Advice on how to sing this piece

Dear all,

I came accross this really wierd music video on youtube a couple of days ago. I think it's quite catchy, and it sort of seems like the kind of thing we'd be listening to more often in the future. I have no idea what culture it is from, however I was trying to immitate it and my throat kills. I do want to end up able to sing like this, however, how do I go about doing so safely?

The video can be found here:

Your advice and expertice on how to proceed would be much appreciated

Thank you

This is a funny style. lol

An actual style that this is closest to would probably be Tuvan throat singing.

from listening to this clip, it sounds like it was be done by a combination of three things: Trills, Yodeling, and Vocal fry.

Thanks for enlightiening me with your expertice. I've heard of trills and yodelling, however I've never heard of vocal fry before.

How long do you think it would take me to reach that level, and what training would I need to do so as not to damage my vocal cords, because they still hurt real bad ever since I tried imitating it.

And another question: what genre of music is this?

I haven't a fricken clue..

But I'll ask one of my music guru friends and let you know

Thank you, that would be much appreciated

My friend basically said its "experimental" music genre

I think so too.

this music needs a specific style and potentials to do & not very successful

Thank you- I thought it was a bit wierd

i think you should do better than that as it looks a little weird
