I just did a vocal cover of Chris Cornell's song Gasoline. Check it out here:

When I first started singing, songs like this were absolutely impossible...even the notes in the verses would have been way out of my comfort zone.

So I recently asked 3000 singers what their biggest questions were about Freddie Mercury's singing technique.  I got back so many responses it filled up pages and pages worth of questions!  So I created this in-depth video which I am calling the ULTIMATE Freddie Mercury singing technique analysis!  If you've ever had questions about:

• Freddie Mercury's belting technique
• His high ranged singing
• Distortion technique
• Breath support
• Freddie's smooth connection from chest voice to falsetto
• as well as his vocal damage and vocal struggles

Then you're in for a treat!  The video is timestamped:

• 00:00 Introduction
• 01:15 Was Freddie a baritone or tenor?
• 02:39 Freddie's smooth chest to falsetto connection
• 03:25 "Life has just begun" technique demonstration
• 04:34 Studio vs live
• 06:13 Freddie's vocal damage
• 08:10 Freddie's live vocals
• 09:37 Freddie's G#4 struggles
• 11:58 Refined chest voice (mixed voice)
• 14:45 Freddie Mercury's vocal range
• 15:33 live recordings BEFORE vocal...
