UNRAVEL by Ado is HAUNTING | Vocal Coach Reaction to LIVE and STUDIO recording

So today we're going to look at ad unravel a  very difficult performance from an anime that actually I personally watched too so it does hit  home for sure I do love the original I have been planning to react to the TK's version on the  first s for some time now we're just resolving some uh copyright issues with that one but I'm  looking forward looking at that as well let me know if you would like me to check it out too  but today we're going to look and uh finally enjoy ad's version of this so

ng this song is very  performative we know that Ado can do that she's a master of performance at the end of the day  but I'm so excited to see how she balanced it it's going to be heart-wrenching it's going to be  emotional so I'm exide excited to hear that and we're going to look at her studio recording  and on the live version because on the last live that I reacted um you guys really wanted  me to see the original one I reacted to show you were quite disappointed that I didn't see  the origin

al the studio recording as well so I decided I'm going to do both so let's get  into it we're going to start with a studio [Music] version [Music] look at it impact on the last tone there  so we've got a lot of Airy introduction it's almost but she's doing that Airy  feeling not in a very released way not in that way she's almost if  you do want to scream and yell but you have have to restrict  yourself into the very stressed whisper so it's almost like screaming but  in a very quiet way so it's

not a relaxed nice sweet little whisper  there's a lot of tension in it [Music] and the tremble Ed as well it's insane how you can build up in  atmosphere through something so simple as almost whispered [Music] singing she's getting  a little bit more and the last time was playan just to get you that soft and strong [Music]  [Applause] [Music] in when I heard I heard just an introduction to this song by Ado I was  really surprised that she decided to cover the whole intro in this kind of like U

very whispery  style I am planning on covering this song as well so I'm trying not to not to ingrain her version  in my brain Tod because I know I will be then tempted to do something similar and I want  to do my version but it is if you heard TK sing this song as well it's very important to  have a very soft introduction but you don't want it to get romantic you don't want it to  get sweet you have to have a really stressed panicky very painful kind of approach into that  almost heal whisper a

lot of air a lot of almost restricted whisper just so you introduce the  atmosphere but it has to be small so you can create a huge massive contrast and it's about  to come it's it's about to hit us very soon [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] so [Music] so notoriously first chorus does not use that  much of a texture she used a little bit of it I'm just actually now really flabbergasted  because in my head I'm remembering um the TK version and it's really interesting how  similar th

eir Styles actually are the flips into the belts the very uncontrolled like  really released pressure in those higher spaces that is so brave because it feels  like it's going to crumble any moment but they have it really safely under control uh she  is very standardly based on her technique that she usually does have use tons of vocal flips  but uh again still pacing herself still pacing [Music] herself [Music] [Music] yes nice [Music] all right we have inter inter there so I can in  in TR ther

e for a second if you know the song you knew what was coming I knew she's going to nail it  I actually really love that she made a pre-build up to that with a tiny bit of like more of a dry  fry there just so she can get a really deep grow and like wet wet fry to that big punch that comes  in that song really interesting choice because most singers do really go still very small before  they give you dead attack and she started to build up in advance which I like because still she was  able to cr

eate a huge difference there uh the pre-build up was more on a clean side with more of  a dry texture and in that big big big punch with got more moist texture so that grow that really  nice wet fry but it was coming from the heart right there that was coming from the [Applause]  [Music] heart I love this version [Music] too look how he's she's utilizing her she doesn't have to breathe after every  short phrase there that she wants you to feel like she's being literally almost chased like  she i

s making you feel like a chased animal it's incredible you [Music] [Music] like I love how she's crashing on  the last tone of that CH she's crashing on such a pretty clean tone she's on purpose making  that tone very pretty because after all of that just texture and all of that monstrosity  of the sound that she creates which is incredible she ends up on that beautiful  tone just to completely break your heart [Music] there you hear the last [Applause] [Music] tone that  climb down is really di

fficult you are constantly fluctuating  and climbing down from that head voice you're working constantly  around your vocal break so up in a head voice and break vocal break and  crashing into your chest right there [Music] [Music] [Applause] super oh I'm sorry this song just makes so [Music] [Music] emotional o damn damn d That's a good version of that's a  incredible version of unravel unravel requires such an energy to be put and detail to be put in  dramaturgy of that song like an inner dram

aturgy of that song and Ado in general is really good at  her vocal ARA like she knows what she's doing she knows how to do that um she's going to take  even the simplest song which unrev is not a simple song but she can take the simplest song  and still via her vocal ARA create multi-layered a very multi-dimensional piece so when I when  I heard that she's going to cover unrel I knew that we're going to get like a whole Orchestra of  things put in and I mean we're not disappointed but the first

gr the first punch of that uh  that was insane that was beautiful and I know that she she put everything into it when she  was recording that like you could hear the pure pain that was coming straight from that  heart what we're going to be expecting on the life performance is how is all of this going to  adapt to life sound how especially the repetitive Parts you have to manage your air very well  there uh and yeah we're going to see how that big tone that big girl there is going to translate 

into live version I'm excited let's go and see it so very soft [Music] [Music] [Music] beginning she's actually going with much  cleaner tone in here so in the recording but in a recording in a studio recording you can go into  much softer sounds like the microphone is still going to pick it up it's going to translate  well into the recording so like this effect of that suffocating kind of whisper would  be really difficult to translate into life performance like this it's a huge Arena you  hav

e to give that tone some substance so it translates a little bit more out so some  effects are cool to make in a studio and a little bit more difficult to translate it into  the life [Music] stage God I love that song so [Music] much I [Music] listen how she leaned into the she rolled it at  R so she can get the texture in it so [Music] beautifully this was a part where wasn't in the  studio she went to which is one of her favorite sounds to do so she is kind of  exchanging here it a little bit

it's fun to hear beautiful I've talked to a lot of people  about [ __ ] uh vocal flips I want to do a separate video about [ __ ] singing style so  let me know if you would guys be interested in something like that but um those flips  are helping her to Anchor her Bel so a lot of people think that those are kind of like  an additional weight on her singing style but no it's actually helping her to sing  the way she does so she can get wider and more Brave sound out of that than the very  stylize

d precise jumping into the [Applause] [Music] tone [Music] beautiful but you can tell that she  was prepping for that big one way in advance I was actually slightly worried because she was  pretty much running out of the air there it can you can hear the right before the repetition  the you can hear her already trying to get as much air in as possible like just with a  tiny air hiccups just refill refill that cup so she has that energy for the big one  that was insane Dar it translated [Music] b

eautifully wow [Music] Dam she did it there so I'm going to replay  don't worry but she did those little hiccups she actually made them over  even more overe exaggerated in this version good the last beautiful tone was definitely there  she I'm I I'm suffocating with her the way this song drains you of any air is insane oh my God you  can see that she's trying to refill refill refill as much as she can she actually put more texture  here than in the recording in the studio recording because the

texture can actually save you quite  a lot of air parter what probably you would think the idea of descending from that head  voice into such a heavy texture is so cool honestly how it's actually kind of  pity that she didn't do it in a studio recording I would love to see it in  a studio recording because that was such a cool stylization there and then  into that heavy texture on the bottom damn that's such a brilliant idea oh my  God I'm so happy I love this s of [Music] her oh good you only m

ade me cry once there's  a very simple reason why with the second one I was literally not breathing with her this  is what I do with my students as well when they're performing I'm literally breathing with  an artist so for the second one I was just like oh breath here o breath here just sneak it  in because we're running out of it for sure gorgeous performance you could tell that she was  in certain parts she was really coping with the lack of air and with the pressure of the song  the pressure

of the song is insane she's not an artist or performer to crumble you can tell  that about ad she won't crumble but even this song was like really pressing her too the very  very edge uh but her technique was saving her there quite a lot the flips were very prominent  per usual and uh the way she's capable of moving around her pager with her vocal Break um and  of course the insane texture like her girls and her wet fry is really something that she's at  home which is something that you need to

have for this song for example me I'm a very clean singer  I've been raised classically so texture is still qu I have still quite a lot of mental block from  texture but I'm working on it because I do want to cover that song and I do not want to let you  guys down and sing it like in a very clean like a good girl away so I'm going to try my best  to really bring out that texture in my voice but again if you are used to that as a singer  it's just such a blessing because you can see that actuall

y in very often she was relying  on it instead of being scared of it she was relying of it on it gorgeous I am so happy she  covered that uh that is such a unique song and it such I have such a strong relationship to that  song there was a time where I literally couldn't listen to that song without without without  crying fullblown crying until this day it's just it's a very special song to me it's a very  special anime to me as well so so when I hear that someone's going to cover that I'm like

oh please  just make it good make it good so thank you so much for recommending Ado I saw your comments  and uh yeah if you did enjoy this video please don't forget to subscribe right here here is the  video that YouTube actually recommends for you and here is a rest of my other reactions please stay  safe and healthy I'll see you next time bye-bye
