hey, i need some help with singing raspily.
i can sing decently, i suppose, but never get any rasp, and was wondering if you could put an example of you singing with rasp on the soundclick. My favorite raspy voice is greg graffin on the old bad religion stuff, if you know what im talking about, [url]http://www.purevolume.com/badreligion[/url] (play the second song, f*** armageddon this is hell. just to give you an idea of what i like. it seems like maybe im not pushing hard enough or in the right place, but when i push to hard my voice cracks.

also, i can only scream very quietly...if that makes sense... when i try to scream along with bands i can't do it at the right volume. what's wrong?

thanks for everything so far.

If youre Screaming "quietly"....its not a scream right? It takes push. BUt it has to come from the diaphragm. You need to practice singing. Normal singing so that you know where and what your chest and head voice is and where it seperates. I go over all of this in my hotline, and there are samples there....should be at least.

Sorry for bumbing this thread but I did'nt see a point in making a new one for this. Well I just started that falsetto scream today and it kinda sounds like the singer from Rancid's voice especially on the song "Poison" on their 2000 album. I will try to get a recording on here soon to see if you could criticize it. Also, my throat is rather sore now, it has been about a half an hour since I was doing the screaming and I chugged down 2 bottles of water doing it too. Is this just because it is my firstday screaming? Though I did'nt feel any pain while I was screaming. Well thanks for all your advice Merkaba I have read almost everyone of your response's on your hotline.

**I got a bottle of gatorade and drank that and I dont have a sore throat anymore. So, I suppose I was just a little dehydrated.

sore throat = bad

Is there any chance of you re-uploading the clips on the first page of this thread? I'm hoping they can help me, but the soundclick thing has expired.

[QUOTE=Rats]Gerard Way uses horrible technique, his voice is fu[b][i][/b][/i]cked up from it. I know this because I did the same thing and my voice sounded exactly like his...all raspy when he's talking regularly but when he sings live he sometimes has to sing like an octave lower cuz his voice is messed up.[/QUOTE]

this is true, he just pulls chest voice as hard as he can.

that=bad!

Theres a post around here somewhere where someone had the same problem but soundclick had rerouted it or something and there was a new link posted. I'll check soon. Stay tuned.

It's fine, I just searched soundclick for "Merkaba" and found it. Thanks though.

Help?!?!? please?
 

hey ive been reading a lot on your vocal stuff and its really awesome. i just want to know if you can help me get a certain sound. i can scream just fine (fry and false chord) and i have a great range, from growls to extreme highs. why cant i hit the highs and lows when im singing? i cant sing that great and i spent forevor mastering screaming. i really want to be able to sing. also, how do you get that rasp/gravel sound like Sebastian Bach (skid row)? thanks so much.
