Members DukeOfBoom Posted August 1, 2011 Members Share Posted August 1, 2011 How does one sing AC/DC? Is that falsetto? Screaming? Mix voice? Head voice? WTF? Tips? Tricks? Would one necessarily pinch one's rectum to emulate AC/DC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jvardon Posted August 1, 2011 Members Share Posted August 1, 2011 Head voice I think, but with one of those odd techniques that add in things like growling or hoarseness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members staticsound Posted August 1, 2011 Members Share Posted August 1, 2011 I honestly think the dude's just screaming. I agree with the above post...it prob sounds so gnarly from all the nodes the dude probably has. I've seen a couple AC/DC tribute bands though, and the singers are spot on. You can get the same effect in headvoice and adding some distortion on top of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Masklin Posted August 1, 2011 Members Share Posted August 1, 2011 It's not necessarily due to vocal nodes. It's hedsetto with grit added. AC/DC were not the first. Check out Nazareth (especially ''). Surely there are others too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bajazz Posted August 1, 2011 Members Share Posted August 1, 2011 Not in the nodes, the guy can sing clean. Different from song to song, but mostly headvoice and reinforced falsetto in the higher range. Added grit/distortion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members YeahDoIt Posted August 2, 2011 Members Share Posted August 2, 2011 I call it belting - singing with chest voice, high pitch, loud. Ok here is a singing related craigslist ad that some of you might enjoy: http://treasure.craigslist.org/muc/2523298456.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Consume Posted August 2, 2011 Members Share Posted August 2, 2011 what the hell are these "nodes"? A node is a callus on your vocal cord. They used to claim you had to have an operation to remove them, but with proper training they can be eliminated without surgery. Brian Vollmer from the Metal band Helix got them, and he began training in Bel Canto, and his were eliminated in under a year via voice training. (and if anybody lives in Ontario - he teaches Bel Canto professionally, btw.)He was trained by Edward Johnson of the New York Metropolitan Opera. http://www.brianvollmer.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told by an ENT/Laryngologist that anyone who speaks with a gravelly voice has malformed vocal cords due to injury, a birth defect, excessive smoking, or something along those lines. It is caused by the vocal cords not aligning correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
