Growl Tips!

[AntiMtv]

Even though it's a small forum we got ourselves a few vocalists here, so I asked myself why won't we exchange tips and techniques for grwols?
I gotta get back to my homework so I'll writre my comments later.
I'm interested in Paul's technique, he's got a very clear growl and yet in the same time it's distorted and kuicy as hell (I hope you know what i mean by juicy growl cause it sounds realy bad :s )

I'm sure that the first thing that Avi would say is JB

 

[Folklore]

NO!
Johnny Walker black lable.

 

[AntiMtv]

I know, I just wanted you to write something, hehe

 

[Folklore]

JB tastes like
and they say that you should do a body warm up, some sports in order to sing better, angela from ARCH ENEMY told me so.

 

[AntiMtv]

You should do some sports in general or just before the vocal training?

And when'd you speak to her?! talking about dream girls

 

[Folklore]

angela is sweet... but a bit older then me. i thing she`s reaching her 30th winter soon...

 

[Orphaned Matti]

Avi... 30 is not so bad...You show her what it's like man...

Anti, about your growling tips, even though I'm not a vocalist in any band, here's a tip for you: scream your fucking lungs out man, that'll work.

 

[AntiMtv]

I do that, thanks
A tip Defiler gives: A spoonfull of olive oil would clear your throat whilst a rehearsal.

 

[Folklore]

ummm.. olive oil is good for humus and Tabule salad. an arab friend of my father told me thats half a glass of country olive old in the morning is very healthy. but i think it might mess up your plumbing systems (ahem... if you get what im saying)

 

[AntiMtv]

Yeah, it'll make you spend a lot of time in the "Library"
And it's not too god for cholesterol, I guess

Growl tips... hmmmm... Wel, I made it a point long ago to make sure I pronounce every word as clearly as possible. Keeping the "wet" sound in the voice, is exactly that, You keep your throat wet. While recording, I drink a lot of Coke while recording, and hot tea between breaks to keep it loose. It's all about clarity for me.

half a week before my last gig, i got ill. my thoat burned and i lost my voice.
there`s an old "gremma medicine", it`s called gogle mogle. it`s made of hot milk, egg, honey and soda.
yeah it`s REALLY disgustung.. but it did work for me!

 

[Ko_B]

Olive Oil is great to the voice.

I once drank 3 eggs, I will never do that again...

 

[Folklore]

lollll
i dont wanna know what happened there... (but i`ll guess it was blended with some beer later on, wasnt it? )

i once drank beers with one of those soft ice creams.
aaauch

 

[AntiMtv]

Goggle Moggle realy works? cool! can you write exactly how to make it?

Hmmm, I also drink coke when I growl, and drink somethin' hot.

 

[Folklore]

i sent the recipe to ya`r icq...

 

[Titus_Andronicus]

lol
is it like a secret recipe?

 

[Folklore]

yes, if your gremma is not polish or russian ;-)

 

[hellscream]

My russian tip to drinks a few vodkas or a few beers, couple of honey spoons and always keep your throat wet.

 

[Folklore]

beer n vodka? wierd... honey sounds reasonable, but vodka just makes me feel bad, and beer makes me feel fat... and burp all the time..
