Compression is the opposite of using lots of air. Compression is singing with the least required amount of air to make the desired sound whilst maintaining pressure.

completely unrelated, but this reminds me a little bit of how when a lot of people try to imitate that "old timey" Southern accent, particularly a nonrhotic variety (no R's after vowels), there's a tendency to go waaay to whispy and let too much air out and devoice stuff, it just doesn't sound right. In reality a proper southern accent is very.. connected is what always comes to mind. See when you make your voice whispy, air's coming out and it's devoicing the sounds you're making. When you don't do that, there's this buzzing smoothness that continues all throughout the utterance, and that's part of a Southern accent, it's like a legato feel.

Hey, of course this will work for females, they can do AMAZING things with their voices - maybe even better than guys! Just check out how amazing Tatiana from the band "Jinjer" is... you can do that too! Just takes work and dedication, but YOU CAN!!!

why not just say it. Bryan Adams has a high-ass voice so when he sings in his chest voice, he can just add the rasp easily. He's not straining to hit the pitches nor is he doing any kind of head voice or special technique. It's like a vid trying to teach someone how to sing like Dio or Brad Delp. If you have a tuba, you can't play flute parts. Thx for trying tho. At least this will make singers aware that there are different sounds they can make w/o yelling loudly. 4:25 yours is strained. Bryan's is still controlled and not into any mix or head voice. I'd advise people to sing inside their comfy range (key) while working in practice mode to extend their chest voice range as much as nature will allow. 4:28 literally sounds like an 80 year old man trying to sing a Bryan Adams tune. Bryan is not squeezing and straining like that. His voice is open and the basic timbre does not change as he ascends in pitch. oh well....

​@@RockYourBestVocals Oh, thanks and sorry if I sounded a bit harsh above but I just know from watching a lot of vocal tut vids that every single one where a baritone is trying to sing high sounds really strained OR the timbre is not correct because they are having to resort to some kind of mix or head voice to reach pitches. I mean, I realize guys like Brian Johnson and Tom Keifer used a gravelly falsetto of sorts but on my covers I sang it in lower keys then pitch shifted it up to the orig key (cheated hehehe) so even I know that even if I trained for years, I'd still not be able to sing the stuff going up past C5. BUT... you can increase your range and ability and that's still a good thing because you will just sound like you or something and here's my thought.... the MAIN thing in singing is hitting your pitches with stability. Timbre actually is secondary. I mean, who would have thought Bon Scott would sound good singing by listening to him talk? Yet... he was hitting his pitches and had crazy range so... that combined with that evil weird tone... it worked. I'm rambling. But thanks for the nice words. I stopped uploading because of personal reasons beyond my control. I doubt I will ever upload to that channel again. I haven't really sung anything much since I stopped uploading there. Been doing house repairs and voice acting and just trying to get from one day to another. Hope you have a good Christmas and New Years!

You think Chester Bennington was doing it wrong since his voice got noticeably weaker over time and tiny? I think he had to get surgery don’t at one point but I forget. Your distortion voice is really good when doing that Bryan Adams song. That’s almost exactly the tone I’d go for in distortion, very musical sounding like a guitar over driving the tubes.

after practicing raspy way is it normal to have a weird feeling at uvula? And I also tried not to give out air out while practicing

@RockYourBestVocals

5 ай бұрын

as long as 'weird' doesn't = 'pain'

Interesting, but a singer like Josh Todd sounds like he's doing it the wrong way. It's odd, but for me it depends on the song. I can sing "Ace of Spades" like Lemmy the right way, but when it comes to other songs, like "Lit Up" by Buck Cherry, I have more difficulty without doing it the wrong way. I think the "Correct Way" leans heavily on the microphone and the wrong way is as if you don't have that amplifier.
