I wouldn't consider myself a serious vocalist but I can do that Cemetary Gates bit flawelesly when I'm being serious.

Listen to my track at 3:10 ish you'll hear the best vocals ever.

I think I'm more or less the best singer in the entire thrash scene. I'm not very good live though.

Yeah i attempt to sing quite a bit, it is laughable really.
Gee.... I don't know about the rest of you guys, but lately the only things that truly motivate me are erections and bowel movements.

Thank the Police coming straight from the underground...

I pretty much learnt off YouTube to be honest, look for anything about finding the head voice and diaphragm use/breathing and you're away...

I'm trying to practice hitting notes and getting my control sorted, so memorizing how to hit different pitches and how my mouth/throat should be etc.

my vocal control used to be really awful, but it's getting better

The hardest thing is when you start off singing and can't bring yourself to belt to get notes above the passagio*, because at first one tends to have to make oneself shout to get the high notes without falsetto - getting control to any degree is all about finding the head voice (which is not falsetto) to take the weight off your chest so you're not just shouting the high notes.

Passagio - the passagio is a bridge in the male voice, its the point where the chest voice - the register you naturally speak in - ends, and above which you need to adjust technique to sing with control. To get what I mean, start off by singing or humming at a low pitch, and bring it up until its as high as you can go without having to raise your voice, push, or flip into falsetto. That is the passagio. If you put your hand on your chest while you do this, as you get higher, you should feel the resonance of your voice shift upwards towards your face and head. with controlled singing above the passagio the resonance of your voice lies more in the head region.

I hope this makes sense to some degree!
