DM Singing Tips?

SFH · Jul 13, 2003

Hey, I'm trying to find my growling voice, and I was wondering if anyone knew of any tips or tricks to help me out? Any help (especially from Johan) is much appreciated.

Rule number 1, and its the most important: Make sure all of your vocals come from the stomach or you will kill your vocal cords and talk like a rhaspy old woman who has been a chain smoker from the age of 15.

AxeOfDarkness · Jul 14, 2003

yeah thats about the biggest rule there is...
the only other thing i can say is go out and start eating and drinking beer cause most of the gread dm vocalist out there have some weight on them or a big beer belly which helps.

SFH · Jul 14, 2003

Thanks, I got the weight thing covered, 220lbs.

But is there, like, any special way to do it? I can't really figure out how to get it to come from my stomach rather than my throat.

AxeOfDarkness · Jul 14, 2003

practice and youll figure it out... i cant realy think of how to put it in words...

Belgar · Jul 14, 2003

lot and lot of practise, try to find your own patterns for highs and lows but do not try to copy other singers.

*Thumbs up*, thats manly mate :headbang:

To be a real man you have to be in that weightclass...(I may add that Iam so myself

)
Anything else is for faggots

As for the growling, just keep on practicing and it will come...good luck!

yeah try to develop your own style dont think of it as cheating just having your own style and being unique.

AxeOfDarkness · Jul 15, 2003

yeah find your own style.. i have herd atleast 100 bands with a vocalist that sounds just like the dude from napalm death... its rather repetitive...

SFH · Jul 15, 2003

Thanks for all the replies, fellas. Gonna try to get crackin' on this thing.

gargle Kerosene... but dont swallow...

AxeOfDarkness · Jul 16, 2003

its always good to gargle blood while singing on stage it makes you look cool

Belgar · Jul 16, 2003

I could gargle beer anytime.

another good tip is to scream directly after you drink. it keeps your vocal chords from hurting, so you can scream as long as you want if you have enough water

iAMtheblackwizards · Jul 17, 2003

I prefer gatorade to water when singing, but that could just be a flavor thing haha. Lots of liquid is a great idea though

Tips, what tips? It's growling not soprano.

I would say that its just as demanding, after all how many singers can you say growl really well?
Not many...Johan of course...but not many others...

milk orange juice and beer are all good as they make you produce lots of phlem which is essential for growling/screaming

a7r0phy · Jul 20, 2003

i second that, heh.

soda works well too, but Fresca works the best

Really? When I drink beer my throat always get drier the more I drink. So badly that I have to drink even more.
