on. the style that she sings and it's something really fresh and new and I think this is part of the reason why she's gotten so big, her voice is so amplified but it's very, very quiet now people often say it's a sing-along in whispers and there have been points within his career, where he really breathes a lot, however, here it's not really so much that he has a rope closure;

She is singing quite efficiently but she sings in a way that is really like ASMR and this is partly due to the production and here you are getting the same thing. Her mic is really close and it's really amplified and you can hear every little lip smack, every

vocal

crackle and fry that's used a lot here, what this aroma is and this makes it feel incredibly intimate. She feels like she's singing right into your ear, so those floating notes where they cut off are all intentional. Your main focus is emotion, it's not the correct technique and the interesting thing is that you can use the standard technique

when

ever you want and I say this.

A lot of my students don't have to use the standard technique, especially in pop music, if they don't want to, but it's good to learn it because they know that she could probably hit that high note in a very silly way if she needed it, but for this, emotionally it makes more sense to have that fragile sound, uh, cut off and again she keeps everything so quiet and whispery or not whispery, like I said, he's a great singer too, so he often slips and gets closer to that vowel. uses some really interesting vowels in fact here it's using ldl but often

when

it's at the end of a word it does things like change it to oozo um pools through models instead of models so it often does things like that or she drops the r too and changes it to w and if she drops t it would be almost like a w if you let it, here you are hearing some of those consonants are actually so delicate sometimes she uses a dental d which is when she uses the flat part of your tongue so that the entire edge of your tongue instead of just a blade or the tip of your tongue to produce the d um and this makes it a little bit smoother.

He's very careful with his explosives, so he's not blowing up the microphone, he's not pushing a lot of air through it, it's incredibly detailed and it's like a little drum in his mouth, but again it's so delicate and so simple, okay , interesting, in part, that breath in the middle has to do with the fact that he's probably running. breathless because she's using a very breathy tone ah, she definitely uses a lot of that breathy tone in her lead

vocal

and sometimes she uses more of a middle close on the lower side so you can understand the actual tone.

She also has brilliant grades, really low ones. when you go down there, you have real warmth and ease and resonance, but you drop that resonance, you drop your breathing support as you go up, sometimes unless it's in a short time to die and then you put it back on, so, like I mean, it swaps between using the standard technique and leaving it completely in favor of emotion, however I also wanted to talk about that breathing because again the breaths are amplified a lot, especially

live

, sometimes on purpose within the production again, a big Phineas trick, but breathing means a lot within the song, our breathing can give us a lot of emotional context, whether we're happy, sighing, shocked, or excited, and these breaths are often used and amplified further within the production so you get that thrill. context of them, in fact, there is a trick that is used a lot in movies, listening to that very calm breathing and then, sometimes, once we have both said goodbye, maybe something normal within this style at the end of a sentence it would be ah. and then you would start with the light, you would go quiet and breathy and let the vibrato flow to where she often goes and she pushes towards that and she does it much more beautifully than I do or, for example, she will drop the breath support as let him do it.

Louder, he whispers things when people feel like it needs to be a big moment and often just takes the opposite of the way he sings and just sees how he feels. Can you do something with that? And that is something we can. In reality, everyone learns the way everyone has always done it, it's not always the best way and it's not always the best way for you, so sometimes it's fun to play with opposites and see how it works, see what you can find. in that fragile silence when I get home and I'm in my house I see that breath there again I could say wow now I say less is more with this but somehow it's not less it's more because everything is so perfect So I thought carefully when everything breaks when it cracks when you put the consonants how you put it where the vibrato is where the breathing is all of these things are incredibly detailed and I can be sure that she has been through every moment and the result is something that is fresh, new and extremely emotional.
