singing

I heard this thing on the radio about this lady that actuall teaches singers to scream and growl without damaging their vocal chords. I think she has a dvd out, but I'm not sure what her name is, so this probably isn't very helpful.
 
People tell me that I can growl like Mikael Stanne from Dark Tranquillity :) I donno how I do it really..it just comes up lol
 
I actualy sound prety much like him, il tell you how I learned:
I listened to one of their songs (I sudgest that you use headphones) and I sang it while trying my best to sound like Johan, and I do it every day.
Hope my tip will help!
 
Try to growl when ur angry, it will help u a lot and do it every day.
By the way drinking and smoking will help u too to obtain that great sound but it's going to ruin ur health so u'd rather take breathing lessons with a music teecher cos it's all based on the breath (I'm a girl and I can do it, not on Johan's way but mostly like Archenemy, so I think that u can also do it)
 
smoke and drink....

growling only works if you growl from the stomach hard to explain....its like screaming and growling at the same time
