Members DukeOfBoom Posted October 22, 2011 Members Share Posted October 22, 2011 Word, I just listened to it...he's belting an A4 on "attitude"? I'll put something up tomorrow. Almost the whole song is in the passagio region C#4-A4. He always hits that A4 live too. I dont know if its belt or covered or what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DukeOfBoom Posted October 22, 2011 Members Share Posted October 22, 2011 Try to smile to the camera lens rather than frown. It turns me on more, and that's the only reason I would watch it anyway.I seriously dig the hair products you use. I bet your hair smells really nice too.Oh, and when you actually scream, the volume is extremely loud. My eardrums are very sensitive and the screams are too macho for me. More justin bieber sha-na-nazz please.8=====DEDIT: If it's not too much to keep in your head, try focusing on avoiding vocal fry when you're speaking. Articulation is a lot easier to pick up and comprehend when the tone is smooth. I'm a dork and I want you to speak like a college professor rather than a rock star. fixed.

Members BLACKWINGEDBEING Posted October 22, 2011 Members Share Posted October 22, 2011 Good videos. I like that you don't take yourself too seriously and you back up your technique with sound examples. Your sense of humor comes thru and that's a good thing. I've been singing metal for twenty something years. Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DukeOfBoom Posted October 24, 2011 Members Share Posted October 24, 2011 so do you do vox exercises on with the fry scream? Would you recommend doing 1-3-5-4-3-2-1 or any other things on different vowels? you know, exercises to strengthen the scream or what? I still cant get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still cant get it The fry scream I don't really have an exercise for...I just do it. If you can do it light, like the Melissa Cross way, you're halfway there. It's just a matter of using the downward support to get it loud without your throat tightening up. Here's your covering video too. I didn't take it up too high, G4 is a good start to aim for.

Members DukeOfBoom Posted October 25, 2011 Members Share Posted October 25, 2011 I gotta admit, my favorite part of this video is how you asked me, "Duke, what song would you like to see with covering?" Duke replied, "staticsounds, it would be so incredibly awesome if you did Attitude by the Misfits!" Duke then anxiously awaits covering video featuring Attitude by the Misfits. Duke can hardly sleep at night in anticipation of the video! Then staticsound posts the video and covers STP. WTF!?? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members staticsound Posted October 25, 2011 Author Members Share Posted October 25, 2011 The same principles apply! That whole line is in and around the passaggio with a covered G4. Find me an instrumental of the Misfits tune... I looked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason or another, the powers that be decided that no Misfits karaoke tracks will ever be produced. Shame on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members staticsound Posted October 26, 2011 Author Members Share Posted October 26, 2011 I could always whip out the guitar, but I don't have the time. Did it help at all, at least with covering a G? One thing I forgot to mention, on the Misfits song anyways, instead of saying "attitude", it may be easier to slur it into "yeah-titude". Kinda helps with slingshoting that A into a deeper placement.

Members staticsound Posted October 31, 2011 Author Members Share Posted October 31, 2011 Steve Nash, lol? The tongue against the teeth helps...it smooths out after awhile. I'll crack on the F# every now and then on those sirens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DukeOfBoom Posted October 31, 2011 Members Share Posted October 31, 2011 mr nash, please do something on the messa di voce. the problem with all the messa di voce vids out now is they only do it in one register- i.e. chest or head as an example. I would like a vid that goes over the messa di voce (both soft->loud & loud->soft) in all 3 registers in the same vid: chest, cover, head. And also maybe in twang mode and regular mode. would be helpful. thnx duke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DukeOfBoom Posted November 3, 2011 Members Share Posted November 3, 2011 I can't do that f# with a covered sound. I end up doing the covered sound but by 'swallowing' the vowel, or it's just really crackly if I put the twang to it. how do u do the f#, since that's the damn note that is RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE of the two registers.

Members staticsound Posted November 3, 2011 Author Members Share Posted November 3, 2011 You want the crackly "light" sound. You get that because your used to belting the F# and now youre trying something new. So your voice is like WTF? I had the same problem. Use the twang and keep your tongue pressed against your bottom teeth, itll keep your larynx stable. Eventually the cracking goes away once you retrain yourself. Aside from the sirens, start on F# in a light head tone and try to swell it. Starting light like that helps with the placement and building the muscle memory. I'll try to get a Messa Di Voce vid up soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
