Luciana I would like to ask you something..
I consider my voice interesting, I have kinda good range (about two octaves) and I can also sing any note, just by listening the pitch... it feels natural for me (maybe, its because I am singing for about 10 years in a choir:P ) But the problem is, that when I scream (be it low pitch or mid pitch) I have feeling, like my voice is... 5 years younger than me.. When I am singing normally, its normal "manly" voice, but since I am singing metal, i need to add some crunch to my voice. Also, I have noticed, that when singing live, it sounds much better, than when recorded.. Dunno maybe its my inner complex or bad mixing of my voice?.. So to sum it up: 1) Will my voice, when screaming, change as I'll get older (my normal voice melody/color/basic range is pretty much set IMO..)? 2) Is it normal, that singer just hates his voice? 3) Can you give some lessons (or just advices) how to add "distortion effect" to voice properly? (maybe, I just don't know, how to scream ) Btw. I am 16 yrs old (I'll be 17 in 3 days ) Phoenix -------------------- my youtube account with riffs and ideas: https://www.youtube.com/user/Phoenygzus

Also, I have noticed, that when singing live, it sounds much better, than when recorded.. This is fairly normal, for 2 reasons: 1. You hear yourself differently when you are singing- you get sound through your bones and a different tonal balance etc 2. Singing live is of the moment, listening to a recording is forever - you will hear every little imperfection which you would just miss when hearing yourself sing live. In fact I have this exact same problem on guitar. You jam , it sounds great. You play back the recording and you hear a lot of stuff you missed. For this reason, recording is about 20 times harder than most people would think! -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

2 Luciana: To be honest, I dont like that kind of metal, where falesto is used:) So no, I do not use it:)
And my range is from d to C2 so its 3 actually otaves without one tone - btw. these are in czech notation - we have H instead of B etc.... (to show it on scale, my range is like d,e,f,g,A,B,C,D,E,F,G,A2,B2,C2). Anyway, I was singing basso everytime, so noone forced my to sing high tones.. maybe that is the reason.. also, choir on elementary school was like... very unproffesilonal:) Hope, that this all makes sense.. 2 Andrew: Thanks.. I think, you tottally nailed it :-D And also, the more I hear myself, the more fails I see.. First time, when I heard our record I was like "WoW.. we rock!", during tenth play.. I just had to stop the record, because I felt totally embarased:-D 2 Robin: I feel the same! I even hate myself recorded when taliking.. :-D Btw. Luciana what you mean by brakes of range? its the distance between normal and falsetto range? -------------------- my youtube account with riffs and ideas: https://www.youtube.com/user/Phoenygzus

Thanks Kaneda, as comprehensive as ever. Much appreciated. You're welcome, as ever Not even remotely a fan of Linkin Park, but Chester Bennington is always a good example of well developed glottal fry. That's how you scream for 15 seconds without losing your breath or ruining your voice for days https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HuBAjK0ul0 (The clean high notes aren't what we're talking about - you'll know when you hear it - around 2:00 and on) This post has been edited by Kaneda: Jul 17 2007, 06:04 PM |

This might be off topic - but when I understood how to use the stomach when singing/screaming, it was like a whole new world opened up... All of of sudden it was rock and not just false! Yes, breathing is key, and its one thing that beginners rearely figure out for themselves - I would expext Luciana to cover this soon as a beginners technique -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
