can anyone give me any tips on how to build up, like, throat strength, and also, like, breathing patterns and how to not have to breath as often and stuff?

Don't raise your shoulders to breath - instead expand from your diaphragm ( you'll see your tummy poke out )

1-Try not to roar like someone. Get one of your fave songs on and go fucking nuts just change the pitch of your roar when the vocalist does but don't try to sound like the vocalist.
2-Roar from the pit of your stomach
3-The sound of your roar depends on how you shape your mouth, make a rounded shape and it should come out low and when you widen your mouth it should go higher.
4-Think about something or someone you hate and use all that anger to amplify your voice
5-Gritting your teeth works quite well as it makes you sound like you have more conviction about whatever it is you choose to roar about.

hmm...i used to be a backup growler in a thrash band when bassing with them...thats how i got started...then when i started playing grindcore, i was the vocalist/bassist.

a few tips...
1.never growl when your throught is dry...
2.always drink room temp water (The Corpsegrinder does that)
3.at shows dont spit alot. specially when your singing.
4.clean your throught before starting to sing
5.always practice without a mic. (i donno..that helps me alot)

like every one has sed keep your Throut lubrecated never do it dry
also water is the best like Reredrum sed room temp. is best but i always find as well if you find a drink for me is cock or milk give you a good flem witch adds to the grow like almost a throwing up sound well thats what i get but i dont recomend milk tongue.gif it ends up looking liek a seen from the exorcist.

listen your fave song by eny band be is CC or back street boys (DM is best for this but still it would be funny to hear a DM version of back street boys laugh.gif ) and go ya hardest listen to how the vox is sung the higher pitches the low as well.


and grow from your stumich not your throut wink.gif i think thatswell coverd



all i can say is just keep practiceing mate even if ya mum thinks your possessed keep going the more you do it the better you get

Scale exercises work well to. I heard somewhere that eating cheese works lol never tried it myself, I dont like cheese that much lol Warm liquid, I like coffee that way I kill two birds with one bean. I like to do light screaming exercises before I do serious singing, it helps with growling, screaming, and singing. Just make sure what you keep warm water with you while your doing your stuff.

well looks like u guys basically said all i was going to say..

a question on my behalf. how do you get your growl louder, i can do it pretty good but not super loud. tryin to get it louder but its hard after a few minutes my throat hurts and then i drink water but it still dosnt help a ton. dose it hurt just cause im workin on getting louder or what?
Reredrum
... you just growl louder...its unexplainable... use a mic?... and get used to the pain... it doesnt last long...

you gotta train your chords to take the abuse. kinda like calouses that develope when you play guitar.

Never drank a cock myself before roaring but whatever floats your boat.

try this. try to make your voice as deep as possible and practice trying to talk @ 1st, yes it will put pain and strain on your throat @ 1st but you actually wanna try to make it as if it's coming from your stomach because that's where the pressure actually builds up in any death metal singer. i'm basically saying, try to control your voice from your gut as deep as you can... hopefully this advice helps because that's basically how i got deep... oh yea and drink alotta water too. a lil soda might help also.

cheers.gif

Practice a lot, and your throat will hurt at first, and you'll loose your voice too.

The best advice I could be able to supply for a good growl, like some of the others have said:
1. Have your lips rounded for a good low growl, and widen your mouth to convert to a scream.
2. Keep your mouth moist
3. Keep your neck retracted so you look like you don't have a neck. It's supposed to help widen the vocal cords if you want the growl a little louder. I've heard this works, but I don't have proof.
4. and of course there's the mental viewpoint. Pretend your finally stepping up to someone that makes you absolutely furious, and convert your anger into the growl.

And the only original advice, in case you're extremely desperate.

Start smoking weed. That's what Chris Barnes did. He started smoking weed, and do all of the above, and you should sound as evil as he does. Hopefully you don't follow this advice.

didn't chris' voice fuck up BECAUSE he smoked too much weed, i've never really known to much about it????

tea with some honey hmmmmmmmmmm i'm gonna try that later tongue.gif
Vile Suffering
STOP SUCKING DICKS. laugh.gif J/K DRINK ROOM TEMP WATER AND LET IT COME FROM YOUR GUT. ALSO DONT PUT TO MUCH STRESS ON YOUR THROAT OR ITLL CUT YOUR GROWL LENGTH IN HALF

I've practiced using my gut, and it's sounding better. I'm not really into "highs" though.
