Episode 11
Added 2025-07-19 10:00:04 +0000 UTCWhat actually makes a K-pop vocalist good? In this episode, I break down the vocal technique markers I personally use when listening to idols, from tone quality and larynx positioning to phrasing and delivery. Whether you're tired of the “support = talent” myth or just want to understand WHY some voices hit harder than others, this is the deep-dive you’ve been waiting for.
I’m not here to rank, I’m here to decode. Let’s talk nuance, let’s talk execution, and most of all, let’s talk sound.

Hahahaha thank you so much for this beautiful comment!! Yes people give Adele and other mega successful people WAY too much and don't consider the technicalities objectively! I'm sure i'll be talking about Taeyeon a lot more once her album drops! Can't wait. Thank you!

2025-08-11 19:13:52 +0000 UTCOMG! loooved this onee, really enjoyed your insights especially explaining each part with proper examples. Particularly in context of kpop, where I've barely seen people give proper insight and also a more complete approach to understanding vocals. (Its not all about high notes!) Don't even get me started on the vocal tier bullshit that 99% of "kpop vocal analysis" videos use. On your descriptions of examples, I know that it must be a pain to also make a video alongside just the podcast, but I found it sooo helpful here in context of vocals with seeing each person you described you could see exactly the jaw placement and execution in their singing. I really appreciate this extra effort you made with all this. And I really enjoyed the initial section about support!! Had a conversation with my brother before about Adele and the difference between her being more of a singer, but not necessarily the best vocalist. Boy did I get a chat from him. Not to mention he said this to his girlfriend and apparently she was OUTRAGED of what I said as a huge Adele lover SJKSJSKJKS anywayssss (Also side note: love to see my queens Taeyeon and Sejeong get the spotlight on their vocals! also haven't heard you mention Taeyeon in a hot minute and it for some reason got me surprised like I shouldnt be, this video is about vocals ofc Micah would mention her SJSKSKJSKJD) Also I died at the end with the "See you lot next time... I don't know why I say see you, its a fucking podcast" ahahahahaha

2025-07-21 17:08:18 +0000 UTCRegarding warm and cool tones, J from STAYC would be considered warm right? And im guessing Changmin would be cool? Or a mix of both?
