singing

this has been bugging me for ages, its come to the point where i have to choose between doing more growly vocals to singing clean, for some reason though i do everything to try and growl properly not to damage my voice it completely destroys my normal singing voice. if i had to choose between the two i would rather sing cleanly but i would love to be able to do both like mikael from opeth who seems to do both flawlessly, any advice/ideas?

Isn't there supposed to be classic book on Cookie monster singing by some New York singing coach?

Just go for a slightly growly edge on cleanish vox, sounds hardcore

even dio has growl

But hes fucking Dio.

In all seriousness, when it comes to clean singing I think its either you have it or you don't. If you gruff it up a little then its much easier I think.

there is no such thing as 'you either have it or you dont'

by **thrash metal maniac** on Mon May 18, 2009 1:35 pm

by **metaldazza** on Mon May 18, 2009 1:43 pm

well of course there is but there is nothing that can't be learned.

I like the drink "tea an hour before the gig". Images of death metal bands all sitting down to tea with their pinkies sticking out.

I always bitch when I am on tour and we dont have any.
