Not sure if it is Screaming/Growling... (Vocal question)

[Kwerty]

Hi there.

I've watched some live videos by Zakk Wylde and I'm pretty inspired by him in terms of his vocals. He can sing and play thats one thing, and his vocal range is pretty wide.

Has anyone heard his MACHINE GUN MAN song? I can't reach the part where he somehow screams or something. Can anyone guide me on this? I've read up on some threads by those threads were targetting on emo style of screaming. not sure if they're the same though.

And also how do you, sing and scream at the same time.. I mean, like kurt cobain? Thank you.

screaming,whether emocore stuff or growling, basically uses the same technique. the only difference is your control, how much push you give it and your pitch. emocore and the like? use falsetto, almost to the point of using headvoice. growling? lower your voice. as for kurt cobain, what he does is just sing normally, but with rasp.i can't exactly give a detailed explanation, but its caused by the air rubbing against the back or your throat(i think).

sing from your heart and soul and you wont need to ask questions like these...

nothing to contribute? don't post. if people need help, we help. i'm sure you would appreciate someone helping you.

 

[unsane]

that IS help. do you think kurt cobain went up to someone and asked "hey how do i sing and make people feel the pain from the pit of my burning nauseous stomach?"

theres very little point on trying to copy someone's style, everyone is different.

kurt never said "ok im going to sing normally with rasp", he just went for it and more importantly he meant it..

Waha, pretty true IMO. But for example how do you tell someone to growl and sing from their heart? No offence, but technically it isn't really possible.

fgl:hah?oh tt..i didnt get it..haha...my dad didnt allow me to get cuz i screwed up my exams..then cancelled the deal with my fren n got him v. v. pissed..haha...

 

[strats]

not really, its possible to teach someone how to growl/scream. i was one of them, so i'm speaking from experience. but of course, the best thing is to learn yourself. don't hold back, just scream.

strats:i agree with u...wat i was talking about is kurdt cobain's 'factor'...
u can head down to kinokuniya n see 1 of his biographies(i dunno wich 1..too many!)..i think in 1 of them in the middle of the book they said he has tt 'factor'..i 4got wat is it's scientific term n it's also mentioned tt it's ther wen some1 is born..either u hav it or u dont...it's diff. from growling n screaming...
