JAKARTA - Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke revealed how he learned to accept a voice similar to Neil Young.

In a quote from Jason Thomas Gordon's upcoming book, The Singer's Talk (via Rolling Stone), the vocalist discussed how he honed his signature voice with the help of Young and Jeff▁menyarankan.

Yorke shared that she always felt that her vocals were'very high or awkward'. At the age of 18, she made a demo and sent it to a magazine that made her get good reviews and received a response: Who is this person? He sounds like Neil Young!

"I asked, 'Who's Neil Young?'" recalled Yorke. I've never even heard of Neil Young, so I went out and bought After The Gold Rush and said, Wow! It's okay to sound like that? Because he's a little taller than me, but there's softness and naiveness in his voice that I always try to hide. Then, it feels like, 'Oh, maybe I don't have to hide it.'

He also explained how▁gagasan helped him accept and feel comfortable with his voice. "While we were working on the second album [The Bends], I met Jeff Buckley before he died," he said. Once again, the question came out of me. ''It's okay to do that?'."

Yorke shared that she kept her voice in shape with vocal warm-up before the show and brought the virologist on tour to re-align her back when her voice felt stiff.

"It's a great feeling when your voice opens like that," he said. It's a mental problem. But this is what happens when you go on tours a lot, you have to ask someone to fix you if you do the same thing as me.
