This is an objective analysis of Zayn's vocal technique.
I included the registers (and falsetto), vocal control, belts and agility. I did not include his specific vocal range but I talked about it shortly in the specific registers. This is no hate towards Zayn.

Thank you for all the support xx For updates, Instagram: @mjsjeed NEXT ANALYSIS: Pentatonix NEXT VIDEO: Fifth Harmony (self-titled) - Album Review
Mjsjeed 😘😘😘😘You do everything Great❤
Mjsjeed and I waiting for Fifth Harmony's video😘
Great video as usual 😍 I have one question please I'm male singer and I have a big problem 😅 If F4 is like the easiest note ever, I start to strain at F#4 so badly and when I go higher it sounds really heady and breathy and weak. How do u explain that some singers can go really high with improper technique compared to some others ? And who"s better between Liam and Zayn according to you ?
Thanks for this video and for the next album review 😍
Oooo I'm really interested in the PTX analysis :) Looking forward to it!
Im a niall girl but i always knew liam and zayn had the best vocals and techniques
Same, but I'm a harry girl
@@rye.c then harry and zayn has the best techniques
@@rayhanmario7630 i love harry but i definitely think liam had better technique
@@ella-pt1nw Actually, Zayn and Harry can't hold a candle to Liam when it comes to technique.
@@stZxt Um...no. Look Liam has a great voice and technique, but so does Zayn. His abilities to switch and to know how much to push. He doesn't have much strain on his voice(we are ignoring 2014 btw). And this is said by MANY vocal coaches, so if you don't believe me, you can take a look at them. However, I am NOT degrading Liam. Bestie's got great techniques as well. Peace!
Zayn and Liam were the best in technique and range in 1D (though I like Harry's tone better than Liam's, Liam eats Harry in technique). Zayn is my favourite though, because he's creative and likes to change things up a bit live. He's freer, while Liam is more structured (which is not a bad thing).
It seems like you never watched one one direction performance, because liam has always always changed the notes live
@@queenc9714 relax its her opinion.
Zayn is one of the greatest vocalists of this generation.. I'm so proud of him 😍
I’ve always liked Zayn’s voice, it was always distinctive compared to the other guys and just a sweet voice overall. Thank you this great. xo
His voice is very relaxing , i cant stop listening to his voice. I watch some of his live performances ,audios. I love his voice so much
His high notes are always appreciated, but for me I love his lower registers the most. It sounds so velvety.
Zyan voice kept improving over the years and it's still improving he is one of the best male singer
Zayn’s voice is velvety. There is nothing he can’t do. He has power and understands what his instrument can do. 1D didn’t appreciate him. He is King..🤩🤩🤩❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Honestly his voice is so heavenly I love it
As I say he is amazayn
Zayn has a great voice😘 He is very talented❤ I love it Mjsjeed😘
Gresa jade we all love Msjsjeed
hung pham viet Yes this is true because it best cannel ever.That had inspired me do do great videos like this channel💠💠
would've been nice if you included zayn's belt/high note i rock me, specifically the live version. it's a note that's always impressed me a lot so it'd be cool to hear your analysis on it
he's straining a lot when he hit it so i doubt you'd like what they are gonna say
I agree with all of this, even though he’s my fav. His runs are inconsistent and sometimes I dunno where he’s going with them. Lol I Liked his Voice performance of Like I Would over his iHeart Radio performance. Even though everyone always shows that clip of him at the end. When I liked his belting of ‘he don’t know your body’ way more on the Voice. Still there are people who don’t realize how crucial his voice was to a lot of the chorus’ in 1D. Take the crowd away from cheering you can really hear the difference. I always felt like he was the median between keeping Louis/Harry on key. Harmony wise.
Runs inconsistent?
@@halimahay2872 TBH only two of his runs were not fluid. thats not enough to be inconsistent
Yeah!! Thanks for noticing Zayn's incredible talent!! He has been overshadowed at times and under appreciated a lot during his 1D days....glad to hear him singing his own music now too.
His agility on fool for you blows my mind everytime
My throat felt really uncomfortable after watching this video and the One Direction one 😂😂❤️
Zayn's voice was always my fav ❤
Thank you so much for this ... Zayn has a great voice ... I hope he will continue to improve his techniques !!!!
he is literally one of the best singers i’ve ever heard and i appreciate him so much. he’s so good. i can’t stop listening to him
I always have this thought, he always sounds nice up to B4 and it turns out, he can support that note although it's inconsistent but that's still impressive!
All of these performances are from during / before 2016. Can u imagine how much has he improved in these 4 years.
Zayn's voice is just so amazing. I love everything about it. Though I'm not the biggest fan of him lol.
Zayn is very talented! He have unique timbre
No one is perfect though!😊 But still he is best among young singers! 😍
Thank you, I was waiting for this. I love Zayn and I hope he'll get better and better :)
I hope he does, too xx
Great video and according to me Zayn is the best modern singer in the world
Fuk no Adam lambert destroys him
@@michael_demiurgos2034 dude he said according to him. iam a fan of zayns but i admit adam lambert is better that doesn't mean other people can't like who they want to
My baby ❤️
Yay boi Zayn, now encourage Harry to learn good technique! Thank you for this very informative evaluation of 1 D Mjsjeed!
Thanks for your analysis. I love ❤️all the 1D guys voices, but I prefer Liam’s and Zayn’s voices the most. However, this just goes to prove that all singers, no matter how good need vocal coaching from time to time. I believe Christina Aguilera once said that about her voice as well. Anyways, people think longevity in the music industry is about a unique voice, but personally, since the definition of a unique voice is subjective, I think it’s more about preference 🤔
Please break down Hozier’s technique. You’re doing exceptionally good work with pointing out important things.
i just started watching your vocal analysis videos and i love them! i'm wondering if you would be able to do a vocal analysis video for brendon urie from panic! at the disco, as i have never been able to find one. if you are going to do one, please let me know because i would be very interested in watching it. thanks, and great job!
thank u so much♥.
A king👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you....zayn is my oxygen😘👌✌❤ 4:05 OH MYY IM SO PROUD 😍
i like his song/music and wow he can support as high as B4... if he's consistent, he will be a very good singer.
I know one direction hated to dance but it's so awkward just seeing them idle around on stage
They were only like that during televised performances. During concerts, they were very active on stage even though they didn’t do much choreography.
I LOVE ZAYN !!!
the best !!!
I just really love him Zayn Lois loves you
I love ONE DIRECTION, they're talented and their voices blend beautifully. Hope they'd go back together again. Love love love
His belt in loved you first when he was life was perfect
Belle video: côté artistique et technique ...
Those are so interesting to watch
You uploaded this while I was in gym class 😂 Oh well I finally got to watch it because I'm home now :) Is this what you meant by my voice making a wobble in my recent cover: " A wobble can be the result of inconsistent or inadequate breath management or 'support' (e.g., too little breath energy), a lack of focus in the tone (distorted acoustics with improper or imbalanced tone), a lack of proper (firm) adduction (closure) of the vocal folds, singing with too much "thick vocal cord mass", dragging too much chest voice or "heavy mechanism" too high - thus the entire voice suffers from overblown or over-weighted production - or a shaking diaphragm. Singers who use an extremely lowered laryngeal position will eventually sing with a slow, wide vibrato - the stereotypical operatic sound. Over-weighted voice production (trying to sing too 'big' or carrying the heavier, 'lower mechanism' too high in the voice) can slow down both the temporal (per-second) and pitch excursion rates of the vibrato cycle, and the accumulating air pressure can make the voice sound tremulous. This also causes intonation problems, with the pitch going flat and a lack of upper overtones". (I got this from a website because the link wouldn't work) But I didn't know I was doing this. This definition just makes me more confused to be honest and really I thought it was my natural vibrato doing that little vibration in my voice since a vibration is normal when singing anyway.
Hey there! It's sort of what I meant, in the sense of "inconsistent or inadequate breath management or support". You do have a nice, natural vibrato, I've mentioned that before. But when you're out of breath, it results in the so-called "vocal wobble". And your notes tend to go flat whenever that happens, but it's all about practice! Just try to take breaths at the right time (and not too deep ones) and manage to sing with just the right amount of air. It's hard to find that kind of balance, but I'm sure you'll manage xx
Mjsjeed I uploaded another cover on my IG. I'm singing Nobody like you :) I thought about the phrasing you said and did my best to have a link in connecting the words together. Also, I would send you my covers but I can't see your message button. I have a tablet so that's probably why, but oh well. I even think I have ease with lower notes in this cover. I hope you enjoy hearing it
Do one of brendon urie pls
Your videos all are amazing.. I’d love to see a vocal analysis on Shawn Mendes :3
yes, another Mendes army
tbh i think one of the reasons zayn’s voice isn’t always properly supported is because he’s literally not trying, esp in the later performances when it was clear he didn’t even want to be in 1d anymore. i’d be really curious to see him perform when i felt like he actually gave a shit about what he was singing lol
Can you try vocally analyzing the singer for Twenty One Pilots, Tyler Joseph? I really like these analysis videos, they’re really informational.
Lovely video, thanks for making it, if I can ask have you picked up on any improvement from the insta covers he has posted lately?
Really,that Like I would run was very confusing,to say the least. Otherwise,I love his voice and how soothing it is
u probably have a lot of requests on ur list but i was wondering if u would be able to do a vocal analysis on blackpink and rate them in terms of vocals?
I dont really care any of these comments but zayn has evolved too much. He is probably the best singer in one direction and all his vocal controls together with the chest voice, head voice and falsettos are clean as hell.
What about Harry??
@@angrytiger6228 It's between Liam and Zayn for best singer in 1D. Harry's technique is not great.
@@lolaa.8161 yep . liams technique is better. but his belts are not powerful and highnotes sound squeaky. and for me his tone is way too bright
Can you please do one time 5 Seconds Of Summer? I love your video's btw😍❤
Can you do Calum Scott vocal analysis?
Cosa c'è da bere? Io bevo il succo. Mi piace! Voglio di più (haha just wanted to let you know). Ho bisogno di praticare il mio italiano. É noioso. Maybe not. Grazie per mille per questa video. Sei sempre bravissima. Anche, non dare in ciò che la gente dice. Il modo in cui presenti la tua conoscenza è oltre incredibile e spero che tu progredisca in futuro. Troppo troppo fiero. Adoro quanto sei analitico. Giusto. Mi sono allenato :) Per favore rispondi in inglese. Well if what you say doesn't leave me confused go ahead I could learn from it even if I do translate it. Ti auguro una buona giornata.
This makes me miss Italy and my Italian friends so much you have no idea haha. You're the most amazing person for being this kind to me & thank you so much for encouraging me. This helps me so much!! Your Italian is getting better as well, I'm proud! I'm sorry I'm so sappy in this comment I've barely slept and I'm in a mood. Wishing you an incredible day as well, hope you enjoy the video that's coming out later xx
Mjsjeed Grazie mille. I'm glad I was able to encourage you. Ci sono al tissimi muri interiori che si sgretolano di fronte ad un gesto di pura tenerezza. I can't wait to see the video! And I adore Italian so much more now. The reasons as to why I started learning might be silly for you to hear, but I hope I do get better in learning the language and I wish you every piece of love and hospitality. Abbi cura di te.
Can you do a 5sos vocal analysis, please ?
firstly i have asked for detailed vocal analysis of the three groups LM 1D and 5H on other vocal channels and they never did it. guess cz it is a lot of work lool. thanks for making these must be a lot of effort. i wanted to ask can u rate ALL members of these 3 groups in terms of who are better vocalists?? or like at least top 5 vocalists? including zayn and camila. thank you
my top 5 are perrie ally zayn jade dinah in no particular order
I got you! Hope you enjoyed. I can, obviously. Might not be what you expected though. 1. Liam 2. Perrie/Ally 3. Dinah/Normani 4. Jade/Zayn 5. Harry/Leigh-Anne 6. Jesy 7. Camila/Niall, 8. Lauren, 9. Louis. It's somewhat similar to yours. Hope you're good xx
Mjsjeed Thank you so much for replying! Ya your ranking is kinda unexpected but expected hah! Yes I thoroughly enjoyed your videos! i love getting to know more about singing etc and like i said i was really hoping some channel would make detailed analysis of these 3 groups! Thank you for your efforts and time!!
My Bean:,)
I have almost the same vocal range as zayn, the only difference is that he starts from A2 as the lowest note and I start from E2, and then my belting starts from A4 up to F4, from G4 to G5 I have to force to use falsetto / head voice. I would very much like to extend my belting from A4-F4 to A4-C5. do you think I will succeed?
Can you please do a vocal analysis on Bruno Mars?
Thank you so much. As always your videos are great. I want to ask you a question: I n your opinion who is the best vocalist in one direction? I would say between zayn and liam, but if I'm honest I think zayn. But you are the expert here, so that's why I'm asking you :)
Thank you so much! I'd say Liam, honestly. That's if we're talking technique-wise, because whereas Zayn has some bad habits (e.g. closing his throat), Liam has a really well-developed technique. Sure, his mix could be more even on some belts, but Zayn's mix is inconsistent and his support in the mixed register could really be higher. Also, Zayn should work on a consistent vibrato, not just in his upper register! So yes, it's obvious to me that Liam is ahead of Zayn technique-wise. Both of them have a great deal of musical understanding which I honestly think is an under appreciated skill. Anyway, I hope you got your answer xx
+Mjsjeed whats liam supported range?
@@mjsjeed184 You're so right!
Can you do why don’t we vocal analysis
4:28 i read D2 I was like ‚bitch that was never a D2‘
Do the backstreet boys or nsync
You forgot the last first kiss riif. Isn’t that one a bit complex
Do Bruno mars!!!
I have seen your 1d vocal analysis who would you think has better vocal and techniques liam or zayn
I love zayn but i think liam has the superior techniques. Some will argue but liam rarely suffers from the inability to reach certain notes and he does it beautifully
Can you do one for 5sos?
He only supports up to f4? People were running around saying he was supporting a4's. Oof. I thought his mix was his best.
Make a one direction álbum review
I'm having one of my moments of getting a little ansty, because it seems as if I can't do a falsetto. I've watched a few videos and I knew they wouldn't help to me somehow because they're unprofessionally made. After watching the 1D vocal analysis, you seemed to stressed that one the boys don't use falsetto nor head voice and that they need to use it because of technique or something? I can't remember right now. The thing is that my voice keeps going scratchy. My throat could be dry of course, but if isn't my voice just cuts off. It's really annoying and I want to improve so I don't have something major be missing on my technique. No, I can't really get an actual vocal coach right now. I'd rather do it online but it just doesn't appeal to me for some reason. I don't know what to do. I'll keep trying I promise. It's just that my motivation goes up and down at times. Do you have any advice on how to do a falsetto? It would help me a lot. Also while I was talking to an online friend I know (who is a light lyric soprano), she told me that doing a falsetto should be easy for me being a light lyric because I should be able produce an airy quality to it. Uh, well I don't want my voice type to define what I should do when I feel I really can't. It's also different if I sing along with somebody who does falsetto in a song (listening to the song and testing myself), but alone....harder than I thought, which I expected, but at the same time, they make it look so easy! I know typical answer but really, just looking at singers do falsetto make it seem effortless. I'm probably pouting here but I'm not going to skip over falsetto because I can't do it. I'm frustrated because I can't seem to know HOW to do it. One of the reasons why I should work on my head voice because I'm *slowly* progressing on that and I like it so far. Either way I didn't expect to drag a comment out this long. Hope you have a great day xx
Don't worry at all, you know I'll try to help. The reason I was worried about Louis was because he kept trying to pull his chest voice up instead of mixing or eventually falsetto. I know it can be frustrating, it will always be. You'll have days where you're annoyed and just stop practicing. That's okay, no one is motivated all the time! I'll try my best to help you find your falsetto voice. I'm not 100% sure what you mean by "scratchy", but maybe you're talking about the break from chest/mixed to falsetto? That is completely normal. Your vocal cords need to be absolutely relaxed, no sort of tension should be present. Just don't worry, let the tone come out. Try to start singing at a higher pitch, don't start low and go up. Just don't tense up and instead focus on blowing a bit of air and producing a high tone. It might sound extremely airy, but that's what falsetto is. If it isn't airy, it's most likely head voice. If that didn't help, PLEASE let me know (and it might help if you could further explain the "scratchy" part) xx
Mjsjeed What I meant by my voice going scratchy is how I said it cuts off and loses tone. I blow a little bit of air but that doesn't help it all (at least sometimes or rarely). I notice my voice taking short pauses and it sounds off when it keeps going over and over again. I can agree that I realized that I would start low and go up. I won't do that now. Grazie per il vostro aiuto. I'll try to practice when I feel as if I'm dedicated to. Salute!
Ariana Grande plssss love your videos
can u do Shawn Mendes' Vocal Analysis?
I will!
He screams in chest voice, there you go
He’s like the male Christina aguilera- straining every note of his range.
@@NameSurname-ee4sw Lately he's been improving. He sustained a mixed D5 live with vibrato and an Eb5 in studio. This is a good start since he used to crack already sustaining G4s. Good for him, really.
I noticed that unique vocals like zyan, camila etc they have many prb in their vocals but that makes them unique and recognisable. ... and ultimately they will shine and survive for long run. On the other hand good vocalist but no uniquenesss they will shine but not for long run. ...
Zayn doesn't have "many problems" regarding his vocal technique. Timbre and vocal technique are separate factors and are completely unaffected by the respective other. That being said, I'm sure Zayn will "shine in the long run", because he's a) a talented musician and b) a respectable vocalist. I understand your point, and it does apply when talking about intentionally bad techniques in cases such as Britney Spears. In this case however, I can't support your statement- especially because ACTUAL bad techniques can cause vocalists to lose their voice...so, "shining in the long run" probably wouldn't be possible. Thanks for commenting, have an amazing day xx
Mjsjeed my actual meaning was they hv uniqueness in their voice which makes them special and u can clearly differentiate them from others and that is need in this industry. ..
Yeah, I got you. It's just that there is no connection between that and their vocal techniques. Other than that, I agree- even though it's not a necessity to get far in the music industry, it does make it easier (assuming people like your unique sound, obviously) xx

ive heard some coaches say that his head voice or mask is strain free for e.g. in SHE. can someone confirm this ?
