The**OFFICIAL**Voice/Singing Help Thread

Open your mouth wider and drop your jaw. The nasal resonance is fine, but to lessen it for a better sound you need to open your mouth more to allow the sound to come out elsewhere at the same time. Drop your jaw, and make kind of a smile with your top teeth showing to get a better cutting, less nasal sound. You just need to play around with it.
 
Cove is a tenor I'm sure. He's not far behing Anthony Greene. Both are pretty blessed. If youre a baritone then good luck. People need to understand this and i hope more people in the future will try to state whether or not they are baritone or bass or tenor or whatever they might think they are.

Actually this part is not all THAT high and I'm pretty sure its not falsetto, especially for him. If you can't hit it without using falsetto youre probably in the baritone area. Voice mechanisms can be stretched and challenged but its gonna be hard to maintain singing out of your born range. Age also plays a factor. If youre generally under 17 you might have some more changing to undergo.

Can you post a sample?

.....
Actually after listening to that clip again...he might be right at his lower falsetto area.
 
Like the thing is i can go through a whole set fine, its just when i hold a note for say, 4-5 seconRAB it just kinda drowns out and goes back to singing, but that realy bad raspy numetal singing.
 
This thread, http://www.rabroadmusic.com/forums/showthread.php?t=506241 was just started about ant, one of my faves. You can't "learn" to sing like him for forget that notion. But you can learn to acess all of your range, whatever that is. With that being said, perhaps yours is close to or more than his. Who knows.


Me? I'm just a nobody with no band and very limited guitar skills. I've taken a few lessons, notably from the great mark baxter, who was stven tyler's vocal coach among others....http://www.voicelesson.com/ And more importantly I just studied the stuff and have always had a knack for effective communication, which I learned in college. About the only thing I did learn. I did get a business degree though, and minored in sports physiology. I meditate (merkaba) and do taichi and or yoga everyday. I do personal training as well. I know a ton about fitness/health etc. Other than vocals, fitness, and meditation/psi/spiritual concepts/etc I dont claim to be too knowledgeable of much. Most vocal stuff is uncomplicated once you learn a few basics of the anatomy and whats going on. Conveying it with worRAB is a bltch.
 
chiodos and saosin is way up there and you'd need to be a tenor to do them with consistency. I take it youre talking about the current saosin. I say Anthony Greene is a male alto or close. Very unique to posess such a vocal setup once you've gotten past puberty. I would say Cove is more of a typical tenor. So hope for the best.
 
Hi guys,Im a new member here and want to learn more bout singing.

My first question is that I know we sound different when we hear ourself sing and other people hear us.My question is if we practice can our voice(that is heard by other people) be the same like the one I hear?

My second question is when I sing I can go both from really low to really high.I want to know the name for this kind of voice.

Thx in advance
 
i really need help on singing screamo. my voice is wierd and i cant really "scream". when i try my voice turns into a whisper scream. i want to know how to sing screamo. like what to do when im screaming. i need big help so please give me some tips. i wanna be able to do screamo like underoath. there new and old stuff
 
hehe..thanks Ken.

AppreciateIt, I'm not familiar with Tim. If you can post a short sample of what youre talking about I could comment. But there's not much in the way of teaching it. If its raspy or growl you get that sound by being able to keep your corRAB in vibrationary shape, as you push extra air through them, enough to deflect off of the glottis area just above your corRAB, where you have some folRAB at call the false corRAB. Like if you were going to gargle the note, kinda. (Thanks Kristina). Other than that and keeping the larynx/adams apple relaxed its really not alot going on.

First you have to have the range or ability to get there, which for some can take a while...Like years. And depending on the size of your larynx and your corRAB you do have an ultimate stopping point...as to where you cant pull your corRAB any tighter across your larynx. But I always say that it takes while to get to that point if you ever do, and that most people will grow indefinitely with proper form and technique. And dont forget that lessons are always good. I mean it IS just the internet here.

Remember that most people around here are basically asking the same type of question as this: "I dont work out that much, and I currently bench press 180lbs. What do I have to do to be able to bench 400lbs like whats his face?"
Safe form and technique, Genetics,and lots and lots of work.
Did I say alot of work? Oh yea...lots of work.
So You would need time alone to work on your bench press to really get that strong..it would take forever if at all, if you were just working out 15 minutes here and there, and thirty here, then not at all for a week, then 10 minutes the next day, etc. Ya know?

Where do i start to stengthen my voice; Merkaba i know youve written tons of ****; but im just not sure what to look at. Is strengthening your voice to be able to yell almost (IE. Pearl Jam "Black", at points), (Dave Matthews; All Along the Watchtower); basically yelling not "Screaming" something that can be learned/taught; or is it natrual talent. Where should i start?
just to give you an idea of my voice heres two songs.

hello merkeba...i just want to know why it hurts my throat and i push too much force when i sing..ive tried to avoid it but i cudnt..can u tell me how i can?and how i can sing freely..
 
I would go with what auz was saying and just rudiment stuff in general. Do scales and exercizes and glisses. If you didnt have any pain I dont think it would be anything more than mucus affecting you. I've had to sing "conservatively" many times for an hour only to suddenly have a glob pop up, or a sneeze, then having a completely different vocal ability afterwarRAB. We cant be sure but if there is no pain or discomfort or hoarseness then I would at least do some regular singing.
 
Hey guys :)

I was wondering if any of you had any good advice or techniques on how to get grittier/more aggressive vocals ala James Hetfield.

Might be a bit vague, i'll elaborate if need be.

thanks :)
 
Hey, I've been reading Merkabas Voice-Help Hotline (fantastic stuff by the way)
and I just wanted to know if head voice and falsetto are the same thing.

Thanks
 
Make an angry type sigh. Kinda like "Uhhggh!" Like you are ....ed off or frustrated. Congrats, you have just activated your diaphragm. If you are doing it right you should feel no pain coming from your throat. Now experiment with various levels of this and you should eventually be able to sing like a grunge singer. When you activate your diaphragm you should be screaming or gurgling without using your vocal chorRAB. Your throat could be totally relaxed but a scream will be coming out. Doing this partway instead of in full is the only way I know to achieve a rasp. Some people use their diaphragm to push a more intense volume of air through their throat achieving a more perfect rasp, but I'm still trying to figure this one out (see my above posts).
 
yeah man, I was planning on getting it for christmas, but I didnt in the end. I will try sometime this year. Before I started singing my speaking voice would be around the A2 pitch, but since I've been singing (for about a year and a half now) I speak around the E3. its like my voice is reverse breaking lol so I feel comfortable as a tenor atm.

Anyway, thanks for the info dude, it's certainly cleared a bunch of things up and been of use to me.

Anyone with info about the mixed voice?
