@@Kinematic1987 thank you!

@@HMMR03 thats optional, but recommended.

@@hazardeur sounds like you are pushing too much air out. I did this mistake too, even with the right technique. The trick is to take a deep breath, and push air out at an even, but slow pace. And not too hard. You could try putting a straw in a cup of water, and practise pushing the air at an even pace to make bubbles. You'll most likely find that you are pushing way more than needed. Same goes for growl

@@Slowfingered i'll try that ,thanks a lot for the quick reply man

@@Logan-t7s That's awesome, glad to hear! It's my band Sodomisery's song Resurrection. Link is in description. Cheers

@@stevemuzak8526 For sure. It's all about finding the right techniques, practice and not give up easily. Takes longer time to master clean singing in my experience

Nah, I can growl with false cords, but I can't hold a tune to save my life

@@Brendow26 I felt the same. But then i practiced clean vox for a few months, and pushed my self to record a few clean parts on my bands latest album (Sodomisery). It's all about practise and finding your way. I dont believe in "talent"

@@Slowfingered how did you practice? I find it hard to hit notes usually, do you just sing trying to hit the notes better or so you have an exercise for that?

@@Brendow26 there's tons of good vocal excersises out there. Just pick a few, and do them every day. I first noticed difference after 6 months. Just take a guitar/piano and go up and down the notes and try to hit them. Also record yourself and listen if it sounds off or on key. Its basics. But it takes time

Awesome, glad to hear!

Thanks for the comment brother! Yes, tongue placement and shape of the mouth makes a big difference. I never really consciously think of it, which is why this sort of direct advice is great. Will try your idea out! Cheers

@@Slowfingered Jag kollade upp ditt band Sodomisery btw (Y) Ni har ett förjävla skönt sound måste jag säga. Ni fick ett nytt fan idag =)

@@andretoivonen9737 Kul att du diggart! Tack som fan 🤘

That's awesome! 🙂

🤣

Yo , i'm not the only one people think looks like jesus

Lmaooooo

God created everything. So, growls included.

SM7B > focusrite 2i2 > EZ Mix (some vocal preset, cant remember which one), Gain Reduction

Just be natural and dont force it. You already know how to do it subconciously example when you are really angry and scream at someone, you may notice that u already has that basic growl. If you can somehow capture that technique while u r angry and learn to reproduce it later then u can build upon that basic growl to evolve into other type of growls

@@karkon479thats the thing, idk how to do it naturally or how to even force it, truth is idk what I am doing

@@chickenpotatogod its okay bro it takes time. Another trick that got me the idea is when i was having a cold i tried to mix sneezing and screaming at the same time and it sounded something like slipknot scream. It might not be the growl u wanted to sound like but it will give you an idea of how metal scream works

@@karkon479noted and thanks

This is a tricky one to answer. But the most important thing is that you don't feel pain while doing it. Pain is a clear indication of wrong technique. But what you describe sounds more like being sore after a long workout, which is normal in the beginning. As it takes time for your muscles in the throat to adapt. But it can also be that you are pushing your voice alittle too much. Or trying to do too much in too short time. I mostly felt this in the beginning. Then i learned to not push as hard, and be more relaxed. But i still feel sore every now and then after a long recording session, or live show. Just listen to your body, and see if it gets better. If not - try something different. Hope this made sense, cheers

@@Slowfingered Thanks a lot

Pain means your using epiglottis

Glad to hear! Thank you 🤘

think of falling back into your chair and sighing, that's a tired sigh, like a sigh of disapointment

@@12GASlug i mean, how do you get the rattle? when i'm tired i'm just letting the air out

Think of it as he described it. But instead of just letting air out, give it a push with your stomach. Same feeling as when your trying to take a shit (im serious)

@@Slowfingered okay, thanks

Think of it as going to the gym. Do you need a personal trainer to learn how to work out? No. You can figure it out on your own. Just pay attention to your body. Try stuff out. If you feel pain while doing it, then you're 100% doing it wrong. If not, then keep doing it until you see results. If you don't see results, try something new. Thats my approach to pretty much everything. Unlike working out, it is very hard for someone to hear if you have bad technique. It's all about how you feel when you do it. But with that said. It sure doesn't hurt having someone giving you tips & tricks to get stuff going in the right direction. As i did in this video. Hope my answer somewhat helped. Good luck, keep at it!

It's a Shure SM7b (dynamic). Worked great for recording both growl and clean vox at home for the latest Sodomisery album.

That's awesome, glad to hear. Thanks!

Right on, thank you. You sound alot more genuine if you use your own vocal style, because you're able to relax more and not think about it. Taking breaks and days off is super important. For the last album i did 4-6 hour recording sessions, then took one day off before next one. That way, you recover and don't build fatigue. Cheers

Hard to say. But i suspect that the cough is a result of using the wrong technique, which is causing strain. You should feel no strain, discomfort or pain at all. Check out my first video in the description. Wish you the best, don't give up. Cheers man

Thats awesome, glad to hear!

Sounds like you've got the technique wrong. Put your hand/fingers on your throat. You should be able to feel a strong vibration. If not, then you're probably straining too hard

@@Slowfingered OMG IT WORKS!!!! THANKS DUDE I TRIED THIS FOR SO LONG!!!!!

It happened to me too when i started growling. Try to use more air and let it flow and pass smoothly.

🖤

Yes. I do this mostly when I'm layering for a chorus to make the vocals sound huge. I record 3 tracks. 1 fry, 1 mid and 1 low. Then combine them. Might do a video on this.

Correct. But i explain it in a different way. By learning to shout "Hey" as i do in th video, you automatically engage the right muscles. Using the 'diaphragm' and other terms never helped me understand what it means or how it should feel. But you're 100% right about not pushing it with your throat. Cheers
