Check out the latest episode of Matt McGachy's podcast Vox & Hops presented by HEAVY MONTRÉAL. Episode 302 is "Extreme Vocals with David Benites of Extreme Vocal Institute & Renesans". You can check out the episode below and streaming on all podcast platforms:


David is one of the best extreme vocalists in the world but more than that he is also someone to knows exactly how to clearly teach extreme vocals to others.
Check out our conversation about how he got through 2020, his 1st beers, the soundtrack of his youth, discovering his voice, becoming a vocal coach, the modern extreme vocal coaching scene, Renesans, an Extreme Vocal Institute Brew & his hangover cure.
Throughout this conversation, David was drinking Peabody Heights Brewery, LLC ‘s "Unforgivable Curses" the 9% Triple while I enjoyed Microbrasserie Jackalhop. ‘s "Session NEIPA". This 3.7% Session NEIPA was hopped with Cryo Ekuanot, Hull Mellon & Cashmere Hops. It poured out with a glorious hazy veil, slapped juicy pineapples on the nose & ripped an enjoyably green light citrus finish.
Massive cheers to Kevin from La Canetti Villeray for joining David & I for a mini extreme vocal lesson. You rule!

- Matt McGachy


Here's what David had to say about the conversation:

I had such a great time doing this with my new friend Matt McGachy Cryptopsy, one of the best hosts and conversationalists with extreme vocals to match! Thanks for having me!
