I NEED HELP WITH VOCALS

[robuttocks]

I want to be able to do vocals for a hardcore band im making.. and i need help learning how to do it.

I can scream to where it sounds good.. but i need to know how to do it where it doesn't hurt. And so I can do a real long scream(like a 7 second scream )

[Perndog]

Psst..screaming sounds retarded. That's why it hurts. Try singing a little.

The only way to scream consistently is to fuck up your vocal cords to the point where it's not painful anymore, yet you don't have a normal voice anymore either.

first.. we have somebody else that sings cause i cant sing. we do singing mixed with screaming.

second.. there's other ways to scream then to hurt yer vocals. i just dun know what they are lol.

Whisky & cigars.

Especially if you're a preggers woman.

[FartinMowler]

Just think of Perndog rapeing your butt.

[Perndog]

Oh, that Fartinmowler, what a card!

you better not be talking about dumb growling shit.

if you wanna hear some screams that would rip the shit out of atleast MY vocal chords, listen to the sawtooth grin. highest pitch scream i've ever heard.

Yeh.. im not talking about low death-metal stuff. More like the stuff they use in HXC. Stuff similiar to AS I LAY DYING and stuff. And i'll check out the band later tonight.. when I get through installing linux.

well hears how i do both death metal growls and such...
Death metal growls:
1: i have a certain area of my throat were i can do them and not hurt my vocal chords or anything like that.
2: lower where your scream/growl comes from. Bring down so it feels like its coming straight from your lungs.
3:lower the volume if it hurts sometimes, then just cup the mic, you pussy.
Screams:
1: it helps to do the far and few between... but if you insist on doing gay screamo bullshit then what ever.
2:chris barnes... tomb of the mutilated.... end of story.


oh, and the sawtooth grin obviously uses vocal effects... and they blow ass for trying to be too much like dillenger.
