Hey kardevox how do I get in touch with you?

[@nicksouza3405]

I'd really like to speak with you if you have time. Or if you have somewhere where I can talk to you with others? I'm a broke bastard so I can't really become a patron but. I got I feeling that you will like some of the noises I can make. I don't know if others have approached you this way but. I've been doing harsh vocals since I was 14. I'm 25 now. I literally just want to show you some shit. If I have to do a lessons format I'd love to know where I can learn more. But I really just want to see what you think of my current talent. But I'd be willing to spend cash. Let me know dude.

Yeah Will's vocals are *extremely* constricted in lows, gutturals and highs. The throat video confirmed that. It's a miracle that, as it seems, the weird torsion stuff he does with his larynx seems to prevent any damage from occurring. Insane sound though.

[@nicksouza3405]

Dude literally the first thing that I thought of when I saw Will under the scope was that we cannot see what is happening underneath where the camera cannot go. And it really made me realize that even though we have seen a lot of what is happening at the surface of the throat we still don't in now what is happening beneath. As a voc as list that is somewhat a unicorn in his own right I often wonder how it is I get so low and it feels like something is ingaging below that stuff. Also as I bit off a more nasty side note: I found out from dry heaving involuntary that something activates and causes a rattle that is very much sustainable..... I'm not sure what I did this. But I really analysed the physics behind that Involuntary movement and it felt like something that barely ever moves. And it created a rattle, flutter and timber that was very unique. If I can figure out how to take that shit I will for sure comment.

[@glockdookie5231]

How are you a unicorn in your own rught bud?

[@nicksouza3405]

As pretentious and egotistical as it may sound. I can do things rather easily when it comes to harsh vocals. And I am no stranger nor am I afraid to put my own stank and funk on it. And I am pretty confident that I have at least one or two noises people haven't heard yet. Or at least have not incorporated fully into music. I guess if I was to say it in dumb terms I can get almost as low as Alex terrible and give it the "power" everyone loves and I have old shrine of malice highs. Of course I try to be an animal with zombie/tunnel techniques. I love the voice, from voice acting to singing to screaming to inhaling to tuvan throat. To beat boxing. I love it. I would say I'm a unicorn

if im not mistaken that last part and there is a part at the beginning will did a closed mouth guttural. I wouldve had no idea but when he did them in the charismatic voice video i recognized the sound. He doesnt have any annunciation like he has in his usual vocals. Normally you can hear some kind of mouth position change for words. But at those parts you dont hear that at all and it sounds way more trapped inside

Actually Mark, ... I was curious on what you though about the really high scream/whistleesque tone at 3:20. It immediately reminded of the scream Dani Filth (Cradle of Filth) is known for, that almost choral but super hauntedly tone. It was layered in with a deeper scream and all the instruments at the point in the song its Fucking Intense... I was wondering what your thoughts on it were. It's definitely something I've never heard Will Ramos do yet. I was majorly impressed by this tune in comparison to the past few. Will is seriously growing and evolving as vocalist in such a quick yet interesting way. Honestly I believe a lot of the reason for that is his knowledge and respect for the art. And well also awesome guys like yourself out here making it a point to spread knowledge and correct ways of doing these types of vocal styles and how not to ruin your voice!. Mad respect brother! love your stuff man I have been a vocalist for a well over a decade involving screams and singing. Although Its been years since I've been in a band and all. I never stopped. I found Melissa Cross many-a years ago when she was the only one in the game. I have learned so much from watching your content Even in the past few months since i came across your channel.

When it comes to great Vocalist in Metal, there is a suggestion for your great channel. Its my first ever comment on youtube and its for a reason. You are interestet in unique voices and great musical perfomances, aren`t you? Well...there is a band called Hamferð, which is from the Føroyar Island. They are a Metal-Band. Some say its Doom Metal what they are creating. But foremost its really great music with outstanding vocals by Jón Aldará (both growling and singing). You will be suprised...and so will be your community here on KZbin. Espacially the live perfomances are worth a listen. The Song "Evst" is good song to start the Hamferð experience (the Live-Version from "Slay at home' during the Lockdown is fomidable. There is also an shorter unplugged Version of this Song online, which is huntingly beautiful). It would be great, if you give this band a try so that they get a little bit more attention in this world full of great music. Maybe there are some Hamferð fans out there, who can give my wish some support. Thank you very much for your great work.

[@thatguy_5240]

So, to comment on the second to last tone of the breakdown, I've actually achieved that tone while screaming along to this song. Its kind of like an overtone. Whenever I attempt to take my scream lower than my lowest normal guttural, I get kind of this muted, grunting overtone that gives it that very strange dual tone sound. Its not something thats entirely intentional, all I do is a low false chord guttural, then try to force it lower. (I know "force" sounds bad, but theres no other way I can think of to describe it, don't force your larynx or constrict any harder, just try to make the sound lower and push a little more air with your diaphragm)

[@DrumsAndGadgets]

Great info and reaction, again! You should check a Finnish metal band called Wintersun and their song "Sons of Winter and Stars, live at sonic pump studios". The singer/guitarist Jari Mäenpää has only 1,4 lungs; he had tuberculosis and lost part of a lung in process. He sings many styles and I think in this song there are 5-6 different styles from clean to fry. And the song is also a good one. ;-)

[@ashercoker5436]

“Woof. Okay.” had me 💀

[@Grimoriumm]

I might be wrong but then again this might be the only time I can actually provide useful input. At the end I think he's using polytones and not multiple track layers, Dickie Allen and Derrek Connolly from Nitheful do them frequently. (I can too but I'm nobody)

[@lilJuJuboi]

I know im late but im pretty sure the tone at 26:51 is a closed mouth scream thats coming out of his nose pretty much

oh I really hoped Mark would cover Will's gutturals at 16:18. to me it sounds like tunnely/nasaly low with a closed mouth. Similiar to the ones Dickie is doing (while closing his nostrils with his fingers). Well this is a good time to join your Discord :) Good content as always, Mark! ♥

I don’t claim to know much, but to me that weird second-to-last tone sounds like a low with a really tightly closed mouth, maybe only a few top front teeth showing, and he’s placing the resonance hypernasally; the distortion sounds like he’d either be feeling it right above his top front teeth, or right in his nostrils.
