Another "How to properly growl..." thread.

When I practice with my band I last about an hour hour and a half, but I have your problem when I play concerts. Solution? I chew gum on stage. Since you're building your endurance, try chewing gum, then try without. Eventually you'll build a good endurance.

 

Funny visual

 

Actually Flal's method is a pretty good way to keep your throat lubricated. It might help your situation.

 

I gotta get my mouth and throat really wet, and roar/growl using the bottom of my throat. It makes me sound exactly like Tagtgren or, if I like "narrow" it, I can sound a little like Muhammed Suicmez. You have to use your mouth and cheeks to like, guide the vocal, so it comes out smooth and controlled.

 

My promblem is that my mouth runs completely dry in like, sometimes less than a minute... Makes it fucking hard to maintain a solid recording because I have to keep going back and re-recording vocals... Makes it hard to be consistant. Pop is the best lubrication, or milk, because they stay in your throat. Water just makes your throat dry because you swallow all your spit, I find.

 

I don't know why, but people on this thread have said not to drink milk when doing vocals. For some reason I want to believe them.... I know that pop isn't good because it dehydrates you for a while and destroys your throat. Drink a honey tea mix

 

I think everyone should read Hook_David's posts. He's probably the best one here from what I've heard. Maybe Delta but I havent listened to enough of his.

Very interesting thread!
I growled along today to "I killed the prom queen - shark's in your mouth".
My mic sucks and I am a beginner, but what do you guys think of this part?

dunno man, sounds more like you are burping, or like some dude that doesn't listen to metal and is trying to make fun of metal

it's too low..

well.. practice makes perfect

 

Does anybody know what technique Jason Mendonca of Akercocke might use for his growls?

On the Akercocke forum he once claimed to use a "very traditional" technique, but his growls sound pretty far from traditional to me.

I'd love to know how he gets that unique sound.

 

^I dunno man, sounds a bit like piggy voice meets Nile lol

here's me trying the "frying" technique instead of the usual growl I use on Bathe in Blood instrumental Flal sent me

I'm only proud of the 15 seconds or so scream/growl/wtv I make at the end

I've been looking for those instrumental bloodbath covers does anybody still have them? If you do please upload them!

 

So hey, it's me again, this time I tried for a more natural scream in the first half followed by a pretty natural growl, trying not to go low and just getting volume, here's a link (it's streamable for once) :

Thoughts? I don't really expect advice, there's plenty of that in the thread and personally at 14 I'm not exactly trying too hard anyway, it's not serious, just how does it sound, any improvement on my earlier stuff?

Cheers.

I dont know what you are doing but it sounds funny.

 

I only have the Bathe in Blood one, still need it?
