Emotional! Vocal Coach Reacts To Linkin Park - Given Up (Analysis)

Подробнее о видео

This video provides an educational vocal analysis and performance insight into Linkin Park’s “Given Up,” a high-octane anthem from their third studio album Minutes to Midnight (2007). Departing from their early nu-metal roots, this track leans into alternative rock while retaining the emotional intensity and sonic innovation that defines the band’s identity.

Featuring the iconic Chester Bennington on lead vocals, “Given Up” is best known for its explosive 17-second scream—one of the most legendary vocal feats in modern rock. The song explores themes of disillusionment, burnout, and existential frustration, encapsulated through a visceral performance that continues to resonate with fans worldwide.

As a vocal coach, I break down the technical demands and emotional delivery behind Chester’s performance—from breath management and compression to vocal fry and distortion. I also explore how Linkin Park’s unique blend of aggression and vulnerability pushes the boundaries of genre and vocal expression.

🎙️ In this video you will learn:
🔍 The 17-Second Scream: How Chester Bennington sustains one of the longest screams in rock—and what it takes to do it healthily.
