As I sit down to watch this, I'd just like to ask one thing: Do you think you'll still be making a video dedicated to doing wtaht I'd guess is called a "growl" whether you want to call it a Danzig (in Mother) or a Tom Keifer growl like you hear in many Cinderella songs or a Christina Aguilera type growl (like in "Dirrty")? No other rock teacher that I've ever heard of has a video on this, so if you were to do it, I would think it would be very appreciated by a lot of people. I don't quite understand it but I bet there's a lot of others who also don't quite know how to do it, but would love to do a Danzig or Keifer or Aguilera type growl!
Hi Russel, I’ve already done Danzig and Keifer videos so not sure 🤔 I have so many other videos I’d like to do but may circle back in that technique someday. Depends how many people want that.
@@RockYourBestVocals Oh, i was under the impression you were making a video on that. Two months ago in the how to sing like Glen Danzig video comments I asked you how you get the growl and you wrote: "I don't really think about what specifically I'm doing, other than trying to mimic that 'marge simpson' sound... But you've made me think on this more, and I've come up with a better explanation - I'll do a separate video on that specifically so I'd recommend subscribing so you don't miss it!"
Watching the video now. At 7:06 into it, this sounds like fry to me - not rasp or grit. Now, I'm not a Kurt Cobain fan, so maybe fry was what he wanted but what you're doing at 7:06 and what Kurt does in the chorus of Smells Like Teen Spirit (grit) or even what someone like Layne Staley does in The Rooster (grit) is quite different in sound than fry. Matter of fact, fry doesn't even require you to hold air back or the "lift something heavy" (which never did anything for me except provide an excellent way of building muscle tension dysphonia) technique. I realize you put a lot of work into this, but to me, that heavy fry sound without actual grit, isn't something I'd want to listen to. I'm not a Cobain fan though. Grit sounds (not fry but grit) don't have that sound of a car slamming on its breaks and hearing the tires skid and the squealing sound that comes from that. Grit (not fry) what Ronnie James Dio used, it's what Rob Halford uses, it's what James Hetfield uses, it's what David Coverdale used and it's quite different from fry. Whereas fry sounds like tires skidding, grit sounds like driving over gravel. It's got a crunch to it and it sounds cool. I've heard that Coabin's voice would beb trashed after recording one song and he'd even cough up blood. Kurt Cobain isn't my idea of a disciplined user of excellent technique in guitar playing, in singing or in any aspect of life. I believe if he'd lived continued to sing the way he did, he would have run into serious vocal problems, but being a junkie has never been conducive to developing a strong, disciplined work ethic or an interest in maintaining career longevity because longevity and heroin don't go together.
That’s why I hate using terms because it encourages people to prove they are right and someone else is wrong. I’m not into that. I’m a simple rock singer who loves to sing rock with different types of vocal effects to try to emulate my heroes. I just try to help people by showing them what I do in hopes it will help them. Did you get any benefit from what I shared?
@@RockYourBestVocals I got some benefit from the how to sing like Dave Grohl - The Secret Is Compression" video I just watched! This particular one wasn't my favorite, but I liked the Danzig one. I liked the Tom Keifer one.
Yo I have the tone right almost, but the one thing I can’t get is the scream Can you make a video on how to scream with power, because when I do it, it only sounds like rasp without the intensity of a scream I can get his songs like come as you are but I can’t get the tone for smells like teen spirit, I can’t get the intensity please respond
