Linkin Park Have a New Singer! | Vocal Coach Analyses "Emptiness Machine"

Introducing the Emily Armstrong era… 🌟 Find Your Own Unique Vocal Identity & Style 🌟 Join the waitlist for my brand-new course, coming soon! 👉 https://www.bethroars.com/course In this educational vocal coach analysis, Beth Roars breaks down Linkin Park’s live 2024 performance of “The Emptiness Machine”, opening on Mike Shinoda’s vocals setting up the band’s familiar alternative rock and nu metal sound before taking a first look at the new vocalist Emily Armstrong, formerly of Dead Sara. She brings grit, power and raw emotional intensity. This vocal breakdown explores modified vowels (especially on the “ee’s”), mouth shape, jaw position, fry distortion, clean-to-grit transitions, vibrato, breath support and the way Emily shapes her vocal tract to create a strong, aggressive sound without losing clarity. Released in 2024 as the lead single from Linkin Park's eighth studio album, From Zero, "The Emptiness Machine" marks the band's first new music written by the band with Emily Armstrong and Colin Brittain, produced by Mike Shinoda. Beth also looks at why Emily feels like such an interesting vocal fit for Linkin Park: different enough from Chester Bennington to bring a new identity, but still able to capture the emotional edge and intensity at the heart of the band’s sound. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 🎶 Free 5-Minute Vocal Warm-Up! 🎤 Get your voice ready to sing fast - grab my guide + audio track here: 👉 https://www.bethroars.com/warm-up 📖 Get Your Signed Copy of My Album "Fable": https://www.bethroars.com/shop Grab a limited edition signed copy of my album "Fable" 🥁 Support My Work on Patreon:   / bethroars   Join my Patreon community for exclusive content, early access, and more! 👉 My headphones: https://mezeaudio.com/products/109-pr... _________________________________________________________________________________ Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Intro 01:07 Mike’s Vocals & Vowel Shaping 02:40 Emily Armstrong 03:46 Distortions 05:06 Clean vs Gritty & Vowel Modification 05:43 Background & Following Chester 06:47 Vocal Tract Shape 07:41 Controlled Distortion 🛑 Watch the Original Video: Linkin Park - The Emptiness Machine | Live (   • The Emptiness Machine (Live) - Linkin Park  ) ❗Check out Linkin Park here: https://linkinpark.com ❗Check out Emily Armstrong here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emily_A... _______________________________________________________________________ 🌍 Follow Me on Social Media: Facebook: facebook.com/bethroars Twitter: @bethroars Instagram: @bethroars Thanks to our Editor: Luís Santos https://luissantos.onfabrik.com Want to edit for us?
